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.

The Chris Lawson SRN bookstore offers crucial research documentation addressing pressing Church issues. The resources found here will help equip you to discern between truth and error in today's confusing spiritual landscape.
The insightful documentation in our bookstore is further confirmed by three other resources we are working on: SpiritJournaling.com, DangersOfYoga.com, and my main research site, SpiritualResearchNetwork.org. These websites are designed to help educate and empower you as you address dangerous teachings and practices in the Church.
The SpiritJournaling.com website serves a vital purpose as it exposes and warns about the dangers of occult/spiritistic practices in the world and the Church. This cautionary resource is designed to keep you aware and vigilant against these dangerous spiritual threats. One of the massive dangers coming against the Christian Church today is the onslaught of unbiblical, telepathic, and sensory-oriented "messages from Jesus." Sarah Young's Jesus Calling Series is just one of these of spiritistic deceptions.
The 45 million plus readers of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling devotional series have no idea that there are 50 Occult training principles embedded throughout the Jesus Calling Series. Brenna E. Scott's eight-year book research project reveals these principles that are 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: 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 psychics, telepathy, clairaudience, clairsentience, and even necromancy (communicating with the dead). The first chapter of The Titanic and Today's Church—A Tale of Two Shipwrecks gives an example of a variation of necromancy that Pastor Steve Berger and his wife Sarah have been promoting for many years. See Dead Men Talking: Necromancy In Today's Church.
The products in our bookstore are designed to inspire and motivate believers to stand firm in the Gospel's truth and uphold the Word of God. This empowerment will help you stay strong in your Christian faith, unwavering in the face of spiritual challenges.
