New types of spiritual practices, such as Yoga or mind-body-spirit meditation (i.e., holistic practice), have been flourishing in the United States in the spiritual marketplace. Little research, however, has been done concerning how the socio-cultural meaning of a self is constructed through a cultural mechanism of spiritual practice and as an alternative choice of religiosity in a consumer-oriented culture, that is, the pluralistic spiritual marketplace.
Based on the participatory observations and in-depth interviews of intense mind-body-spirit practitioners at local holistic centers in the North East area of the United States in 2006, this research explores the socio-cultural meanings of spiritual practices as part of alternative religious affiliation and an authentic self as the construction of an inner self in the pluralistic spiritual marketplace. The characteristics of consumer orientation in a spiritual marketplace highlight inter-personal connections, a new type of entrepreneurial leadership with egalitarian care, and visual-physical metaphysics. For holistic practitioners, the search for an experience of an authentic self is crucial. However, the freedom of individual agency may entail the contradictory-faces of individualism; flexibility of heart versus self-entrapment.
