New Age Health Care - Way of Life Literature

“AHNA offers ‘full spectrum nursing’ for the ‘nurse of
the future’ and is snagging otherwise solid nurses
into the esoteric view of healing. AHNA held another
conference in Estes Park last June, where Barbara
Marx Hubbard spoke on transcendental nursing and
the Goddess Earth. And Dr. Melody Olson taught a
workshop on out-of-body experiences (OBEs). She
said in ancient Tibet there was always a person at
the death bed to serve as a guide through the death
process.
“Another, RAM DASS, a questionable survivor of
over 2000 acid trips, communicates with spirits of
the dead and teaches at such places as John
Denver’s Choices for the Future Symposiums. He
has opened Dying Centers around the country to
help the terminally ill to ‘cross over.’ A spirit guide
named Emmanual, his drugs, books of the dead and
some macabre experiences have taught him death
is just another vehicle for ‘awakening.’ Dass believes
death is absolutely safe, like taking off a tight shoe,
and is simply a soul about to drop a body. He faults
society for teaching people to fear death, trying to
keep the body alive, in ICUs. He feels death can
become an adventure. He's been accused of
running a death cult and by his own admission, likes
to sit at someone's death bed meditating and
resonating on the dying body, and thinks he receives
power from the death throes.

darling of New Age medicine. In his book, Love,
Medicine and Miracles, Siegel promotes occult
practices mixed with health care. He uses guided
imagery, visualization, meditation and Silva Mind

has spread so very rapidly throughout medical
society. Mental health institutes are key to
metaphysical experimentation, since the intangible
area of the mind is fertile ground for these concepts.
At Menninger’s in Topeka, patients are introduced to
the new consciousness of the west, psychic
phenomenon, parapsychology, telepathy, faith
healing, Ram Dass, the universal oneness concept,
