This mineral is known as the "supreme nurturer". It acts as a reminder that one is not here, on this physical plane, just for oneself, but is also here to bring joy and substance to others, assisting others to release the bonds of constraint.  It is conducive to awareness and to allowing one to celebrate situations of isolation. It helps one to realize that one is always remembered by others who can, usually, be called upon to provide insight to examples of those who send loving energy toward ones physical manifestation.  Jasper was often worn by shamen to provide protection. It holds an aspect of solar energy and a connection to the solar plexus chakra which also helped shamen in their magical practices. It was considered a sacred stone during the performance of, and adherence to, the "old ways" of the Native American Indians. The jasper which contains the yellow colour was used to assist and protect during times of travel [spiritual or physical]; that which contains the red colour was thought to induce health and re-birth, bringing freshness in ideas and strategies to the holder. The jasper containing the blue colour was used to connect one with the "after" worlds.  It is a stone which accepts intense responsibility in the realm of protection. It protects against negativity and helps one to be grounded to the stabilizing energies of the Earth.  Jasper can be used to align the energy of the chakras and to integrate the attributes of the chakras such that astral journeys can be affected.  It balances the yin-yang energy and balances the physical, emotional, and intellectual bodies with the etheric energies.
