"Are you familar with this type of therapy? My brother's girlfriend has her doctorate in Psychology and she admits she is New Age in her thinking. She is very involved in being trained in this method and now my brother is going to attend a weekend conference on Constellation Therapy with her. What can you tell me about it?"

The
Wacky Wednesday edition of
EWTN’s Women of Grace® Live Radio is always an interesting show that never fails to turn up questions about some of the wackiest New Age practices and “treatments” on the planet – such as whether or not a “bioresonance” device known as the Healy can really keep us healthy.

Our ministry was recently asked about Quantum Neurology and whether or not this is a legitimate therapy or just another version of the same-old New Age quackery.

New Age energy workers insist that the cause of all of mankind’s ills are related to imbalances in an alleged universal life force energy known as chi, qi, prana, vital force, etc. Thanks to the sophistication of modern science, it was easy to prove that this energy doesn’t exist, so easy, in fact, that a nine-year-old girl thoroughly debunked the claims of these “energy workers” in a fourth-grade science fair project!

The field of health care has a lot of new players these days – and many of them have little or nothing to do with conventional medicine. There’s complementary medicine, alternative medicine, whole medical systems, mind-body medicine, integrative medicine, etc. These fields are inundated with New Age practitioners, so it’s a good idea to learn what they are and what to watch out for.

"What is Tong Ren and what do you know about it? A close Christian friend of mine has a 10 year old daughter who has brain cancer and has trusted in the Lord consistently until the cancer got worse and there was no hope given by doctors for a cure. I know my friend is desperate to get her child healed but recently went to a Tong Ren session and said there would be a 'doll and a hammer' used.
"I was quite disturbed about this and sent her an email begging her to not do this. I believe it is against the first commandment. She is angry with me and went to this session anyway. I worry that this practice will only make matters worse for her child...what do you think?"

DW asks: "
Are you familiar with Splankna? It would fall under the general category of 'Energy Psychology' and uses three protocols: Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.), Thought Field Therapy (T.F.T.), and E.M.D.R.
