Musical Vibrations as Medicine
In today’s society, we are all familiar with the mainstream modern medicine used today. When we’re sick we take drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies. In more drastic cases we need a surgeon to cut through our skin and fix us from the inside. We do these things because we have been taught that these are the best ways to fix a person who is unwell. What if I told you that sound and vibrations at the right frequency could also be used to help heal the body? It sounds absolutely crazy right? This idea wasn’t so crazy to great minds like Pythagoras and Nikola Tesla.

The 17th Century British Colonial Blitzkrieg
The British Empire reached its venerable peak during the Victorian Age. There were British colonies and protectorates spanning the globe from the southern tip of Africa to India, from Hong Kong to Gibraltar, and beyond. It was fashionable to say that the sun never set on the British Empire, both in fortunes and in the very literal sense. However, this empire did not spring from nothing.

We are made of liquid crystals and can do our own crystal healing.
We are captivated by crystals. Always have been. Mesmerised by the way they harvest light from the world around them and then fling it back outwards in every direction at once, throwing a tiny galaxy of stars around themselves. By their dream-like hues, which no human-mixed palette could match.
