The Era of New Age
I know people have different views and opinions where the “New Age Era” is concerned. Some people associate it with Spiritualism, Paganism, and sometimes Atheists. I think most of us can agree that the era of New Age is a time where we are experiencing personal and/or spiritual development.
There is a movement of awareness as to who we are and why we are here. There are many different avenues one could roam to find answers, it all depends on the person and what their personal beliefs and needs are.
It is funny how we call it the New Age Era, when in fact humans have been searching since the beginning of time for the same answers. However, with our advancement of technology, science and knowledge, we are able to think more realistically “outside the box” with educated reasoning.
Though Metaphysics are somewhat a part of this “New Age” they do not have the same meaning. Things that are Metaphysical are very abstract, and pass the limits of the third dimensional world. Science still has a hard time proving or disproving some of the Metaphysical topics.
Examples of this would be the Supernatural, UFO phenomenon, Astral Projection/Outer Body Experiences, Psychic abilities, Alternative Healing with energy like Reiki etc.
There are several methods that are available to people who want to advance personally, or spiritually.
- For spiritual growth and a higher awareness, items like Tarot cards, Crystal Balls, or Channeling are often used by Psychics to receive messages from their guides. Chanting, Drumming, or any constant rhythmic sound can be used to encourage an Outer Body Experience.
- Meditation can be helpful when trying to connect with a higher level of consciousness. It also promotes discipline both physically and mentally. Meditation relaxes the body, and allows the mind to be quite. It can reduce stress and promotes well being.
- Yoga helps to align the physical body with the spirit. It helps with balance, discipline, and strength.
- Dream Interpretation allows you to get to know yourself on a deeper, more honest level. Most of our dreams are symbolic and need a touch of interpreting. Dream Journals, and books that have the meanings of theses symbols can be useful. Lucid dreaming can also aide in the awareness of your inner needs, wants, and wishes.
People are even using hypnosis to do Past Life Regressions. I guess they figure if they know about their past they can get a grip on their present. This doesn’t always prove to be helpful. As a matter of fact, it can actually confuse situations more. To each his own, I personally would not want to dig too deep
