Black Jade is a kind of jadeite and is a powerful cleansing stone, that enhances the body's ability to filtrate and eliminate toxins and balance the fluids and water-salt/acid-alkaline ratios in the body. It is also thought to be useful in easing problems with the feet, legs, knees and hips.
Black Jade can absorb negative emotions and convert them. It enables the unconscious to acknowledge and release the painful memories that are at the basis of such experiences.
Black Jade provides the strength and courage required to evaluate one's own negativity and the cause of it, as well as to "confront the shadow self." By recognizing one's emotional maturity, behaviour patterns, ego, and other elements of self, they may be confronted and mended, allowing for growth and loving integration of all aspects of self.
This is a "dream stone," relaxing the soul and eliminating bad thoughts and anger. It helps to balance the personality by combining the mind and body in order to generate thoughts and make activities less difficult and easier to complete.
It can also assist in cherishing one's ideals and desires, facilitating the ambition and building of those thoughts into physical reality. Jade provides confidence and self-assuredness, self-reliance and self-sufficiency.
Black Jade stimulates the Root Chakra. The Base, or Root Chakra, is located at the base of the spine and controls the energy for kinesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, low enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. When its spiritual energies are out of balance, you will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant.
Jade aids in the preservation of one's beliefs and desires, as well as the achievement of one's goals and the transformation of one's ideas into actual reality. Jade instils self-assurance, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency in its wearer.
