Think about one of the main things we humans do with gems: we cut, polish, and facet them. It is through this process that they can best hold and reflect light. Angled just so, a clear enough gem becomes brilliant. Each facet shows a different face of the gem, yet each face is but an expression of the connected whole.

We often experience ourselves in parts: our mind does one thing, and our body another. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Our wisdom tells us, "don't," but our emotions get the better of us and we do. At times, these facets operate in seemingly opposite directions, yet they are each but an expression of our totality.

If only we were able to better connect up the knowledge, wisdom, and experience of ALL our parts! Then we, too, would shine like brilliant gems. This is where the gem essences can help. They allow each of these aspects to speak more clearly to the others, breaking down walls and filling gaps between the various bodies.

SLOGAN: "All I am is in harmony with my physical body."

INDICATING PHRASES:
I wish I lived only in the non-physical world.
I live for my spiritual life.
I often don't notice how my body feels.

KEYWORDS: physical, body, grounded, practical, impractical, spacy, down-to-earth, sensual, appetite, sensory, disconnected, material

This gem essence supports integration of the physical body. The energies of the other essences can target this aspect more efficiently when used in conjunction with Tanzanite essence.

Joining the physical and non-physical domains is a worthy goal. Bringing spiritual, emotional, mental energies into the physical body means more closely living one's philosophy and beliefs. It also means grounding spiritual understanding into practical use.

For example, if the project focuses on getting more rest, Tanzanite would be appropriate if the difficulty stems from disharmony of the physical body or with the physical world. At times, disharmony comes from believing physical life to be filled with nothing but trauma and yearning for a spiritual existence instead. Used with a single essence like Marigold ("I experience the joy of life in the physical body") or a blend like WWES's Security would be appropriate.

In contrast, Tourmaline helps with integration with the emotional body. As opposed to Tanzanite, this essence would be more called for if the difficulty stems from emotional upset or unconscious feelings preventing quiet or sleep.

Editor's note: the text above is excerpted from The Encyclopedia of Vibrational Essences, by Deborah Bier, M.Ed (see here for ordering information) and from FlowerBase, a computerized essence repertory which includes information from Living Essences, Whole Energy Essences, English Herbs, Dr. Bach Today, and other companies. This is FlowerBases's description of this essence from one maker. A useful exercise would be to look at Tanzanite essences made by other companies and compare their descriptions. Are they the same? And if not, can you find the common threads which run through them?
