The CANA ministry receives many questions about vibrations and frequencies. There are two major categories to address:
- Claims that attuning to certain vibrations is healing and/or that an object with supposed vibrations can heal.
- The idea of vibrations in creation coming from God, often based on the idea that when God spoke and created the world, he allegedly imbued creation with his “vibrations” or “energy.”
This article is closely related to the CANA article on Tibetan Singing Bowls, to the one on beliefs about energy and the life force, and to a section (New Age Pseudoscience) in the article on The Physics of Heaven . Some material from those articles is in this one. Not every aspect of this area could be covered but links are given in the article and at the end to further information.
Vibrations and Healing
I am using “vibrations” and “frequencies” interchangeably since the same idea is behind both terms, and they are both linked to New Age and occult concepts of “energy.” Two points need to be made:
First, there are organic vibrations and frequencies that are part of creation, such as sound waves and electrical energy. These can be quantified and measured. If any vibration like this is used, such as ultrasonic waves used to shatter kidney stones, it is based on scientific and objective data. Very specific and complex knowledge for such use is required. The same goes for the use of electricity. This is not analogous to the claims for vibrational healing in New Age perspectives, although the New Age will appropriate such information to support its spiritually based ideas, as is explained in the next point.
The second point that needs to be emphasized, is that the New Age conflates and confuses the known vibrations in creation with supposed supernatural vibrations and frequencies. New Age and pseudoscience extrapolate physical data to the supernatural realm, which is bogus. There is no hard data that such frequencies or vibrations exist, but they are discussed as though they do, and as though they operate like the known organic vibrations in creation. This is because everything in the New Age is spiritual.
New Age Energy and God’s Creation
The New Age view is that a divine energy connects everything and everyone, and this energy flows through all creation. Everything is energy, and frequencies and vibrations indicate spiritual and health status as well as affecting spirituality and health. The image for this article is a quote from Hindu guru Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952), whose books influenced me deeply when I was in the New Age. Vibrations as Yogananda taught them are perceived as having a spiritual nature, part of the vibrating divine energy that unites all matter in the universe.
Similar to Yogananda, esoteric teacher Edgar Cayce believed that “Life — God – in its essence – is vibration.” Such views are common among teachers of esoteric, occult, and New Age based beliefs. This has entered the Christian church in the idea that when God spoke creation into existence, vibrations or frequencies from God in his words were imbued into creation (this is also taught in the Kabbalah). It is similar to the idea of God’s breath being in the universe and in humans since Scripture states that God breathed life into man, which is addressed here and further expanded on in this article.
However, God is not made up of vibrations or “energy” and he does not have part of himself in creation. If God were part of creation, that would be panentheism, the view that God is contained in the universe and the universe is in God, with God also transcending the world. But God is uncreated. Everything that is God is in God. Christians have the indwelling Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit does not merge with a person; the Spirit remains distinct from the person. In the same way, God is omnipresent but he is distinct from creation. This topic is too complex to delve into here, so please read a book like All That Is in God or God Without Parts, both by James Dolezal (or see links to videos of Dr. Dolezal at end).
God and Vibration/Life in Man
The idea has grown that since God breathed life into man, man has some of God in him. This links to the New Age belief that everything is energy. This is becoming an increasingly accepted idea in the culture and from Christian sources.
The fact that electrons and whatnot are always moving and that solid matter is made up of electrons does not mean that solid things are actually not solid or real. It is not true that we are really “just energy.” The New Age views this energy as spiritual but they misuse the facts of physics to support the spiritual belief.
God created the bodies of Adam and Eve and gave them life. Their bodies were solid, they were not just energy. Jesus incarnated and had/has a real human body. The biblical data supports the reality that we are in solid bodies. It would take a nuclear explosion to convert the body into “energy” and then it would still be physical components that are part of creation (the spirit would of course not be destroyed or turned into “energy”).
