Loneliness of Spiritual Awakening A personal story

Turquoise

Feel its Calming and Cleansing Power Soothe Your Soul

Turquoise, connected to the life-giving element of water, reflects the shimmering and vibrant blue of the shallow coral seas. Turquoise evokes a calming mood and rejuvenating energy that promotes healing. In the same way that water inspires tranquillity and peace, Turquoise helps you design a space in your life that protects and nurtures. It is associated with the Heart Chakra, which allows you to open yourself to both love and compassion.

Turquoise has been revered by many ancient cultures for, not only its beauty, but the powers it was believed to hold. Native American medicine men used Turquoise as part of their healing rituals. The Ancient Egyptians and Aztecs thought it served the person wearing it by making them less vulnerable, acting as a personal shield. In battles, it was common for warriors to carry Turquoise for its protective qualities.

Turquoise, a master healer, is considered a “highly programmable stone” which means that it will respond to the healing intentions you set for it. This can open up your perception and make you more receptive to recognising your individual needs. By harnessing the power of Turquoise, it will help you focus and determine your healing journey, responding to your focused intentions.

The reason Turquoise is such a powerful healer is that it combines two powers. Firstly, its association with water cleanses the mind, body and spirit of negative energies. Secondly, cleansing creates space for you to receive its healing benefits. This is why Turquoise is such an all-in-one support system because these two powers work together in constant balance, uplifting and reviving you and keeping you connected with positive, loving feelings.

Ways to Use Turquoise

Wearing Turquoise, especially around the neck because of its connection with the Heart Chakra, is a powerful way to channel the power of your stone, opening you to receiving love and positivity.

Meditating with Turquoise can help carry you to that space of tranquillity and peacefulness, allowing you to connect with your inner self and discover what your body, mind, and spirit is asking for.

How to Look After Your Crystal

The best way to maintain and maximise the powers of your crystal is to recharge it under the light of a full moon. First, wash it under cool running water and place it under the moonlight for a night. This will restore all of its natural energy.

You could also try smudging your Turquoise with Sage. Burn a smudge stick and allow the crystal to be bathed in the smoke, while you visualise any negative energies disappearing.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or undernourished, Turquoise can be the healing stone that brings you back to yourself, facilitating a deeper understanding of what you need in your life right now. Its cleansing power will encourage new energies to flow and remind you of the power of positivity and connection with self.

The Health Benefits of Turquoise

If you struggle with a regular self-care routine, Turquoise can be your daily reminder to take time out for yourself and reconnect with your needs and desires.

If you want to open your heart to love, its connection with the Heart Chakra can make you feel more receptive to positive emotional experiences. On the other hand, if you are dealing with emotional pain, Turquoise can teach you to remember the power of compassion.

If you are feeling depressed, Turquoise can remind us of the healing benefits of positive thinking and action. It protects us and gives us the strength we need to overcome adversity, bringing us out of stagnation.
