Healing Crystals: Pseudoscience Or The Real Deal?

Crystals are highly ordered ionic solids and they can have interesting properties. Of those, many people believe that crystals have healing properties of sorts. While this may be a pseudoscience there is a lot of truth behind it.

First off, I can totally get why anyone would completely dismiss any possibility of a stone helping them. As far as healing styles, crystals are regarded as holistic medicine. The environment we live in can greatly alter our well being. This can be seen in changes within our daily life or even historically with the process of how our species evolved to be modern man (and woman).

All crystals have their very own vibration frequency and energy, similar to everything in our universe. The properties like their chemical makeup, hardness and shape, for example, focus the energies of crystals, and the color is key to the healing. Basic physics tells us that everything in the universe has energy. Systematically, this energy follows a pattern, but life is attuned to chaos and the patterns become disrupted. Crystals are the purest forms of these patterns.

People often see crystals as these magical objects that have energy, but they don’t recall that everything in the universe has its own energy. Crystals simply take the energy around us and refocus it into specific patterns that have tendencies to be beneficial for most people. They restructure the preexisting energetic environment by using subtle energies. They create transformative rhythm to bring balance back.

Patterns are extremely important. Nature tends to be cyclical. Once it finds the right pattern it’ll stick to it and build us from there. Crystals are active participants in nature, even if it is the inorganic part. Nature has an endless exploration of possibilities created within the patterns that work in order to balance.

Whether or not some of us want to believe that crystals have healing properties,

there are a lot of people out there that do. Come to think of it, religion is often considered a pseudoscience by many scientists because the facts behind it are not rock-solid, but the effects of a belief or faith in something more cannot be denied. Call it a placebo effect or call it the real deal. We’re all searching for balance in this world regardless.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