The New Age believes that since everything is energy, our vibration level is important physically and spiritually. So certain diets and practices, such as Eastern meditation, are followed in order to “raise” one’s vibration or frequency. Having been in the New Age, I can understand New Agers embracing this. However, Christians have fallen for deception if they agree. I was appalled to find this in a Christian blog:
“So, if earth is at a lower frequency, and God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9), it makes sense that raising our vibration might get us ‘closer to God’, (in a relationship sense, not a Tower of Babel sense) and may even be key to help seeing in the Spirit (this is allowing God to open the eyes of our heart). He says that when we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. (James 4:8). So, step one is to raise our natural frequency through better health and supplementation. Step Two: Raise our Spiritual frequency…[…]… Sin separates us from God, literally (Isaiah 59:2). And sin carries its own frequency, which is lower than anything in the heavenly realms. When Adam sinned, and “fell”, He may have actually fallen to a lower vibrational frequency plane (an image God gave me, not Scripture, just my personal revelation).”
I have to wonder how the blogger knows what the vibration of sin is (though it is preposterous that sin would even have a vibration). Whatever vibration anything might possess, it has nothing to do with healing or spirituality. The blogger makes the same mistake New Agers make in conflating organic data with spiritual meaning. Furthermore, nothing in God’s word or in God’s creation leads to any evidence for ideas such as this.
God is uncreated and does not have vibrations or frequencies. God is spirit and invisible in contrast to creatures who have bodies (although angels do not have physical bodies like humans, they have some kind of form or body). All one day will have resurrected bodies after death, although only Christians will have glorified resurrected bodies (John 5:28-30, 1 Cor. 15:35-52, Rev. 20:11-15). The point is that humans will have bodies even after death; humans do not become spirits or “energy.” There is nothing spiritual about a human becoming discarnate “energy.”
The “Energy Field”
A component of the beliefs about vibrations and energy and a basis for many “alternative” modalities, is the false idea that humans have an energy field, which is a popular New Age belief. A description of the book, Hands of Light,” by Barbara Brennan, states:
“Our physical bodies exist within a larger “body,” a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves. This energy body, only recently verified by scientists but long known to healers and mystics, is the starting point of all illness.”
The statement that the “energy body” has been “verified by scientists” is false. It is common for the New Age to claim its methods are scientific, which is highly ironic given that the New Age views science as woefully inadequate if not outright contemptible. This also applies to their views of medicine, reason, and logic, all of which are seen as part of the “Western” mindset. Superior to the West, in the New Age mind, are “Eastern,” ancient, and indigenous beliefs. The reason for this is because those beliefs are anchored in pagan spirituality.
However, the energy field is a false concept:
“Human bodies do not have an energy field: in fact there’s not even any such thing as an energy field. Fields are constructs in which some direction or intensity is measured at every point: gravity, wind, magnetism, some expression of energy.
Energy is just a measurement; it doesn’t exist on its own as a cloud or a field or some other entity. The notion that frequencies can interact with the body’s energy field is, as the saying goes, so wrong it’s not even wrong.” (Source)
Not only do human bodies not have energy fields, but the notion that “frequencies” interact with a person’s so-called “energy field” is therefore rendered false. Almost all New Age healing concepts collapse in light of this fact.
Linen and the Bad Witness for Christ
The ongoing falsehood circulating among Christians about vibrations in linen being superior and/or healing is based on occult concepts about objects. Let’s call a spade a spade. Linen has nothing to do with healing or one’s spiritual status and there is zero evidence for it. This is blatant occult manipulation based on false concepts. In fact, two comments about this on Reddit, one from a witch and one from a New Ager, who are commenting on the news that Christians are promoting this idea, are quite revealing:
“I identify as a witch and this is definitely the kind of stuff that goes around my circles. So […bad word deleted] weird Christians just straight up strap other belief systems and claim it’s from their god.”
“It’s very new age and not Christian at all. I’m a new-ager myself, so I’m not dumping in new age beliefs (although I am aware that many people in this sub don’t like that stuff) however, the new age “religion” is exactly what they are supposed to be against.”
It is a sad judgment on the church when a witch and a New Ager recognize these ideas as not being Christian more than many Christians do. This idea about linen and similar beliefs are a bad witness for Christ because New Agers and witches and former New Agers like myself see it for what it is. The idea of the vibrations and energy of objects somehow having healing or spiritual effects is a pagan worldview.
