Celebrating Jade

Posted on by rachaelathomasj

Maybe you know and maybe you don’t!

It is something that may be an eye-opener for many but it certainly promises to be a rewarding and interesting post!

How familiar are you with Jade?

Do you know it is a precious stone that emits positive energy and it is not something you buy for yourself but it is something you should be gifted with? Well this is true and really worth taking note of!

Jade is a precious stone indeed and it is made from nephrite and jadeite. Jadeite is in itself a combination of sodium- and aluminium-rich pyroxene.

More so Jade exists in six different colours: green,lavender, red, yellow, white and black. Green is the most traditional and expensive color for jade. I personally love it. The green color varies from pale or yellowish green to Granny Smith apple green, its best. The energy from the person gifting it to you and you being the recipient is purely positive. Giving positive energy to someone means that positive energy comes back to you!

Based on this we can surely agree that jade can be an ideal gift for so many reasons:

  1. It gives positive energy and lot and lots of it too!

  2. It has a lot of value.

  3. It shows appreciation and love.

  4. It is a symbol of purity.

  5. It shows that you are worth something unique and something that costs as much as jade costs.

  6. It makes a statement.

  7. It means if someone decides to steal it they create added negative energy for themself.

Therefore if you see this precious stone being used in any particular setting be grateful for it. Whether it is used in spiritual practice (Jade murtis, jade chairs), given as a housewarming present (jade elephants, jade dog), given as a personal gift (like earrings, necklaces or rings) or anything of the sort, be eternally thankful for its use. Know that it is a good sign and enjoy the positive energy that comes with it. Receive it with love and if you are giving it to someone give it with love.

As my Uncle Steve would surely agree when you have a woman named Jade in your life she is a blessing and certainly a gift from God!

Datta devotees and the followers of His Holiness Param Pujya Sri Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda are always in search of valuable reading material that provide insight into His life, His music, His teachings and His projects. More so they are always in search of ways that His Holiness, our beloved Appaji shows us to be good and to do good. When an opportunity to get information like this presents itself it is one we must fully embrace and savour.

As such the focus of this post is to celebrate the relaunch of Trinidad Hanuman Datta Mala. It is timely, relevant and a wealth of information that is truly ours for the taking.
