“These techniques rely not only on physical movement but engage a person in entering into an altered state of consciousness. Their powers derive from engagement with the spiritual world.” – From the new foreword by Archbishop Julian Porteous.

Yoga, tai chi, and Reiki are highly popular relaxation and fitness practices in Australia, even among Catholics. This book by De La Salle Brother Max Sculley, now in its second edition with colour illustrations by Tommy Canning, reveals how they are based on consciousness-altering methods from Eastern religions which open even casual practitioners to emotional and spiritual dangers. Thoroughly-researched, gripping and timely, this book blows apart the common myth that these practices are secular and safe.
