The Crystal Path to Self Knowledge
TURQUOISE
Wholeness
In this image the rainbow snake, which represents all creation, contains within its coils the unity of the Universe, represented by Turquoise. The snake and the Universe that it contains are made up of tiny pieces of creation. This represents the necessity of all creation moving into harmony before wholeness can be achieved. The same is true on a personal level. All aspects of the self must be recognized and integrated before personal wholeness can be achieved. This integration and understanding are the realm of the Ally Turquoise.
This sky blue to green mineral combines Water, Wind, fire, and earth energies, therefore containing the power and unity of the Storm element. Turquoise has traditionally been a stone of vision, because of it’s incredible blue colour. The Sky is a male aspect of the Earth Mother. Those beings that inhabit the sky, such as Hawk and Eagle, have incredible powers of vision. Flying hundreds of feet in the air, they not only see the total picture of the landscape below them, but can also discern movements of the smallest mouse on the ground or the fish beneath the water.
Often Turquoise will contain Pyrite, thus combining the male sky energy with the male Earth aspect and the energy of the Sun. This sacred triad symbolizes the return of wisdom of the heavens to the Earth plane. Part of this wisdom is the ability to perceive disparate aspects of oneself, and to integrate those aspects into a whole picture of ones total being.
Turquoise symbolizes the marriage of the Earth and the Sky. Because it embodies the energies of the four elements, it represents the escape from the duality of the physical realm and the return to oneness and unity of the Great Spirit of the Universe. Turquoise calls you to remember that you contain within you all aspects of the Great Earth Mother and all of her moods, which take the earthly form of the elemental forces.
When you invoke the energy of Turquoise, you are asking to be shown the way to Oneness and Unity. By seeking out this path, you are fulfilling the need of the current age of growth on the Earth plane. The Age of light is a return to wholeness. Humanity long ago volunteered to be the vehicle through which Spirit could learn of the duality of the physical plane. We are now undertaking to reunite the dualism of Light and Dark, Male and Female, Body and Spirit. Turquoise shows us that one can exist in Unity bringing all polarities and dualism into balance.
THE MESSAGE:
When Turquoise appears as your Ally, it calls you to seek the unity within. What is the aspect of the situation that is most difficult for you? This may be the very aspect that you need to recognize in yourself before you understand how to release it from your experience. Every situation and experience that arises in your life is meant to bring you closer to a sense of wholeness and unity with the Universe. Each experience leads you to a new understanding of yourself and the talents, strengths and weaknesses that you have been given to complete your lifetime here.
Looking within your own heart, you will see that everything you are odds with in your environment is merely a reflection of an inner part of yourself that you have acknowledged and integrated. Turquoise is asking you to find that aspect of yourself with which you are having difficulty, and to accept and integrate it into your total self.
CHAKRA: throat through Soul Star
AFFIRMATION: I accept and integrate all aspects of my self.