I did a Facebook post on the linen issue and the “doctor” (Heidi Yellin) who claimed to have done studies on how linen has healing benefits. I was unable to find any credentials for Yellen or any supporting studies to verify her claims. The little I did find was that she seemed to be into mystical ideas.
An article on this from Women of Grace, which monitors New Age ideas, writes about this and quotes me (they also quote me on some other New Age topics):
“Research into the background of Dr. Heidi Yellen turned up nothing on her credentials or background and led me into sites dealing with Torah research.
Another researcher, Marcia Montenegro of Christian Answers for the New Age also got nowhere when trying to find more out about Dr. Yellen.
‘The alleged scientific study refers to studies by a ‘Jewish doctor, Heidi Yellen,’ which refers back to other dubious sounding studies, none of which indicated any scientific verifiability. When I tried to find the credentials for Yellen or what the ‘Dr.’ referred to, it took me into strange places, including a site that was blocked by my computer as dangerous. Another site gave anecdotes about how putting linen on wounds or sick people healed them. I felt like ‘Alice in Insane Linen-land’, Montenegro reports.
There does not appear to be any other studies confirming Dr. Yellen’s findings and the only other proof given consumers by Life-giving Linen are user testimonials which are essentially useless.
Ellison goes on to cite the work of Dr. Royal Raymond Rife who asserted that diseases can be diagnosed by the frequencies they emit and that by feeding the body with the proper vibrations they can be cured. He called his pseudoscience “radionics” and invented the Rife Machine which allegedly generated corrective frequencies.
Ellison also writes about the biblical significance of the use of linen as if inclusion in the Bible should make it the fabric-of-choice for the Christian au naturel crowd.
I can’t help but agree with Montenegro who wonders if anyone has really thought about that statement. ”Have they perhaps considered that linen is mentioned because there were not a lot of choices at the time? There was no polyester, rayon, or other synthetics at the time. Silk was too expensive for most people.”
In other words, linen wasn’t a super-fabric in Biblical days, it was one of the only fabrics available at the time.
It’s also important to note that most of the sites I visited that are selling linen products for their alleged “frequency” superiority are heavily invested in other New Age practices such as Reiki, aromatherapy, iridology.”
The reference to Rife is further evidence of the linen idea as invalid since Rife has been debunked over and over. There is a vast pseudoscientific field founded on the discredited field of Radionics (such as the Rife machine) claiming to diagnose or treat illnesses with machines that read “vibrations” or “frequencies.” These machines are found under a variety of names, such as the Zyto Scanner, Electromagnetic Pulse machines, Bemer machines, with new ones popping up regularly.
Yet thousands of products today based on Rife’s ideas proliferate among “alternative healers,” including chiropractors, Naturopaths, “natural healers,” “holistic healers,” and the like. These devices allegedly scan a person to supposedly diagnose various illnesses, as well as often recommending supplements. They are all bogus. Practitioners are taking people’s money and trust based on falsehoods, as well as possibly damaging people’s health.
Sound Baths
When I was in the New Age, we heard and read about Lemuria, an ancient civilization that supposedly used sound for healing and even for building things. These tales were intriguing. Therapies based on sound or vibrations were often supported by reference to the mythical Lemuria as well as to vibrations of plants.
The promoter of one sound bath enterprise states:
“This is an unforgettable sound experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and introspection. All Sound Baths are 60-minute sonic healing sessions that consist of 25 minutes of crystal bowls played live and the balance of the hour to integrate the sound and relax in the sound chamber to recorded music.
You will be resting comfortably in the deeply resonant, multi-wave sound chamber while a sequence of quartz crystal singing bowls are played, each one keyed to the energy centers or chakras of the body, where sound is nutrition for the nervous system. The results are waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind and body.”
The obsession for relaxation and “healing” is leading many to a false peace, which can have a high spiritual cost. This is based on belief in the healing energy of sounds, balancing your energies, the chakras, and vibrations.
The concept of “we are all energy” has led to this obsession with vibrations and how we can balance, raise, purify, change our “vibrations.” Here is a statement from a Naturopathy site that sounds good but is New Age:
“Vibrational Medicine is based on the scientific principles that all matter in the universe vibrates at a specific and precise frequency and that by using resonant vibrations, balance of matter can be restored.”
