Jet

Jet can be effectively incorporated into daily life through various practices. For meditation, holding a piece of Jet or placing it at your feet enhances grounding and protective energies, helping to quiet the mind and create a safe energetic space for introspection. Wearing Jet as jewelry, particularly close to the skin as a necklace or bracelet, ensures continuous absorption of negative energies and provides ongoing psychic protection throughout the day. Carrying a tumbled stone in your pocket or purse serves as a personal energetic shield, especially in crowded or energetically draining environments. Within the home, placing Jet near entrances or in areas prone to stagnant energy, like a dark corner, can ward off negativity and absorb undesirable vibes. It is also beneficial near your bed for relief from nightmares, or in an office space to protect against energy vampirism and promote mental clarity.

Jet, being a soft, organic material, requires gentle care. Due to its porous nature and ability to absorb negative energy, regular cleansing is crucial. Safe cleansing methods include smudging with sage or palo santo, burying it in earth or brown rice for a few hours (or overnight) to allow it to release absorbed energies, or placing it on a Selenite charging plate. Jet is generally safe for brief rinsing under cool, running water, however, prolonged immersion or hot water should be avoided as it can dull its polish or potentially damage its structure due to its porous nature. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Direct, prolonged sunlight can also fade Jet's color and make it brittle, so charge it under moonlight, especially during a full moon, or simply allow it to rest in a dark, quiet place. Always handle Jet with care to prevent scratches.
