In its actions, the crystal helps in fine-tuning the body to its psychic sensibilities. Interestingly, one might never know what is in store after the sensibilities are heightened- for one would see a flash in the future.

According to Dr. Tracy Bullard, the current century has seen a lot of people working with crystals as they incorporate them into their daily lives. And let’s be honest- this isn’t the 1950s or 60s counterculture movement, where people wanted to be different for the sake of being different. Now, people truly believe in the power of crystals, and how they may benefit an individual. Also, we can’t deny the utilization of crystals in science. Quartz crystals are routinely used to conduct electricity and are also used to keep time on our watches. Crystals are also used in LED and LCD screens, ultrasound, radios, sonar, transistors, and other forms of technology. Silicon crystals are at the very center of computer technology, something that powers everything else.
