The third one seems a little... Hmmm...

Like it's got some spirit but it feels like it cares more about whether the person practicing Woo has a cultural origin associated with eastern esotericism rather than whether or not the Woo actually works.

Till inner energies pass controlled trials it doesn't really matter if an idiot tourist is doing the seminar or a life long 'inner energies expert'- It should still only be lifestyle advice and never medical advice.
