Twinn Swan

Aquamarine, which means water of the sea, takes its name from Latin. The stone is primarily associated with the bridge between the throat and heart chakras, encouraging the individual to speak up and say what is concealed within the depths of the heart. By creating a bridge between the heart and the throat, the stone assists a person in communicating their highest and most heartfelt truth.

This process is not always soothing in the conventional sense. True emotional healing, as aquamarine teaches, begins with discomfort: the vulnerability of speaking one’s truth, the pain of releasing old wounds, or the humility of admitting when we’ve been wrong. Aquamarine supports this journey by offering a sense of safety and acceptance, encouraging us to move through emotional turbulence rather than around it. Its connection to the throat chakra is not just about communication with others, but first and foremost, honest dialogue with oneself.

Emotional Baggage

One of the reasons why a person may be drawn to this stone is to overcome the blockages in the emotional body, allowing one to speak clearly and calmly without anger and avarice. Aquamarine, since it is associated with the water element, is the stone of release, cleansing and washing away.

Aquamarine may, in some cases, even provide the clarity to express one’s inner knowing, by enhancing our ability to tap into our intuitive abilities. Due to its blue colouring, it is a bridge to communication with the primordial ocean, both within the self and in the world.

It is excellent for working with deeper emotions of grief, as it assists one in fully releasing one’s old and outdated attachments. Aquamarine helps balance one’s energy especially when one has been the recipient of excessive anger or fear. It assists one in clearing patterns caused by past emotional, physical or verbal abuse. It is an excellent stone for children who have been through traumatic situations and have disconnected from their empathetic abilities.

It helps one to free oneself of outdated attachments to old patterns of being as well as stagnant relationships that are clearly ‘going nowhere’. It is especially advised to be worn by those who are surrounded by people who keep emotional scorecards or grudges and simply refuse to let go of the past. On a generational or ancestral level, aquamarine can also be seen as a stone that helps break cycles of emotional repression or inherited trauma.

The deeply cleansing energy of Aquamarine can assist one in rapidly moving through transition and change, removing resistance. It is an excellent ally when one’s internal and external baggage has become too heavy. Ultimately, its role is to help a person to release attachment to clutter: be it physical, emotional or mental, allowing the individual, at long last, to invite a new current into their lives.
