Both of the guests were involved in the New Age, but left it as they became believers in Jesus Christ.
Healing Techniques that come from Eastern Mysticism have emerged from being little-known, fringe alternatives to traditional health care, have now moved into the mainstream Today these are becoming common, even in some long-standing, traditional clinics, and some doctors are prescribing that these techniques be used on their patients.
Acupuncture--based on "Chi" which believes in invisible channels through which flow invisible energy, and thie idea of acupuncture is to open up these channels, which have no relationship to the physiology of the body itself.
Yoga--many forms, but all come out of Hinduism. The positions are prayer positions, and the mantras are the names of Hindu gods. Nevertheless, now Yoga has been embraced by some Christians who believe that they can replace the eastern religious implications with Christian ones.
Also discussed were such terms as "tapping", "attitudinal healing", "Reiki", "Reflexology", "praise moves", "breahwork", "Cranial Sacral", "Rolphing", and "myofascial release, among others.
