The dragon  represents power and protection. These magical beings represented all that the universe has to offer. There is dragon energy to cover all four elements, all four directions, however dragons are impartial, they bring potential, opportunity and new ideas to any situation. They are linked with yang, the masculine principle of heat, light, and action. Chinese dragons are mainly considered as protectors that keep people from harm, jealousy and envy. 

Black Jade stimulates the Root Chakra -  and controls the energy for kinaesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, and,  low enthusiasm When its spiritual energies are out of balance, you will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant.When the Base Chakra is in balance, the physical body regains its strength and stamina, and the spiritual energy is rekindled in the form of security and sense of one's own power. It often leads to independence and spontaneous leadership. 

Black jade is also said to be beneficial for the mind and spirit. It helps promote calmness and clarity and reduces stress and anxiety. When you wear this amulet you ward of negative energy and block the evil eye.

 Black Jade is the stone of independent living in spite of physical limitations. It inspires you not to give up on dreams because they physically take longer to manifest - than you originally thought.  Black Jade assists in cherishing one's ideals and desires, facilitating the ambition and building of those thoughts into physical reality. Black Jade provides confidence and self-assuredness, self-reliance and self-sufficiency.

By identifying one's own emotional maturity, behaviour patterns, ego, etc., they can be faced and remedied, providing growth and loving integration of all aspects of self.
