As a practicing Christian myself, there are very few things in Yoga that conflict with Christianity. Some critics argue that Yoga and Christianity can not coexist, and yet we know that yoga is not a religion.
However, that starting on your opinion. I recently read about someone who claims to Kundalini is "new age witchcraft."
Sorry to say, another person recently said, should avoid "Good Christians, the devil's exercise," inReference to yoga.
Are the Salem witch trials still so close to our hearts? These claims are interesting because ministers and priests have practiced meditation for centuries, without complaints.
I suppose if someone devoted enough time to meditating on bad thoughts, meditation would be a bad experience.
To be honest, it depends on what you meditate, and in truth, in some schools of yoga, Hinduism or Buddhism is taught. For me thishas always been a conflict, how I love yoga, but have no desire to change my faith.
The many teachings of yoga and meditation, are non-denominational. Well, if yoga is a religion, what would it be? The principles of yoga are universal.
The Yamas and Niyamas are similar, in principle, the Ten Commandments, but as a Christian you have the right to vote and choose what you want from Yoga. You have the right to avoid sectarianAshram.
Yoga and meditation, give many Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Moslems, a closer connection to God, but there will always be someone who feels tempted to change their faith.
Let's be honest, the people who have a sudden change of faith concern is rooted in most cases, in two different camps of thought.
1. A person who on the fence about their own religion and not quite sure where they stand really.
2. Severe intoleranceIdea that new, or perhaps lead to the opening of the mind.
Let's stop the intolerance now. If you are driving in the car, waiting in line or face to face with someone who is different from you, please set an example for your children and leads to the other person a break.
