Harriett's Adventures in Newage Land



Recently, I was in England working on a TV programme for the BBC. The programme series is called Living with the Enemy. The programme will be shown on BBC Digital and also on BBC1 terrestrial, probably in September 1999.

I spent a week living in an alt.med. / spiritual / New Age environment. During the week I experienced Aromatherapy, Adonai Healing [AKA Psychic Surgery], Aura Reading, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Gong Music [wonderful!] Reikei, Sole Reading, Vegetarianism and Zero Balancing.

VERY interesting things happened with my aura, but I cannot tell you much about it until after the programme airs. I believe the score will be; Skeptics 1. True Believers 0.

I failed to experience Applied Kiniesology, Acupuncture, Crystal Healing, Homeopathy, Ley Lines ['May the force be with you!] Past Life Regression, Rebirthing and Reflexology.

I refused Rebirthing and the rest refused to have anything to do with me.

I discovered during the week that the Alt. Med. /New Age lifestyle seems to be based on a permanent state of 'unwellness'. If you are not obviously unwell now, then you have been unwell in one of your past lives and this is manifesting itself in your 'aura'; these people favoured the Ancient Egyptians for past lives. At one stage I was asked why I couldn't even pretend to be ill so they would have something to treat!!!

MOTTO of the Month:
Only Rich True Believers or Rich Credulous Fools need apply for New Age Healing.
