Tanzanite: A Stone for Self-Work

Hello and welcome back to The Schapera Show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. This is the part of the show where I, Vivien, talk about crystals and talk to crystals.

Today we’re talking to Tanzanite. Tanzanite comes from only one location, and as its name suggests, that is Tanzania. Most of us know Tanzanite as an extraordinarily beautiful blue stone that comes at an extraordinarily high price. Personally, I think Tanzanite is best as a piece of jewelry — either a ring, or a pendant — because, even though I do have a beautiful Tanzanite crystal, I don’t ever use it in a healing session. That’s because Tanzanite has such a particular effect on one’s being — it is for self-work.

What could this mean? It means that there is development and education which we can derive by working with others, like teachers, therapists, energy healers, and ministers, and there is development and education which depends on us doing our own work, for ourselves. When I was a Taekwondo instructor, back in the day, I noticed this dynamic particularly strongly. In class, one could learn from the teachers and peers. But by practicing at home, on one’s own, one could learn in a completely different and also necessary way. I saw this as similar to climbing a ladder. Climbing a ladder requires maintaining a balance of left and right, alternately allowing each side to support the ascent. So it was with learning Taekwondo — improving by learning in class, and then supporting that with improving by learning at home. And so it is with Tanzanite. Tanzanite inspires us to look inside ourselves for answers, to look inside ourselves for change, and then encourages us to actualize these changes even though they are usually hard.

I have a ring that my mother gave me. The main stone was green, surrounded by little emeralds and diamonds. When I took the ring to be valued, the embarrassed jeweler had to tell me that the green stone was glass. Once he told me, I remembered that my mother had actually informed me of this, but I had forgotten. Anyway, considering I’m always buying crystals at the gems shows, I thought that I may as well seek out a gem stone for my ring. The only candidate that matched the size of the green glass was a Tanzanite gem, and that ring with the Tanzanite gem is the only piece of Tanzanite that I have at home. I decided to put on the ring to see what would happen – whether I would get some ideas, experiences or feelings.

Crystal Healing Requires Brain Skills Too! Natural Meditation | Best Crystals for Anxiety

When I train people in Crystal and Energy Healing, I also have to give them training in various brain skills.  As we advance in healing work, we need more and more skills in modulating our brain wave states, as well as the ability to monitor and change the brain wave states of our clients.

One of the first brain skills that must be learned, is how to shift the brain waves from beta to alpha. Alpha is the brain wave state of meditation, so therefore, it is useful for Healers to learn how to meditate.

I think it is unfortunate that meditation is depicted as so difficult. I’m not convinced that meditation practices, according to set rules, for long periods of time, with a totally “empty mind” goal, are the only “correct” versions of meditation.

The only “formal” meditations that I have done were very short periods of sitting on the floor and closing my eyes before Yoga and Taekwondo classes. I have never trained in a specific meditation technique like Zen or Transcendental Meditation, because I was put off by what I consider to be an overly demanding standard. Or rather, to be brutally honest, I can simply admit that I don’t like sitting still for long periods of time – it hurts!

Since I have never trained in meditation, I could say that I do not meditate.  Except … since I was a child, I have been subject to a strange occurrence: I naturally fall into a kind of trance that my husband, Neil, calls a “fugue state.” It is very odd and works like this — after my morning shower, if I sit down, like on the edge of the bed, I just fall into this “state” that usually lasts for about 20 minutes. It is as if the rest of the world disappears and it feels like I’m floating. It took me a very long time to click that this is natural meditation.

After recent reflection on my morning fugue, I began to track its effects and found that on the days that I allowed myself to sit, and thereby fall into this trance, I was in a MUCH better mood! I felt right and the day felt right. Not only that, my brain felt clearer and fresher, my creativity was enhanced and I enjoyed a sense of flow. As a consequence I decided to entirely change my routine.

Guest Post: Introverts Can Utilize These Self-Care Strategies

As an introvert, balancing social engagement with personal time is vital for your well-being, but it can be challenging to maintain. This article, courtesy of Crystal Healing Techniques, explores strategies tailored to your unique needs, helping you maintain emotional and mental health.

Embrace Solitude to Recharge

One of the most important aspects of self-care for introverts is recognizing the need for solitude. It’s essential to dedicate regular periods of time for yourself to unwind and recharge. Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, or simply sitting in silence, finding what truly helps you reset is key. This time alone is not a luxury but a necessity, enabling you to return to your daily activities refreshed and more focused.

