As Whitmark evolves and we expand our collections: two things will always remain the same - every candle will be sealed with Reiki energy, by a Reiki Master and each candle will be infused with a specific crystal. The crystal selection is a critical step in the process, as it aligns with the intention or inspiration, as well as connects with the aroma therapy for the high vibrational healing experience you’ve come to expect with our candles.
I’ve been working with Red Jasper for both the Compassion candle and for a new line that is focused on the body and movement. It’s a crystal that brings balance, stamina, courage, and the “inner strength of a warrior” according to old Viking rituals. It’s also commonly called The Stone of Endurance and Nurturing, as it feeds back to you your own inner power that can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. I found this property to be the most interesting. We can think of Red Jasper as a flashlight, highlighting our own strength that we may not be able to find ourselves at the current moment; proof that we as beings are the master of our own energy and excellence; using Red Jasper as a conduit or catalyst to enhance it. And finally, because of its strong connection with the root chakra, Red Jasper comes with incredible grounding properties. Imagine connecting with your highest potential, creating a path of consistency and endurance all while creating solid roots in your intention. It truly is a crystal for a warrior.
When we address intentions like Compassion, we require endurance and consistency to live out the true meaning. Much like connecting in the physical sense, endurance and consistency are key. When working with Red Jasper it was a clear activation of the intention and inspiration we were trying to achieve. Creating a solid foundation, with a grounding stone connecting with our Root Chakra and connecting with the properties of endurance and long term commitment as we are shown our true strength. This allows us to reach our goals and we manifest growth and healing in our lives.
