"I live in an over 55 community that is constantly promoting yoga and other 'fitness' programs. The newest program being offered to the seniors is the Feldenkrais Method . . . Are you familiar with this method of fitness? Is this another 'New Age' type program? I looked on the website and it sure looks like one to me. What concerns me the most is that no “religious” activities are allowed at the Club House, no services or Bible studies, yet they offer several of these “yoga” type programs. Would you be so kind as to help me address this?”

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."

I received this heartbreaking e-mail from a woman whose cousin apparently died because of his involvement in Silva Mind Control. May this serve as a warning to all that the mind control tactics employed by many of these New Age charlatans are extremely dangerous!

Wayne Dyer (1940 - 2015)
MR writes: “I have Catholic friends who really like Wayne Dyer on PBS and tell me that he believes the same as we do. I think he is a new ager who twists the truth. Would you do a program about the incompatibility of his work with Catholicism or share your insights about him on your blog page? I need your help in expressing my concerns about him.”
