A necklace of Green Jade crystal spheres is one of the mineral kingdom’s most essential therapeutic supports for physical health. The way that Green Jade provides this support is unique. By balancing two fundamental forces within our supraphysical and physical bodies, Green Jade acts as a broad-spectrum tonic for our vital force. The results are greater strength, longevity, and access to our individual ancestral wisdom.
In gemological terms, nephrite Green Jade is one of the “toughest” gemstones on the planet. Its mineral matrix gives this gem exceptionally high tensile strength and makes it extremely resistant to fracturing. This physical strength echoes the energetic strength it offers to the human body.
The story of Green Jade spans thousands of years. For millennia, the ancients used Jade necklaces as tools to enhance well-being. Emperors, scholars, warriors, artisans, merchants, and spiritual seekers all valued its qualities. Then and now, Green Jade has been associated with wealth, abundance, protection, longevity, and strength.
Two Primal Forces
Today we understand Green Jade’s properties through its effects on the fundamental forces that create, form, and maintain our physical and supraphysical bodies. Their health and functioning is an expression of these two primal forces and of the balance, or lack thereof, between them.
Asian cultures have referred to these fundamental forces as yin and yang. In this paradigm, the human body is a dynamic communion of yin energies (earth, female, contracting) and yang energies (heaven, male, expanding).
The modern Western view of these forces is influenced by science’s understanding of vibrational waves, energy fields, vortexes, and vectors of energy movement. In Western terminology, these forces can be described as the positive and negative poles, or “spins,” of the particles and fields that are the building blocks of our physical reality. Centrifugal spins are expanding and outward-moving; centripetal spins are contracting and inward-moving.
It is at this foundational level—of the yin and yang, positive and negative, centripetal and centrifugal forces—that Green Jade works.
The Bedrock of Health
The experience of healing—as well as strength, vitality, and longevity—relies on our ability to balance these two forces within our supraphysical and physical bodies. Maintaining this balance is the bedrock of health.
While other therapy methods can address specific frequencies and dynamics of the body, Green Jade works on the very fabric of our vital force. By accessing energies that are fundamental to the existence of the human body, Green Jade can act as an energetic and intentional support to the healing of many conditions.
Supporting Strength and Longevity
In a perfectly healthy adulthood, you will have reached the pinnacle of the building up, or yin, phase of youth and are now maintaining a homeostasis, or balance, with the forces of dissolution.
As we age, this balance—and our ability to maintain it—decreases. Rather than an alert and responsive homeostasis, the strength of the two forces tends to diverge, and they lose their natural harmony. This also happens when we experience ill health or injury. Some aspects of our energetic makeup become more yin, or contracted, and others become more yang, or expanded—but both tend to become more depleted. Typical signs of aging reflect this imbalance. For example, an excess of the contracting force may lead to conditions like edema or the growth of masses. An excess of the expanding force may manifest as tightness, dryness, and rigidity. A deficiency of either force may result in fatigue and hormonal imbalance.
When these two energies are not in harmony within your body and being, then you have a hard time healing or making changes. If something knocks you down, you have a hard time getting back up. You have a hard time getting inspired to do things or having the energy to do them.
Green Jade strengthens—or, in Chinese Medicine terms, tonifies—the activities of both forces and helps correct any deficiencies or excesses. Green Jade tonifies these fundamental forces in every cell, organ, and system, and the body as a whole. As these forces come into greater balance, order, and harmony, the result is an overall increase in strength and vitality.
When you wear Green Jade, you may feel stronger and more centered in a way you may have not felt before. The activation of yin, or earth energy, will help you feel more grounded, while the activation of yang, or heaven energy, will give you greater access to the expansive energy descending from “the heavens.” You will naturally feel more resilient and at home within yourself.
Longevity requires this fundamental property of resiliency, as well as our ability to create, restore, and maintain the balance of these foundational forces for the longest period possible. Asian cultures have long recognized Green Jade’s ability to help slow the aging process by strongly supporting and maintaining this balance.
Ancestral Wisdom
One of Green Jade’s more mysterious properties is its ability to support the best expression of our DNA. This happens through the gemstone’s effect on the supraphysical body.
The supraphysical body is like an energetic blueprint, or matrix, for the physical body. It surrounds, defines, and supports every part of the body—from our DNA to our cells, tissues, organs, systems, and body as a whole. Green Jade’s exceptionally strong crystalline matrix has an affinity with the matrix of the supraphysical body.
Like all parts of our body, our DNA’s health and structure is supported and maintained by vortexes of yin and yang energy in the supraphysical field. When Green Jade tonifies and strengthens these supraphysical fields, it bolsters the processes that protect and preserve the integrity of our DNA.
Our DNA, of course, carries the blueprints we inherit from our family and ancestors, including personality traits and the many ways their life experiences have marked and molded them. Yet our DNA also carries more than the physical coding we’ve inherited from previous generations. Embedded in our DNA are the strengths and experiences we’ve gathered from our soul’s journey through time, including our soul’s intended purpose. As we incarnate, a marriage occurs between the inherited genetic material from our family tree and the blueprints we have carried from our lifetimes of spiritual adventures. These physical and energetic patterns combine to create the physical DNA and supraphysical codes that shape our current physical body.
Green Jade preserves the soul’s mission and ancestral wisdom carried in our blueprint by vitalizing the forces that continually repair, maintain, and replicate these codes in our cells. This not only helps strengthen and preserve our physical bodies, it can bring forward and highlight our soul’s purpose. At the same time, it helps supply the strength we need to fulfill it.
No thought or conscious decision is required to activate this effect. When you wear Green Jade, you are better able to use your history, both physical and spiritual, as another resource. It is available to you at a fundamental level, even if you are not consciously aware of it. The more clearly you can access this information, the clearer, more purposeful, righteous, uplifting, and of greater spiritual service your actions can be.
This is what makes Green Jade such a powerful and essential tool for health and well-being. When you are able to activate the energies of the earth and the heavens, as well as the strength and wisdom of your ancestors and your own past experiences, then your body has more resources to heal itself. You have all the resources you need to find greater health, greater balance, and a greater sense of clarity, destiny, and direction.
Craving the Good
Green Jade’s strengthening and balancing of the body’s fundamental energy fields has another interesting side effect. Namely, you will tend to reject the actions, substances, and experiences that would harm your health and disrupt your purpose for incarnating in this body. This rejection happens both consciously and subconsciously, but it primarily occurs at a subconscious level.
If you have known that certain behaviors, foods, or experiences are not good for you—and yet you are struggling to reject them from your life—then Green Jade may help. Over time, Green Jade will strengthen your desire for only positive, healthy experiences. This growing pull and attraction to what supports your health and longevity can allow any negative tendencies or craving to naturally fall away.
This effect may be responsible for Jade’s reputation as attracting abundance, good luck, and prosperity, as well as health. When both our conscious and subconscious actions are focused on healthy choices, the tendency to manifest positive change in our lives is naturally greatly enhanced.
The Body’s Crystalline Structures
Green Jade has an especially noticeable effect on strengthening the fascia, muscles, tendons, joints, and skin—i.e., parts of the body that have crystalline structures.
Enhancing the Effects through Movement
When wearing Green Jade, you can strongly enhance its strengthening and balancing effects through physical movement. Especially effective are gentle, natural, circular motions that move the limbs out away from your body and in toward your center.
