DANCE DANCE DANCE “Through 218 different studies with 14,170 participants, the researchers found that moderate reductions were made across the board with exercise, more so than simply prescribing participants with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Dancing stood at the top of the data charts in terms of the largest reductions in depression symptoms, while exercises like walking or jogging, yoga, and aerobic exercise with therapy were runners-up. In different demographics, the effects of exercises and standard treatment differed. In women, strength and cycling appeared to reduce more symptoms; however, men were more affected by yoga, tai chi, and aerobic exercise alongside psychotherapy. Older participants experienced symptom reductions when prescribed yoga and aerobic exercise alongside psychotherapy, while younger participants were more affected by strength training. However, dance overall was the form of exercise that consistently improved the symptoms of those with depression.” https://www.bmj.com/content/384/bmj-2023-075847

The description of New Age as "Theosophy plus therapy" is quite apt, and it is unfortunate, that New Age uses scientific jargon to create the illusion of meaning, without connection with reality. While it is usually pretty obvious when concepts that are relatively well know in modern society are misused that way, it is far less obvious when important concepts from other cultures suffer the same faith. Words and phrases taken from Traditional Chinese Medicine, one of the most advanced systems of medicine in the world, are often twisted in the same way that Western concepts from physics, psychology and philosophy are abused by the ignorant. To show how easy it is to our brains with this fact-free, emotionally-charged language that tries to bypass our rational thinking, this "New Age Bullshit Generator" generates a New Age word salad with the push of a button. Its author hopes to encourage more scepticism of this kind of discourse, and of the many charlatans who use it to pervert the human desire for transcendence and take advantage of vulnerable people for personal gain. https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/
