By Anita Dalton


The development of life here on Earth has led lots of people to be disconnected from nature and from their very own spirituality. Given the chaotic history of our kind, many individuals have found themselves lost in the middle of technological advances and materialistic facets of our existence. These days many individuals query the validity of the beliefs our ancestors imposed on us and question whether they're actually the answers to the most important inquiries of our existence. The rise of the New Age movement has given us a renewed sense of spirituality that is not only primarily based on a single dogma or spiritual belief; rather, in the commonly known fact that we're all connected, not just with our fellow humans, but with the entirety of the universe.

The upward thrust of New Age movement opened new doors to the acknowledgment of both ancient and recent convictions in order to achieve the best of our potentials. In terms of life and spirituality, the new age movement generally sees man?s oneness with the whole universe. Our lives and our destiny are somehow intertwined with the other elements here on Earth and the unearthly world. One of the most popular aspects popularized by the New Age belief is the use of astrology in understanding ourselves and profiling different personalities. Though horoscopes have been a favored source of superstitions, it is believed that the movement of the stars and the energy can affect everybody the events in our lives, how we behave and even our decisions.

Alternative drugs are also one of the popular practice in the New Age movement. More than the physical healing, spiritual healing is considerably emphasized in the feat of holistic health. The usage of herbal and organic elements to alleviate folk of pains and ailments have been embraced. Along with that, the use of other traditional remedies like acupuncture and exposing of natural energies to help us in our spiritual and physical well- being also became preferred.

Crystals and energy vortex are also explored in connection to the energies they release and how they may benefit us in terms of having holistic health. Hypnosis and energy channeling have become helpful alternatives in conditioning physical bodies in order to achieve a fitter and more profitable state.

Though the New Age movement may vary in terms of practice and not confined in a unified dogma, the goal is usually to find a sense of balance in our physical and spiritual lives. With most of its practices leaning towards being one and connected with the world, a person can harness its total potential by drumming the energy connection with nature and all the stuff around us. It also promotes a larger sense of awareness and understanding of who we are and what we are outside the established image and standing brought by religion and society.
