I would like you to have a transcendent experience. . .

Whether you call it turquoise or aqua or blue-green, it's a beautiful color.  And I'm going to invite you on a walk through my aqua love-garden.

First, here is some meanings attached to the color aqua, according to OldEarth.com.

The Meaning of Aqua: 
Aqua is a Feminine Color and is composed of Blue and Green. It can range from pale Turquoise to dark Teal. Aqua is an Earth color- rejeuvenation, releasing, play and receiving- with true North North-East as it's direction. Aqua moves in the mental body especially the will and thoughts, the reasoning of why we do what we do. It is excellent for workoholics who feel guilty no matter what they do. Aqua releases guilt and frees the ability to receive with out pretense. Aqua is refreshing and comforting. It is the Oil of the reasoning and the will of reasoning—why we choose. Aqua wants to have a balance of giving and receiving, work and play, mine and yours. It is the best color when you need to find some play time and stop beating yourself up for not getting everything done.

The Aqua Personality:
Aqua people thrive on distractions. They like to be having playtime and not being blamed for anything, and can quickly become dejected and sad if the rain falls on their parade and, of course, it will be your fault. They can easily turn to self-martyrdom.

Wearing Aqua might be feeling like they just need some playtime and they are going to take it; or they may be feeling that no one ever let's them do anything and so they have the right to blame others for the slightest shadow in their day. Wear Aqua when you want to present a carefree appearance and remember, Aqua is needed by all! Decor with Aqua: Aqua in home decor or clothing is soothing and pampering. It will show relaxation energies and promote a feeling of calm regeneration and laughter. Great for bathrooms and garden rooms and even playful bedrooms, it stimulates sharing, giving and playful or soothing touch as in loving or therapy and massage. It lightens the emotions with other colors calming the space. Aqua is light, restful, and freeing.

Now, I think you should listen to something chill. Perhaps Bombay Bicycle Club's "Luna," or, even better, M83's "We Own the Sky."
