Alternative Therapies

Benign vs. Malignant Therapies

When you discuss alternative and complimentary therapies, its important to distiguish between those that are practiced without reference to the occult and are perfectly safe and those that are spiritually dangerous and suck people into their indidious grasp. From my work as a chaplain, I have had the opportunity to observe both of these types of alternative therapies at work from a first-hand perspective.

Amongst others, there are three alternative therapies that are completely safe and simply based on creatvivity, nature and God -given talent. The first of these is Art Therapy. Art is used in different ways to ease patient anxiety either by displaying art in the patient's room, or helping them to express their own creativity through art. A second therapy is Animal Therapy. Many times this invloves visits by specially trained dogs and cats that will jump up on patient's beds and show them affection. One hospital I am familiar with had a minature pony that would roam the halls visiting patients. The third therapy is music therapy. Music therapy usually involves playing an intrument or sining. I have seen therapist play piano, guitar and even the harp to help parients relax nd feel more at peace.

Three malignant therapies that are the focal point of my book are Reiki, Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch. Each of these is closely connected to eastern religion. The first two draw heavily upon Buddhism while Therapeutic Touch is based on Hindu beliefs and practices. All of them are spiritually at odds with Christianty denying the essentials of faith in Christ. All of them are steeped in occult practices including contact with the dead, spirit guides and the spirits of intimate objects such as trees and animals. It doesn't take long for the Christian to see why these therapies should be avoided at all costs.
