subject: New Age Healing Can Provide Treatment Through Psychic Readings [print this page] Growing interest in spirituality, along with the high cost and mechanized dehumanizing of conventional medicine in the late 20th century, spurred the development of alternative forms of health care. While the term New Age healing was given to many of these methods including herbal remedies and acupuncture, the fact is that most of what's termed "New Age" are simply practices that have existed for centuries and been rediscovered in the quest for holistic health.
Since New Age healing goes beyond the detection of physical symptoms as with conventional medicine, psychic readings frequently are used as a diagnostic technique. These readings first help healers determine the source of the physical or mental illness, and then provide guidance as to what types of treatment will relieve the problem.
Psychic healers use many tools for diagnostic purposes. Like conventional medical doctors perform a physical examination, psychic healers may conduct a kind of spiritual examination. Frequently a psychic will pass his or her hands just above a person's body in order to determine disruptions in their spiritual aura. In Chinese medicine this method could test a person's "chi", of life energy, while in traditional Vedic (Hindu) medicine, the psychic would test the seven "chakra" or energy centers of a person's body and mind.
Psychic readings such as these often prove beneficial for many people, especially those who suffer from illnesses affected by stress. For instance, diabetics often find that their blood sugar levels drop when they're under stress. A psychic healer can help such patients determine if there are any subconscious or unresolved emotional or spiritual issues that are complicating their physical disease. By determining a patient's spiritual health, practitioners of New Age healing can recommend ways to relieve the underlying psychic issues as well.
Ironically, the success and popularity of this alternative health care such has had an effect on conventional medicine as well. While few medical doctors regularly engage the serves of a psychic healer, many are now taking stock of their patients' emotional and spiritual health as well as their physical ailments.
Despite the continued skepticism about the effectiveness of psychic readings and New Age healing, many people find that these practices work well for them. Just like medical specialists, a skilled psychic healer can help sufferers identify the non-physical factors that are compounding their physical illness.
One stereotype regarding psychic healers that needs to be discarded has to do with their use of crystal balls. A crystal ball is nothing more than a device to help focus spiritual energy. Since a psychic's "sixth sense" is spiritual energy, the crystal ball serves as a tool for diagnosis in the same way an X-ray can find illnesses in a patient's lungs or a blood test can determine whether a patient's blood sugar is too high. There's nothing inherently magical about a crystal, whether it's a large ball or a smaller geometric shape. As with the tools of conventional medicine, what matters is the practitioner's ability to recognize and interpret what he or she finds.
Once a psychic reading helps determine the source of a patient's problem, New Age healing practices help to relieve the symptoms and put the sufferer back on the road to total health. These recommendations often include the use of natural herbs and other homeopathic remedies, along with such additional techniques as diet, deep breathing, meditation and yoga. In some cases, such as diabetes, cancer or chronic pain, the holistic methods of New Age healing are combined with traditional medical treatments to care for the spiritual being as well as the physical body.
