ATTRIBUTES
Jet is actually formed from fossilized wood but looks like coal. It has
been used as a talisman since Stone Age times. Jet draws out negative energy
and alleviates unreasonable fears. Worn around the neck. It is a stone of
protection. It guards against violence and illness and provides protection
during spiritual journeying. It was used in olden times to protect from
"entitles of darkness."
It is said that those who are attracted to this stone are "old souls"
who have a long experience of being incarnated on the earth.
Jet can also be used to open to psychic experiences and to assist the quest
for spiritual enlightenment.
Traditionally, Jet jewelry was said to become part of the body of the wearer.
This suggests that Jet jewelry that is inherited or purchased should be
cleansed with particular care. Jet used in healing should be thoroughly
cleansed after each application.
Jet is said to stabilize finances and to protect businesses. It can be placed
in a cash box or the wealth corner of the house (far left rear corner) or
business premises.
Psychologically, Jet promotes taking control of life. It balances mood swings
and alleviates depression, bringing stability and balance.
Jet cleanses the base chakra* and stimulates the rise of the kundalini*
force. Placed at the chest, it directs the kundalini force toward the crown
chakra.
HEALING
Jet treats migraines, epilepsy, and colds. It diminishes glandular and lymphatic
swellings and heals stomach pain. It was traditionally used for menstrual
cramps.
POSITION
Anywhere. As jewelry, Jet should be set in silver.
