Well it works in my experience so I will stay on that side. Can it be scientifically proven? Probably not since it's not measurable. But if it happens to work for you - your experience will be far bigger than any proofs.

People are really, really good at believing that mystical things help them, when in fact they are no better than placebo. Placebo, by the way, is an incredibly strong effect which has helped some people tackle illnesses of all sorts. However, it's not replicable enough that we suggest everybody suffering from depression be treated with placebo and only placebo, and any medication is unhelpful.
