Hocus-pocus or abracadabra vs quantum physics and we debunk crystal myths.

I share with you my newsletter of November 19, 2023

Nowadays many people are in search of real magic and let me tell you that everything you think is magical actually has a scientific explanation.

As far as my field (crystals) is concerned, I know that many people want to see “something magical”. I hate to become the Grinch of crystals, but my dear friends, this is not magic, it is pure and hard quantum physics, in fact, two types of quantum physics.

The first type would be the chemical formation of the crystal, its components and vibration exert an effect on us through the drag theory.

The second type, the personal work that you do with that crystal or amulet.

I am going to tell you about Dr. Emoto, a renowned Japanese scientist (remember that I said scientist and not magician). Emoto became famous when he published a very simple experiment. He cooked rice and put it in three jars. In one he wrote “I hate you” and every day he said hurtful and hateful words to it. In the other he wrote “I love you” and every day he spoke to it in a loving tone and said loving words to it. And to the third he did not write anything and did not say anything.

Can you imagine the result? The one that received hate became moldy and turned black, the one that received love germinated.

Emoto argued that the human body is 60%-65% water, do you see where I'm going with this? If you treat yourself badly every day, you talk badly to yourself, there's no need to beat yourself up emotionally every day, but it's enough to say "I'm not enough", "I'm not good enough", "he/she is better than me", "I'm not happy", etc. Our cells receive that message, believe me, they do!

And I'll get straight to the point. All psychologists today tell us how important it is to dialogue with ourselves: how we talk to ourselves, how we treat ourselves, changing "I can't" to "I'll get there at my own pace" would change so many things...

So I go back to the second type of magic of crystals, it is how you feel when you wear it, how protected and calm you feel because that amulet of love, that crystal that has millions of years of creation, of life is with you and makes you feel safe and you change your dialogue. “This is going to help me” and it helps you, of course it helps you, because the first type of magic (its vibration, its Hz) does a job and the second type of magic is created by you.

What do you say now?

Okay Sandra, so what about the rituals?

Yi Sindri intincis lis ritiilis…

Ahhhh the clever ones, I mean sorry the rituals, they are not magic rituals. They are rituals and that's it.

Definition of ritual: A ritual is a sequence of activities involving gestures , words, actions or objects, performed according to an established sequence, mainly for their symbolic value.

Rituals are a feature of all known human societies. They include not only the worship rites and sacraments of organized religions and cults , but also rites of passage , rites of atonement and purification , oaths of allegiance , dedication ceremonies, coronations and presidential inaugurations , marriages, funerals, and others. Even common actions such as shaking hands and saying "hello" may be termed rituals.

That is to say, getting married is a ritual, a baptism is a ritual, celebrating a birthday is a ritual.

Rituals are important because, first of all, the ones I share here are ancestral wisdom from many of my teachers, from their families and from their towns and countries. Rituals that here in the West are unknown or not practiced and are wonderful.

That is why I share them, two because when doing a ritual, when performing the act itself you become aware of many things and they are also exercises, let's call them that if you want, they are exercises that raise the frequency, eliminate low frequency energy or in other cases we introduce elements with a frequency of protection towards us, our home or our work area.

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Angie gave me a great book called Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso, and in one chapter she talks about the power of magical thinking. In it, she says that she hates people saying that someone is lucky, that luck implies being free of responsibility, that luck makes us believe that whatever happens, whether good or bad, is not in our hands and is not our fault.

I think like her too, we control what we think and what we think controls our lives. It seems simple right? But as she and many other people say, this simple fact can seem like magic.

But I will also tell you that we are human and that there are days when everything goes wrong, and how can that be? I left home today with a “today is going to be a wonderful day” painted on my face! Why am I having such a muddy day?

Learning.

EVERYTHING in this life is a learning experience.

Don't forget it, and don't leave it to chance.

I'm going to tell you some secrets

better kept away from the glass!

Continuing with magic vs quantum physics, I allow myself to continue in my role as the Grinch. 1. Sandra, what happens when someone touches my glass?  Well, a part of that person remains trapped in the glass forever. Hahaha forgive me, I couldn't help it.   Well, I'm sorry to spoil your own Iker Jiménez chapter. Nothing is happening, really, don't worry because nothing is happening. Crystals have a frequency of thousands of years of evolution (the time it took them to form in the earth's layer) so someone touching your crystal is not going to change that frequency.   Another thing is that you don't like your personal space being invaded and/or you feel uncomfortable with that person. It's okay, clean your amulet afterwards if you feel that way, but I feel bad telling you that no one has that power by touching the crystal for at most 30 seconds (which is usually the maximum amount of time that someone touches your amulet).   2. I have to put the crystal in the light of the full moon. What if the light of the full moon doesn't shine directly on it? Sandraaaaa, the light isn't shining on the crystal! What do I do? And the drama of the full moons is created…   Calm down again. The fact of cleaning and charging our crystals during the full moon is done because (it's a bit of a long story but to sum it up...) that day there is a change in pressure. Nowadays we live in cement blocks and that's why it's important to take our crystals outside. But don't worry, they don't have to be given the light of the full moon as a magic cloak.   3. Do I have to charge my crystals in a bathtub full of water and salt every full moon, right?   Well, that's not exactly how it is. First, please don't do it every full moon. Crystals are not a battery that needs to be cleaned and recharged every 28 days as a rule. Only when you notice that your crystal is congested, that is, that it doesn't work as well or that the lunar cycle has been too long, then clean it, but clean it whenever you want with smoke (palo santo or incense).   To put all the crystals in water or in the bathtub (as many do) it is important that you know how hard your crystal is, since selenite, celestite or calcite (for example) have a low hardness and immersing them in sea water or salt water for more than 12 hours can damage your crystal.   You can find out its hardness by looking on the Friedrich Mohs scale, which is a scale that goes from 1 (talcum powder) to 10 (diamond).   4. Sandra I need a crystal to attract love . (See Sandra burying her head in the ground like an ostrich.)   Okay, time to reveal another little secret I've been shouting about a lot on Instagram. CRYSTALS ARE NOT GOING TO ATTRACT ANYONE, NOT THE ONE YOU LIKE, NOT THE ONE YOU LIKE, NOT YOUR CLOTH.    Your first love, your true love, the one that will make you live and make you laugh like never before, that... do you know which one it is? I'll give you a moment to go to the bathroom and see what's reflected in the mirror. Voila, YOU!   You are the love that matters the most to you, even if you are a mother or father. Because if you do not take care of yourself or love yourself or value yourself, others will not have you 100% and no one will enjoy your magnificent essence. If you do not put yourself first, if you put someone else first, I feel bad telling you that things will never be balanced and will come out somewhere.   Crystals do not attract love. There are crystals that put you first on the list of needs, there are crystals that are a hug of love for you, and when everything is fine with you (believe me), everything will gradually fall into harmony. It's not magic, I assure you.   After explaining four of the questions you ask me most, I'm going to say goodbye, until in two weeks.

I wish you lots of good magic, do you know what kind of magic that is?   It's that hug you give to the people you love, that hug that makes you never want to part. It's that smile that people give you when they see you that makes your heart warm. It's going to see your neighbor, the one who is alone, and bringing them something sweet to share a good chat; it's listening, really listening, and that's a magic that fewer and fewer people have.   I find magic every day in the little things that make my heart warm and my soul vibrate loudly.    Sandra.
