I lost my husband in 2020. I was so distraught I was looking literally EVERYWHERE to stop the pain. Spirit guides, crystals, smudging, the whole nine yards. But raised as a Christian, it didnt take long for Him to come and get me. I am grateful.
My condolences, I lost my love of my life in 2021. May your loved one be at peace in heaven. And remember they are always with you, because Jesus Christ showed us the way. God bless you eternally
Eternal rest grant unto him Oh Lord and let Your perpetual light shine upon him, may his soul and the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God , Rest In Peace 🌹🙏
You are His beloved child and i'm so happy God came to swoop you out of that dangerous place. So sorry about your loss. Just have faith and know that you'll see your husband again. No, it won't be in this life but it'll be in the next, our eternal life.
Thanks for informing the people here. Much appreciated. The guest here doesn't know anything about Hinduism and still claiming all kinds of things. We are not invoking any ancient gods because Hinduism is still being practiced and gods are still guiding us. Saying OM connects you to the universal consciousness. My advice to devout Christian is,just don't do Yoga if you feel so uncomfortable.
I had a weird experience a month or so ago. I've been struggling with intrusive thoughts for about 8 yrs. The slightest thing can trigger me and send me careering downhill for weeks. Horrible. I hate it. I hate it for ppl around me. About a month or so ago I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed reddish light around my bedroom side window. I thought it was a brake light of a car outside so was watching it then it started to shimmer. What happened next was very confusing. I'm not sure if it was a dream and I'd fallen asleep or an hallucination and I was awake. (Full disclosure I don't take drugs and never have. I'm not on any prescribed drugs.) The shimmering intensified and a muscular, red, long nailed hand was feeling through the closed window. The blind area went full red and pulsing and all I can describe as a "demon" was trying to get in. There was more than one but I could only see one fully. It was like a young version of the devil character in the film "Legend" with big horns. It was struggling to get in. I just laid there looking at it. I wasn't frightened...concerned it would get in but not frightened. I didn't feel fear. I just said to it in my head over and over "you're not welcome here - go!" The demon figure was slobbering with its tongue out like it was hungry. I toyed with waking my partner. I just kept saying it. And I could feel it withdrawing slowly until it went. I laid for the rest of the night watching the window. I even looked up slobbering demon on my phone. I must have fallen asleep at some point. I told my husband about it in the morning. We're not religious or anything. He immediately said to me whether I thought it was a personal demon. I looked on my phone and I had looked it up at like 3am so it was either real or an hallucination. I didn't feel like it was a personal demon inside already- it felt very much outside me trying to get in. But since that happened my intrusive thoughts have reduced so much...virtually to nil. When I have had one which isn't often I simply dismiss it. Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to share. Im not religious but do believe in one god. I also do feel that evil is getting an upper hand in our societies at the moment. Love from UK.
@@goldenrose1445 of course I do ,but I also believe that christ ordained a new covenant ,and said if you love me you will obey my commandments. Not just the commandments of the old covenant but the new. He never said we can ignore his commandments and make religions as we please.
@@mariamartins5796 My family left the church when I was 9 years old. Before I even could comprehend or understand the significance of God's word. I didn't ignore him, I was ignorant. There is a difference between disobedience and ignorance.. In my darkest moments I asked God for help. I remember a voice saying to me.. You can continue down this road, and it will not end well.. Or you can follow me and your life will become unrecognizable and full of blessings. I chose to change. I felt called to learn more about the Bible, and Jesus. Once I had learned the Word of God, I felt a tremendous amount of sorrow for how I behaved in the past and dishonored God. I asked God for forgiveness, I admitted I was a flawed human who needed him. I don't believe that God ever gives up on us, it is us that gives up on him. I would never consider somebody to be less Christian or less worthy of God's love and forgiveness because they lost their way.
I relate to this so much. I was into the whole new age and self help, yoga, crystal healing, tarots, psychics.....the works for 30 yrs. During covid I returned to God and Christ and bought a Bible, which ashamedly I did not own. I am the happiest, healthiest emotionally and spiritually, my relationships and marriage are the best ever since turning to God. I pray more people wake up and turn to our roots......God.
@@jonjacobjingleheimerschmid3798 I’m sorry that you feel so empty in your heart that you feel the need to belittle others for their beliefs to make you feel better and superior.
@@nise5281 have you actually taken any actual yoga training/ certification? I did. A very long intense training. They are not secretive, just ask them. The asana, the physical portion of the practice makes up to 1% of what yoga is. It is to prepare your mind and body for the spiritual, meditation, religious side of it which makes up the other 99%. Not every studio is transparent about it, but most of them are.
Yup. I was a famous best selling New Age author and crystal healer/teacher for over 25 years until Jesus said "enough!" And changed my heart. I walked away from it all and if you're into new age or occult practices, you should too!
Truth! I was raised with zero Christianity, completely in the secular world where nature religion and New Age movement was my spirituality for 36 years. So much money invested into training and skills and certificates to be a provider for "healing" modalities.... Then God called me by name and I had to walk away from it all. Big, BIG changes. So worth it. ❤️
One thing she said echos my own state when I got saved. My life was a complete mess when this thought hit me with such clarity: I had tried as hard as I could to make my life wonderful, and I was never more miserable. I gave my utmost best, and the result was my utmost worst. The fear that revelation brought was the most intense I'd ever felt, to know I was at a complete dead end. I faintly remembered something I'd heard in Sunday school when I was a child, something about calling on Jesus. So I did. I had nothing to lose. Just three simple words, Jesus help me. No big drama, no overwhelming feeling of deliverance, no rainbows and lightness and walking on clouds type of experience. I just stood up and went on with my life; yet I somehow knew that something had changed. That was almost 50 years ago, and looking back I can say with even more conviction: yes, something had changed.
Moral of the story: If you are emotionally, psychologically or spiritually weak, seek truth from a psychologist or a pastor, not a psychic new age priestess.
I think for 90% of Americans who do Yoga, there is absolutely nothing religious about it. I get that I'm the Catholic who does some poses that are based on Hindu religious poses but it's always been about the fact that is makes my back not hurt than some heathen worship.
Exactly! For most people it's about the actual physical balance it provides you, the muscle tone, the pain alleviation and the health benefits, it's not about anything religious at all!
Catholic here and you are correct in my opinion. Due to a bad back, I started performing a few yoga poses each morning before I even get out of bed. Its been life changing since there are days it's the only way I CAN get out of bed. No chants, no invitations to demon spirits, nothing remotely religious except the occassional "Thank God" when I get a good pop in my lower vertebrae lol. Just some very effective stretching techniques.
Let me join the choir John Reedy, as a practicing Catholic I have never seen no reason nor rhyme in avoiding what could be beneficial for my health . The word Yoga originally meant 'relaxing' ( according to my book at least) and what it does is basically moves muscles in the body that don't get used very often in our daily lives. This activity is what stimulates the endocrine system and hence the health benefits to anyone who even so much as attempts to do an asanas . However, I have never in the past 30 years have ever came across a yoga practice which encourages chanting or evoking spirits or other spiritual practices. (Maybe its some sort of American thing?) For spiritual practice I could recite the Lord's prayer in any bodily configuration, but that is not what a physical exercises are there for. I wonder how many gymnasts or ballet dancers or soccer players pray while exercising.
