New Age
The New Age Spirituality is unlike any religion in the world. In fact, it is not even classified as a religion. It encompasses the beliefs of many different paths from a melding of the Eastern and Western philosophies with a belief that all are one and part of everything that is providing an eclectic approach to spiritual, philosophical, and emotional exploration. The social concepts draw on ancient teachings on matters of spirituality, holistic care, concern for nature, and metaphysics.

The roots of the beliefs can be found in Shamanism, Celtic Traditions, Wicca, Theosophy, Magic, Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Transcendentalism, Neo Paganism, Occultism, The Cabbala, Hermetics, Anthrosophicalism, Spiritualism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judiasm, and Gnosticism to only name a few. There are no set texts, clergy, formal organization, dogmas, or rituals, as there really are no limits or bounds to what one may or may not believe. "New Agers" tend to create their own techniques and way of living. Some typical practices that are associated with those on a new age type of path would be holistic healing, meditation, channeling, crystals, divination, astrology, metaphysics, herbology, aromatherapy, energy work, mysticism, and raising one's vibrational levels to help with self realization and an awareness of consciousness.
It appears that new age spirituality is a growing movement as an alternative means to the typical dogmatic and boxed theories of typical religons or cults. New Age theories are found every where from books, to music, to tv shows. Now that you are more "aware" you may spot them too!
