energy medicine

It depends how far you take it.

yoga on a basic level is simply a form of exercise. It does not have to go deeper than that.

Yoga is from the hindu culture. The spiritual part of it is dangerous because it follows much of the Hindu practices. At least at its deepest level, much is done like this.

On a basic spiritual level even, it can be a simple mind body connection. I am not sure of the specifics on Church teaching. I would simply use common sense. You know God exists, don't let anyone tell you he doens't. Do not let go of the church doctrine and you are fine.

That doesn't mean that all yoga classes and stuff are good, some teachers really stress the spiritual side. Much of the time you should stay away from them, but the simply practice isn't anything wrong.

Well now we were talking about reiki a little bit and then some yoga now.

If you mean defining energy medicine that is kind of difficult. Biofield therapy is specifically what i was referencing however, it might have been to specific. Energy medicine in general includes many so called "new age" therapies like reiki, healing touch, tai chi, actupunture, and others.

If that helps some.

any time you take God out of the equation, it's a bad thing. or rather...when you exclude Him i suppose. acupuncture really isn't about God but it doesn't mean it worked independently of Him.

acupuncture, as a part of my culture...i've gotta vouch for it. that stuff, and herbal medicine and stuff. God gave us these things, so i think we should use them as long as we do not do things in the name of anyone but God.

i'm not making sense...it's 1:30 and i have school in the morning...

I understood what you were saying. I was just wondering how far down you had to look to find this thread. Maybe now though people will want to talk about it.

I still wonder about it a lot.
