People feel in the mystical environment with things like slow motions,

captivating sounds and narrative emphasis used in the videos, or, as a

specific example, they added what they experienced in Tarkovsky and

Terrence's films to the comments, The people who made this comment

also added that they watched the movies of these people with the aim

of escaping from the world. Some of the carefully chosen words are:

nature, eternity, mindfulness and no-mind.

While we come across these contents so often in Tiktok, we see the

similar algorithm on Youtube, but the consumption frequency is less

and it is a place that should be searched especially, and it is a circle

that you may never reach unless you search for Twitter. Youtube has

more frequencies, chakra meditations, sometimes self-help, astrology

and tarot reading, And as I said, consumption is low. On Twitter, we

often come across weekly tarot readings (“Weekly Tarot Reading”),

horoscope comments and astrological information.

If we talk about the New Age content we see on these four social

media platforms in three articles.

Firstly; tutorial, maybe even developer

Some content tells people how to breathe, what to pay attention to

while meditating, and the essence of being a good person. From this

point of view, they say that positive thinking, helping people and

animals, and sharing behaviors raise the frequency. If our frequency is

rising in this way, it may be a useful area for society at some point.

Because in order to have rituals, one must pay attention to one's own

self. Here they summarize the situation like this, 'you get what you give'

to the universe.

Secondly; therapy for people

unconsciously

As I mentioned in the first part,

after being a good person, they

start striving for a happy life

consciously or unconsciously.

People who change their eating

habits, change their perspective,

think that they are a better version

of themselves when they clean their

aura or listen to certain

frequencies. At some point, this

carries the person to a more

positive perspective, unlike anxiety.
