Why You Should Pass on Somato-Emotional Release Therapy

CF writes: “I have a question regarding a therapy. A friend of mine briefly talked about a therapy he recently experienced call ‘Somato-Emotional Release (SER) Therapy.’ I have not been able to find any information regarding this therapy from a Catholic perspective. Is this a therapy Catholics should avoid?”

A Pseudo-Science Known as Splankna

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. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Because the basis of this approach uses the 'Meridian System of Energy,' does it possess the same issues as Reiki and other new age healing modalities?"

Steer Clear of Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.)

EG write: "I have a feeling that this Chiropractor is in the new age but I don't know how to warn my Catholic Charismatic Covenant Community about him. Some of our members go to him for chiropractic treatment and nutrition counseling for healing. I know that he attends Catholic Church and I think he considers himself a good Catholic.  We have been praying that the Blessed Mother will remove the blinders from his eyes and those in the Community who go to him.  Now he is giving a Healing Workshop at the Community Center and I'm being ask to join. I hope that I am wrong and he is fine. I am attaching his flyer for the work shop.  I did look on his website and he has some connections with Wayne Dryer."

Superbrain Yoga

Jackie sent us a link about SuperbrainYoga®  "I know you have spoken on your broadcast before about how dangerous yoga is and how all the positions reflect some sort of praise to a false god. Does that include this Superbrain Yoga®? Or are they just calling this yoga, but it's really just an exercise for the brain. I would love to try it, because I have a lot of trouble with my memory and focusing, but I don't want to try it if it is only a gate into spiritual darkness."

Acupuncture Remains Scientifically Unconvincing

JE writes: "I am seeking advice on acupuncture to help with back pain and depression.  I have researched a little on valid health websites and have found some information that acupuncture might work.  From a spiritual perspective is it as dangerous as practices reiki, or is there some gray area?  Also what about seeking out a herbalist who I know is into New Age. I would be seeking the medicinal route, but even the thought of him touching me, makes me nervous.  I think his herbs would not have anything put on them."