Notice the phrase, “balance of matter can be restored.” This is the tip-off that it is New Age and spiritual. “Balance,” a favorite New Age word, is vague and means nothing medical in this context. The claim that this is based on “scientific principles” is false. Those who promote it may view it that way because for them, anything they believe is scientific. I was in the New Age for over 20 years and I know how people who believe this way think. All terms are loose and can mean anything one wishes them to mean.
Sound therapy and vibrational healing or vibrational medicine are no more legitimate and no less New Age (and in reality, occultic) than energy healing. Listening to music or sounds (birds, rain, the ocean, wind chimes, etc.) to relax can be done normally; no one needs a “sound bath.”
Vitalism
The concept of Vitalism became the basis of many healing modalities in the 18th and 19th centuries. While it does not overtly relate to vibrations and frequencies, it is related due to being part of alternative healing views that also embrace the views of vibrations and frequencies, so there is a lot of cross-over. The terms “innate intelligence” or “wisdom of the body” are often used. As one article explains, Vitalism is
a philosophy that the human body has an innate intelligence that governs all areas of health. This intelligence, or vital force, is found in the physical tissues, mental processes, emotional health and spirit and can heal a great many ailments when given the opportunity. When the vital force is not able to express to its fullest potential, disease begins to show up. This often begins in the emotional/spiritual body and then moves into physical expression.
Note that the belief is that illness originates in the so-called “emotional/spiritual body.” This pagan notion that is the basis for most New Age healing is in two parts:
1) That the origin of illness is outside the body in the spirit, mind, or in the “invisible self” (the energy or the subtle self made up of invisible components) and so a spiritually based solution must be used; and
2) The concept of the “emotional” and “spiritual body” posits that more than one “body” exists (and must be treated in order to heal the physical body). These beliefs have no basis in facts or in God’s word. This is why almost all so-called alternative treatments are spiritually based.
Belief in the vital force or life force cannot be reconciled with biblical teaching. This life force cannot be seen, measured, tracked, or verified. It is a false spiritual belief. Yet many treatments are based on this concept, and that this force can become blocked and/or there can be imbalance of energies that need balancing. Using certain methods or foods supposedly trigger this force to flow in the body by unblocking it and balancing the energies, thus healing the illness or injury.
A good example of this is polarity therapy:
Polarity therapy is referred to as “energy medicine” because it uses several techniques to influence energy flow and energy balance in the body. Practitioners believe that energy imbalances, disturbances, or blockages result in disease and can be corrected.
My chiropractor used polarity therapy on me. It is very common in the New Age. I was told by the chiropractor that it would “balance” the flow of energy in my body. I believed this because I had the New Age view of the body, that I was in essence made up of energy and that imbalance could lead to illness.
Vitalism and “energy medicine” is the basis for homeopathy, chiropractic, “natural healing,” and, under the name of chi or qi from Taoism, is the same concept which underlies acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu, cupping, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tapping/EFT, and others.
The belief that the body is self-healing is based on it having an innate intelligence. This is especially true in Chiropractic, Naturopathy, and among “natural” or holistic” healers.
The body is not self—healing except in minor and self-limiting illnesses and bodily injuries. Serious illnesses and bodily damage need treatment that is tested and based on objective data. The idea of “natural” and “holistic” healing is not harmless; in fact, is very harmful because a serious illness could be untreated and lead to worse problems or even to death. The term “non-invasive,” so beloved among these healers, is invasive to the mind because it is deceptive.
The Bible does not support the view that the body is self-healing. In fact, it is quite clear that sin has corrupted creation, including the body. The mortal body is subject to illness, and is perishing, growing weaker over time. “Natural” and “holistic” healing are terms and ideas straight out of the New Age. “Natural” has no standard or validity and “holistic” stems from a New Age view of the body.
While possibly some helpful dietary advice can be given by “natural healers” (this term includes Naturopaths), this bit of help is tiny compared to the larger harm that can be done, whether financially or physically.

