YELLOW BANDED JASPER

Overthinker? Yellow jasper is a helpful stone to overcome your shyness or embarrassment when doing something new or out of character. Having yellow jasper allows you to feel safer within your self-esteem and less about what everyone else is thinking or saying about you. Yellow Jasper is ideal for activating the solar plexus chakra. When this certain charka is out of balance spiritually, we feel fear of the disappointment or displeasure of others. Wearing Yellow Jasper for extended periods of time, builds self-confidence and enthusiasm, channelling positive energy.
