I recently bought a lot of crystals (about a half pound to be exact) to find out if they really can have an effect on your life.
Purchased from eBay: http://ebayitem.com/110664816955 (http://ebayitem.com/110664816955)
I decided to buy crystals after I had watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcnALCziMq8
He has a bunch of cool videos that I learned a whole lot from.
Now then the experiment!
What I am going to do is randomly pick a crystal every first of the month and take it everywhere I go. I will also keep a everyday journal to write down my daily experiences. Once a new month starts I will then look up what type of crystal I was holding to see what aspects of my life its supposed to enhance and compare it to the experiences in my journal. After that I will randomly choose another crystal and repeat the process until I go through all the crystals.
I am looking forward to this! :-D
P.S. The dude in the video states that you can charge crystals by leaving them in the sun. So every afternoon when I come back from school I will put my crystal in the sun to charge aswell.
Do you BELIEVE that they have an effect upon your life?
I say its possible, I don't have enough experience with crystals to believe or not to believe.
Well, simply stated... if you believe or assume that they have an effect upon your life, then they will. :)
Nice experiment.
I would advise spending some time with them in your hand throughout the day. Meditate with them a bit too if you can.

And if you believe they wont then they wont. If you keep an open mind you will get to the truth :wink:

i think it depends on the type of crystal, some might even lose their 'abilities' and others (such as amythysts) get 'bleached out', so I would not advise doing that, at least not on principle
rather, you can put (most of) them out at night on days in the calendar when the full moon is on, as the lore says that then they get charged, but first, dis-charge them by holding them under running warm (not hot or cold) water ... so they say ... :lol:

yes, I think that is an important point. crystals are 'resonators' or also 'amplifiers' that resonate over time with their owner who wears them, probably amplifying sth, so it is decisive what you yourself radiate to them or 'put into' them (in expectations, beliefs, emotions, etc.), just hanging 'stones around your neck' won't lead you to anything
I have a crystal skull. It's given me vast amounts of information, cleansed chakras or myself of negativity, etc. Continue with your experiment.

Well, what you need to do is get to the root of WHY that is... and not just blindly accept one over the other.
I'll give you a hint: Intent. ;)
I am doing this experiment with no expectations, beliefs, or hopes. Simply for my love for metaphysics.
Right on brother

That's the best way to approach everything we talk about here. :)
Mr...my experience of crystals tell me that they are irrelevant. You'll find the answers you are looking for... in your MIND!
I guess we will see after the experiment. If I were a believer in crystals I would not expect them to change anyone's life substantially.
Good point.
My Crystals Have Arrived! :-D

I will start carrying it around tomorrow until the first of October, sure that leaves a extra week and some change but I'm eager lol.
Every week I will update this thread about any key changes in life
You could try sleeping with them under your pillow too.
I was gonna sleep with them in my hand but that works too :-D

Rose quartz and clear quartz. They're the only ones that I can say definately do anything for me. I'd say what they do but I dont want to influence the experiement.
ah, way to think about others blis :wink:
Well you think you can message me?
Im about to do research on crystals. I want to gain knowledge on every spiritual, metaphal, ect. thing i can know :-D
old topic i know, but im just curios on what has happened. i like testifiers more than info on the net about it

I've researched and experimented with every type of crystal. In the end I gave them all away to girls because they like shiny things. What did you learn?
ima assume that
1. either your a nice guy and wanted the girls to feel the efect
2. They didnt work and you gave it away
3. Mabey your unconcious, subconcious, whatever concious didnt think they will work so they didnt. So Law of attraction, power of your mind is what did it
4. the crystals didnt like you and they decided to not work :-D
Of course they dont work on everyone, but some say they do work on them sooooo it could go both ways, thats why i want a testimony so i know what crystal has the potential to do what.

