The Universal Law of Vibration first appeared as a concept in Ancient Egypt, around 700 BCE. It described creation as arising from movement, sound, and energetic resonance. This idea was inscribed on the Shabaka Stone, based on even older: old Kingdom teachings. According to the Memphite Theology, the god Ptah created the world through thought and word, vibration given form. Over time, this understanding evolved into what we now call the Universal Law of Vibration: that nothing rests, not even solid matter. All energy seeks harmony, a truth that can be witnessed in experiments like Huygens’ pendulums.

   This harmony also occurs between you and the crystals you wear. For a long time, I struggled with the concept of scale. I’m so much larger than any crystal I own, how could something so small possibly affect me energetically? I honestly thought it was the placebo effect until I began looking deeper. What I found were real-world examples showing that size doesn’t matter when it comes to vibrational exchange. When pendulums of different sizes share the same surface, they may not swing identically, but they do harmonize into a rhythmic relationship, a compromise frequency where energy is exchanged efficiently. The same principle applies to mechanical structures like bridges and buildings, which can resonate with one another when exposed to matching frequencies. It’s the reason soldiers break step while crossing a bridge, synchronized movement can amplify vibration through resonance and cause real physical damage.

   That realization changed everything for me. It meant that the crystals I wear can and do affect me, through resonance. And it left me wondering: if harmony naturally occurs between energies of any size, why doesn’t my vibration override the crystal’s and force it to match mine? The science is that crystals are comprised of perfectly ordered atomic lattices, their atoms repeat in consistent geometric patterns. This order gives them a fixed and stable vibrational frequency that rarely fluctuates. Human energy is constantly shifting with thought, emotion, health, and environment. We are biological oscillators made up of trillions of interacting frequencies.

   So, when our energy field interacts with a crystal’s, the more coherent pattern dominates, through entrainment. When you wear or hold a crystal your energy is invited into coherence and the crystal becomes a stabilizing energy. It’s this stabilizing effect that makes Quartz a valuable component in mechanical oscillators.

   After everything I have learned, I have come to understand that the Mystics from ancient civilizations probably knew more than we realize and that the knowledge from that time still has value. When I purchase a new crystal, I don’t look it up, I observe how the crystal affects me. After at least a week I will analyze my experience and then I look up what the overall purpose of that crystal is. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised to discover something that isn’t listed in the write-up. We all have our own personal energy field and the harmony that is created between the crystal, and our personal energy field can cause different experiences for each of us. I would like to encourage you to wait before you look up the metaphysics of your next crystal purchase. Give it time and see how your life changes and then look it up, because you never know you may be surprised by the results.
