Meaning and Uses of Turquoise
Turquoise has a calming, grounding energy that makes it a great stone for when you are feeling overwhelmed, or to aid in meditation. It is said to connect heaven and earth, and help us connect to the spiritual world. Turquoise can strengthen our connection to intuition, and it is also helpful for protection and purification. Turquoise has a strong connection to the throat chakra, and helps to enhance communication and expression. It also aligns all of the chakras, and is often used for healing purposes. Turquoise can also help us become more open to love and forgiveness, and release patterns of self-sabotage. It's very balancing for the emotions, helping us to feel more calm and at ease.
Activate Your Meditation Area
Because turquoise balances the emotions, it's a great stone to meditate with. In addition to having a calming energy, it also helps us to stay grounded on earth during spiritual practices. Try placing a piece of turquoise in the part of your home where you like to meditate, and connect to the stone each day as you begin your practice.
Activate Your New Beginnings Area
The New Beginnings area, called Zhen in Chinese, is one of the sections of the feng shui bagua map that is related to the wood element. You might want to to activate this area if you want support in starting a new project. Placing blue and green stones in this area, such as turquoise, is one way to activate this area. Often when we are starting something new, we also have to release any old patterns that might be getting in the way, so turquoise's ability to remove negativity and blocks can be especially supportive in this area.
