new age movement

The New Age movement is a loose collection of spiritual beliefs and practices that emerged in Western culture during the late 20th century, drawing eclectically from Eastern religions, astrology, alternative medicine, and occult traditions.

It emphasizes personal spiritual growth, holistic healing, and cosmic consciousness.

The movement has no central doctrine or organization—practitioners might combine crystal healing, meditation, reincarnation beliefs, and chakra work.

She got into the New Age movement after a yoga retreat.

Often shortened to New Age: New Age music, New Age bookstore.
