How to use Jade Bowls

QUESTION:

Hello -- I just received jadebowl01 (set of 2 jade bowls) and I’m not sure what to do with them.   I received them from my husband for my 65th birthday.  I tried to find them on your website to understand more about them.  Any information you can provide would be helpful.

Thank-you.

ANSWER:

Hello, first of all, Happy Birthday! Natural stone bowls can be used in many ways. If you do energy healing work, you can use them to energetically charge water to drink or food. You can also use them as "dream bowls" where you put in little pieces of paper listing what you want to manifest in life and place the bowls near your bedside when you sleep. You can also place small tumbled stones in the bowls and run your hands through for stress relief or for divination practices.

Some of the Properties of Jade: Jade is a dream crystal, aiding emotional release through dreams. Jade healing crystals can help you realize your full potential and attain purposeful goals. Jade also helps lift suppressed emotional issues and bring them to light for resolution. Jade is popular as a good luck and prosperity stone. Jade healing crystals open and balance the Heart Chakra.

Jade is found in many colors and in two forms: the rarer Jadeite and the more common Nephrite. Nephrite Jade ranges from medium to dark green with black inclusions. Nephrite Jade has been used for centuries for its classic beauty, and is mostly found in British Columbia, Canada.

If you don't do energy healing, then you can use them for display or place a white assortment of trinkets or even food items in the bowls. You can also place them in the appropriate corner of the house according to Feng Shui practices if you are familiar with Feng Shui.

I hope this gets some ideas going for your bowls!

Sincerely,

Sheila Satin

How to Choose Stones

Amethyst Tumbled Stones

Question: Hi, i have some doubts, like u have mentioned so many stones so how do i select one from these (is it like u have send the heart speaks and so u pick the stone )..  

Answer: Hi, yes, you can choose just one of the stones mentioned or try them all if you have the availability. It is not necessary to use them all at once or right away, just whenever you get a chance or happen to come by the particular crystal, you may want to try it out and see if it fits with your own energies. We also have an article on How to Choose Crystals on I Dig Crystals website.

How to Soften Leather Cords

3mm Leather Cord for Pendants

New leather cords may be stiff. A few ideas to soften your leather cord before wearing with your crystal healing pendant are as follow:

1. Flex the cord back and forth, slowly and smoothly with your fingers to loosen the fibers. This will take some time and you don't want to overdo it, which may risk the cord from cracking. But, this is the most affordable and least messy method.

2. Rub oil into the cord.

3. Leather softening applications, leather oil can be found at equestrian and saddle shops or a leather retail shop (also online). Follow directions on the bottle.

Cleaning Brass & Copper with Ketchup

 

An easy way to polish up your copper and brass jewelry is to use ketchup! Most of us have this tasty condiment in our kitchens, and now we have a handy standby for cleaning our tarnished jewelry, chains and metal wands.

Copper Healing Wand

Spread a layer of ketchup over your copper (take care not to spread on the stones or other metal parts) or brass with a cloth or brush (old toothbrushes work great). Leave for 3-5 minutes depending on how tarnished your piece is. Then, rinse under warm water and wipe clean with a dry cloth.
