We recently received a question about a new coaching tool known as the Wingwave method. What is it and is it associated with the New Age?
MJ asks: “What is a Quack Miranda Warning and why is it supposed to appear on alternative medicine sites?”
We have had questions from readers wondering about the “find your inner child” craze that is sweeping through many areas of mental health and whether or not it is connected with the New Age.
Did you know there are thousands of people who swear they were abducted by aliens? There’s also a vast number of people who believe they lived past lives, who think horses are possessed of a collective wisdom that can guide us in life, and who swear by an enormous compendium of consciousness recorded on a non-physical realm known as the astral plane.
LB writes: “I am a Family Nurse Practitioner working in a practice providing integrative medical care. Much of my approach is education regarding diet and nutritional supplements along with basic allopathic care. I work with a physician who is a licensed ‘Symptometrist.’ There is little information available as to the foundation and science behind Symptometry. Wondering if you can shed some light and provide some guidance on how a Catholic should approach this.”
JJ asks: “Walking Tai Chi is all over social media. Is this really tai chi and is it okay for Catholics?”
We have had numerous questions over the years from people wondering if they should continue to visit a doctor who offers New Age healing methods in his/her practice, even if the patient specifically requests that the doctor not use these methods when treating them. In this case, is there any harm in continuing to see these doctors?
JB writes: “So many of my friends have abandoned modern medicine and say the placebo effect proves alternatives like positive thinking work because they tend to be more in line with the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Is this true, or is it just New Age spin?”
MJB asks: "Is PENS New Age? And are there any alternatives people can use for pain relief other than acupuncture?"
