It's been a buy few weeks since my last blog post. Orders for Christmas, and all the stress of making sure they USPS, UPS, Fedex get them delivered. And customers purchases jade gifts often have questions about "what is the right kind of jade to buy". And of course how to choose a jade bangle size, not only for someone else as a gift, but also how to find their best size.
The weather here in central Florida was colder than it usually is in December, so I spent more time at home, which was good because of the orders, customer service, and listing new items for the holidays. Lots of work, very "yang", I wanted to change the jade bangle I was wearing for a more "yin" jade to help balance my body, mind and spirit. As I usually do when it's time for a bangle change, I reach into the drawer where I keep my jade bangle collection until I had a "feel" of a bangle I touched being "just right" for the time in my life.

Then the last week, our normal warmer weather returned, I spend more time outdoors, not only taking photos of the jade in natural daylight, but cleaning up around the outside, riding bike, and was so busy I needed more "yang" again to get through Christmas and New Years with jade business and personal life. So time to change the jade bangle again!

Burmese jadeite "old mine Lao Pit" bangle bracelet
Wearing jade with the qi energy my body, mind and spirit benefit from has helped make me more intuitive. A large percentage of customers ask "is the jade real", and living with jade has helped me learn more about jade. I have some testing options, including a refraction meter kit that identifies if it is really jadeite. And I can tell from "chime", and touch, if it is natural color as I believed it was when I bought it in China, directly from the jade carvers near the Burma (Myanmar) border. The "old mine Lao Pit" Burmese jadeite was mined and carved prior to 2008 and the political problems between Myanmar and USA denied any jadeite entering the country. I had most of them tested by a member of the China Jade Association who has his own jade carving shop and laboratory for testing. And all the "old mine" on Ying Yu Jade and Jade Heaven were purchased before 2008, kept in storage, some are still unlisted. This worked out well because if they do not change color over the years, then they are natural color.
So how do you know if jade helps your mental health and helps you to be more intuitive? When you are shopping for jade, are you attracted to certain jades due to the color? That means the qi energy related to the colors that also related to the body meridians and what will be helpful to you. For example, green color is the classic, related to liver meridian for health and wellness of body mind and spirit. This is good qi energy for everyone, and the dark or light green that appeals to you is the "yin or yang" helpful to you. White jade is related to the lung meridian, "hong" reddish-orange related to the heart meridian. Yellow related to the spleen meridian. Black deep deep green related to kidney meridian. If you keep returning to look at a certain jade, and maybe even drool when you look at it, that is a good indication it is the right jade for you.
And if you have a collection of jade bangles, pendants, as your life changes every day, you can also change your jade to help with balance of body, mind and spirit. Taking the time to "feel" the qi energy in your jade, and in you, helps become become more intuitive, not just about jade, but about your life.
Jade is beautiful and wonderful to wear. It's not just a "luxury". It's a helpful part of your life. Investing in jade is investing in yourself.
