In the pantheon of "spiritual" activies, there are many things that do not work and many that do. It is difficult to tell which are which because silly idiots believe in everything with that label and can't think rationally. Here's a short list to help you tell the difference:
WORKS:
Yoga: excellent physical activity, excellent for accelerating meditation practices.
Divination/tarot cards: The symbols used in divination help you to realize thoughts you didn't know you were having. It gives you something to psychologically project onto so that you can figure yourself out faster and with more clarity.
Meditation: Gives you the ability to think before you act and make better decisions in every area of life.
Sound/Music/Dance/Color therapy: Certain aesthetic experiences are proven to change your mental state.
DOES NOT WORK:
Homeopathics: Literally just magic-water.
Psychic readers: They're making it up. No psychic has ever been able to reliably produce results better than random chance.
Crystals: no evidence they are anything other than pretty.
Energy healing/Reiki: Results are identical to placebo effect. Simply believing you are healing is what makes you heal faster.
