Me: "I like going to mineral shows."
Person A: "I know! I use crystals for healing too!"
Person B: "Actually I don't believe in crystal healing."
Me: "... actually I like geology."
Persons A and B: *blank stare*
@TarkabarkaHolgy if you like geology, you’ve probably held rocks and if you’ve held a rock, you’ve maybe felt calm or relief - so it’s both! & that’s this rock shop’s motto:
@carlysagan I love it, I can get behind this :)
@TarkabarkaHolgy when I’m stressed, squeezing a rock does seem to help a lot lol. In terms of exact healing for each type of rock (lol), I think ppl are just trying to get at how valuable setting intentions can be?
@carlysagan I read a book written by a geologist and a psychologist about crystal healing. They broke down the concept, but they did acknowledge the role of placebo and mindfulness in the psychology behind it.
