      The reiki healing shit pisses me off because those people act like they're pompous bigfucks and don't know what they're doing, they're doing something that is so very primally wrong and they talk like they're helping people, keep your hands off of people unless you're putting something else like a tool, on someone, you damn well know when you're around someone or touch them you can feel a certain sensory flavor text to them that Is not in every other person. That would be that energy shit people that don't know half of the story talk about. Reiki healing is bullshit, but the properties of certain things aren't. You know that if you have a material object that you specifically touch and keep with you and only you touch that thing for long enough some of your properties your 'vibes' will get left in that thing? That's what every part of this stuff is SUPPOSED to be based on, but you know people are going to try meddle with forces that they cannot.

      despite the fact youll think im crazy after a psycadelic trip i was able to feel the energy from crystals as well as quite accurately identify their uses and describe them.
      Then finding on crystal sites that i was exactly right each time.
      Its hard to believe but if you opened up enough i believe anyone could feel it.
      Oh yeah and i thought all this stuff was bs up until 19
      as a child i was obsessed with crystals but stopped due to social pressures to be normal i guess
      turns out i was smarter as a child and intuitevely knew they were good despite not conciously feeling the energy.
      Just because many cant see something doesnt mean its not real....
      you dont see the signals going to your phones and computers but you see the image or text on screen.....
      crystals are gaining popularity because people are waking up trust me it starts off as "these look nice" and turns into feeling their pressence and seeing mental results from it.
      I dont have enough experience to say how powerful it is just that they have energy that can be felt.

      Imo a believer is scarier because even if they charge less for a session, they will actively work to spread their ideology to new people, especially on the internet where they can reach people internationally. A scammer would be more likely to find people who already believe in healing crystals and take advantage of them.

      Until you have an understanding witihn the field of quantum mechanics, you cannot have a valid expression of relative information. research the piezoelectric effect to understand how crystals operate as transductors and much more. My question to those who have lower states of consciousness and arent capable of comprehending the quantum field yet. If crystal are not energetic, why do radios, computers, cell phones, watches and many other electronic devices use QUARTZ crystals piezoelectrically as transducers? id suggest reading more before putting others down due to incomprehension of complex physics.

It is a great way for kids (in my humble opinion) to get the kids more familair in a debating style.

    The placebo effect reminds me of a story from Untold Stories of the ER. A patient came in with abdominal pain, and the ER doc diagnosed it as some ailment that would need to be treated at the hospital. The patient believed that her ailment was caused by a curse and refused treatment until she could be sure that the curse was lifted; she believed that as long as the curse was in effect, any medical treatment would fail. The ER doc ultimately called in a witch doctor of the patient’s religion so that an curse-breaking ritual could be formed. After the ritual, the patient accepted medical treatment. The woman more than likely wasn’t cursed, but since she believed she was, the witch doctor became an important part of her treatment plan.

      I couldn't get too deep into the video. I can beleive that some people believe in healing crystals but definitely not 1 in 4. Most conservatives view it as hippy nonsense, the deeply religious view it as witch craft, and most people view it as a placebo effect at best and an outright scam at worst. I live in an area full of hippies and hipsters near a large liberal arts school, and there are crystal shops around and crystal healing places, but I'd be shocked if even 1 in 10 people here believe in it. I know 2 people who believe in it and 1 is genuinely and deeply mentally ill, and nearly everyone else thinks it's new age nonsense.

No previous college education. I think I found my new career! Why be a masseuse and risk injury to my hands when I can hover them over my patients for the same pay! Less insurance! Less schooling! I will be sure to change my name to a Eastern-sounding appropriation, so that my future patients don't find all my debunking statements on social media! I'm all in!

      This happens if you're not taking care of yourself energetically, mentally and physically.
      The same thing applies for the medical practitioner who does not care for their bodies needs. Many doctors die of stress, are overworked, don't eat right and have mental health issues. Some have radiation exposure and other hazardous complications from the use of tools from their work. We don't hear about that or it's shut down in this same manner pretty quickly.
      Eg wearing masks for too long and it's breathing related issues.
      Everything has their uses and place, however application and a clear understanding of how to use them is very important. No matter which route you take there are side effects. (Internal scaring from fibroid operation, getting paralyzed after spin surgery, memory loss after being put to sleep with anesthesia ) the list goes on and on. .

    As a physics student who has a deep background in condensed matter physics and materials science, I always wonder how people can think that these minerals have magical properties.
    All the properties of the matter depend on microstructure/macrostructure at a larger scale, and at a smaller scale, on quantum phenomenons.
    Crystals do have vibrations which are called "phonons" but they are just a quantum of vibration, there is no magic involved here.

Proto-oncogenes, produce proteins that stimulate the cell to grow and divide, and Tumor suppressor genes at the same time inhibit cell division, they act as car breaks, they force the cell to slow down or stop the process of cell division. When both of these regulators break down, the cells start to replicate more frequently than normal, uncontrolled cell division can mess up DNA replication, the resulting mutations result in cancer cells.

      there are different methods of healing in this world. If you have somebody that truly believes that their chakras are out of alignment and they truly do believe that no amount of therapy and no amount of teaching them about science and biology or anything is going to change them. However if they go to a crystal healer and have their chakras "fixed" You will be surprised how much they change and it's all mental It's placebo effect but I have seen people that truly believe this act and behave and feel completely different after a healing even though it's all in their head.
      And in my opinion if you have somebody that has a mental issue and it's able to be corrected through a "Crystal healing" And it's done in a single session versus years in therapy. there might be something to it.

Many kinds of non-spiritualist meditation focus (implicitly or indirectly) on developing interoception of musculature and breathing (E.g., body-scan and breath focus, walking meditation, etc.), and from there interoception of thought and emotion. Even some more spiritual meditation, like vipassana, doesn't purport the existence of supernatural energies. Be wary of Affirming the Consequent and correlative reasoning.

    Selenite obsorbs the EMF for example from TVs ECT. I put a 1.7 kg block not so close to the telly which looked like it was burnt on both ends. Black Tourmaline is suppose to obsorb negative energy or EMF radiation.

    Rituals/placebo's are powerful though. I like to turn on candles after sun set so I get ready to wind down. It tells my body I'm safe. That is so incredibly beneficial. Crystals having some magical powers though... Um no. The electric ⚡⚡ power of crystals is also like the electric effect of my lamp or tv. Which means I should be feeling good after some couch time.

    Hey QfS I wanted to suggest you upscaling your videos to 1080x1920 to eliminate black bars present in your videos. In my opinion it just increases the overall quality of videos dramatically. Just a suggestion but either way still love your videos!

    I think you don’t understand what alchemy is it is actually the base for all modern science and the base for psychology and it’s actually not about turning lead to gold

    Crystals can make you feel better. By taking delight in their beauty. But it's all psychological. You aren't treating illness with them. It's kind of funny they take Chakras from Indian culture and then add in other stuff, like Native American traditional medicine and witchcraft.

    Placebo is really strong effect when it comes to stress relief. That's why it's so hard to search for the drugs for stress relief
    3:27 It's not incredibly narrow. It's in fact incredibly broad, as it's hard to define what a thought is

    I feel like the placebo effect is somehow related to Pavlov’s dogs, in that you can come to associate something to mean something positive. For Pavlov, he fed his dogs whenever he rang a bell, so every time they heard a bell ring, they would salivate with expectancy. With crystals, you associate them with some kind of wellbeing or healing, so you automatically start generating those feelings without realizing it (or “salivate”, so to speak).
    They’re not exactly the same, but I feel like there could be a psychological relationship between these two phenomena. I dunno
