Turquoise, guest blogger

, Right upfront I digress, rock loving oldie that i am, here's my not so humble opinion

In this post are several references to the power of turquoise  ...but in fact it is you, not the stone that contains the real, life, the real power is you.  It's good to have a lovely stone to help focus.

You can use any stone to focus your goals.  Stones sure are cool and they sure are pretty reminders, are they not?

Whether you lead with your head or your heart, the color turquoise speaks to both. By pairing these two powerhouses together, the color turquoise gives rise to healthy emotions. Color psychology suggests that turquoise both heals and controls our feelings. As a result, we gain emotional stability. However, excessive use of the color turquoise may precipitate emotional imbalance.

As tranquil as it is inviting, turquoise restores, warms, and soothes the soul. We can ascribe its peaceful presence to its blue undertones, its energizing spirit to its yellow elements, and its encouraging aspects to its green components. Together, these three hues make turquoise the uplifting and relaxing color that it is. To combat stress and fatigue, turn to the color turquoise. Its serene and sunny disposition won’t disappoint.

In the throes of a crisis, allow the color turquoise to talk you off the ledge. Turquoise helps us think clearly, making it the ideal color to have around when an emergency arises. Not only does it foster sound decision-making, but it also promotes structure. When we see the color turquoise, it makes us want to be more organized. It doesn’t demand that we get things in order. Instead, it merely suggests it.

Reigning in emotions is easier said than done. The color turquoise facilitates this process by calming the nervous system. When our nerves are at ease, it bodes well for stress-free living. What’s more, it boosts self-assurance, making us more confident in our daily choices. For public speakers, seeing the color turquoise can offer a wave of stillness. When giving a speech, the color turquoise reminds us to get out of our heads. This enables us to remain focused and levelheaded.

Turquoise makes us feel more in harmony with our intuition. As we develop a stronger bond with our sixth sense, spiritual growth follows.

Leaning on almost three quarters of a century, I have a few random memories of my early childhood, that I haven't written about yet. I have always loved stones, my pockets were always filled with rocks, much to the dismay of my Mother. My godmother/favorite Aunts always gave me tumbled stone jewelry. Nothing really fancy, just simple pieces. The stones I can remember were bloodstone, tiger's eye. red jasper. malachite,and turquoise. Tumbled stone pendants on simple chains, that came from a local shop. And I loved them, wore them and lost most of them. This is the same Aunt I have written about before. I spent time during every visit finding very small fossils in the  gravel border of the sidewalk which lead to her house, Made me feel like a scientist....fancy a 5 or6 year old scientist! 

I still have the turquoise and bloodstone necklaces. 

 

I digress, yet again. My 7th grade Earth Science teacher. liked to ramble sometimes, and one of his fave topics was that children possessed a curiosity would make them great scientists, but lost that curiosity as they aged. 

 

I even have a few of those tiny fossils in a small jar resting on the window sill.
