Blue

Open your mind and float down stream on a cool, refreshing bed of blue that is well known for it's qualities of cleansing, cooling and relaxation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the colour blue is correlated to the kidney and if you are weak in kidney energy (qi or chi) it is suggested to use blue to strengthen it. It is mentally calming and encourages tranquility and wisdom. It is purported to aid in the healing process (especially wounds and burns) and relieve pain. Spacious like the sea and sky it soothes the sensitive and enhances clarity and intuition. The deeper the blue the more relaxing the effects. Nothing clears your mind and relaxes your shoulders like standing on a vista overlooking a huge swatch of countryside below and nothing but the big blue sky in front of you, stretching outwards and onward to forever.

Blue also encourages hope and symbolizes faith, peace, trust, flexibility, acceptance, truth and co-operation. So if you need to unwind, relax, feel at peace and reassured, bring some soothing blue into your life. 

Turquoise

Turquoise is a blue green like that of a Caribbean ocean that makes us feel cooled, refreshed and invigorated all at the same time. It is good for relieving mental strain and feeling washed out or drained and is said to strengthen the thymus gland, thyroid and lungs thereby strengthening the immune system. It elevates us and encourages us to reawaken our minds, body and creativity making us ready to communicate and start anew!
