This gem stone is a stone of self realization helping you to better understand yourself, your ideas and emotions. It is a wonderful aid in regards to any type of analytical thinking.
Attunes the physical to the higher realms. Aligns all chakras, creating a clear channel for the nurturing and creative energy of this sacred stone.

Those seeking a profound healing of the spirit and soul should wear turquoise.

Turquoise helps to ground the wandering wayward spirit, while keeping their connection to the infinite open. Many people who have a lot of energy avoid "grounding stones" because they think it will "clip their wings". But Turquoise will allow that energy path to remain open. In fact, some Native cultures held the belief that by wearing it the human mind becomes one with the universe.
Turquoise helps us communicate clearly what we want, and to then be able to communicate our desires to others in a way they can understand.

Kumi:
I cook food, exclusive gourmet food and homie food, make jewels, gal gang chain kinds and sacred metaphysical powahful stuff, and arrange flowers copying my grandma and my mummy who are the ikebana teachers and.. I meditate. and shake what my mama got me on the dance floor like there is no tomorrow! :D ENJOY YOUR LIFE TO ITS FULLEST!! IT'S TRUTHFULLY YOURS ONLY!!!
MY URL:www.soulmanifest.net
Embrace elements of LIFE:
both my past grandmother and my mother are ikebana teachers. I am trying to inherit my Japanese art and custom.. :)
I am a passionate individual who enjoys dancing with the rhythm of my own heart beat. The sound revitalizes and empowers me providing me a realization for my aliveness, appreciating all the senses that I have to feel and live in the given moment of time that we call LIFE.
Since I became aware of my personal progression, I have been learning how to express my personal identity thru many mediums that I find useful and attractive, and sharing my manifestation with others as to leave signatures of my existence in this world.
I believe in human honesty, compassion, creativity, patience and our ability to create (and take actions) for the better cause of this world. By staying true to who we are by always staying tuned with our inner self thru physical and spiritual activities (such as running, yoga, biking, dance and meditation) and listening to intuitions, and using creative minds to produce some actions that reflect true and passionate desires, I believe that the energy that is produced is magnificent and could share its positive energy (inspiration) with others.
I do not take my life for granted.
Every morning when I walk out of the house and see the sky and feel the air and leaves on the trees, I remind myself that the day that is given to me is a gift, and I shall live it to the fullest by not letting my weakness drain my actions and emotions, but staying strong, positive and happy and share compassionate, considerate, respectful and positive thoughts and actions with others that I encounter throughout the day.
I am a big believer of taking proactive actions and be practical with the beliefs and philosophies that *help us* define our identities. Without actions taken, one can not claim herself to be whatever her words may help her define herself. I believe in God. If it is God that produced the universe, God=Universe, and as we live in this planet earth, we are a part entity of this universe, we are soul particles of the divine.
I feel that without respecting the mother nature, one can not ripen as a human being, because I believe it is the universe's energy system (cause and effect, whether universal or behavioural) that helps me gain intuitions, will and desires that lead me to take some actions that eventually shape my destiny.
Everything we need is found in our mother nature, and it is the universe that has been providing all we need for us to breath. And it is the art/self manifestation that feeds our souls (inspirations)and the divine, so I feel the great necessity for us to keep producing our and new art for our souls! :)
So I try to live life by respecting the environment and mother nature, praise the beauty of mother nature, create something from what's given to us and share with others, and always be gentle and proactive about protecting our HOME. :)
I try to have positive and pure intentions for all my actions. I believe in the vibration enclosed in our thoughts, emotions and actions. If we can change the state of water sitting in a glass with one breath, and see it move gracefully dancing in rhythm, would you believe in the power of vibration we have within and create with our chosen energy??
:)
Okay, enough of talk. Thank you for reading.
God bless you!
Have a powerful and blessed day.
Don't let outside of you change you negatively, but stay strong, cherish what's given to you, count your blessings, and do know that your chosen emotion can make someone's life today..
Love & light..
Kumi
Talk to me in silence..thru music, body movements,
