THE TRUTH ABOUT ENERGY HEALING
Booklet by Ray Yungen
New Agers and occultists believe that man has more than one body, and that there are other invisible bodies superimposed on the physical body. They refer to one of these as the etheric body and believe there lies within it energy centers called chakras (pronounced shock-ras). The term chakra means whirling wheel in Sanskrit, the ancient Hindu language. They were seen by those with clairvoyant powers as spinning balls of psychic energy. It is taught that there are seven chakras, which start at the base of the spine and end at the crown chakra at the top of the head.
Each chakra is supposed to have a different function corresponding to certain levels of awareness. The chakras act as conduits or conductors for what is called kundalini or serpent energy. They say this force lies coiled but dormant at the base of the spine like a snake. When awakened during meditation, it is supposed to travel up the spine, activating each chakra as it surges upward. When the kundalini force hits the crown chakra, the person experiences enlightenment or Self-realization. This mystical current results in the person knowing himself to be God. That is why kundalini is sometimes referred to as the divine energy. According to New Age proponents, all meditative methods involve energy and power, and the greater the power, the greater the experience.
Basically, what all energy healing entails is opening up the chakras through meditation or transferring the kundalini power from someone already attuned to it:
At the sixth chakra, a person opens to a higher level of intuition and inner guidance. At the seventh, the person feels a sense of merging with Spirit.2
I want people to know that energy healing is fundamentally supernatural in nature. It is not based on something physically tangible as massage or chiropractic. The chakras are not something you can open up surgically and look at like you can the physical organs like the heart or spleen.
The chakra system is the basis for virtually all energy-healing techniques. In energy healing, the power is channeled into the patient, thus bringing about the desired wellness and wholeness of the person receiving it. Currently, there are a number of energy-healing systems. Although they have different names, the energy that they use is from the same source.

Spiritual Research Network, LLC, is an independent Christian outreach committed first and foremost to the Lord Jesus Christ and the integrity of His Word. The Spiritual Research Network (SRN) outreach aims to help equip the Church, encourage biblical discernment, and evangelize the lost.
Feel free to contact me through my Spiritual Research Network website. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. For more information about my various websites and activities, please see the About Us page at SRN, my Audio and Video pages, and my Missions/Support website, LawsonChristopher.org.
DONATIONS to my research and work are sincerely appreciated. They help tremendously keep our websites online. Thank you very much for your contribution.
The Chris Lawson SRN bookstore offers crucial research on pressing Church issues. Its resources will help you discern truth and error in today's confusing spiritual landscape. For further documentation and resources, visit my social media accounts and three biblical discernment theology websites, SpiritJournaling.com, DangersOfYoga.com, and SpiritualResearchNetwork.org.
The SpiritJournaling.com website, in particular, serves a vital purpose by exposing and warning against the dangers of occult/spiritistic practices in the world and the Church. This website will help you know the spiritual hazards of the Jesus Calling Series and how to stand against this dangerous threat. It will also help you not be misled by the massive onslaught of unbiblical, occult, telepathic, sensory-oriented "messages" from unbiblical spiritual entities that masquerade as "Jesus." The "Jesus" of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling Series is one of these dangerous spiritistic false Christ deceptions. The proof is in her writings.
Sadly, the 45 million-plus readers of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling devotional series have no idea that 50 Occult training principles are embedded throughout the Series. Brenna E. Scott's eight-year book research project reveals these principles in Sarah Young's books. At SpiritJournaling.com, Brenna's book can be read online for FREE. Hard copies can be obtained from our store. Click Christian Journaling or Psychic Channeling?: A Critical Comparison of the Jesus Calling Series with Occult Training Literature.
Some of the more glaring examples of dangerous occult influences entering the Church are "Christianized" versions of psychic methodologies, such as telepathy, clairaudience, clairsentience, and even necromancy (communicating with the dead). One such example can be found in the first chapter of Warren B. Smith's book, The Titanic and Today's Church—A Tale of Two Shipwrecks. This chapter warns about a variation of necromancy that Pastor Steve Berger and his wife Sarah have been promoting for many years. See these two booklets, Dead Men Talking: Necromancy In Today's Church and Promise Keepers, Steve Berger, and the Dangerous Implications of Ignoring Necromancy in the Church.
I hope the products in my bookstore will inspire and motivate you to stand firm in God's truth as you trust Him and share His gospel of hope and salvation with others.
Committed first and foremost to the Lord Jesus Christ and the integrity of His Word, the primary goal of Spiritual Research Network (SRN) is twofold:
to Proclaim the Gospel and Encourage Biblical Discernment, and
to Research, Inform, and Warn of the dangers of cults, spiritual abuse, and mystical/occult-based spirituality.