@@nessparadis6948 What demons? I have practiced Yoga on and off for over 30 years, and never come across a single spirit or demon in all that time. If it ever happened to me I would think I need to see a doctor.
Please note that this is the Western version of yoga which has been bastardized to the extreme. Also, yoga in and of itself is good for rehabilitation of injury when done right. Anything sold as a quick fix is going to be problematic and that is not what this is supposed to be.
Totally agree! Yoga can be really great! I believe that Jesus learned also in India from Yogi teachers and learned about Buddhism, love to animals, not hurting, not killing them, not eating the death corpses no more and seek relief in breathing fresh air, ket pure water work, Jesus fasted 40 days to cleansed himself physically, mentally, spiritually. Yoga and believe in the Good, in God in Jesus goes both in both. Surely someone has to be carefully to not get mentally sick by this spiritual awakening by Yoga and higher frequencies.
Yoga at it's root is an Eastern spiral practice. It has been muddied by Western practice but if you actually go down the path of the real practice it's actually much more spiritual and dangerous for a christian because you cannot separate it from its Hindu worldview or in the case of America , it's new age worldview and language. So stretching the body, is great. Learning to breathe properly and how to relax through being still is great. But what and where is the mind being directed. But Yoga itself is designed to spiritually build the inner self and lead to self actualization and union with "the divine" to yoke yourself to the divine.
Jesus did not learn from yogi teachers or from Buddha friend. Jesus is the first and the last, The beginning and the end. He says He is the way the truth and the life and no one can to the Father except through Him. The Holy Bible challenges man: who are you to think you can teach God something or give Him counsel? Because the wisdom of man is foolishness to God. Jesus is God and therfore He would have nothing to learn from Buddha, expect to offer Him salvation if He were to accept Jesus as savior. @@thore0007
As a Hindu, I respect your experience. But one, I don't think any of what you spoke of is originally "occult". And two, I can't help but point out this is a misrepresentation of Hinduism, if not an attack on it
I'm a Muslim and I was thinking the exact same thing There is nothing wrong with yoga and meditation in fact calling it demonic is actually demonic itself
@@mekawren obviously it was all came from the top hindu god named ( adiyogi ) the first yogi , aka god of destruction, its so stupid to call yoga demonic, tell me does any demonic thing helps you physically, mentally, spiritually
For about 5 years I was into Yoga, the Secret rituals, and New Age and all she is saying is true. Also, those were the darkest time of my life. I suffered from bad panic attacks and depression. I was very negative too. Also, I once did a Reiki section and I got an uncontrollable fit of laughter. I never tried that again. So, glad that our Lord saved me from all those demonic strongholds.
@@maximustrolleus9860 I just made a post that even if you hate someone that is witchcraft, you are cursing them🤷😲🙄 you are introducing negative energy. We do it all the time. You're going to have to become a monk and ring your bell to not be a sinner! Thank God for Jesus we are saved.
Michael, please continue presenting content on this subject. Our society is being pulled in so many religious directions nobody knows what to believe. Everyone is looking for the quick fix magic bullet "force/Energy" that brings them 24/7 happiness, wealth and fame. What they don't realize is what they seek is Love. Love IS the cosmic force they seek to make their lives better. Love IS the common thread that connects us to each other. Love IS the energy that creates the collective good and displaces evil. Love creates happiness for all. Love is God and God is Love so seek God and Love your neighbor as yourself.
@@trevoncampbell2744 What you gotta understand, brother is that Yoga is inherently a pagan Hindu practice meant to honor Hindu deities. That can never be changed due to the purpose of yoga. If you wanna stretch, then stretch. No need to get involved with yoga. The Most High told us to not learn the ways of the heathens. I'd rather listen to Him, thank you very much.
@@trevoncampbell2744 the line is whether you are ignorant of its meaning or not. If you go about it, and don't know anything about what it is, how can you be blamed. But the second you know its hindu/pagan, then from that point on you are willfully dabbling in something you know is associated very clearly with wrong practice. The rest is just your justification to keep doing what you like, not what god likes. How it comes off also matters. Because regardless of intentions. We are supposed to live our faith. So our faith is plainly seen and known. But if you practice those acts with a bunch a secular or Hindi/pagan people, your intentions aren't seen. Its your actions that are speaking, and they are saying that the pagan practice is worth more than your faith. And of you believe the bible when it says bad assosiation spoils useful habits, then being assosiated with it is enough to cause harm.
Truth: Most Christians avoid yoga anyway because they are terrified of losing their salvation. So this video is pointless. You are not going to do it so stop freaking out and condemning others just living their life how they choose to
My family is Indian, and Christian (I already get a lot of inappropriate or rude comments at high school anyways from other Indians especially, but also other Asians as well), and from a young age, my dad and mom have been adamant in our refusal to perform any yoga. It's all from Hinduism, and is all about finding your chakras and becoming one with the universe, which is not Biblical at all.
But you're christian. So you dont actually believe these dieties exist right? Ganesha and shiva. Are fake. So therefore. People thousands of years ago were wrong. So. Why should that stop you from stretching in ways that their ancestors do?
1 Corinthians 8:4-13  RSVCE  4 Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” 5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth-as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”- 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. Here is something biblical. Basically. Idols dont exist. Ganesh doesnt exist. So. Eating meat sacrificed to ganesh doesnt do anything to you. Doing exercises that these people do... doesnt do anything to you
@@mike-cc3dd becoming one with the universe doesn't sit well with me, as the principle is not Biblical. you do realize that there are demons pulling the ropes with small deities right?
In high school after (what I thought was) my serious ex boyfriend broke up with me, I got into the spells and "crystals". I was raised Catholic and truly thought I could use it in unison with God in order to get him back. I was suicidal, constantly journaling mostly innocent incantations like "God please get him back." It never worked, and I never got better. Once I started to kind of forget about it ultimately I got a lot better and partially moved on. I do believe there is an energy to things and people, but as she said, it's narcissistic because I thought I alone could change it and bring my ex back. As a 24 year old woman who also went through "gender dysphoria" around the same time in high school and into early college, those practices just capitalized on my grief and confusion. I am closer to God than ever, but I believe when I was more open to that stuff, I made it easier to invite "demons" who still haunt me to this day. I want to believe it's my imagination, but I don't think this one particular experience I had last year was... God is always with me, and I have a gift I got from my grandfather where we have a sense for things(he's better than I am), and I had an image of the future one time and it happened... but I always wonder is that God, or is it the Devil trying to lead me on thinking I can "see" beyond this world.
You might want to look into deliverance ministry. Fr. Chad Rippinger has some... interesting opinions, but his stuff on spiritual warfare is very good and helpful.
You’re absolutely right. You may have a spiritual gift that makes you more sensitive to spiritual things/beings beyond the veil. The women in my family have also been blessed with this spiritual gift of perception and discernment from God. I’ve learned over the years that demons can only come into us or inhabit our dwellings when there’s been an invitation of some kind, but once in they can linger long. There is power in the name of Christ to cast out the demons that haunt you. You can pray for that ability to cast them out yourself by commanding them to depart in the name of Christ. Or if you find they’re still lingering, there are those ordained with special authority from God to issue those commands in the name of Christ and the demons have to obey. My husband and I have been able to do this on certain occasions when prompted to by the Lord and I know others who have this gift as well. I don’t know if it can be done at a great distance though. I’ve always been in the physical space or able to physically touch the person when I’ve experienced this. I’ll pray for you that someone with that gift can find you and give you that blessing to cast those demons out of your life once and for all.
