Jupiter is known as the king of the planets for two main reasons. First, it is believed to be the oldest planet in the Solar System, having formed just one million years after the Sun and around 50 million years before Earth. Second, it’s the largest planet in the Solar System, with a mass almost two and a half times greater than all the other planets combined, and just under one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Its diameter is about eleven times that of Earth.

Jupiter is the third brightest natural object in Earth’s night sky, after the Moon and Venus, and has been observed since prehistoric times. In both ancient Greek and Roman civilisations, the king of the planets was naturally named after the chief god of each divine pantheon: Zeus for the Greeks and Jupiter for the Romans.

One of Jupiter’s most well-known features is the Great Red Spot, a persistent storm that rotates counter-clockwise. The Great Red Spot is larger than Earth

The Element of Wood
In Taoist inner cultivation, Jupiter carries the resonance of the Wood element. This is the green energy of growth, clear direction, and kindness. Traditionally, the Wood element is linked with the liver.

The liver and its partner organ, the gallbladder, both receive nourishment from Jupiter’s green energy, especially at night during certain time windows.

The prime window for harmonising the Wood energy in our liver is between 1 and 3am each night. Our gallbladder is harmonised between 11pm and 1am, which is why going to sleep before 11pm is so important. When we allow our ‘Wood organs’ the space to recover during the night, our whole system rests and processes emotions more effectively, while the body detoxes itself and renews the blood ready for the next day.

The Golden Hours between 11pm and 3am are considered especially supportive for refining our inner field: aligning our direction, softening emotional tension, and returning to a quieter strength.

Wood Energy
We are all made up of five elements — Water, Fire, Wood, Metal and Earth — and each one represents a particular type of energy (chi). Wood energy is spring energy. This type of chi carries a strong urge to develop, to grow, and to discover.

Each individual has their own life plan. Just as a tree grows from a seed into a seedling, our own life plan longs to express itself more fully with each passing day. Although our Divine Plan is invisible and intangible, it is the deepest driving force within our lives. The impulse to live out our unique blueprint arises from our Wood energy, and this is supported by the planet Jupiter.

Wood energy is like the energy of a tiger: quick, wild, powerful, and beautiful. However, when a tiger is tamed, it can become either dangerous (frustrated and angry) or depressed (as a result of its blocked life force).

Blocked Wood Chi
This is true for us too. When things don’t work out and the flow of life becomes blocked, emotions such as frustration, anger, and rage can arise. When we find ourselves in situations where we’re obliged to do many things we don’t feel aligned with, while what we truly wish to do, say, or express isn’t supported by our environment, our life energy becomes frustrated and eventually blocked.

Our inspiration can no longer flow.

When tiredness isn’t caused by a lack of energy, but instead by inspiration that cannot move freely, this can, over time, lead to chronic fatigue. Stagnant Wood energy can even lead to depression — just like in the case of a tamed tiger.

Freeing blocked Wood Chi
The Essence Vibration of Jupiter was given for several reasons — and when you’re called to this vibration, you will no doubt recognise below what it can do for you.

Essentially, the Essence Vibration of Jupiter helps you to free yourself from blocked Wood chi, so you can once again align with your life plan.

• Shame,
• Guilt,
• Jealousy,
• Envy,
• Hatred,
• Anger,
• Rage,
• Resentment,

you may encounter all of these as they rise to the surface, while Jupiter’s vibration burns away your blockages. Please don’t be afraid of it. Simply witness and acknowledge your shadow side as you’re being released from it.

Allow your driving force, your Wood chi, to be unlocked, so it can move towards its ultimate purpose in your life: guiding you to live your Divine Plan.

Allow the Jupiter vibration to balance your liver and gallbladder energies, so you can enter a balanced state of being:

• Modest
• Kind
• Forgiving
• Cheerful
• Light-hearted
• Decisive
• Creative
• Inspired

The Mantra
While taking the Essence Vibration of Jupiter, you are invited to speak a mantra.

First, connect with the energy of the planet itself. You can picture Jupiter as a fresh green ball of light in the sky. If you would like to be more precise, imagine it far above the right parietal lobe of your skull — the area on the upper-right side of your brain.

Next, speak the following mantra:

I call upon planet Jupiter
To free myself from my shadow

I call upon planet Jupiter
To help me surrender into my true Life-Plan

I call upon planet Jupiter
For my inspiration to flow

I wish you a gentle and freeing journey with the Essence Vibration of Jupiter.

With all my love,
Harriët
