“Isolation creates Stinginess"

Red Jasper is associated with the Root Chakra dealing with safety, security and being an accepted member within the tribe- as well as feeling at home in your own skin. It calls to release the fear & defensiveness that has created boundaries between you & others. The exaggerated concern to stay separate out of fear, apprehension & combativeness has left you battle fatigued & tired of seeing others as a potential enemy. The prolonged act of keeping others at a “healthy” distance, despite your natural urge to seek the support of your community (friends & family), interferes with your ability to feel connected & centered. The chaotic & scattered feelings produced can mess with your ability to discern because you’re not sure who you can trust. Further fueling the feelings of isolation, you may have been battling others in a somewhat self-absorbed attempt to take care of only your needs forgetting there are others that are just as worthy of good fortune. You are also being called to let go of the need to fight in order to maintain or defend your position. Avoid getting “fired-up”. Deal  with conflicts & challenges maturely in a balanced manner.

Herkimer Diamond asks us to open up to receiving & sharing insights and inspirations in order to reach a goal.  It encourages us to have the willingness to consider new & creative ideas to a “blocked” situation which would be the answer to a Collective Wish. To counteract this fear & closed-offedness, look for opportunities where you can share the gift of your dynamic personality, vibrancy & magnificence with others. Look to how you can help another realize their dream to be on the receiving end of what is right, just & fair. Perhaps supporting your community by donating time, attention, resources or wisdom to your little circle. Offer, with a good & humble heart, the very best parts of yourself to those really struggling to stand firmly on their own ‘two feet.’ Maybe it’s you that needs assistance. If so, have the willingness to “drop your guard” and allow someone to offer their help to you. You will get what you need.