432 HZ, Solfeggio Frequencies, and the Schumann Resonance
432 HZ
The claims about vibrations and frequencies have led to extraordinary pseudoscientific claims. Some of these are that listening to music at 432 HZ is healing and even engenders feelings of love. This article debunks such claims as well as others:
“Reuters found no documented evidence that ancient cultures tuned their music to A=432Hz, as the meme alleges.
Armand D’Angour ( here ), professor at Jesus College at the University of Oxford, whose research has focused on ancient Greek music ( here ) told Reuters the claim is unfounded.
‘We don’t know the absolute pitches of ancient strings, which in any case would have been variable depending on resources, location, circumstances etc. It is a fantasy to suggest that we know that any tuning was pinpointed as A=432Hz,’ D’Angour said.
Heidi Köpp-Junk, Assistant Professor in Egyptian Archaeology at the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures, Polish Academy of Sciences Warsaw ( here ) also said ‘there is no evidence’ that instruments in ancient Egypt were tuned to A=432Hz.”
Solfeggio Frequencies
Solfeggio Frequencies are referred to in connection with healing with sound. This idea is widespread in the New Age (and online). No solid scientific evidence exists for healing with Solfeggio Frequencies.
Because the explanations for Solfeggio Frequencies sound so intricate and scientific, people are led to believe there must be truth in it. Claims are made that Solfeggio Frequencies can regenerate the body, remove toxins, and remove negativity, but these claims are baseless.
The Schumann Resonance
The Schumann Resonance is used in the New Age to give credibility to beliefs about vibrations. The claim for this is that the earth vibrates at this level (Schumann Resonance) and that humans can vibrate in harmony with this resonance to achieve better health and peace.
A chapter in The Physics of Heaven states that the brain waves of “psychics, shamans, Christian faith healers, Hawaiian Kahunas, etc….during healing moments” become synchronized with the earth’s geoelectric micropulsations – the Schumann resonance” (p. 40).
Aside from the troubling fact that the author includes the brain waves of psychics and shamans with Christian faith healers, it seems that the author is presenting the idea that healing is based on a natural phenomenon of nature. This would, of course, rule out healing miracles being from God.
A claim is made in the same book that the Schumann Resonance is “essential to the life processes and health of organisms.” On page 95, the writer refers to the “earth’s vibrational frequency.”
However, the Schumann resonance is a product
“of the physical dimensions of the space between the surface of the Earth and the ionosphere.
Every planet and moon that has an ionosphere has its own set of Schumann resonances defined by the planet’s size…..[snip]…7.83 Hz has a wavelength of about 38,000 kilo
meters. This is about the circumference of the Earth, which is why its atmospheric cavity resonates at that frequency.” From Facts and Fiction of the Schumann Resonance by Brian Dunning
The Schuman Resonance is not put out by nor has anything to do with the earth or with humans. It is a measurement having to do with the space around the earth (and other celestial bodies) due to the circumference of the earth. Therefore, it cannot exist with humans. We do not have a circumference of 38,000 kilometers.
The Schuman Resonance is also used to promote Power Bracelets and Binaural Beats:
A notable example is the Power Balance bracelets. Tom O’Dowd, formerly the Australian distributor, said that the mylar hologram resonated at 7.83 Hz.
When the bracelet was placed within the body’s natural energy field, the resonance would [supposedly] “reset” your energy field to that frequency…[…]…
First of all, 7.83 Hz has a wavelength of about 38,000 kilometers. This is about the circumference of the Earth, which is why its atmospheric cavity resonates at that frequency. 38,000 kilometers is WAY bigger than a bracelet!
There’s no way that something that tiny could resonate such an enormous wavelength. O’Dowd’s sales pitch was implausible, by a factor of billions, to anyone who understood resonance.
This same fact also applies to the human body. Human beings are so small, relative to a radio wavelength of 38,000 kilometers, that there’s no way our anatomy could detect or interact with such a radio signal in any way.
I was used to the idea in the New Age that energy and biomagnetic fields from human hands can heal. Now it is becoming more accepted in the church.
Here is a refutation of that from Dunning:
Human bodies do not have an energy field: in fact there’s not even any such thing as an energy field. Fields are constructs in which some direction or intensity is measured at every point: gravity, wind, magnetism, some expression of energy.
