Just like us, rocks and minerals are in a constant state of change. Life gives us both expected and unexpected pressure. Are you able to utilize these stressors to transform yourself?

What gems are you creating in your life? your community? your family?

Jade is considered a healing power stone in Asian medicine. 15-75 miles below the earths surface in zones where the tectonic plates collide, extreme temperatures of 480–1110°F and extreme pressures of 87,000–507,500 pounds per square inch metamorphic rock, dolomite, transforms. Suffice it to say, power comes out of enduring extreme situations. 

At our lineage ceremony marking the completion of our Chinese Medicine program at NUNM, each student was gifted a jade circle.  We completed a very intense cycle; we were forever changed.  I wrapped my stone with green threads and continue to wear it to this day, two decades later. This power stone embodies all the teachings, the struggles, the lesson, the ease, the delight. It is a treasure.


Next time you are feeling pressured.  Take a few deep breaths. 

Then ask yourself:  how can this experience transform me, transmute me, shift me, change me?
