    I am loving this topic on Crystal Therapy. My web site is named
    Rocksmyth, not Rock-Smyth because my last name is Smith, but
    Rocks-Myth as in the myths behind the rocks that I love so dearly. 

    The heart of most computers, many watches, is a piece of Quartz,
    which is used to regulate the clock or timing.  Silicon, which many
    computer chips have been made of,  is derived from quartz.  The
    following link will tell you how.

    I am a physicist, and for me to believe something, I have to see
    it. About 30 years ago, I was going to dig a water well in my back
    yard, in a very residential area of Dallas.  I had no idea where to
    dig, so in a fleet of imagination, I thought I would have some fun
    and have a dowser 'Witch' my well. 

    I called around to the shops that sold metal detectors, and asked
    if they knew of a water witcher. I got the phone number of a man,
    gave him a call, and we determined he would come over and 'witch' my
    back yard, charging me $50 for the service, and giving me $25 back
    if I didn't find water.  This seemed pretty safe, so I asked him
    over.  I've blown $50 on sillier things. I was expecting a farmer in
    overalls and a T-Shirt to come over in his rusty pickup, carrying a
    fork from a peach tree.  That's they way I had seen it in the
    movies.  Imagine my surprise when a new Lincoln Continental drove
    up, a man in a three piece suit got out and introduced himself as
    the Vice President of Holiday Inns.  He came in the house, sat at my
    kitchen table, drew a map of my home and the yard, garage, trees,
    and driveway.  He said he was going to find the water using "Map
    Dowsing and Triangulation".  He then proceeded to take a plastic
    tube, insert a wire shaped like an "L" in the tube and then wave it
    over the map he had drawn.  It seemed to stop at one place, and he
    drew a line along the map where the line stopped.  He then rotated
    the map 90 degrees, did the same waving thing, it stopped, he drew
    another line which intersected the first line, and said "Here is
    where you need to dig for water.".  My thoughts were, "I just got
    took for $50...<grin>".  

    He then went outside, took a little plastic thing out of his
    briefcase, which looked like two plastic tongue depressors,
    connected to a plastic silver ball, that had a Radio Shack Antenna
    screwed into the other end. He extended the radio antenna, held onto
    the two tongue depressors and started walking towards the spot in
    the backyard where he said the water was.  He said, "At some point
    this will dip towards the ground, and when it does, we measure the
    distance to the spot where the water is , and that is how far down
    you have to dig. "  I now knew for sure that I had lost my $50..<G>.
     As a last resort, I asked him if I could do it instead of him.  I
    knew there was no way he would say yes, and I could save my $50 by
    shouting "Fraud!!!". 

    He said "Sure, just hold the handles, and think of pure running
    water." 

    Well, this thing probably weighed 3 ounces at the most.  I have been
    pumping iron all my life, and even on a bad day can curl 150 lbs.  I
    started walking towards the imaginary spot on the ground where the
    water was supposed to be, and at about 50 feet, this little plastic
    thing pulled my arms to the ground, and I couldn't pull them up.  I
    saw, I felt, I experienced, I became a believer. I became a believer
    in a process that ordinary people have been using for hundreds of
    years with great success. After this experience, it became very easy
    for me to believe in the myths behind rocks, or crystal therapy. 

    You can't measure the process of dowsing, there have been millions
    spent by different governments trying to make a science out of it,
    yet even though it can't be 'proven', it is used with success daily
    all around the world.

    You cant measure some of the "Myths" behind Rocks, but who is to
    say they don't exist..... 

Love and God Bless
