Alternative therapies (such as indian head massage or reiki) and catholicism?!


Question:

Alternative therapies (such as indian head massage or reiki) and catholicism?

Do Catholicism and alternative therapies complement each other, or would the practice of such therapies cause you to question your beliefs? Are there conflicts between the 2? For example, could I be a catholic and a indian head massage practitioner or a reiki master without jeopardising my integrity on either of these beliefs/principles?


Answers:

Don't you think that is really one of those questions you only have the answer to?

There was a parish hall in Wales that banned a local yoga group because yoga interfered with the teachings of the church according to the parish priest from the church that owned the parish hall.

There shouldn't be conflicts between the two. But the ones i know that place value on energy medicine would not dream of calling themselves christians or catholics. They think of themselves as pagans.

Maybe C of E is easier but i doubt if a proper roman catholic would condone alternative energy practices. They don't even allow condoms!
