Quan Yin Symbols and Statues

Quan Yin Statue

Quan Yin (AKA Kwan Yin or Kuan Yin), the goddess of compassion, is one of the most popular deities in all of the Asian countries. Statues of Quan Yin are often on display in homes, as well as temples in the region, as the statues are said to disperse negative energies, especially after disruption or quarrels have occurred.

Quan Yin is said to be a Boddhisattva (also spelled bodhisattva), a person who has reached self realization, and earned the right to enter Nirvana. Instead of entering Nirvana, Quan Yin is said to have remained on Earth, to help others reach self-realization. Quan Yin is particularly useful for those relying on the elements, such as farmers and fishermen.

The Quan Yin statue pictured is made from a resin material, measures 9.5cm in height and weighs 185g.

Does Jade need cleansing from human vibrational concerns ?

Jade is the only stone that does not need cleansing from human concerns and human energy fields. It is almost as if it is a gift from the heavens. Almost anything can take place around Jade and it remains clear, gently transmitting it's soothing and calming vibrations. It will however need cleansing from man made electromagnetic concerns (as will all crystals and gems) unless it is cleansed or kept with a Ch'i Energy disc.
