In 1987, Stevie Nicks shared her philosophy on crystals during an MTV interview a glimpse into the timeless allure of earth’s magic.

Her fascination reflected something bigger than fashion it was part of a movement. The ‘70s and ‘80s saw a rebirth of folk magic, intuitive healing, and spiritual ecology a call back to nature’s quiet wisdom.

Crystals and psychedelics both come from traditions that honor the unseen energies, intentions, and expanded consciousness. In many lineages, crystals are believed to carry vibrational frequencies that harmonize with the human energy field. Whether these effects are energetic, symbolic, or psychological, their magic lies in how they invite us to connect with ourselves, the earth, and the universe.

That same spirit of ritual and intention inspired Natures Kaleidoscope my new creative venture celebrating crystals, art, and sacred connection. Each handmade piece I create for Natures Kaleidoscope is a love note from the Earth - crystals, feathers, and color woven into wearable magic. 🌿💎

These creations are designed to channel intuition, peace, protection, and healing to strengthen your aura, align and cleanse your chakras, and bring you back in tune with the rhythm of the cosmos✨

A neurotech startup in Silicon Valley, REMspace, says it has pulled off something straight out of science fiction: two way communication between lucid dreamers. Using specialized equipment and a constructed dream language called Remmyo, the company claims it successfully transmitted a single word from one sleeping participant to another both fully in the dream state.

Founder Michael Raduga calls it a foundational breakthrough, suggesting this experiment could pave the way for real-time conversations inside shared dream environments. If scaled, it could radically alter how humans interact, opening doors to a future where communication isn’t bound by waking reality.

At a 2022 talk with ‘How To Academy,’ trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté was asked about psychedelics and didn’t hesitate.

In carefully measured words, he called them a “wonderful modality” for healing, while warning of their potential misuse.

In the right conditions with proper guidance, clear intention, and a safe setting he’s seen psychedelics support recovery from addiction, improve autoimmune symptoms, and spark transformations that leave people more grounded, more whole.

“It all depends,” he emphasized, “on who’s using it, and in what context, and for what purpose.”

Maté has long argued that much of what we call “mental illness” is rooted in trauma. And when used responsibly, psychedelics can surface that trauma with a clarity talk therapy often can’t reach. They help people not just manage symptoms but re-encounter their own story with compassion.

But he’s also seen the darker side: the exploitation of vulnerable seekers, and the spiritual bypassing that can mask unresolved wounds. This is not a shortcut, he insists, but a path that requires preparation, integration, and care.

Yet despite mounting evidence and decades of research, these tools remain criminalized in most of the world.

In Maté’s view, that’s not just misguided it’s irrational. “Given their demonstrated potential,” he said, “and the sparsity of other methods,” their continued prohibition is a failure of both science and compassion.

Ultimately, psychedelics aren’t a cure-all. But they can open a door. And for many, that’s been enough to begin.

Scientists have uncovered a groundbreaking new use for DMT, a natural compound found in the human brain, and better known for its psychedelic effects. Researchers from Hungary’s HUN-REN Szeged Biological Research Centre and Semmelweis University have discovered that DMT can protect the brain after a stroke by repairing the blood-brain barrier and reducing inflammation. This dual action could dramatically improve recovery outcomes and mark a major shift in stroke treatment.

In laboratory and animal studies, DMT was shown to reduce brain swelling and tissue damage by activating Sigma-1 receptors, which regulate the body’s stress response at the cellular level. By calming inflammation and stabilizing the blood-brain barrier, DMT doesn’t just limit damage it helps restore vital brain function. The research, published in Science Advances, offers hope for new therapies that address multiple aspects of stroke recovery, not just one.

Current treatments for stroke remain limited, often leaving patients with lasting impairments. But this discovery could change that. Human clinical trials are already underway to test DMT’s safety and effectiveness as a companion therapy. If successful, this natural compound could usher in a new era of neuroprotection and recovery, giving patients a better chance at full healing.

A groundbreaking 2025 study has revealed that psilocin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, can extend the lifespan of human skin and lung cells by more than 50 percent. This discovery highlights an unexpected role for psychedelics beyond their well-known effects on the brain, pointing to potential applications in cellular health and longevity.

Researchers found that psilocin influences cellular pathways related to stress resistance and repair mechanisms. By enhancing the cells’ ability to withstand damage and maintain function, psilocin effectively slows down cellular aging. This could have far-reaching implications for regenerative medicine, anti-aging research, and treatments for age-related diseases.

While the study was conducted at the cellular level and not yet tested in whole organisms, the results are promising. They suggest that compounds traditionally associated with mental health and consciousness studies may also hold keys to improving physical health and lifespan at the cellular level.

The findings also raise exciting questions about the broader impact of psychedelics on human biology. Could psilocin or related compounds one day become tools to support tissue regeneration, healthy aging, or even organ preservation? Scientists are now exploring these possibilities while investigating safety, dosage, and mechanisms of action.

This research underscores the incredible potential of compounds found in nature and reminds us that even substances with a long history of cultural and spiritual use can reveal new benefits under scientific scrutiny.