I'd like to think #1. In fact they worked too well and I became consumed w/ exploring other realities. Lemurian crystals worked the best for me. Healing my younger brother of a heart ailment that he was going to need surgery for and allowing me to communicate w/ some nice Lemurians.
Here are a few links to some of my quartz crystal experiments:

wow.. gained a lot of intel about you know, hah. also like your dojo
Also, you kind of seem to be living the life i want, rather, i am going to live.
The hard part is where to start really. Going to the basics because i need a good foundation (meditating, and some new.)
I would like to seek help from you from the future though because i do need guidence.
Anyways im going to do research on magets right now, and crystals.
"She described how the energy can be passed through the crystal into the higher planes and be used with our chakras to store a limitless amount of thought energy"
Now this is interesting. I could meditating, put energy into this crystal everyday and release the energy when i want?
If not, explain that crystal, think it was quartz..?
Also, what links can you think of that give valid info on crystals and magnets or whatever you used. I would like a amplifier and healing one :-D
I have done many forms of energy works. I have a very large collection of crystals and I love them. One thing I was taught by my ancestors was not to use them. Of course when I was a kid I did the exact opposite and used them for everything. Today I figured out why (since my family never told me) I shouldn't use them. Our abilities and perception on this world comes from our own energies and minds. All energy we use comes from ourselves or around us. All matter in this universe at one point was crammed into the space of a subatomic particle before the 'big bang' if you believe that theory, which I do. Time and space is just our perception. I have no troubles using the same energy you may or may not get from a smokey quartz in your hand while my hands are empty. We are all born from star dust, and all stars where born from gas clouds, and all those gas clouds where crammed into that gamma burst if you believe in science at all. Time and Space is merely our illusion, and if you understand this you can connect to your higher self and harness the same energy from the ground, possibly 100 unowned crystals, all willing to aid you, merely because of asking.
Trading dead men on paper for pieces of the planet to call your energy tool does not make it more yours. It just makes the seller more rich.
That is just my opinion.
I do believe that some people NEED to own crystals. I feel it has to do with self confidence. If you can memorize all the crystals and there 'claimed' properties then you are creating bookmarks in your own mind to be able to harness those energies. But at the same time you are also giving yourself a handicap, making yourself dependant on not only owning these stones, but needing them to be on your person. Those are two handicaps I do not wish to have but they are a pretty nick knack
yea, i kinda lean towards the big bang. and i watched something about star dust not to long ago, (well how suns are made and how they die)
But i see where your coming from. I just want to know about everything i can because one day i may need it to help with something (healing).
Also, as i read, quartz can hold infinate energy or something close. if i constantly put my energy into it as a storage, it could be handy for later (if thats how it works anyways) but i understand where you are coming from and agree for the most part :-(
You have access to inexhaustible energy simply by reaching for it. When you're giving healing, it freely flows through you to the recipient.
I have found that crystal work is excellent for beginners when it come to channeling your own energies for magickal work. I would use a crystal or stone of some sort in almost every meditation or ritual when i was quite younger. In my own belief the stones do hold some energy and healing properties as everything from this earth is pulsing with energy. I might have the same effect i do with stones as i would by picking up a handful of dirt and putting it in a bag and using that in the same sense. At the same time, different crystals and stones have different effects upon us. I still think this has a lot to do with the different personalities we hold inside simultaneously. None the less, they are still very interesting to work with and your research is also moving.
Real crystals.
Awesome.
Hope the experiment works out, you can verify if the crystal is, firstly, doing anything, then secondly, if it does what your reference source says it does.
I've been doing a nightly meditation, with imaginary crystals. It seems to really boost my energy. But since I started wearing them, it gets harder to breathe. They are water based, rather than electricity or shadow/darkness based. Made some good psi balls, looks like psi balls are a water basis. I think that's what I'll go do after a chakra meditation.
After years of internet, it's gonna feel good to get back into doing what life things are supposed to be. Psi balls are one of those things.
Sorry guys the experiment was pretty much canceled after school and work started taking up a lot of my time.. I might do it over the summer still
