I mean, Im aware that cults often have hidden meaning that the participants may not be aware of, but I figure if the exercise came from India and namaste is a greeting of respect than saying it isnt going to invite in evil. Some christians are so afraid of other cultures, just like other cultures are so afraid of Jesus. God seared the knowledge of good and evil in all our souls so if your heart is pure then stop worrying about the details. My personal choice is to thank Jesus, and if I want to say praise Jesus instead of Namaste I will but Im not going to live in fear of the word Namaste. Really.</p> Im a christian and i dont think stretching and breathing and saying thankyou is blasphemy.

If you are practicing anything that has to do with the occult, something strictly forbidden by the bible to avoid deception, the demonic hosts are not at all put off that you are peppering in scripture here and there. They just want to gain entry into your mind/being so as to deceive you and change your worldview. It is not something the bible endorses in any way, Jesus himself case demons out of people and that is what you can look forward to happening if you play with something God has said "Do not do." People would be surprised to fish around and find the articles written from numerous people both Christian and not, who have encountered something odd called the dangers of Kundalini or dangers of Qigong. It all has to do with invitation of spiritual experiences and beings into your person as you tap occultic means to access "god"/ force/ oneness whatever, but instead of getting Jesus, you find Satanic fallen spirit beings. Do some research. Do not willingly marry light to darkness and then experience the horrors of doing so, as though you were not warned throughout scripture</p> Wow, talk about mixing Light and Darkness, Truth and Error, Good and Evil.

I did yoga as well for a while, and even after I became a Christian, I too did not even deem yoga as bad, I do agree it is very relaxing and has many health benefits! but i believe that to be a lure of Satan, the God of Lies, he comes to us as an angel of light..when i went to yoga after i became a Christian, it wasn't the same, i did not feel good at all! not physically, but spiritually, I had a bad feeling inside, some would say thats the conscious speaking-which i believe to be the Holy Spirit. I left and have no desire to go back-there are plenty of other exercises out there--I can't even believe I didn't know yoga was religious, that didnt even come to me until the 3rd time i did yoga..people dont realize this, but my question is, if people were very aware of the ultimate purpose of the practice of yoga with the spirituality involvement, would those people who are not Hindu of Buddhist still want to engage in a practice not cohenciding w/ their faith, or if they have no faith? I do know some of you Christians find no fault in yoga and think the Christians like me who find it demonic are crazy! but please come to realize, and let me leave you with this-although u may think it doesn't matter if u only use it for health benefits and think about God during the yoga-know you are taking part in something that does not glorify God-and yes, to the comment above, TV doesnt really either, haha, but that's different. This is a bigger issue, people all believe their religion is spiritual, and there have been witnesses to that-so why take part in another religion, the poses worshipping other Gods? If you don't believe me Christians, at least try to witness to the yoga practicers...that is all i have to say.
