New Age is a western subculture that combines aspects of spirituality, philosophy and religious practices from many cultures across the world. It also extends into ideas of holistic medicine and environmentalism. It is characterized by an eclectic and individual approach to spirituality, and a general rejection of dogma. Other terms used to describe the movement include Self-spirituality, New spirituality, and Mind-body-spirit. [1][2][3] The movement began in the second half of the 20th century and originally referenced the supposed coming astrological Age of Aquarius. Beliefs in New Age ideas are found among diverse individuals, including some who graft additional beliefs onto a traditional religious affiliation. [3] Some individuals who hold any of its beliefs may not identify with the term "New Age", and that term may be applied as a label by outsiders to anyone they consider inclined towards its world view.