Energy is just a measurement; it doesn’t exist on its own as a cloud or a field or some other entity. The notion that frequencies can interact with the body’s energy field is, as the saying goes, so wrong it’s not even wrong. From same article as above
All the grandiose talk about the body’s “energy field,” so rife in the New Age and even among Christians, is less than hot air. It is undistilled false hogwash.
The article also points out that binaural beats (“audio recordings which combine two slightly offset frequencies to produce a third phantom beat frequency that is perceived from the interference of the two”) are audio and not radio:
It’s the physical oscillation of air molecules, not the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The two have virtually nothing to do with each other.
So claims for binaural beats based on the idea of electromagnetic waves are false.
Popular Practices With Energy, Vibration, Frequency Beliefs
The New Age energy, which is part of the vibrations and frequencies belief, is found in many pagan beliefs: chi in Taoism, prana in Hinduism, mana in the Pacific, and the life force or vital force in Western vitalism. These all play a part in occult practices as well, and are the basis for sorcery and witchcraft beliefs. They are also the main basis for New Age and occult healing.
These beliefs are the foundation of or are embedded in a wide range of popular therapies offered today:
Applied Kinesiology
Chi therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu, reflexology, Tapping/EFT, cupping, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Cranial Sacral (Also see this article)
Essential Oil energy healing practices
The Healing Codes from Alexander Loyd (not a medical doctor, but a Naturopath who claims God gave him the healing codes over a three hour period while on a plane)
The LifeWave Patch, based in part on the concept of chi in acupressure, being sold and promoted by a Christian, David Schmidt (see next section)
Therapeutic Touch (also called Healing Touch)
Tibetan singing bowls and gongs healing
LifeWave Patch
The LifeWave Patch, also X39, aside from the gave issue with chi, is based on other esoteric ideas. This example is being given to show that when one false idea is used, such as chi and false views of vibrations, frequencies, etc., it is usually not found in isolation, but becomes a package deal with other esoteric notions.
David Schmidt, founder of the Life Wave Patch and related products, talks in a video about light in the DNA and how this light is “coming from the spiritual realm.” That raises red flags. What light is this? How does he know it is from a “spiritual realm,” and if so, why can he see it and nobody else can? How do we know this is from God?
Around 47 minutes, Schmidt talks about God and the Bible. He explains that there is a mathematical code in the Hebrew of the Pentateuch which yields a mathematical sequence when letters are converted to numbers. He states that the code then forms the base of a pyramid “which is Jesus Christ.” And “God the Father” is the “top of the pyramid.” How he came to this conclusion of a pyramid, he does not say. Schmidt then takes the codes and allegedly “converts them to waves of light which brings about a ‘regeneration of cells.’”
What Schmidt is doing is using numerology and reading hidden meanings into Scripture; those are two practices forbidden by God and both are divination. God does not hide so-called codes in Scripture; God’s word is plain and meant to be read for the meaning given in words. God does not play tricks or sneak hidden messages in his word. That is the realm of Gnostics, occultists, and New Agers.
It is bad enough to use the principles of chi and acupressure, but it is far more contemptible to claim the supposed discovery of a hidden code in the Bible, especially to support a bogus product he is making money from. Schmidt has no medical or scientific training or background, but he uses terms as though he does.
What If It Works?
One of the major defenses of such treatments and products are testimonials, that they “work.” However, if such things seem to work, it is due to:
1. The Placebo effect
2. Use of valid products or treatments prior to or during use of the treatment/product
3. Limited nature of most pain and illness; most pain and illnesss, if not chronic, go away without anything being done
4. Demonic (I believe Satan can afflict — see Job chapter 1 and Luke 13:10-17 ) — and then remove the affliction to make something appear healed (see Deut. 13:1-3)
These treatments and products rely on testimonials, and if they refer to studies, either no specific studies are cited, or they are bogus studies: studies conducted by interested parties rather than independent researchers; studies using poor methodology; and/or inconclusive studies.
