Aventurine Turtle

Description

Aventurine Turtle

Aventurine energy feels uncomplicated and fresh and can be useful for washing the aura at times of mental or emotional stress when we need a stone to hold in our hand whilst connecting with a clearer path.  Aventurine is good to have around when making decisions as it reminds us to connect to the heart and the idea that it does not matter which road we take because it will always be the right one. It is a good companion for the pioneering spirit, someone who is pushing themselves to places they have never been before. A good all-around healing stone.

Turtles have been and are held sacred in many traditions. In the Far East, the turtle shell is seen as a symbol of heaven while the square underside is symbolic of Mother Earth. Through other traditions such as the Native American turtle is a symbol of Mother Earth and our ability to find happiness on Mother Earth.

The turtle is a slow-moving creature on land and is never in a rush. All you need to do is find the pace that is appropriate. Like the knight of pentacles in a Tarot deck turtle energy is steady, earthy, and always accomplishes what they set out to do. If you align with the energy of a turtle you are assured of completion. It teaches you to go with the flow and be happy with the pace that your life is taking. Do not try to push it faster than is natural or you may reach your destination too early and feel you missed something along the way. Turtle teaches us to try and enjoy the journey as much as the final achievement. To focus too much on the end of something means you will often find yourself dreaming of the future, which will leave you ungrounded and unhappy. So have around you the symbol of the turtle when you wish to remain grounded and take joy in what you have been given.
