Matthew McConaughey & Dzi

He recently came to Europe & gave an interview for this French gossip magazine.I tore the page so that i could scan the picture but i 've been looking everywhere for it....will post it when i do.
Anyway, it showed Matthew wearing a Dzi on his wrist with a black cord & the bead was touching his pulse on the inner wrist !It looked like an 9 eyed Dzi...
Since then i've been wearing mine too : )

The Stone from Heaven

If you'd like to know more about jade,here's a book recommended to me by my teacher:

The Stone of Heaven: the Secret History of Imperial Green Jade by Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott Clark.

The Stone from Heaven - Nephrite Jade

Nephrite or "true" jade has influenced civilisations in Asia,South America and the Pacific since beginning of history.Wherever jade has occurred people have found value in it as a tool,a healing stone and as a connection to the gods.The hardness and toughness of jade was first exploited for tools over 5000 years ago.

Jade conjures the magic of legend,especially in China where Nephrite jade was known as the stone of heaven.Ancient Chinese myths told of jade being plucked from the rainbow and cast down to the earth.With such importance attached to it,the Chinese have traditionally valued jade above other wordly possessions.

(from Jade Buddha Brochure)


In 2009 those born in the year of Tiger,Rabbit,Dragon & Boar will especially benefit from wearing jade.

Nephrite jade is the best kind,the greener the better.

Dzi, Divine Gemstone of Tibet

I must confess i had a really hard time believing that minerals,stones could have any effect.
That is until i went to my first FS course in 2005.I wore a 9 eyed dzi bought from WOFS boutique when i came back,to test it...
Let me just say that many good things happened,not only to me but to some of my friends & people I've met who told me their stories.
So true or not i though I'll share with you these links,better to test it yourself : )
