I don’t know about you, but I get this stuff all the time – the latest New Age hyper-sell to land in my inbox is the Home Enlightenment and Self Realization Program by Sri Sutrananda which uses a combination of Jnana, Raja, Bhakti, Karma, Hathaa and Kunda yoga to take users on a journey of “spiritual discovery and self realization.”

One of these activities is yoga, but there are many others (surfing, golf, skiing, etc.). . . . Now that I’m learning more about the new age, it is especially disturbing to me to have found that they created a logo symbol for their company that they are calling their “chi logo.” At the bottom of one of the pages on their website they define “chi” as “the circulating life energy inherent in all beings.” On the ordering website, you can click on “chi blog” and go to the blog area which they describe as a ‘collaborative blog for connecting active, athletic, women to the energy of inspiration.’

I also have been doing self help with Jin Shin Jyutsu. I went to these practitioners because going to the regular doctors who prescribe the chemical drugs was making me sicker. . .
