✨ Amura Tip
The "Dream Weaver": Jade has been used for centuries to access the wisdom of the dream world. Before going to sleep, place a piece of Jade on your forehead or under your pillow. It is believed to help you have "insightful" dreams that provide solutions to your daytime problems, and it helps you remember them more clearly when you wake up.
1. Introduction: What is Jade?
Jade is a name applied to two different minerals: Nephrite (the more common, tough variety) and Jadeite (the rarer, more translucent variety). For over 5,000 years, it has been the most revered stone in East Asia, known as the "Stone of Heaven." It is famous for its extreme toughness—while not the hardest stone, its internal structure is so interlocked that it is incredibly difficult to break.
2. The Spiritual & Healing Meaning
Jade is a stone of "quiet authority." It doesn't scream with energy; instead, it radiates a steady, calm vibration that promotes longevity and well-being.
Emotional & Mental Benefits
- Emotional Release: It is known as a "dream stone," helping to release suppressed emotions through the dream state.
- Self-Sufficiency: It encourages you to become who you really are, helping you recognize yourself as a spiritual being on a human journey.
- Peace & Purity: It acts as a protective shield against irritability and negative thoughts, soothing the mind and body.
Metaphysical Properties
- Good Luck & Prosperity: Jade is perhaps the world's most famous "Good Luck" charm. It is believed to attract wealth and fruitful opportunities to the wearer.
- Wisdom & Longevity: It is associated with a long life lived with grace, helping the wearer gain wisdom from their life experiences.
3. Physical Healing Properties
In lithotherapy, Jade is associated with:
- The Kidneys: Historically called "Lapis Nephriticus," it is primarily used to support the kidneys and adrenal glands.
- Detoxification: Believed to help the body’s filtration and elimination systems, aiding in the removal of toxins.
- The Heart: Its green vibration is used to support the physical heart and to balance blood pressure.
4. History & Lore: The Imperial Gem
- More Valuable than Gold: In Ancient China, Jade was considered more valuable than gold or silver. It was a symbol of rank, and "Jade Burial Suits" were crafted for royalty to ensure immortality.
- The Maori Heritage: The Maori people of New Zealand carved Nephrite Jade (known as Pounamu) into sacred tools and "Hei-Tiki" pendants, which were passed down as powerful family heirlooms.
- The Mayan Connection: To the Maya and Aztecs, Jade represented life-giving water and was used in the most sacred religious masks and ornaments.
5. How to Use & Place Jade
- In the Office: Keep a Jade plant or a piece of Jade in your "wealth corner" (the far left corner from your door) to invite business success.
- As a Beauty Tool: Use a Jade roller or Gua Sha to massage the face; it is believed to cool the skin and promote lymphatic drainage.
- On the Body: Wear Jade as a bracelet or pendant to keep a constant flow of "luck" and harmony in your aura.
6. Care, Cleaning & Charging
- Cleansing: Use lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth. Jade is very tough, but it can still be affected by strong chemicals.
- Charging: Jade loves Earth and Water. Place it in the rain or near a flowing stream (safely) to recharge its vital energy.
- Important Note: Because Jade is so tough, it can survive impacts that would shatter other stones, but it is still porous—be careful with perfumes and oils.
7. Jade FAQ
- Why is some Jade so expensive? "Imperial Jade" (vibrant emerald-green Jadeite) is one of the most expensive gemstones in the world due to its rarity.
- Is "New Jade" real? Often, "New Jade" is actually a variety of Serpentine. It has similar green vibes but is much softer and less valuable than true Jade.
- Can it go in the water? Yes, Jade is very water-safe and was traditionally cleansed in rivers.