"The King James Video Ministries" a.k.a. "Born Again Barbarian" is were I found the truth of God's word and the false hood of most of the church building stuff that I was apart of. WinePressNews is not on youtube anymore, but it can still be googled. I learned you can't lose your salvation in this dispensation if you called upon the name of the Lord, and that the King James bible is the true word of God. And just like how the world rejected Jesus, they rejected his word, and Jesus is the Word.
I'm so glad you overcame all the bad things in your past. You have a beautiful testimony now. You are a strong beautiful woman. May God continue to bless you.
This woman did what a lot of people do: take a whole bunch of separate teachings and glom them all together to create a mish-mosh of beliefs and practices. Spirituality is not a smorgasbord. Any reputable reiki practitioner will tell a client not to substitute reiki for conventional medical care and/or counseling. I've seen remarkable healing happen with reiki, but people need to take responsibility for their own healing process and not jettison conventional therapies. Unlike Christian Science, reiki practitioners do not promote an either/or philosophy if they have any integrity.
@@Lilacs4 I do know that. Maybe my reply didn't accurately reflect my views. Years ago I produced a video for a Christian Science organization and found the people to be intelligent and entirely ethical. While I did not see healing from their point of view, I didn't question their sincerity and have no negative view. I also have been involved with Reiki for several decades, and I have known reiki practitioners who suggested that it was better for people to heal themselves than to rely on other means, and that is absolutely not part of traditional Reiki teachings. Reiki can be used as an adjunct to other conventional therapies to help the healing process. I've seen some remarkable things happen.
Yoga means "Union." Yoga was created by spiritual practitioners in the East who were spending great amounts of time stationary in meditation. They found this inactivity caused degradation of bodily fitness. So they developed a set of stretching exercises to engage in between mediation practices. This over time developed into the practice of Yoga. But Yoga was not designed originally as a stand alone practice, it was merely a way of keeping the body fit so that the real practice of "union" with God could be maintained, which was Meditation.
Yes yes , please please never ever do yoga , it's the most evilest thing there is and these Satanics Hindus have affected it with demons , and there's one more thing , these satanic pagan Hindus worship the sun as well , as Christians we should never look at the sun , and live beneath the sun always go out of your house at night , remember that and be a good Christian , and repent , repent before the lord if you have ever come across or felt the sun , which is a pagan satanic hindu god , Christians should never ever use the number 0 as it was invented by these demonic , satanic , pagan Hindus
This is not Yoga... It's ""YOG"" ... this is Indian.. Hindu Spiritual practice 👍... And Meditation Also, It's not meditation ❌ its Name ""Dhayan/Dhan""
I had a similar experience about 2 years ago after a long series of unhealthy relationships (friendships and partners) and poor decisions (drugs, cheating) . I believed everything she talked about. I was so depressed and suicidal and none of that stuff ever helped me. I smoked a lot of weed, used insence, crystals, tarot cards, angel numbers, yoga etc. I felt like I was crazy and couldn't get a hold of myself. The past year I have reconnected with God and I believe in him and the miracles he can do. I am in a healthy relationship and have stopped my use of drugs. I don't hate myself anymore because I feel loved. I appreciate you and her talking about this a lot I'm greatful that there are others who can talk about their experience.
When I was new Christian I went to one yoga class we were told to do cobra position and empty mind. I got sick at my stomach. I knew this was wrong being new Christian. No one told me this. I told teacher I felt sick and was leaving. I then did some study about it. Wow was I surprised what I found the root of yoga is. Thank you so much for talking about this. When I've told Christians doing yoga they get upset at me. So sad...
I also didn’t quite understand the reaction: did you start feeling sick (nauseous) right after doing the cobra pose? If so, it’s a normal body reaction to exercises that you’re not used to! If your body is not trained, try to do active running, and you’ll feel dizzy, nauseous, heavy breathing, increased heart rate, etc - those are just signs of untrained body! The whole point of working out is to get UNCOMFORTABLE - that’s how you gain stamina, strength, and flexibility. Yoga IS an exercise! If your body is not trained enough, you’ll obviously feel discomfort. Just slowly increase the intensity of your workouts (don’t overdo it, coz it’s also bad), and everything will be Okay! Also, no need to get into the “spiritual” practices. Just stick to the workouts because physical activity is good for us, that’s all!
like what? are you a very fit person? yoga is best for strong body and mind. your skin will glow and you will feel fresh. your digestion will improve. very few other exercise systems are as comprehensive.
I was raised with Christ, however struggled with depression, anxiety, suicide, self harm, etc. I recently encountered deliverance ministry from John Ramirez teachings. The kind of freedom I now have in Christ compared to before has been amazing.
I have heard him in person. What an amazing testimony that everyone should hear. People do not realize how real the devil is. His take on Halloween is one that all Christians need to listen to because many fall into the trap of this demonic holiday.
@@whynot1548 so basically. He was always there, so was the devil. I had no idea how to remove the devil or how to enforce my spiritual authority in Christ. God doesn't force us to change, He gives us a road map to follow if we want.
I've never heard anyone 'chanting' anything whilst practicing yoga. Whenever I practice along with a youtube video, the focus is almost always on zeroing in on your breathing, the idea of course being to engage with the present. I don't know how it's done across the entire globe, but it's always a secular practice for me that I do on light days in between much higher intensity workouts as a way of active recovery. I've never viewed it as anything else. Just my perspective anyways. It's never steered me away from Christ in any way, shape or form.
I like what she said was that yoga mean yolk, and we aren't to be yoked together with unbelievers, neither should we be yoked together with other practices that are done to other gods. You may not think anything about it but in the spiritual world, the spirits that are associated with it recognize it as you opening a door to more deception down the road and you are always an example to someone in your life and they may willingly open that door through chanting or prayer if they know that you think it's OK to do and if they look at you as a practicing Christian.
The devil is a liar and he's lies are very subtle. Don't open a doorway for the devil he's very cunning and he'll take it. Just call it simply resting to recover without the poses and anything likened to yoga. Because if your purpose is to heal and recover after workouts then simply do just that. Massages are good too etc.
Because we hindus says you should follow whoever you want....its your god...even we go to church...hell I even chanted father in heaven..for three years in convent...o didn't felt bad...I love jesus and my Bhagwan together... My god doesn't stop me from worshiping... That's the beauty of my sanatana...
"satan capitalizes on trauma" - so true, so true, so true for all of us. This is how he works. We need to be aware. God answers all our needs and more ...
I was on the exact path as her. I repented of ALL occult practices. I am on such a better path trying to walk with Jesus and his teachings. Practicing yoga IS practicing hinduism.. you can make stretch part of an excercize routine if you choose. Yoga does bring certain spirits imo.
Yes yes , please please never ever do yoga , it's the most evilest thing there is and these Satanics Hindus have affected it with demons , and there's one more thing , these satanic pagan Hindus worship the sun as well , as Christians we should never look at the sun , and live beneath the sun always go out of your house at night , remember that and be a good Christian , and repent , repent before the lord if you have ever come across or felt the sun , which is a pagan satanic hindu god
you clearly do not even understand the meaning of occult. the cult part is cultural and also apart of every realigion. occult just means hidden which most knowledge of any religion is.
