“Terms like energy healing, Holism and cosmic awareness are now widespread. On the bookshelves
many bookstores offer a wide range of spiritual literature, which should help with the individual coping with life. After a stressful everyday life, inner well-being should be restored. Esoteric approaches to explaining the world and the market for esoteric products are booming. Energy healers and gurus offer help in finding mindfulness, Holism and meaning. What they sell, mostly belongs to the comparatively harmless varieties of esotericism,which cause little damage apart from your wallet. The question of the systemic causes of the overload is not asked at all. Instead of criticizing the existing conditions, The focus is on self-optimization and the acquisition of healing products and seminars. Even if many esoteric practices and products are usually harmless, encourage some esoteric
