new age

The New Age movement represents a diverse and eclectic spiritual orientation that emerged in the late 20th century, characterized by its synthesis of Eastern philosophies, Western esotericism, and holistic health practices. It emphasizes personal transformation and self-realization through a variety of practices such as meditation, energy healing, and astrology, aiming to foster a deeper connection with the universe and transcend traditional religious boundaries. Philosophically, it challenges conventional paradigms by advocating for a more integrative worldview that harmonizes science with spirituality, encouraging individuals to explore their inner consciousness as a pathway to universal enlightenment.
