Blue Sapphire is the gemstone bearer of the blue color ray. Its effects are a combination
of those of the blue ray and of the energy of Sapphire's mineral composition, corundum.
Blue Sapphire nourishes the mind and puts thoughts in order and perspective. The blue ray
it carries disintegrates disharmony in the physical head, thereby clearing the pathways
for healing energies to enliven all the functions centered there. Blue Sapphire can help you gain self-mastery¾that is, mastery of your mind, emotions, and physical body. To understand how Blue Sapphire does this, it is necessary to understand something of the nature of the mind. The mind is complex and comprised of many levels or areas. Thoughts are formed at the highest level of the mind, in the aspect closest to your purely spiritual aspect. They are generated continually; indeed, a new thought is born every moment. As Soul, you have the power to discriminate and choose which thoughts you wish to have. This is an important choice, because your thoughts feed and otherwise profoundly affect your emotions and physical body. Consequently, learning mental discrimination is essential. This discrimination is the ability to choose which thoughts you would like to entertain, express, and empower. It is also the ability to choose which thoughts you would like to ignore and allow to flow out into the ethers so that they never manifest or affect anything. Blue Sapphire can teach mental discrimination. Blue Sapphire's first step is to bring some orderliness to your mind and thoughts. When your thoughts are in order, your thinking becomes clearer and memory improves. This allows you to give more attention to genuinely important thoughts. The number of useless thoughts we have during the day is astounding; Sapphire promotes useful thoughts and useful thinking. When thoughts are in order, it is also easier to distinguish between true and untrue thoughts, complete and incomplete thoughts, and balanced and imbalanced thoughts - both in oneself and in others. When your thoughts are in order and you are thinking clearly, your life also falls into order. This is because the state of your mind is always reflected in your emotional and physical arenas. For example, your thoughts, attitudes, and concepts shape your physical body and all within it. Indeed, one of your mind's functions is to control your emotional and physical aspects. When the mind is more orderly, this orderliness is reflected in these aspects. Conversely, when there is a dysfunction in the mind, inevitably a dysfunction will occur somewhere in the emotions or physical body. Negative and non-constructive thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices act like garbage in our systems. They offer no upliftment, and their impulses contribute to a downward spiral of health. When someone allows mental garbage to flow through his mind, it often collects in the head, causing the physical brain and all the head's functions to become malnourished, strained, and stressed. If, for example, the eyesight, hearing, or pituitary gland is malfunctioning in some way, it probably means that mental "garbage" has accumulated in the head. The blue ray carried by Blue Sapphire is nourishment for the head and mind. It also disintegrates any negativity or disharmony¾in other words, garbage¾that has accumulated in the head. This is parallel to the way Emerald's green ray disintegrates physical-body disharmony. We have all heard that thoughts can cure. The key lies in being able to determine which thoughts will act as medicine for a certain condition and which ones will feed the condition with disharmonious energy. You must also know which thoughts you must generate to cancel out and stop the flow of disharmonious thoughts. And you must know which ones will resolve the condition and raise you to the next level of understanding or health. Blue Sapphire can open all these levels of understanding¾and this can cause fundamental changes, not only in your consciousness and attitudes, but also in your health. Your thoughts and concepts also strongly influence your emotions and emotional expressions, perhaps even more than they do your physical body. For example, if you think a certain situation will make you afraid, you will feel fear; or if it makes sense to your mind that a situation should make you feel loving, you will feel love. Consequently, when Sapphire puts the mind in order, the emotions naturally become more organized, more orderly, and more easily understood. It also becomes easier to express the emotions you want to express. The blue ray carried by Sapphire helps bring your attention to the mind. It enters your physical body through the throat chakra; then it rises and fills your head, nourishing the brain and the mind. The more nourishment it receives, the more your mind grows and expands in self-awareness. And the more expanded your mind becomes, the more nourishment it requires. Even the most brilliant mind needs to be fed or it will lose its vitality. Sapphire increases mental flexibility. In the process, it loosens concepts and attitudes that are hardened, crusty, and stone-like. Because they are so ingrained, such concepts can keep you stuck in a certain state of consciousness. When these concepts are made more flexible, change of any kind becomes less traumatic. |

| BLUE SAPPHIRE AS A SPIRITUAL TOOL | |||
|
One of the greatest obstacles to spiritual unfoldment and the attainment of
Self-consciousness is the inability to separate the mind from one's true identity. The
mind is so sophisticated that it creates its own intelligence. Sapphire helps make us
aware that this intelligence, this governing aspect of the mind¾with its glorious ability
to expand its consciousness and provide wondrous, life-altering experiences - is not the
true Self. Sapphire helps us learn that we are not our minds and that each of us is a pure
spiritual being. When the mind becomes more orderly through the use of Sapphire, doors
will open and opportunities will be presented. If taken, these opportunities will foster even more order and lead to experiences of greater spirituality in daily life. |

