The Spiritual Dangers of New Age Healing and the Call to Biblical Discernment

Show Summary

Many women are understandably cautious about big pharmaceutical companies and aspects of Western medicine. Yet that concern is often exploited by New Age spirituality, drawing people into practices that appear harmless but can be spiritually dangerous. In this episode of New Age to Christ, a former New Age teacher and healer explains why practices such as Reiki, energy healing, EFT tapping, past-life regression, and trance-based therapies are not spiritually neutral. These practices often lead people deeper into deception through unbiblical evangelism, occult practices, and pagan spirituality. Scripture calls believers to be sober-minded, discerning, and anchored in Christ, remembering that true healing, lasting peace, and eternal hope are found in the gospel of Jesus Christ alone.
