the way i see it is that crystals do have a vibrational energy..thats how quartz crystals keep time in a watch..and how computers are able to synchronize there functions..its all based on the steady vibration that they emit..

some crystals vibrate at higher levels..and some at lower..depending on their mineral make up..this WILL have an effect on a body or a room..its just like having a fire in a house..the fire is making a vibration so intense that it changes the vibration(temperature) of the whole house..now crystals have a more steady and refine vibration because of their crystalline structure..a nice quartz has perfect crystalline structures so it vibrates very cleanly

our bodies have a vibration to them as well..actually many...one of them is our breathing..the steady in and out is one of our slowest vibrations..then there is our heart..then there is also the vibration that is created as the air flows in and out of our bodies..and the same for the blood pumping through us...

then our brains vibrate based on chemical reactions that are happening constantly...so by using crystals you can almost tune your body with them..creating harmonic resonances..especially combined with sounds or music..that is how shamans use drums and rattles to induce altered states..

now when using crystals to modify your own vibration...it can then cause chemical reactions or changes to take place..because just like chemical reactions cause vibrations..vibrations can then cause or change chemical reactions..

if we look at this scientifically we can see how stones and crystals can cause changes in the body..which then effects our minds...and the chemical and biological functions of our body

i mean..you can squeeze a quartz crystal to a certain point and get an electric charge from it...its how microphones work...the sound vibration squeezes the crystal just enough to get a certain charge out of it..that is then sent and amplified through the speakers..

if a quartz crystal is sensitive enough to create electric charges from sound...its got to make you wonder what our body's vibration does to it..

i feel the crystal bible and love is in the earth..is a good place to start learning about crystals..because when i first got attracted to them..i wasnt sensitive enough to understand any of their uses..i couldnt intuit what they did....but after working with them and reading about them you start to pick it up...

and the way i feel those books help..is that they teach you how your own mind programs what the crystal does for you..its like a focus point for thoughts to anchor to..when setting up your intention..and programming the crystal...you are actually programming yourself to think a certain way when you touch or see or think about the crystal...and in that way..its almost like hypnosis..you are training yourself to think a certain way..thus..changing your mood or thought patterns..and can sometimes help you enter into altered states

when SWIM had a bit of an OD with pharmahuasca..he just grabbed a crystal to help anchor himself..and just by holding it..it gave him strength and something real to hold onto..
