New Age health and wellness is basically a merging of East and West, with Eastern philosophies, religions and healing modalities, mixed with Western philosophies and religion. Much of the Eastern healing modalities have been shunned by Western medicine, and have been adopted by the New Age movement. While Eastern healing modalities have much to offer, they, like Western healing, are all based in denial, denial and suppression of feelings and emotions.. While some New Age practitioners claim they’re providing a wholistic service, they’re not, as they are only dealing with the symptoms and not the cause.