Yoga completely transformed my life: it sorted out my physical and mental health. I do think there is a lot of egotism and nonsense in new age spiritual teachings - and I've seen a few people end up pretty crazy. But for me, studying eastern philosophy led me back to Christianity (it seems to have the missing piece of the puzzle - that we can't do it alone). Churches demonised mysticism of all kinds, and this is one of the reasons people turned their back on Christianity. If they want people coming back to Church, there should be healing and spiritual expericencss instead of just repeating phrases. "Yoke" in Yoga is not about yoking spirits. It is about creating a yoke between you and God. The idea is that we are estranged from God and need to learn to put him back in charge of our bodies, minds, and spirits. They don't like the word "God" because mainstream Christians falsely turned that into a man in the sky with a beard. Yoga, of course, has become corrupt and is used for egoic purposes, but then again so has Christianity. If you have a pure intention, and stay humble, then it can be used for good. If you are just trying to boost your ego, it will lead you astray.
This was so interesting! I'm glad she shared her story! As a Christian, I'm so glad that I've never really been into yoga. Friends ask me to do it all the time and I'll do it here and there, but will never chant or any of that, but now I have a good justification for not going when they ask!
@@alaric3056 pop music is so evil, look into music it's all demonic, mk ultra and sacrifices. I heard testimonies of people that went to hell because they listen to rock, pop, hip hop, metal, sad songs etc...
"Angel cards are demonic". Right. Yoga is much older than Christianity and has nothing to do with "new age" anything and it is not religious. This kind of nonsense does your cause no good.
What is called Christianity was God's plan from the beginning and was only revealed when the time was right according to God's plan. Christianity was actually a God's plan from the beginning (ie: older than yoga and all of the other fake [false] religions).
1. Yoga is not a Hindu practice, yes it comes from India, but so does Buddhism, Jainism. Yoga is a practice that rejected the authority of the Vedas. Yoga is the practice of clearing your ego so all that remains is the Self, that which perceives through you, and isn't dependant on your identity. In hinduism, there is only One God, so when u are doing certain asanas, it's to mimic NATURE, not an actual spooky demi god that posseses you. Yes they acknowledge many Gods, but they know it's all metaphorical and are anthropomorphic representatives that allow abstract concepts to be more understandable. And they are all aspects of the one God. Mantras are Sanskrit, which is supposedly a language channeled by ancient sages, the sounds are implicitly tied to their meaning, and your brain and body responds even if you don't understand it. They aren't spooky demon words, they are all about God and Love, and connect your mind to it. It's up to you if u wanna assume the worse, that it's all demonic or what ever. Her bad mental health that led her into believing she is a star-seed it HER OWN delusion and not to be lumped in with Yoga and Hinduism. When ever a white woman learns what starseeds are they automatically believe that they are one because of narcissism. She was into astrology and reiki, again that's on her. In yoga, they suggest that you come into it with GOOD mental health so that way u don't dellude yourself. Yoga is POWERFUL and if u have bad mental health, it will cause it to become more prominent. They propose practitioners to get their shit together first, then practice, so that way they are pure. Because she was so scattered everywhere, and barely understood any of the subjects she was into, the Bible being only one book that she can focus on allowed her mind to rest. If she is the type of person to believe in so many things then what makes her devotion to Christ any more objective than her devotion to everything else she got into. Hinduism acknowledges that ALL religions are right in their own way and all lead to God. It's only abrahamic religions, so afraid that they're gonna go to hell, that denounce all other religions. Hindu yogis are the most loving people on the planet, they literally have no Ego and adopt the midset that they literally are whoever their speaking to. They are much more wise about what god is than any priest, Christian or otherwise, that only knows god through a Book.
Omg, thank you for writing this. I see that there are a lot of attacks from Christians that yoga is a demonic practice. But, none of the Christians ever suspect how the religion started. Catholics presented the Bible to the world saying that this was the only way to live. Let’s remember what Vatikan did and STILL is doing to the world. How many wars happened in the name of God? I do not deny the presence of God in any form. If any teachings help you to become a better person for yourself and others - go for it! But, do not say bad words about other teachings just because you do not understand them. Crazy.
As a yoga teacher who has studied and lived in India, I feel it’s important to share some insights-not with judgment, but with love and the hope of fostering greater understanding. There is a significant difference between ancient teachings and modern new-age interpretations, and recognizing this distinction can help preserve the authenticity of these practices. Many yoga poses are inspired by nature, reflecting the deep connection ancient sages observed between the human body and the world around us. Through these poses, we not only work to heal our body-our joints, muscles, and organs-but also cultivate a deeper sense of unity between the body and the mind. This union is the heart of yoga, emphasizing harmony and balance on all levels of our being. "Om" is seen as the original vibration from which the entire universe was born. In ancient Indian philosophy, it symbolizes the cosmic sound that connects everything in existence. Chanting it is thought to align the practitioner with the natural vibration of the universe, bringing a sense of harmony, unity, and peace. The way these practices are often explained lacks depth and thoroughness. Much of the information shared today is incomplete and, unfortunately, distorted. Having studied yoga philosophy in India, I’ve come to understand the profound wisdom and authenticity of these ancient teachings, which have been around for thousands of years-long before Christianity. Sadly, the modern "new age" trend has diluted and misrepresented these practices. In the West especially, these sacred traditions have been manipulated, leading to a proliferation of teachers who lack genuine knowledge or understanding of the philosophies they claim to teach. This misrepresentation often tarnishes the image of these ancient practices, which at their core are about union-the harmony of body, mind, and spirit. Yoga teaches us that every individual has the right to choose their own path. Even within Christianity or other traditions, you’ll find those who lack authenticity-it’s a universal issue. Ultimately, there should be no divide. Religion, when misused, often divides us, which is why I don’t personally subscribe to any one religion. Instead, I align with the timeless teachings that emphasize unity, compassion, and self-discovery. I’m sorry if these practices didn’t resonate with you or if you encountered a distorted version of them. The original wisdom of these traditions, which has stood the test of time, is profoundly different from the surface-level interpretations often seen in the new age movement.
Her experience with Yoga is highly unusual: & this analysis of Yoga generally is rigid & narrow. Her willingness to believe that she's an alien shows what level of quality & depth is applied to her reasoning. While it can be spiritual, many people do simply use Yoga as a great exercise & way to relieve severe pain/chronic tension. Beyond that, to conceptually entangle Reiki, crystal healing, Hinduism, chanting & Yoga as if they're all intrinsically linked is an expression of a lack of ability to distinguish between wildly different concepts. Per the exercise science, Yoga as a physical practice is miraculously helpful. Those with back pain or chronic tension ought to do themselves a favor & benefit from the anatomically optimized series of strength positions & stretches.

I watch Daily Wire on a daily basis. This is the single most valuable program I have ever viewed. Lord God, bless this woman and keep her steadfast in Your Truth. She exhibits an astoundingly greater maturity than her "spiritual age" belies, which can be attributed only via the Holy Spirit's hand on this woman's life. "For the eyes of the Lord moves to and fro throughout the earth, that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His." II Chronicles 16:9 (I urge everyone to watch Angela Ucci's entire interview.)
I did yoga for my health, I know it’s origins but I always have Christ in mind. Lost weight, felt great and still,love Jesus Christ, you have to be strong in your faith. If you are weak and swayed easily it will happen to you anyway. Never have even read a self help book lol. Jesus is everything good. Discernment is sooo incredibly valuable.
