I know a lady, wonderful person, who practices crystal therapy on her clients. They keep coming back and love the work she does. Which leaves me gobsmacked because I am a sceptic and think she is as crazy as a bedbug (she agrees with me).

meditation among students with the use of crystals

How ridiculous! Do they need a specific clock frequency to meditate? Do they get hot if they meditate too hard and the clock frequency is too high? Do they have a static or a dynamic architecture? If it's dynamic, their minds will be completely cleared in less than a millisecond at a clock of 0 Hz. You don't need a crystal for that! And if it's static, then not even 0 Hz (or any other frequency) will make any difference.

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It's hard to underestimate the placebo effect. Whatever she is doing, her clients clearly believe its working, and it appears to be helping. Hopefully, though, she knows the limits and will direct her clients to qualified professionals when the situation warrants.

Even more worrying is that this is a school head. :wtf: Hopefully, there will be many parents that decide, this is not the place to trust with the education of their children.

You are making the unwarranted assumption that there was anything in their minds to begin with. :-\

Unlikely. This is in America, where there is a case for every nut.

Irrelevant. They are cleared, independent of what was in there before. Resistance is futile.

Remember - the placebo effect canbe about 30% effective. Convolute into that that her clients are believer to begin with for going to such therapy. There's also the need for attention she give them - possibly for illnesses that others in medical professions of a less esoteric nature tell them (perhaps politely) that it's all in their head. PT Barnum famously figured out how to make a buck from this part of human nature.

Here's a preposition to consider. You are, for the most part, surrounded by hostile (or borderline) neighbors who will attempt to kill arbitrary innocent strangers at any moment. Meanwhile, others are putting their resources heavily into annihilating you. Who has the luxury of time to spend their time in thoughtless indulgences? In it's way, even peace* has its price.

My son had seizures when he was very little and the doctors were never able to find anything wrong. One visit to the chiropractor and he never had a seizure again. Don't knock chiropractors.

Meditation has been scientifically proven to be beneficial. I don't know what the crystals are supposed to do though.

There is nothing more self-indulgent than being a Haredi man. :sigh: I think that this debate is not really suited to CodeProject, but I'm willing to take it to e-mail, if you prefer.

The funny thing is she IS a highly qualified professional nurse with decades of experience. One of the smartest people I know, still nuts though.
