As a totem animal, the Fish symbolizes fertility, joy, changes, and knowledge. It allows us to connect with bodies of water, and can assist with understanding the “depths” of obscure or hidden things such as our subconscious. It is a totem of success and vitality. It is also a happy totem, and reminds us that if we don't like our surroundings... just keep swimming!
Red Jasper has sometimes been called the “Stone of Counselors and Healers" as well as the "Earth Stone." Its energy reminds us that we are here on the earth to bring joy to others and ourselves. It is a must have stone for all people working with stones and is thought to induce health and re-birth. It is often used by Indigenous healers for protection, strong Grounding, self-healing and remembering dreams.
It is also said to afford some protection of the First and Third Chakra area.
It has often been used to focus on and "activate" the first Chakra, in order to increase one's life-force energies, (also known as Chi, Mana, Prana etc.)
In Crystal Healing, it is used for Self-Healing and increasing one's strength, both emotional and physical.
Red Jasper is associated with the Root or Base Chakra but may be used to assist with the balancing all of the Chakras, as being strongly Grounded is a necessity for balance, on all levels.
Hematite (sometimes spelled Hemetite). Hematite is a must for anyone interested in working with crystals and stones. It is said to assist in grounding and calming and in manifesting Divine Light in your life. It deflects and dissolves negative energies.
Hematite is said to help one to 'sort things out' and can be used for memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge. Hematite, especially in its natural crystalline form, is traditionally thought to bring peace, self-control and inner happiness.
It is a calming energy and is said to attract "kind" love and act as a stabilizing force.
In Crystal Healing, it is used to calm the nerves, for insomnia, and to align the spine and speed the mending of broken bones. Some Indigenous healers have used it with blood disorders. Hematite is associated with the root (base) Chakra.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