Thank God for I read this comment of yours. Yoga actually has brought me closer to Jesus Christ. It's hard to describe this fact in words. Yet, it's happening to me and some other people in this world. Like you. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽🥰sending you hugs and peace!
[**Please note I am not trying to inferiorize any religion here, your opinion matters yes, but at least don't spread misinformation. As an aethiest myself, I have researched these topics well and my information is based on facts.** ]Aight, I need to step down and educate y'all, especially you good sir and madam. (Mr. Knowels and Mrs. Ucci). 1)Yoga is a word derived from the word yog (fact check: correct.) It was created/achieved to control oneself and their minds of emotional stress as well as physical stress. The main goal is to remove _dukha_ (sorrow, suffering) from one's body and provide relief. (Not mentioned.) 2)The idea behind yoga is to become one with the universe, not god (in the video, Mrs. Ucci says- "....so it's an invitation for the Hindu gods....to come into your body." therefore, it is incorrect. No where in the upanishads or the rigveda has yoga been invoked to invite gods into your body) 3) "....and a lot of the poses are...reenactments/homage to Hindu deities." Never has yoga been defined as so, it has always been about finding yourself through control _yogas chitta vritti nirodhah _; it is the science of calming down the fluctuations of the mind.. I urge you to read the wikipedia article on this topic. 4) Coming to what Mr. Knowels said during 5:08 - 5:38 Seriously? Chanting prayers is also weird according to my religion, but I do not oppose your opinion. Chanting "Om"s have scientifically proven to benefit your body. The vibrations caused by such a practice provides stress relief. 5) Coming back Mrs. Ucci; she challenges to go and speak God's name in a yoga studio. It weird because it's a fricking Hindu practice. Yoga has become Jesus-centric. Which is disgusting, Christianity has ripped yoga off it's sanskrit roots. Coming to the conclusion...what you people are promoting here is an anti-gnostic religion that has become christianity. Salvation does not come from faith, but inner knowledge. It is the scientific era, such things have become futile in juxtaposition to early ages.
Everything she says is true. I experienced the exact same things. You go down the rabbit hole because you think it will help you but it worsens everything. Since I came back to God I feel better than ever
@@pisonic I thought about it but it's something else. I don't fully know yet if it's a spiritual thing or a psychological metamorphosis, but either way it's a great path to follow. I would say that it's both spiritual and psychological change. Placebo wouldn't have worked in my case
@@lupusdei9022multiple studies have shown hindu yoga have positive effects in mental health but as you christian follow a shepherd religion without any philosophy so i don't think you would believe in science either but hey keep believing earth is flat and that earth is 6000 year old.
I spend a lot of time on "image" and what image is "this" from. What pattern each subject, noun or verb is from. I spent time in the Bible, dead sea scrolls, learned Hebrew, Jewish texts, gnostic texts, catholic texts and just staying in the realm of God seemed terrific, awesome, grandiose. To say the image of super strength, future sight and monsters and men isn't throughout these text would be wrong. The reason I say this is, when I looked out at other cultures and tried to understand them. I looked to their origin stories and although is there an absolute truth and many roads may lead to happiness -all may not last forever- their stories all seem to have very similar images. Prayers/chants/mantras (recited verses as said/thought), and poses (prayer poses). Talking to spirits vs talking to one spirit. Letting spirits possess you vs letting the holy spirit take control (possess). Then there's being born again. Words are more than just words. The word is life. The word is God. Do not take it lightly. She said she was delusional when she believed certain things and it seems like Michael loved that. Just remember that what anyone believes can look crazy or disconnected when you cant see the full picture but these images are all connected. Like personally, I believe in the "Image of God" and that can look crazy on people too. Judgement is a crazy thing...
So , Yoga is not occult or calling of gods 😂😂😂and as a Yoga being part of my culture and whatever she is saying nothing related to yoga. Go to teacher not LA ones but real ones to make you understand science behind.
@@psr6736 If you're going to lie, deny exactly what the girl said in the video, pretend yoga is "your culture" and not "her culture" too until recently, you could at least use good English in so doing.
You realize Hindus are some of the most wise, kind and spiritual people right? And that it PREDATES Christianity? I don't get why Christians are so brainwashed they're SCARED of other religions. Islam and Christianity are the only ones that demonize other cultures and religions. It's a mental parasite.
@@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim Yoga is literally stretching the body. This is why christians are seen as mor0ns. You actually believe the act of STRETCHING your body is satanic or demonic.
You can't go into a yoga studio and say God's name because God doesn't have a name. But I'm really shocked the practices of yoga, Buddhism, and "aliens" are somehow intertwined here. What I can say is, we all go through our personal tragedies and in our darkest moments we all need to believe in something bigger than ourselves. In my teenage years and my early 20s, I was very much into Buddhism, yoga and breathing. This had tremendous benefits for both my physical health and my mental state. Later I moved for college, I got busier and I took up other sports. In later years, when I was facing some pretty tough decisions and I felt I needed spiritual support, I went to the holy books. All of them. I was reading different passages from the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, the Talmud. And a lot of these ancient truths resonated with me, and gave me meaning, and purpose, and the certainty that everything would be OK. So whatever you do to find comfort or search for meaning in your life, don't take it to an extreme and then you'll be fine. All spiritual and religious practices taken to an extreme do more damage in the long run than any short-term benefits. To me all organized forms of religions have the potential to turn toxic.
“So they shall put _My name_ on the children of Israel, and I will bless them(Num. 6:27).” According to this passage, God stated in very clear terms that He has a name.
I am a Christian and yoga has helped me manage my pain and anxiety. I often pray to Jesus when Im doing it. I dont see an issue with reclaiming this for God. Thanks!
… 🤔 but aren’t you listening to her testimony ? I would say be careful, If someone plays with fire, they can get burned. Also this reminds me of St. Paul to Corinthians : ““I have the right to do anything,” you say-but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything"-but not everything is constructive” and lastly, like she said in the interview: Do you think GOD wants this??? Does he wants to be “worship” like this?!
I'm picking up what you're putting down. I guess it's not technically "yoga" at that point. I breathe and stretch and make it an act of worship to God also. The New Testament addresses this: Don't worry about food given to idols, because idols are nothing. Eat or don't eat, but whatever ypu do, do it unto the LORD.
Yoga literally saved my life. Cured my depression & long term stomach issues. I’m sorry it gets a bad rep from people who don’t practice and see it as “new age”. Yoga is Not new age. It’s ancient.
exactly. she exposed herself to many different 'belief' systems......... I think there may be more problems within a person when they need to search for SOOOO MUCH 'spiritual release/forgiveness".

Sounds like she was a very disturbed girl that poked her head into dark places without anything approaching a guide. I found it very amusing she didn't actually know what a mandala was however. Embracing Christianity helped her find some sort of Peace more power to her I hope she just doesn't wind up using it as a another mask for ongoing problems.
