Turquoise
The various shades and hues of the blue-greens of turquoise is calming, balances mood swings, and is considered a master healer. Turquoise has been revered for hundreds of years to alleviate exhaustion, depression, and panic attacks, increases accepting and forgiving the self, lifts dreary feelings, renews vitality, enhances communication between the spiritual and physical worlds, and is a stone of truth and wholeness. Turquoise is a throat chakra stone and also may assist you in speaking your truth.
Turquoise has been one of the crystals I’ve been connecting with as I work through bringing old traumas and wounds to the surface to be released and healed. I find it has helped me in particular with supporting me accepting my shadow parts where these old things are stored, like boxes in a closet, and easing some of the exhaustion and depression that comes along with healing and growth. Turquoise also assists me when I feel like I have wandered off my path and am working on realigning myself with my deepest truth. When I find I am holding back on saying something, I find that’s when I tend to experience a bit of a sore throat, showing me exactly where I need to focus some thought and action, and recognize a need to fully and wholly speak my truth. I also find the colors mesmerizing, calming, and relaxing, and enjoy bringing in the colors and energy of turquoise into my home and personal spaces.
