According to her, ones must purify the body and mind before going into deep meditation. So that you can really control it.

One of my christian’s fren never do meditation. I asked him why. He told me that they believe that spirit might go inside the body. But most of the yoga practitioners think that isn’t a spirit, instead it’s kundalini awaken! a very deep meditation which will eventually lead to liberation. So confuse rite?

Scientist considered that as psychology problem. But it is a good thing for those who want to awake it, especially buddhism and hinduism. So, it depends on what result you really wan to achieve or see…

There are so many poses in Hatha yoga, but it doesnt mean that we need to be able to perform all the asanas rite? I remember Yoga Masters always say: choose the posture that suits you, listen to your body…dun do it, if you cant..

So i think the concept is the same. Skip the component within the 8 limbs which you think is uncomfortable to you or maybe against your religion, let say the meditation part. But if you dun believe abt Kundalini, or you feel that light meditation helps you to calm you mind..then, just go ahead!

Meditating has been mistaken by many people as ‘emptying of mind’. in actual fact it is rather impossible to be ‘blank’ in thought. Mystical Christianity might sit will with yoga… unfortunately the fundamentalistic components of Christianity as a wholove prioritize on dogma and principles. Anything that is beyond their grasp and understanding automatically gets labelled as ‘Satanic’.

Deepak Chopra quote + Bible quote = Yoga does not sit well with the Bible?

Confusing as to how that’s even an fair, balanced, empirical comparison. Your intentions are right; your methodology maybe off. Try going deeper.

Many Christians who practice yoga readily admit to its health benefits. There is no dispute that doing yoga poses makes you feel good. It is interesting that the bible does not mention exercise but remember that at the time of Jesus,…