I do yoga at a studio that does no kind of chakra alignment or religious teaching of the yoga. We do the exercises to Viking music. The teachers are devout, conservative Christians. There is a specific class taught that has Christian themes. It’s basically a Christian prayer-based meditation class. If you can find yoga-inspired classes that does this, go for it. If you are spiritually weak, be careful. I do want to say, there are a lot of conservative Hindus in America. Hinduism is very misunderstood. Because it doesn’t have a core doctrine or set of beliefs, there are a lot of sects, some being very dark. My family is Hindu and conservative. I pray for them everyday. I myself is going through RCIA and look forward to baptism. I would encourage people to read a book called “Classical Hinduism” by A.L. Basham to understand how the religion developed into its current form. It is a good academic book. This has helped me break bread with my family and help them understand why I don’t believe the religion, culture, and society around Hinduism. India’s history is very complex. I always remind my family that the Jewish community has been in India since 1000 BC, and St. Thomas came to India in 52 AD. Before anyone says anything about my parents, please know that a lot of the dark yoga and crazy Hindu practices we see in the West doesn’t represent a large majority of the people in India, who are just trying to live their life. Please be respectful towards my family and pray for them. I do want to add that Catholics are free to do the exercises of yoga but are forbidden to participate in the spiritual. If someone is participating spiritually that is a contradiction to the faith. Catholic Answers had some great articles about this and even the Pope has addressed this. My final stance is this: 1. if you are spiritually weak, have your guard up and pick your studio carefully, or avoid it at all cost 2. understand what you believe 3. be respectful of others and don’t paint all people with one brush
@@meowpurrrrr you definitely can. Most of the stretches we did in gym class as a little kid before yoga ever blew up to be anything. I know there are different types of yoga too and some of it is very spiritual. Others is literally stretching. Some moves for example are touching your toes, planking, etc. And, Pilates is derived from yoga. So many exercises and programs come from yoga.
Well friend if you put christian stickers on a ouja board would u call it sanctified and christian..no you can't same with yoga unless you want demons to enter you
Buddhism is older than Christianity btw. Buddha lived 600 years before Christ. Christianity would have been the new age for a Buddhist back then. Just because an age old religion - which btw has strict teachings pertaining to morality that everyone conveniently ignores - has been co-opted by the new age, does not mean it deserves being lumped in with crystals, astrology, tarot and all this nonsense. At least have some respect. No true Buddhist would ever talk badly about Christianity because there is respect. Many see Christ as a Bodhisattva / Buddha (which is a principle more than a person)
If you think that Christians would see your comment and respect your religion, you are wrong. I have spoken to 100s of Christians and explained my religion but at the end of the discussion they just simply say ‘Still you are worshipping the devil and you will go to hell’. There’s no use in talking to people who are deeply Abrahamised. They demonise everything that’s not western and biblical.
Yoke? Yoga? I had no idea, but makes me recall this verse.. "Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest. Take my *yoke* upon you and learn of me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you shall find rest for your soul" - Jesus (Matthew 11:28-29)
@@famaleAlpha1 That if you’re struggling, stuck in life, exhausted, sick or experiencing problems,, whatever it may be wether big or small.. to seek His word and apply it to your life, strive to be Christ-like (humble & gentle) and pray to God daily in the name of Christ to give thanks and to ask for things that you need. In return He will take our burdens and carry it for us or give us the strength needed to carry it, He will give us the time and space we need to rest & recover from our troubles. Nobody except Jesus is perfect so of course its not gonna be easy but as long as we strive to seek Christ daily and follow His words with pure intentions and a genuine heart then He will help you find peace, love & joy. May God bless you‼️🙏🏼
I dont care about the religion behind"yoga" but i do appreciate stretching. So if the argument is "hey that stretching means you partake in false religious practice" i cant relate because i just want to keep my body fit and that involves stretching.
I am Hindu, I was introduced to Christianity and started going to church every Sunday, then Demons started visiting me on the nights I was very terrified. In the church I could not utter Lord Krishna's name. Then I realize I am worshiping a dead body on cross and inviting demons on my body. Then started reading bible Deuteronomy 28:53-63, God will make you eat your own children I mean eating human flesh is definitely demonic. Matthew 8:28-34, He Sends Demons into Pigs. So, he controls demons and send them wherever he wants. Then I am back to my religion and happy than ever.
So many misconceptions. No, Christians don't worship a dead body. They worship the one who defeated death itself. The crucifix is a symbol for the ultimate sacrifice Jesus gave for us by dying on the cross and rising again. Then, where do you get from that Christians eat human flesh? The Eucharist isn't literal flesh, it's the body of Christ appearing in the form of bread. I know, it's very complicated, the principle is called transsubstantiation. What's important to know that no Christian believes that they eat literal flesh. Also, sending the demons into pigs was just a way to get rid of them. Jesus has authority over demons, but he doesn't send demons after or into people. In contrary, he casts them out. The problem is, that they don't die, but wander around. Then, they just try to enter everybody that's near. That's why Jesus commanded them to go into the pigs, so that they won't attack the people standing around.
I used to be into crystals and tarot and I’m so glad I let all of that out of my life. When it comes to yoga though, I went to yoga school in India and they said that the stretching came to be just to prepare the body to sit in meditation for long periods of time. It never felt demonic to me or that I was bringing spirits into my body. I would go into shops that had Hindu God posters for sale and Jesus posters right next to them for sale. It was pretty peaceful. I love this conversation though! When I started getting rid of the new age stuff and focusing on Bible study and God, life got so much better for me. :)

But that's what the evil one wants you to think, that there nothing wrong with it, because it didn't feel wrong. It's not about feelings though, it's about truth. We may not be able to "feel" God with us everyday, but He certainly is!
11:46 The love yourself thought process. "You'll never be able to love someone else properly until you learn to love yourself first." To me this is backwards. I personally believe you learn how to respectfully love yourself by learning how to love others first. Love thy neighbor as yourself.
We must love GOD first, then GOD will teach you who you are and to love yourself and by that happening you will love another believer and especially your life partner exponentially more
@@cryharder1877 Absolutely God first. Thing is I have yet to find a place in the Bible where God says to love ourselves. There are plenty of examples of individuals having bad results though when thinking about themselves first. Now there are descriptions of how as individuals we are to respect the body or temple that The Creator has given you. To me real love is freely given without expecting anything in return and unstoppable love is real love reciprocated between two people. I grappled for quite awhile trying to understand how to properly love myself, due to people telling me I had to learn self love. Thank the Lord for the Golden Rule. For in that understanding I came to the conclusion that road of loving oneself would only guide me to how I should expect love from others.
The quote you used implies that you love yourself...who do you feed first, who do you take care of first? We all, through the self preservation instinct, serve our own selves first, as a default. The bible passage calls us to rise above ourselves, and to see others as ourselves- to love them as we love ourselves. To help them as we would help ourselves. It’s a call to widen our love outside our small circle of family, to show that love in a bigger way (to any stranger we might meet in our daily lives, even “the least among us”). It seems clear to me that the quote quite clearly presumes most people look to their own comforts and wants first. Now...in so doing, I think serving others also expands the love we feel in our own hearts, including for ourselves. On a related note, as for putting ourselves down, or as this lady said, hating how we look in the mirror- that’s often a form of self-focused, self pitying, self obsessed attitude. (Or in her case, at least in part, she was in mourning.) We have so much fun talking about how we messed this up, or we just don’t look good in that dress, even our moods and depressions can be highly entertaining, and give us reasons to turn inward and ignore the outer world. The whole trans movement is an example of doing this- obsessing over your body in such a deeply selfish way that it’s breathtaking. A lot of what the west suffers from is “first world problems”- in the absence of starvation to think about, or plague, we realize how lonely we are, how we seek something more than just physical comforts. We’re seeking a deeper happiness, we’re seeking a connection, a love, that human life doesn’t ever quite give- not in a lasting way. Even the most beloved husband or wife- or grandmother- will someday pass away. That forever-love comes from God, and God alone. It goes without saying these are just the thoughts of a random person on youtube. Take them or leave them. :)
This lady is telling my story. My exact pain when my gran passed. Wow. I did that stupid shit searching for someone to link me to my gran. It took years to stop that. Just like what she is saying.

