Now I would consider myself as someone who is spiritual, I feel strongly that there is a higher essence or creative aspect to reality, whether you want to call that the Universe or God doesn't really matter. Certainly not in a Religious context which was designed by man to keep us away from connecting what we all surely have within, a spark of creation.
What I do see though is that the whole scene or 'New Age movement' is set up all fluffy and light, where everything is positive and no negativity exists anywhere even in your shadow self. A place where a bit of yoga and a gong bath will blow away years of unhealed trauma. Now I'm not saying that these modalities don't have their uses but what I am saying is that they do little to delve into your subconscious and heal the inner child who is waiting patiently for most of us.
The truth is the New Age movement (or new cage) attracts damaged folk like moths to a light. lets be honest who wouldn't want to escape this absolute mental asylum of a World to a place with angels and flying unicorns? I get it totally. But ultimately it is not helping that person or the World as a whole. Unfortunately a whole dose of 'love n light' is just plastering over the cracks.
Then you have these people that are now addicted to plant medicines, where a trip to the Amazon is now like a pilgramage to Mecca. Take a cup of Ayahuascha with a shaman who went on a 2 week training course in London and your betrayal and abandonment wounds will heal over night! You know what oftentimes it has the exact opposite effect. As a psychotherapist and energy healer I deal with many a client that has gone to take some jungle juice only to reopen old wounds and feels worse, along with opening themselves up spiritualy for a whole host of entity attachments to invade!
Again Im not saying that its all bad, or even that you can't have useful experiences. But these things are not the answer. REAL healing takes months, maybe even years for some. It takes hardcore dedication, tears, pain, and a relentless will to get THROUGH to the otherside. This is why most people don't want to do it. They want to sit there in lotus and hope it will all drift away, which is the classic spiritual bypass.
Please don't be one of these people, by all means use these methods but don't rely on them to plaster over your wounds. Do the necessary work, even though its hard it is so incredibly worth it in the end. TRUE and AUTHENTIC joy and happiness can come from facing the 'dark night of the soul' don't sell yourself short.

You're right. So many look for the easy way out rather than deal with the issues. So if they can avoid them in anyway necessary they do. Then that one day comes and they don't understand what's going on.
Mindfulness, meditation, yoga and so for are not the 'healing' methods that so many believe them to...they are coping mechanisms. Positive coping mechanisms, rather than turning to numbing methods. Clear your head from the issue at hand so you can focus on the issue and work your way through it. Help calm oneself when anxiety hits 'out of nowhere' The last thing anyone wants is a panic attack with lots of people around.
Absolutely my friend. Unless you go to the root cause of the problem then it doesnt matter how much yoga you do! The wounds are still there.
If you don't think you can get to the root causes through shamanic healings practices, perhaps you haven't experience real shamanism. What do you think traditional cultures have used to heal their illnesses (physical, emotional, spiritual) for thousands of years? Therapy? Ayahuasca is what the locals in the Amazon use to heal trauma (among other things).
And as far as yoga and meditation, well if you follow ANY of these paths deeply enough you will come to great healing. Yes if meditation is something you do for 10 minutes to relax your body, it will have a very limited benefit. If you use it as a life-long practice to transform your consciousness, the results will be very different.
The issue is not the modality, it is the superficial orientation modern people have to them. frankly, it is just as superficial to say "ah, yoga is for new age putzes" as it is to be a naive new ager that thinks 1x/week yoga poses is going to heal their core wounds....
New age was a thing , until i found it was only all about ME , egocentric , and yes telling lies to oneself , like solving a conflict by starring at a point , feeling good about that and ignore the problems . mostly resolving in to ignoring the person they have conflict with .
Cause New age tells that YOU have to be in control .
New age creates only more separation between the common people .
feeding the hierarchic pyramid structure we are already forced to live in .
It's not about me , it's about all of us !
One of us can't cross that river , only we all together can ,..... make it a better world ;-)
There is nothing worse than spiritual ego my friend!
Thank you for touching upon this important subject.
The new age movement can be a minefield, full of traps that present themselves as answers when in reality it is another web, shielding a person from facing themselves and their reality.
There are plenty of tools within the new age movement that are useful, but the outcome is ultimately dependent upon how a person uses it.
Absolutely!

Ok now having seen your website, I find it hard to take anyone seriously when they state that the world is secretly being controlled by the Rothchilds by manipulation the frequency of music to control our minds.... Sounds like someone has been drinking too much ayahuasca or is off their anti-psychotic meds... Jesus fucking christ...
