What Kind of Jade Should I Wear? Hurricane Season

It's hurricane season here in Florida.  That's a reason I haven't posted on the blog in awhile. Even though we live in central Florida,  hurricanes do sometimes have a path right over us.  When we first moved here in 2004, six weeks later hurricane Charley, a category 4, flipped path that was toward Tampa to inland, and right over us.

Hurricane season also means we don't know when we will lose power. Because this is central Florida, whatever side of Florida the hurricane tracks, we get the edge of high winds, lots of rain.  And power outage.  That means no internet for the jade web sites.  I spent several days making a page I can upload fast that shows the jade store is closed until power goes back on.

There is so much to prepare for starting in early August.  I have so much jade in this house, and I need to keep it safe as possible.  I keep the jade that is listed in plastic or cardboard boxes that I can easily move and slide under the house if I need to.  That's a reason it takes awhile when someone asks questions about specific items.  It might be packed away.

My own personal jade is also packed for emergency evacuation.  Some of my jade bangle bracelets are valued at $10,000+   I love them for what they are, not just the value.

Hurricane season is savage, so I wear down to earth jade on my wrists during the hurricane months.  This year since the weather has been so crazy all over the world, I've been wearing jade for protection, and for good health.  I actually wear the bangle bracelet on my left wrist, and the bead bracelets on my right wrist, but I couldn't take a photo with my left hand, so I put them together:


The black jade bangle bracelet is Chinese jade, deep deep green almost black   "Two Dragons Hold Pearl" is symbolic protection.  Dragons are "yang" and protect.  Pearl is "yin", and craves protection.

The elastic bead bracelet is genuine and natural Burmese jadeite beads.  They are all the different colors of jadeite: green (health and well being, related to liver meridian), white (related to lung meridian) "hong" orangish red (related to heart meridian, yellow (related to spleen meridian), deep green almost black (related to kidney meridian)

Jade has good qi energy when it's genuine and natural color.  And it works for me several ways.  Firstly, I feel good wearing jade, it makes me happy, content, and calm.  The "Two Dragons" bangle bracelet is enjoyable to touch and move around.  The bead bracelets together add balance to the right wrist.  

How do I decide what kind of jade to wear during hurricane season?  The same way I wear jade all the other times.  I go through my jade collection, touch each piece, and when one feels "just right", I know that's the jade to wear.
