stilletto, what exactly was she doinng in her garage? If by "crystal healing" she's referring to how crystal bowls vibrate when you run something around the edge.....than that's actually not bad stuff. Those bowls are remarkably expensive, but they produce sounds that are "incredible". I couldn't possibly describe how the sound permeates through you. Whether these things have lasting ramifications or not, I have no idea......but I know you do feel better afterwards. They can offer any sort of new age explanations they want, like it "aligns" your chakra's......I dunno, I just know that I've been in the presence of those bowls while they're being lit up.......and it's incredible, especially the big ones that you can feel hitting you lower in the body. I know a girl who was a bodybuilder and she lost her period for over a year. She sat in on one of those sessions and than literally "exploded" down there later that night. She called me up the next day practically crying she was so happy. She had gone to see alot of specialists and the medical community was telling her she may never get it back.

take that for what you will.
