Wear Your Jade for World Peace Days
December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2008

Jade stone has energy that is very compatible with the body energy, or qi. Many people wear jade for health and healing, and use jade as a "wellness tool". We are all a combination of body, mind and spirit, and natural jade helps to balance the body, mind and spirit.

World violence has been increasing at an alarming rate. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto is the most recent act of violence. The negative energy of violence is growing throughout the world. It often seems that there is little we can do personally to decrease the violence, but there is much we can to increase the energy of peace in the world. Peace starts with each one of us and is demonstrated in how we live our personal lives. The energy we put out becomes part of the Earth's energy and is transmitted to other beings we come in contact with. When we react to a situation in anger, we escalate the energy of anger. Examples of peaceful energy exchanges:

• When you get cut off in traffic, instead of cursing, gesturing and expressing anger, instead forgive and bless the person and send wishes for their safe driving
• If someone is angry with you, don't respond with anger. Take a deep breath and respond with compassion, try to see where they are coming from and their point of view
• If someone has done wrong to you, don't hold a grudge. Forgive them.

Jade is peace, love and harmony. On December 31, 2007 and January 1, 2008, wear your jade for peace. When you look at your jade during the day, say a blessing for peace. If others comment on your jade, tell them about wearing jade for peace these two days. In fact, start wearing your jade for peace now as you read this. It's always time for more peaceful energy.

Tonglen Compassion Meditation

What kind of jade to wear for peace? Any jade you own. If you wear jade as healing tools, wear your Buddha or Guan Yin (Buddha of Compassion) pendants. Light color is more "yin" and peaceful. I am wearing an oval jade bangle, the most soft translucent "flower" white jade with soft "hong" veins. White energy for peace, soft hong for dealing with adversity.