She says Yoga means uniting yourself with Hindu Gods. It means she hasn't understood Yoga at all. What Yoga does is uniting all the different senses in one direction. It has nothing to do with Gods. We have five sense organs which are powerful in their own way and can drive the mind in five different ways. So Yoga tries to calm down those senses and allows you to be in control of your emotions and keeps you calm even in difficult situations. The chanting that you said about is "Om" which means zero. It's said that it brings down the chaotic energy and associates your calmness to that sound or vibration. When I'm stressed, I say "Om" and it reduces my stress. There are no other chants, those are just rules when to take the breath, when to hold it and when to release it during the postures. And those postures are not related to any Gods but are inspired by nature. There are poses of a crane, a tree, a cradle and many more. There's nothing Satanic about Yoga. If you love Jesus and Christianity, it's absolutely fine but don't spread false ideas about practises from other faiths. Hinduism doesn't force you or invite you to accept this religion. It's totally your personal decision.
I thought I was an alien too ! It explained why I felt like a stranger and so out of place here on earth ! Crazy ! I also couldn’t understand that how after years and years of New Age study and self-help and 12 step programs and all of that at almost 60 years old I still felt as desperate and lonely and insecure and horrible as I did as a teenager something wasn’t right and getting back to my Catholic faith absolutely made the difference.. I now feel more settled happy peaceful secure loving accepting all the good things🙏
You were confused because only Christianity teaches us to look at the world objectively and realize that there is good and evil and then provides a method for adding more good. This is necessary and the point of spirituality, to be able to gleam ever so briefly as the human mind can't hold it all at once, where our place truly is in this world. When these imposters religions are believed they tell us lies and invite us to speculate even more, never providing the truth. All of these "new age" religions ONLY exist to be antithetical to Christianity. Their identify if you will, is just that they are not Christian.
Romans 10 versus 9-10: 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Praying the rosary or to Mary won't help only Jesus will.
Disappointing, this truly seems like a hit piece on spirituality. This lady played with things she doesn't understand and is now demonizing Hinduism. She is operating from fear and is full of crap.
Yoga is spreading all across the world because of the truly helpful benefits it offers humanity. It doesn't matter what religion you are, yoga accepts anyone. If it was bad or negative it wouldn't be healing to the mind body and soul. That's totally nonsensical.

Speaking of Paganism: * Christmas Trees came from Druid Paganism * Christmas was placed on Saturnalia, which was near the winter solstice * Easter was placed on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. The name "Easter" ultimately derives from the name of an ancient Chaldean goddess Astarte, who was known as the "Queen of Heaven." Her Babylonian name was "Ishtar." Since most languages pronounce "I" as ee, it's not hard to see how eesh-tar and its linguistic variants could eventually become Easter. As the goddess of love and fertility, Ishtar's symbols were-eggs and rabbits! * A mitre is a hat from the Dagon fish cult. The most prominent form of worship in Babylon was dedicated to Dagon, later known as Ichthys, or the fish. In Chaldean times, the head of the church was the representative of Dagon, he was considered to be infallible, and was addressed as ‘Your Holiness’. Nations subdued by Babylon had to kiss the ring and slipper of the Babylonian god-king. The same powers and the same titles are claimed to this day by the Dalai Lama of Buddhism, and the Pope. Moreover, the vestments of paganism, the fish mitre and robes of the priests of Dagon are worn by the Catholic bishops, cardinals and popes. * Candlemas Day/Groundhog Day is the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. Coincidentally "The Baptism of Jesus". * All Saint's Day? The day after the high Pagan holyday of All Hallow's eve. Calling other gods pagan and hating what you don't understand. ☕
I don't acknowledge it because this is silly! Sorry, but Yoga is used by most people to help with pain and muscle relaxation and gentle muscle strenghthening. If someone wants to get into the transcendental side then that is up to them, as a 60 year old I hurt all the time and the stretching and toning aspect helps and NO I do not, and have never chanted lol this gal seems a bit unhinged and I would not feed into her insecure reality, just sayin.
You don't need to chant or invoke spirits intentionally for them to come inside you, and I am not telling you this to judge you. But this is how it works. Yoga poses themselves invoke spirits to come into your chakras (=energy centers). So you are putting yourself in spiritual danger.
As a yoga teacher I feel like I need to say something.. although I know my comment will not ever be seen. I’ve been practicing yoga for 7 years now, teaching yoga on the weekends. I have never attended a class where “chanting” or any kind of religious or demonic undertone was present. We introduce “philosophical” themes in the beginning of a class to invoke thought. Example: theme of last week was “loving kindness” I asked the class to sit in silence and think about how they bring loving kindness out into the world. Is it through helping someone in need? Cleaning after your spouse cooks? Etc. then challenge them to give that same loving kindness back to themself. We “OM” in the beginning of a class to come together, as one. But that is the only “chant” if you could call it that, that ever happens in 99% of yoga classes. There is no talk of gods or demons. Only cues for breath, body awareness to avoid injury and great workout. I think like everything in life, if you make it demonic.. it is. Yoga means “union” yoga is not for devil worship.
It means yoke. Hindus will openly tell you that the spirits and “gods” cannot be separate from the poses and it is 100% an occult practice.Regardless of intention.
@@YagirlM yoga has been westernized and geared towards fitness, not god. Maybe yoga in a different culture is focused on god but not here in America. There are many studies that show the benefits to mental health & clarity when yoga & meditation is practiced. I think comparing tarot cards and mediums to yoga is way off.
@@mackenziebaglione you missed what I said entirely. My job is to alert you, not convince you. It opens you up to demonic attack. You are of course free to do as you will.
Western Liberalized yoga is some of the worst yoga. In India, a place where the government is nonaligned its much better. Liberalism is an ideology that doesn't believe in itself so it makes sense that she wouldn't believe in herself at the time.
Yes...it got conflated in the 1960s with the “free love” movement here. For a little balance, Gandhi was a practicing Hindu. Not much similarity between him and the average freu-freu crystal healing new-age yoga class attendee.
Yoga IS stretching!!! I am a strong Christian and in can go to a Yoga, stretching class, and that’s all it is. I’ve NEVER once been in a Yoga class where chanting was used whatsoever. Ev en if there were, my use in being. there is to stretch, not have a spiritual experience. If you can’t go to a yoga class without it upsetting your Christian values I’d argue that you need to strengthen your relationship with God and the faith.
If you’ve never been to a real yoga class with chanting then obviously you don’t know what she’s talking about. I used to take ashtanga classes living in Long Beach California and they were extremely spiritual with incense, meditation, chanting, and breath work. It isn’t right for a Christian, those were very dark times.