| TIME GUIDELINES | |||
|
How consistently you wear Blue Sapphire depends in part on your purpose for wearing it.
If you are using Blue Sapphire to remove disharmony in your head, to improve your eyesight
and hearing, or to resolve imbalances in the brain, it should be worn continually. This is
also true when you are using Sapphire to clear mental garbage. The process is comparable
to taking out the household garbage; it re-accumulates quickly and, if not removed, starts
to overflow. In this case, you'll make the most progress if you wear Sapphire without
interruption. If you are using Blue Sapphire simply to organize your mental processes, you can wear it for short periods without losing ground. The Sapphire will pick up its work and begin organizing your thoughts wherever it last left off. |

| AMOUNT TO WEAR | |||
|
The best way to wear Blue Sapphire is in a short necklace of 3-mm to 4-mm rounded
Sapphires weighing approximately 30 to 50 carats. A short necklace is one that lies close
to the throat. The blue ray enters your body through the throat chakra, and the Sapphire
energy rides on the blue ray. Such a necklace allows both the blue ray and the Sapphire
energy to enter your throat chakra easily and produce strong, immediate effects. This amount of Blue Sapphire actually provides more energy than is needed by your physical head, and the excess will flow out through your brow chakra. Whenever a color ray flows out through your brow, your attention flows with it. This encourages you to become aware of things beyond the physical arena. Thus, when your physical sight and hearing become clearer through the use of such a Sapphire necklace, so will your inner sight and hearing. Wearing a smaller amount of Sapphire - even one-and-a-half to two carats - will have some beneficial effects, but only if the Sapphire is properly combined in a necklace with other harmonious, supporting gemstones. Care must be taken not to wear too much Blue Sapphire, thinking that more is better. It is important to avoid wearing more than one solid necklace of Sapphire or a solid necklace that falls significantly below the throat chakra. Wearing Sapphires larger than five millimeters can also be detrimental. Relatively large amounts of Sapphire can sometimes have wonderful influences on the mind, but your body and emotions will resist the overly rapid changes the Sapphire initiates. This resistance will imbalance and scatter your mind and cause great mental confusion. Also, the more Blue Sapphire you wear, the more accumulated mental garbage will be stirred up. If more garbage is released into your system than the Sapphire or your body can handle, your body will become stressed and imbalanced in its efforts to metabolize this garbage. |

| THERAPEUTIC QUALITY | |||
|
Not all Blue Sapphire is pure enough to emanate the energy required to carry out Blue
Sapphire's therapeutic mission. Blue Sapphire that is itself filled with garbage - such
as inclusions, contaminants, and impurities - cannot possibly be expected to clear
impurities from the mind and head. Four basic factors determine Blue Sapphire quality: color, clarity, consistency, and a trait that can be called gem candescence. An accurate assessment of Blue Sapphire's color and clarity requires a microscope. Ideal Sapphire is a rich, true blue - neither too pale nor too indigo. Only a microscope, which allows you to see how light passes through the gemstone, can reveal Blue Sapphire's true color. A microscope also lets you see whether the gemstone contains even the slightest black tinge. This is essential, because any black coloration is a severe contaminant that nullifies all of Blue Sapphire's effects. Even a wisp of black renders Blue Sapphire non-therapeutic. Clarity is measured by the amount of inclusions within the gemstone. The greater its clarity, the more Blue Sapphire energy it can radiate. Common inclusions found in Blue Sapphire are cracks and impurities, such as rock matrix, white clouds, and a toxic yellow discoloration that renders the Sapphire non-therapeutic. Consistency is also an important characteristic of therapeutic Blue Sapphire. Inconsistency in the color, clarity, or size of spheres within a necklace is a distraction; the Blue Sapphire energy must first overcome the conflicting wave frequencies of this distraction before it can do its work. This is one reason why most Sapphire necklaces are not therapeutic or are much less therapeutic than their other quality parameters might indicate. The term gem candescence is derived from the word incandescence - with in referring to intensity and candescence referring to the flow and glow of light. It is an optical quality that not all Blue Sapphire possesses. Blue gem-candescence in Sapphire is an intense outpouring of the blue ray, making the Sapphire look like its own source of pure blue light. A sphere displaying gem candescence looks like a drop of liquid Blue Sapphire. Its liquid appearance is actually an energetic quality that allows the Sapphire energy to access the mind instantly. All other factors being equal, gem-candescent Blue Sapphire is many times more powerful than Blue Sapphire without gem candescence. |
