What is African Jade Good For?
All crystals have healing properties that explain what the crystal is "good for." In the case of African Jade, there are three healing properties that can help you decide if African Jade is the crystal you should use in your healing practice.
Healing Property 1: Soothing
African Jade is known for nurturing. It is believed that this crystal can make you feel comfortable and soothe you when you are angry, sad, or upset. It is also great for people who experience anxiety and stress.
If you generally tend to be anxious, or if you're entering a stressful period of your life, it could be beneficial to wear African Jade crystal jewelry to help calm and soothe you when you start to feel those feelings. African Jade is also believed to be powerful for people who are grieving and could use some soothing to help them through their mourning period.
Healing Property 2: Uplifting
This stone is also celebrated for its ability to uplift. For some people, it's easy to turn around a bad mood and go about their day. For others, it can be almost impossible to resolve a bad mood.
For people who experience their feelings deeply, it is believed that African Jade can help shorten the amount of time negative moods last. If you simply feel like you could use some extra positive energy in your day, African Jade would also be a good crystal to incorporate into your practice.
Healing Property 3: Harmony to the Mind, Body, and Spirit
Finally, African Jade crystals are believed to bring harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. When you're mind, body, and spirit aren't synced up, you might feel uncertain of who you are or struggle to do basic tasks. Things you once found easy might suddenly feel like the hardest thing you could ever do.
African Jade is revered for bringing your entire person back into harmony. It is believed that this stone can restore order and leave you feel certain in who you are. When your mind, body, and spirit are in sync, you can do anything you put your mind to.
It is these associations that explain what the crystal is "good for." Crystal healing is all about setting intentions for what you hope to gain from your practice. If the above healing properties align with your intention, it could be a sign that African Jade is the right crystal for you.
What Chakra is African Jade Aligned With?
African Jade is primarily aligned with the heart chakra. The heart chakra, when out of alignment, can cause feelings of loneliness or isolation. African Jade can help realign the heart chakra and get you back into a comfortable rhythm with those you love.
Which Zodiac Should Wear African Jade Crystal Jewelry?
The healing properties associated with African Jade can help inform which zodiac signs might benefit from wearing it over others. In this case, it is recommended that a Taurus wear African Jade Crystal Jewelry.
Taureans tend to be very cautious and can be stubborn at time. Their caution tends to come from a fear of getting hurt or making the wrong decisions. It is believed that African Jade can help soothe those fears and bring harmony to their entire person so they can feel confident that every part of them feels good about the decisions they're making.
How to Cleanse African Jade Crystals
Cleansing your new element is essential upon its arrival. Through the process of packaging and shipping, your element could have accumulated negative energy which you can get rid of with one of the following methods:
- Use sage smoke. Sage is an herb commonly used by crystal healers to cleanse crystals. You could either burn a bundle of sage or use incense for this method. Put your crystal element through the smoke to dissipate any negative energy. If you do choose to use this method, make sure you're burning your sage safely!
- Rinse with water. African Jade is a water-safe crystal which means you can use water for cleansing. You could either use a stream or the tap for this method. Hold your crystal element under your running water source of choice for a few minutes. Make sure your African Jade is completely dry before you begin wearing it.
- Bury it in soil. You can also return your crystal to the earth to cleanse it. It is believed that soil is able to absorb negative energy. You could either bury your African Jade outside or in a potted plant in your home. Leave it there for about 24-hours and rinse off any dirt before you begin wearing it.
- Charge it with moonlight. Finally, you can charge your crystal with moonlight to get rid of negative energy. Find a spot in your home that has access to the moon and leave it there overnight. The best time to do this is during a full moon when the moon is most powerful.
One important note is to periodically cleanse your crystal when you’ve been wearing it for a while. If you notice your crystal is starting to get cloudy or you happen to know there’s a full moon coming up, it can be helpful to repeat any of these methods to recharge your element with positive energy.
Using African Jade for Crystal Healing
After you’ve gone through any of the above methods and gotten rid of any negative energies, it’s time to start using your African Jade.
The first step to using any crystal is to keep an open mind about its potential abilities to heal. Having any skepticism about its powers can affect its ability to work for you.
Next, you will want to set an intention for your element. The intention should be specific and related to the properties mentioned earlier in this post. Intentions help your element empower you in your daily life.
For African Jade, you might consider setting an intention of broadening your circle and meeting new friends that have diverse interests. If you are feeling like it's time to start pursuing your dreams, you might set an intention to aid you with your efforts and help you achieve success.
After deciding what you want your intention to be, hold your element in your hands and speak that intention into it. As you wear it, keep your intention in mind and make decisions that align with your intention.
