Kinesiology: spiritual director approved?	Geraldine	Monday, April 20, 2009
Question: Dear Brother, I have a dear friend who, desperate for a cure for her son's unidentified wasting disease, found her way into the holistic health arena. Both her and her son embraced applied kinesiology and Lifesystems (returning the body to proper electrical balance). Her son experienced great improvement after diagnosing what his body lacked or had too much of. Treatments were mainly lifestyle and nutritional changes. Both mother and son became practioners after being assured by thier spiritual directors, Catholic priests, that as long as they stayed Christ centered, they were doing no harm, only good. But, of course, "stay away from the eastern mysticism aspects". They are assured that there is no moral problem with treating patients through long distance muscle testing. Having been (along with almost everyone in my family) a patient of hers, I can say that she is amazingly accurate. She sees this as a gift from God. She will pray, before and after treating people. This woman and her son are regular adorers of the Blessed Sacrament, daily communicants, rosary praying, scapular wearing Catholics who frequently use the confessional. I know because I have seen this. I have renounced these (muscle testing, etc) practices and really desire to help my friend see the light. But how do you approach this when the believer has the blessing of her spiritual director? I know her director and find him to be unwise about more than just this issue. As of today my friend has 3 gravely ill sons, one with brain tumors, one with lukemia, and I'm not sure what else. She feels this must be God's Will because they refuse to apply themselves 100% to natural remedies. I believe it to be a backlash from the evil one. My family is experiencing some strong oppression in all areas, spiritual health, physical health and financial. We are seeking deliverance through the prayers of a good and holy priest. I need direction so I can help her. God Bless, Geraldine
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Geraldine: I am sorry to hear about the problems of your friend, but any spiritual director or priest who recommends or advises in favor Kinesiology should be fired. There is no way that a Christian can involve themselves in this technique, which is based upon false science and a spirituality and worldview that is utterly inconsistent with Christianity. I have a rather extensive analysis of Kinesiology that you may find useful: click here. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.

Question:

Dear Brother,

I have a dear friend who, desperate for a cure for her son's unidentified wasting disease, found her way into the holistic health arena. Both her and her son embraced applied kinesiology and Lifesystems (returning the body to proper electrical balance). Her son experienced great improvement after diagnosing what his body lacked or had too much of. Treatments were mainly lifestyle and nutritional changes.

Both mother and son became practioners after being assured by thier spiritual directors, Catholic priests, that as long as they stayed Christ centered, they were doing no harm, only good. But, of course, "stay away from the eastern mysticism aspects". They are assured that there is no moral problem with treating patients through long distance muscle testing. Having been (along with almost everyone in my family) a patient of hers, I can say that she is amazingly accurate. She sees this as a gift from God. She will pray, before and after treating people.

This woman and her son are regular adorers of the Blessed Sacrament, daily communicants, rosary praying, scapular wearing Catholics who frequently use the confessional. I know because I have seen this.

I have renounced these (muscle testing, etc) practices and really desire to help my friend see the light. But how do you approach this when the believer has the blessing of her spiritual director? I know her director and find him to be unwise about more than just this issue.

As of today my friend has 3 gravely ill sons, one with brain tumors, one with lukemia, and I'm not sure what else.

I need direction so I can help her.

God Bless,
