New Age Healing

The New Age movement is a movement of the late twentieth century and is associated with contemporary culture. New Age is exemplified by an eclectic and individual methodology to explore the spiritual realm. The New Age movement is sometimes called self-spirituality, new spirituality, and mind-body-spirit. It is also used to refer to individuals who implant new beliefs to a typical religious affiliation.

The New Age movement also has aspects of older and more traditional spiritual and religious traditions and beliefs from both East and West. Many of these traditions and beliefs have bonded with ideas from modern science, especially psychology and ecology.

One of the most important aspects of this movement is New Age healing. New Age healing does not involve extensive use of medicine and high-tech medical equipment.

The concept behind New Age healing is quite simple. It states that a higher intelligence, a latent spiritual energy, permeates existence. We become misaligned with this energy when we become sick. New Age healing focuses on aligning the latent energies that we hold in our own bodies. That means, to have perfect health, emotional, spiritual, and physical energy must be aligned.

This can be done with various alternative New Age healing techniques. Here are some examples.

1) Healing with sound – each organ in the body is believed to have a specific vibration. Peaceful, relaxing, and calming sound such as meditative music and nature calls align out-of-balance energies. However, undesirable sounds such as engine noise, human pain, etc., can aggravate the situation.

2) Healing with color – just like in numerology in which the practice uses numbers, colors are used in New Age healing. Colors per se are completely neutral but when incorporated in an occultic system, they become helpful tools for healing. The sufferer uses healing colors by making sure he sees or experiences them. Examples of usage is wearing bright-colored clothes, eating brightly-colored fruits, or staying in a warm-colored room.

3) Healing with crystals and gemstomes – it is widely believed that crystals such as quartz and gemstones such as amethysts and turquoise have healing powers. By placing these crystals or stones at a specific body part or point of imbalance, they transmit their healing power to take away the blockage and to realign energies.

4) Massage therapy – Shiatsu, reflexology, polarity therapy, and other types of massage are perfect for realigning misaligned energies.

5) Aromatherapy – the relaxing fragrance of flowers, herbs, and aromatic woods can bring the energies of the body, mind, and spirit into balance.

These are just some of the most popular New Age healing techniques available today.
