CB asks:
“Just thought that I’d make you aware of another technique that is gaining adherents here in the Chicagoland area. It is the LifeLine Technique developed by Dr. Darren Weismann. He is gaining followers through his books and is training people to teach his methods. It’s classic New Age psychic/energy healing nonsense with a side of chiropractic thrown in (which is what draws most people into his practice initially.). You might want to address this in your blog.”

We received this feedback from a recent Women of Grace® “Wacky Wednesday” radio show during which we discussed The Healing Code and other pseudoscientific alternatives. This listener was generous enough to share the hard lesson she learned from dabbling in alternatives:

This is the first of a two-part question from AR: "
I have been helping out an elderly women that mentioned that she has used, and would like to use again, something called Bowen Therapy. I looked it up and on one of the sites, I did see some link to meridian/accupuncture and it had a ying/yang symbol, but it really seems like simple stimulations and trying to move toxins out of the body...like what would happen if one simply had a massage. Anyway, do you have any info on this therapy and any concerns? Some of this new age stuff is obviously problematic, but I can't help but think that some "alternative" medicine is much better than the 'treat the symptom' form of western medicine."

Are these practices New Age; if so, why are they so prevalent in health care facilities?

Why can't we regard God as an 'energy force'? If He's pure spirit, then wouldn't He be more of a force than a Person?"

SG: "
Have you heard much about the Minds in Motion program? Would you consider it New Age? It is based upon the research from Brain Gym (which has many meditations along with WONDERFUL exercises). Through researching the Minds in Motion program, I have not noticed any meditations - just LOTS of activities that focus on crossing the midline and increasing body awareness (moving slowly and watching your hand as you move)."

“I have heard that there’s some kind of spiritual significance to when you wake up in the middle of the night. For example, if you wake up at 1:00 a.m. it means you’re on the brink of a spiritual awakening – or at 3:00 a.m. it means your energy levels are too low. Is any of this true?”

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would come up with a way to help us stay energized and alert throughout the day regardless of how busy we are? It sure would, but the New Age idea of restoring “energy” isn’t the way to go.
