Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM
Dear Edsak: Yes. Kinesiology, acupressure and similar techniques are based upon ancient Oriental cosmologies that are inconsistent with Christianity. These techniques are dependent upon the notion that there are meridians of energy that pass through the body like a circulatory system. Illness is caused when there are energy blocks. The techniques allegedly "clear" the energy so that it flows unimpeded making a person "in tune" with the cosmic energy. Practitioners of these techniques often silently offer prayers to the "spirits" or "forces" while doing their therapy on a client. These "spirits" or "forces" are not of God. I was trained in this myself and was a practitioner for a while. It was part of my New Age nonsense years in which I was away from God. I came to my senses after God brought me to my knees and gave me a vision of hell and my dead soul. I suggest you stay away from this. Stay with that which is consistent with the Christian Faith.
