updated crystal therapy
Why does crystal healing work?
Crystal healing and therapy have come under a lot of scrutiny lately. The conclusion of the scientific community is that it is pure quackery. However, millions of people who have tried it say that it works well for them.
The reason for this discrepancy is quite simple. To find out why crystal therapy doesn’t work when it doesn’t, only the pseudoscientific claims of quacks have been tested. When tested under other conditions, it has been shown to have a positive effect. This has been considered as a placebo effect.
To say that something is the result of the placebo effect or is psychosomatic does not make it any less real. Psychology is a real science. Conditions like depression and stigmas are real and have real physical effects and sometimes physical causes. So the fact that crystal therapy only works on a person’s psychology doesn’t make it any less real or useful in therapy.
Why Crystals?
Simply put, we humans like nice, shiny things. We respond to colors and the refraction of light. Even cats, birds and other animals respond to the sight of the play of light on the glass. It is natural that we love light and that we are fascinated by refractions.
Multicellular organisms also like heat. Different crystals reflect, channel and store heat differently.
We also know that an object related to a goal or objective is an excellent focus and visualization tool.
So we get a lot of positive things out of crystals: light play, color, heat channeling/reciprocation, and a focusing tool. This is all before we get into mystical properties.
mystical properties
Let’s be frank here. The scientific community’s conclusions about almost everything are based on the premise of a universe without an intelligent and stubborn Supreme Being (SWT). On the one hand, this is a good thing, as it avoids a kind of mystical coping when something is not easily understood. One cannot simply say that something happens because God (SWT) makes it so. One has to find out exactly what is going on through observation and experimentation.
Where this is great for most of the sciences, it’s not so great for psychology or anything controlled by the mind and/or soul. Most people on earth have some type of belief system. Even atheists have faith that their belief is true, that it is not based on any real physical evidence.
Since no one has been able to prove or disprove the existence of God (SWT) in a way that all of humanity has to undeniably accept, then we are left with two options: behave as if we are all atheists, and totally abandon any behavior that is based on in any type of concession for the existence of God (SWT); or go with what works for us as individuals, most of whom believe there is or at least can be a God (SWT).
If we believe that it exists or can exist, then there are many time-honored traditions of healing and therapy that we probably shouldn’t dismiss based on a non-theological premise. The techniques and motivations just need to be updated.
Pseudoscience vs. psychology
First of all, any scientific rationale that is inaccurate, based on misinformation, or just plain lies, must be removed from our field. Crystals do not produce more energy than any other stone. What they were is exposed to a lot of energy, which made them crystals and not just regular rocks. What we think of as regular rocks are amazing in their own right. Crystals are simply prettier to us.
So the updated crystal therapist must be a mineral therapist. They should explore how not only pretty crystals, but many types of minerals, affect the mood, mental and physical well-being of various people. A nice, heavy, rough piece of granite, or even a block of cement, can help a certain person focus on their goals and stay grounded better than any “lucky quartz.”
Some people may benefit more from playing with sand. Rock and sand gardens are known to be therapeutic. An exercise of burying and finding a sparkling crystal of your favorite color in a bucket of sand can help someone find solutions to difficult problems in their lives.
If someone has issues related to their confidence or body image, the feel of rough diamonds (please buy only non-conflict diamonds for this) against their skin could help them love themselves just the way they are and do only positive changes. diamonds
they are beautiful even in industrial grades. They may not be the most sought after for display, but they still have a shine to them and are just as hardy. This definitely sends a positive message to the mind.
unintended benefits
As conductors of soul energy, the benefits of crystals are well known. When I lend my strength to another, they are a good tool to keep me focused on a particular goal and to filter subconscious information to the conscious mind.
Yes, this is based on a theological assumption. No, it is not science. It really doesn’t need to be.
…but is it pure faith? Well, it’s not really that either. It is based on actual physical tests. I myself have benefited from healing with crystals and other minerals. Others I know have, too. However, no one that I know of has done well with just crystals or rocks. In all the cases I know of, the crystals were the tools of direction, focus and enhancement of the positivity of the situation, not the cause of the healing themselves.
The field is wide open. All one needs to do is get out and walk down the path. Walk honestly and you will find that your practice will be much more satisfying and much more effective.
