Turquoise

Turquoise is a stone of purification. It protects against negative energies and pollution in the atmosphere. Turquoise unites and balances earth and sky which represent the yin and yang in one’s personality. It aligns all the chakras with the subtle bodies and attunes the physical with the spiritual.  Turquoise instills inner calm while aiding in communication and solving problems involving emotional issues. It is a healer of the spirit bringing one a sense of serenity as they traverse changes and adjust to new situations. Turquoise inspires creativity and heightens intuition. It is very effective for grounding and is often used during deep meditation to maintain connection with the conscious mind while protecting and allowing the unconscious to “know” it is safe to flow into the desired state of “no mind”.

In ancient times turquoise was used to insure and protect against accidents. It was believed that adorning the mount of a warrior with turquoise would keep it sure footed during battle.