Continue Your Education

Don’t let introversion or social anxiety hold you back from achieving your dreams. For example, by earning a computer science degree, you can build your skills in IT, programming, and computer science theory without needing to navigate traditional classroom settings. If you’re looking for a way to advance your career while managing your comfort levels, this may help.

Set Clear Personal Boundaries

Understanding and communicating your limits with others is vital. Clearly define how much social interaction is too much and learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting these boundaries helps prevent burnout and ensures that you have enough energy for both work and personal commitments. Remember, expressing your needs doesn’t make you difficult; it makes you self-aware.

Guest Post: Nature Therapy & Recovery From Substance Abuse

 Nature Therapy & Recovery From Substance Abuse

The natural world has immense power to heal people who are pursuing sobriety from substance abuse. From lowering stress to building self-efficacy, exposure to nature can help create lasting change in your life. The following article explores the techniques, science, and numerous benefits of nature therapy for people battling addiction.



What Is Nature Therapy?

Nature therapy, also known as ecotherapy or green therapy, is defined as the practice of spending time in nature as a way to improve your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The basic idea behind nature therapy is that humans evolved in the natural world and being in nature reminds us of our place in the ecosystem, bringing a sense of calm and belonging to our lives. Nature therapy may encompass various activities like hiking, camping, gardening, forest bathing, and animal-assisted therapies. The overall goal of green therapy is to immerse your senses in the natural world to reduce stress.

Different Types of Nature Therapy


There are many ways to practice nature therapy. Below are some of the most common:

• hiking in natural settings like forests, mountains, or beaches
• disconnecting from technology entirely and camping in the wilderness
• horticultural therapy, also known as gardening or taking care of houseplants
• animal-assisted therapy that may involve equine therapy or spending time with your dog or cat
• forest bathing, which involves utilizing all five senses in nature
• earthing or grounding, which involves sitting or walking barefoot on the earth
• dark nature activities that take place at night, such as stargazing

While there are many types of therapy involving nature, not all of them will be right for your unique needs. Try to find activities you enjoy that allow immersion in nature, which will help elicit the maximum benefit.


Benefits of Nature Therapy for Drug and Alcohol Addiction

People recovering from substance use disorders can benefit greatly from nature therapy. One of the most prominent benefits is how nature therapy can contribute to the reduction of stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues that arise or contribute to addiction. Ecotherapy can also promote mindfulness and living in the present moment, as well as boost physical health through outdoor activities. There’s also evidence that being in nature decreases negative thought patterns while increasing self-esteem and emotional well-being. Overall, nature therapy can help you gain mental and physical strength during the addiction recovery process.

Understanding the Sensual Connection with Crystals

Vivien is interviewed by Candia Raquel of candiaraquel.com

Episode #102 The Sensual Magic Of Crystals — Vivien Schapera

Watch on YouTube here

In this episode, Vivian’s insights into integrating the Alexander Technique with crystal healing offer a unique perspective on how we can enhance our sensory experiences of delight and overall well-being. By embracing the principles of awareness, inhibition, and receptivity, we can achieve a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us through sensual pleasure.

Discovering the Intersection of Alexander Technique and Crystal Healing

Candia: Welcome, Vivian! It’s such a pleasure to have you here.

Vivian: Thank you, Candia. I’m honored to be here and excited to share my journey and insights.

Candia: I’m really curious about how you combined Alexander Technique with crystal healing. It seems like quite a unique fusion. Could you share a bit about your background and how these two practices came together for you?

Vivian: Certainly! My journey with crystals began when I was just 10 years old. During a family visit to Namibia, I encountered beautiful pink rose quartz rocks. This experience was incredibly sensual and left a lasting impression on me. I was transfixed by the energy and beauty of these crystals.

On the other hand, I discovered the Alexander Technique much later, around age 20. As a child, I struggled with poor posture, which led to a lot of discomfort and tension in my body. I was seeking a solution to my posture issues and came across the Alexander Technique, which focuses on body alignment and movement.

Interestingly, the Alexander Technique and crystals both found their way into my life through serendipitous moments. Crystals captivated me from a young age, while the Alexander Technique presented itself as the answer I had been searching for to alleviate my posture problems.
