Reiki, Therapeutic Touch and Healing TouchLike all counterfeits, toxic Alternative Therapies acknowledge the existence of Jesus Christ. However, the Christ of Alternative Medicine is not the Jesus of the Bible. Believes need to be wary of anything that smaks of Christianity yet has the odor of death about it. Reiki acknowledges the existence of Jesus but deny the reality of His efficacy. Dr. Mikao Usui began life as a Buddist but had a conversion experience of some sort with Christ. He even r...

Some of these are the belief in reincarnation, the necessity of continual growth in karma ( good works ) in order to nullify the inherent evil present within each person. There is the ceaseless need to meditate in order to find Enlightenment and become one with the Buddha and finally, the promise to reach Nirvana (nothingness) and the annihilation of the soul.There is no God in Buddhism, He is absen...

Health Care the Growing Edge of the OccultYou may ask “How did you happen to write a book on “The Occult Invasion of Health Care?a. My Experience. I worked as a pastor for 20 years and 9 years as a health care chaplain.

In fact I would serve as a barrier to her success... Continue reading ...

The Death of Chaplaincy in Health CareYou may have ask yourself, don't hospitals and hospices hire Chaplains. Aren't they providing pastoral care? The role of Chaplain has been emasculated, become impotent. - Pastoral care has become "spiritual care". - Differentiates religion from spirituality. Religion = practices and rituals. Spirituality = emotional well-being, connection to nature, family and whatever else brings peace and freedom from anxiety. - I call it "the cult of spiritu... Continue reading ...

Demons and the Occult
Posted by Michael Elmore on Monday, May 10, 2010,
The Doctrine of Demons"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons" (1 Timothy 1:4) "In the last days people will depart from the faith". Faith here is either Christian doctrine or the Christian faith as a religious movement. For discussion see 1 Tim 1:2 and 3:9. As in those two passages it is more likely that Christian doctrine (or, teachings) is meant here in 4:1, too. Depart comes from a Greek v... Continue reading ...

Embracing the Darkness
Posted by Michael Elmore on Wednesday, May 5, 2010,
A Personal TestimonyI was barely aware of touch therapies before I became a chaplain. I had heard of Healing Touch and knew there was something wrong with it innately. But it was only when I became a chaplain that I began to see the emergence of a new kind of spirituality creeping into chaplaincy which was traditionally a Christian vocation. I began working in hospice where for the first time I encountered a new "medical modality" or alternative therapy called "Reiki". Reiki, I discovered, was... Continue reading ...

Piper, wife of a Boston merchant, and possessed of but limited education, began what was to be a 40 year career as a spiritualistic medium, a career which was to be confounded the best minds in psychic research in both the United States and Europe with scientifically validated evidence which has never been refuted.

Spirit Guides
Posted by Michael Elmore on Thursday, April 29, 2010,
Angels or Demonic Visitors?Some mediums claim a spirit guide is a highly evolved spirit with the sole purpose of helping the medium develop and use their skills. The mediums claim they assist in following their spiritual path.

Crystal ReikiThe use of stones, minerals, and crystals in the arts of healing date tackle literally to the Stone Age. Evidence of such healing is found in the traditions of shamanism as well as in documents dating back to ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Greece, which list different stones and their metaphysical properties when carried or worn.

Reiki and Ghosts
Posted by Michael Elmore on Friday, April 23, 2010,
What Reiki Practitioners BelieveReiki can give the practitioner a greater awareness of the spirit world, but it can also be used to heal those trapped between worlds without physical bodies to touch. More and more we hear about people using Reiki for exorcisms, house protection, cleansing, and banishing unwanted spirits. This is a natural extension of the healing process of Reiki. Most cultures have a concept of ghosts, or unsettled spirits, the souls of the living who resist crossing to the n... Continue reading ...
