1. Sharpens intuition
The colour of a jade can be used for meditation, which can be better than traditional pharmaceutical prescription when it comes to your mental health. Jades of a darker green shade can be used to center and ground you, while the paler green variety can calm an agitated mind. Anxiety can impair the ability to make intuitive or “gut” decisions. Lavender jade may sharpen your intuition if you feel uncertain of your instincts.
2. Gathers wisdom
Jade signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility, and its translucency dispels the negative and encourages you to see yourself as you really are.
3. Revitalises
Jade is smooth to the touch and represents vitality and growth. Having a piece of green Jade in your hand during the cold winter months can be a tonic to the spirits, letting you know that warmer days will soon be here.
4. Clears the spirit
As the GIA notes, jade represents clarity of mind and purity of spirit. It is a filtering stone and can help you to sort out what is relevant from irrelevant. It clears away emotional and spiritual debris, allowing you to see to the heart of the matter.
5. Harnesses earth’s positive energies
A thick natural jade harnesses the earth’s positive energies that aid in physical and emotional healing and can ward off the negative energies surrounding you. Being the key to good health and well-being, a jade with a good thickness is meant to bring you peace and harmony.
6. Stimulates Qi
By stimulating Qi–what the Chinese call your “life force”, it is believed that a jade stone has healing properties. In holistic healing and crystal therapy, jade is useful to treat disorders of blood circulation. It has a calming effect on the nervous system, that it can soothe the kidneys, gallbladder and liver.
7. Creates abundance
Green jade is also a stone of abundance. A thick green cabochon jade can help you release scarcity consciousness and relax into the abundant embrace of the Universe.
