Hi, I’m Maxine, the designer and creator behind MaxineFaye – Handcrafted Jewellery & Beadwork. I create award winning, one of a kind beaded jewellery which encourage you to express your unique personality.
The combinations of colour, texture and the “feel” of the beads are what inspire my original designs and as a beaded jewellery artisan I love working with colour and light. The unique shapes and colour combinations of lamp-work and art-glass, the precision and sparkle of Swarovski crystal and the organic feel of semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, and metals are all considered in my designs.
Read about me to find out how I can help, what services I offer, and my mission statement.
I invite you to visit my online store to see my currently available designs.

Turquoise
The metaphysical properties of this colour

In this series of posts on the properties of colour I have included an overview of the metaphysical properties and information on some colours and the chakras that they relate to. I have also included some lessons and affirmations.
Later, in a more in-depth series, I will build on the properties of these colours and how you can use them to your benefit.
Having studied the Aura Soma system of Colour Therapy to the Advanced Level I find the natural benefits of vibrations from colour intriguing and I’m always trying to find out more information on this subject.

Turquoise
Connecting to the Aquarian principles, the new age, Turquoise has a trans-dimensional quality. It is able to communicate, reaching many people simultaneously (silicon chip).
Turquoise communicates of the heart / feelings creatively – poetry / dance / acting / etc, using the whole of emotional expression.
This colour is insightful, idealistic, liberal, flexible, receptive. It projects a calm cool exterior, likes its own company and is self reliant with a humanitarian independence.
Turquoise is wonderful at teaching, public speaking and using new technologies. There is a spontaneity and playfulness associated with this colour. A freedom loving side which trusts the inner teacher / intuition.
The Ananda Khanda (bliss centre), sits in Turquoise, as do attitudinal healing, the collective mind and cohesion. There is a lack of Ego under this colour.

The Lesson for Turquoise is
"Difficulty communicating feelings".
Speaking one’s truth, and creative blocks can be other lessons under this colour.
There is a need to find peace in the heart, to say what is felt. To be flexible. There can be difficulty reaching out, This colour can be delusional, deceptive, cool or distant and can be associated with the control and misuse of power.
Turquoise can create and live in a fantasy world full of emotional drama and mental turmoil. This colour can be unconscious on all levels (shut off from the light), not aware or connected.
The need for Turquoise is
"to express their feelings".
An affirmation suitable for this colour is
"I am an individual".
Of course, this won’t happen just by saying it once off. Each and every time you feel unworthy or stuck in the past, just focus on the affirmation of your choice.
Other affirmations that would be suitable for this colour are “I accept myself as I am” and “There is time for me”
This colour connects with
Atlantis, Aztecs, Ancient civilizations, Angels, UFO’s, Interdimentional energies.
Chakra and Physical areas associated with Turquoise are the New Age Heart – higher right side.
Physical areas under Turquoise are the Thymus – immune system, immuno-deficient conditions, lungs and respiratory organs, shoulders (upper), back.
Crystals / Gems
That may provide assistance with these issues
Crystals / gems (in their turquoise form) are Turquoise, Silicon Glass, Amazonite, Chrysocolla, Aquamarine, Some of the green/blue gems may be suitable here.
You may find wearing or using these or other Turquoise items provides assistance when dealing with any of this colours lessons or if you wish to draw on its benefits.

Clothing is another easy way to benefit from the energy of colour. Turquoise isn’t your favourite colour? Use socks or underwear in this colour as a great way of reminding yourself that you are connected and have confidence – and no-one will know.
If that doesn’t suit you, how about turquoise or aqua sheets or throws with this colour in the pattern (or just a pillowcase) or bathe in bath-salts in this gorgeous colour.
Drink a Turquoise Daiquiri or similar (responsibly). Swim in the ocean. All these things will just hold your attention and remind you that you are on a journey to reconnect.
