Yoga and Transcendental Meditation – a Christian Option?

by George Smith
1994

During the past twenty years or so there has been a remarkable interest and growth in many alternative medical therapies or so called 'holistic' medicine. Holistic means taking into consideration the total 'make-up' of a person including their body, mind, emotions and spirit. The popularity of various therapies has resulted from many factors. These include a degree of disillusionment with orthodox medicine and an awareness of possible side-effects of drug therapies.