Assuming that the main criteria should be “does it work?” is a mistake. Many things in the world of the occult and New Age work or seem to work. That does not justify it. If the basis is spiritual — such as what is discussed in this article — then it should be rejected since such spirituality dishonors God and is opposed to him.
New Age ideas about energies and vibrations and healing have a stronghold in the church and are leading to wrong views about the body and health that are overriding a biblical view of the body and creation. Since these practices are spiritually based, aside from any physical harm they may cause, they will by nature attack and undermine Christ and God’s word, albeit subtly and gradually. In fact, this is already happening.

Essential Oils as energy medicine:
“According to some, some essential oils have various effects on each chakra and help balance the chakras. To access the knowledge held inside a chakra centre and to be able to direct highly particular energies toward one’s personal development and healing, people utilise essential oils for chakras. Chakras are energy-spinning wheels and psychic centres that live in the spiritual realm rather than the physical one.
The frequencies in charge of generating human experience are determined by chakras.
By interacting with energy against our will, essential oils are said to help restructure old patterns in our chakras. Essential oils balance the chakras, bringing out the best qualities while balancing the dark sides.”
Christian critique of Alexander Loyd (Healing Codes)
Secular Critique of Loyd’s Healing Codes
Excerpt: “If using a special sequence of words to heal reminds you of Harry Potter and witches’ books of spells, you’re not alone…[…]…
Loyd quotes the ever-enthusiastic but untrustworthy Dr. Oz: “the next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine.” (Sure it is! And the next big frontier in weight loss is this week’s new miracle weight loss product.) He even cites the discoveries of Dr. Masaru Emoto, whose laughable experiments allegedly showed that unpleasant words written on a container of water could change the molecular structure of the water so it would make ugly snowflakes. He claims that stress is the cause of 95% of all illness and disease, that your beliefs control your DNA, and that cancer can be the result of bad cellular memories.
He says his is the only healing modality that combines words, images, and sounds to open all levels of a hidden immune system, to reprogram unhealthy cells into healthy ones, and to unlock the self-healing and self-growth that makes 100% perfect health possible for the first time. He says frequencies are important, and 528 hertz is the frequency of love” [Note: This writer has warned about Dr. Oz, a follower of Swedenborg, as well as Dr. Emoto].
Christian Warning on Chiropractic
Chiropractic from Christian Medical Fellowship
“Naturopathy, defined by the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, is an umbrella term for a host of treatments that adopt a philosophy ‘to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease.’ Problematically, the precise nature of how naturopathy treats the underlying cause of addiction remains unclear and dependent upon the often implausible theoretical rationale for the particular naturopathic treatment. One such treatment is homeopathy, which is a pseudoscientific, widely discredited, and unsafe approach to health, wherein the final product is typically just distilled water. Unfortunately, naturopathic treatments for addiction are widely promoted in popular media and alternative medicine circles.”
Traditional Chinese Medicine Warnings
“One of the basic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as it is usually defined, is that vital energy, or qi, circulates through channels in the body which connect to various organs and functions. TCM therapies, such as cupping, acupuncture or herbal treatments, seek to activate these channels, or balance someone’s qi.”
Traditional Chinese Medicine Has Not Been Vindicated by Science
“In TCM, the focus on symptoms to the exclusion of underlying causes is baked in. This is because whatever is wrong with the body is claimed to be due to blockages in the flow of qi, a presumed life force for which there is no evidence.
The prescribing of herbs is itself another problem with TCM. Herbs contain unknown amounts of various chemicals, and these quantities vary depending on where and when the herb was grown. Buying acetylsalicylic acid or Aspirin from the local drugstore guarantees you are receiving a fixed dose of the active ingredient; sipping on an infusion of the bark of a willow tree will deliver an unknown dose of the related salicin and many other chemicals. When you’re throwing 16 to 18 herbs at a patient, you might as well include the kitchen sink.
Finally, we must contend with the questionable reliability of Chinese research into Chinese traditions. Widespread data fabrication in clinical trials was unearthed by China’s food and drug regulator a few years ago, and we also know that virtually all trials of acupuncture done in China report a benefit, which clashes with results from trials done elsewhere and from biomedical research results in general. Interventions simply are never that good.”