@@emraith9 What is "real yoga?" Is a yoga class not "real" if they don't chant? I bet the classes I've been in would take issue with that assessment. Obviously dont go to those classes, but obviously if its an Americanized no chanty version then thats just stretching. (Obviously she didn't differentiate between the different types of yoga so I'm pretty sure they were painting ALL yoga the same way)
Many times I've tried to caution Christians about those Yoga classes offered even in their church. They would try to tell me they were just going for the exercise. I always asked them why they would choose an exercise program that so clearly has an ungodly spiritual dimension to it when there are literally hundreds of ways they could exercise without exposing themselves to the possibility of ungodly spiritual influences.
Why do you(and what looks like a large percentage of the other commenters) believe that yoga stretches attracts demons or bad spirituality? the shape of the poses shouldn't matter should they?
They have yoga classes in the church??! Church leadership should really be careful about how they lead their congregation.. especially when it literally treads on the demonic realm.
@@davidbudzynski4847because you have to look at the history of where it comes from. The word itself means to yoke and you have to ask yourself what are you yoking yourself too? Also nowhere in the bible did Jesus not his followers do stuff like that.
I feel like this is where so many Christians seperate themselves from God. All of these same criticisms of others beliefs could just as easily be applied to Christians when they use Christianity to make themselves feel good rather than to serve and glorify God.
@@alejandrocanela691 Right, because different beliefs about God, other than your own of course, is the work of the Devil. Only whatever YOU believe is the right way to think. That entire way of thinking is demonic! The best advice I was EVER given about God.. "don't let man tell you what God is, rely on God to do that."
Idk about all the occult stuff but I used to be a pitcher and did a lot of yoga to stay limber, got to college and it was part of the program. I think as long as the intentions are pure then there isn’t anything wrong with it.
I am a massage therapist, Working on triggerpoints in the muscles. the stretching that yoga does is unbelievably good for the body. I’ve never been to a yoga class but I do these yoga stretching as stretching at home there’s no meditation to some other God. I love Jesus Christ the Lord. Same with Reiki…. I believe in laying on the hands for healing through the name of Jesus. I would be very careful who I would get Reiki from, it is the intention!!
Oh my please don’t bend yoga into what you consider it to be. Anyone can make anything what they want it to be. If she is practicing witchcraft that’s on her.
as someone who was raised christian and now still practices christianity as well as yoga I have a few words lol. in yoga teacher training they really try to hammer in the fact that yoga is NOT a religion. Although it is derived from hinduism, you do not have to be any specific religion to practice yoga. as for her statement saying that she can’t say “God” in a yoga class as a yoga teacher, that’s because Yoga is all inclusive regardless of any religion you practice! People from all different religious backgrounds come together to practice yoga and as a courtesy, as long as you haven’t advertised the class as a chirstian based yoga class, then why use words that might make others uncomfortable as some people really do only go to yoga class for the physical health benefits and not for any religious or spiritual purposes. The word yoga does mean “yoke” but its yoking body and mind. Not quieting your mind to invite spirits in but to clear your mind from the all the worldly things you think about on a daily basis. by quieting your mind, you’re allowing yourself to really focus on the deeper parts of you. it’s like going to therapy with yourself without talking to a stranger. you get to really hone in on your emotions and why you feel certain ways about different things. this is why journaling after a yoga session is often encouraged. quieting your mind is a form of meditation (which i know christian’s have negative things to say about that too, so we can substitute meditation for the word ‘prayer’ in this circumstance). there have been scientific studies to show that different parts of your brain get “illuminated” and “light up” when people practice meditation/prayer daily. it does indeed have benefits to reducing anxiety and helping to treat depression (again, this is proven by science.) for Christians specifically, yogic practices like breath work and meditation can be used to present opportunities to calm the mind and prepare the inner self to communicate with God in quiet solitude but i guess since yoga has been looked down upon from a christian viewpoint for many years, its better to follow what everyone else has to say about it instead of doing your own research 😅 It’s videos like this that will continue to give yoga a bad rep and steer more people away from it. she was practicing a whole lot more than just yoga as she states in this video but has tied everything to yoga instead of separating it. she mentioned tarot card readings, crystals, reiki, etc. and there is a difference between practicing yoga and practicing new age rituals and by integrating 2 very different things that have nothing to do with each other, yoga will forever have a bad stigma around it when it comes to viewing it from a christian standpoint. unfortunately this video is littered with misinformation.
Thanks sister for helping to educate the uneducated and calling out the hypocrisy of this person. I wish more yogis of any faith would speak up more on these videos.

We are not invoking any ancient gods because Hinduism is still being practiced and gods are still guiding us. Saying OM connects you to the universal consciousness.

My daughter currently. And she knows better.
I had a weird experience a month or so ago. I've been struggling with intrusive thoughts for about 8 yrs. The slightest thing can trigger me and send me careering downhill for weeks. Horrible. I hate it. I hate it for ppl around me.
About a month or so ago I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed reddish light around my bedroom side window. I thought it was a brake light of a car outside so was watching it then it started to shimmer.
What happened next was very confusing. I'm not sure if it was a dream and I'd fallen asleep or an hallucination and I was awake. (Full disclosure I don't take drugs and never have. I'm not on any prescribed drugs.)
The shimmering intensified and a muscular, red, long nailed hand was feeling through the closed window. The blind area went full red and pulsing and all I can describe as a "demon" was trying to get in. There was more than one but I could only see one fully. It was like a young version of the devil character in the film "Legend" with big horns. It was struggling to get in. I just laid there looking at it. I wasn't frightened...concerned it would get in but not frightened. I didn't feel fear. I just said to it in my head over and over "you're not welcome here - go!" The demon figure was slobbering with its tongue out like it was hungry. I toyed with waking my partner. I just kept saying it. And I could feel it withdrawing slowly until it went. I laid for the rest of the night watching the window. I even looked up slobbering demon on my phone.
I must have fallen asleep at some point. I told my husband about it in the morning. We're not religious or anything. He immediately said to me whether I thought it was a personal demon. I looked on my phone and I had looked it up at like 3am so it was either real or an hallucination. I didn't feel like it was a personal demon inside already- it felt very much outside me trying to get in.
But since that happened my intrusive thoughts have reduced so much...virtually to nil. When I have had one which isn't often I simply dismiss it.
Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to share. Im not religious but do believe in one god. I also do feel that evil is getting an upper hand in our societies at the moment. Love from UK.
I was raised Christian, got into all the same new age stuff she did.. and came back to Christ about 2 years ago.

@@mariamartins5796 So you don't believe in the power of Christ?
@@goldenrose1445 of course I do ,but I also believe that christ ordained a new covenant ,and said if you love me you will obey my commandments. Not just the commandments of the old covenant but the new. He never said we can ignore his commandments and make religions as we please.
@@mariamartins5796 My family left the church when I was 9 years old. Before I even could comprehend or understand the significance of God's word. I didn't ignore him, I was ignorant. There is a difference between disobedience and ignorance.. In my darkest moments I asked God for help. I remember a voice saying to me.. You can continue down this road, and it will not end well.. Or you can follow me and your life will become unrecognizable and full of blessings. I chose to change. I felt called to learn more about the Bible, and Jesus. Once I had learned the Word of God, I felt a tremendous amount of sorrow for how I behaved in the past and dishonored God. I asked God for forgiveness, I admitted I was a flawed human who needed him. I don't believe that God ever gives up on us, it is us that gives up on him. I would never consider somebody to be less Christian or less worthy of God's love and forgiveness because they lost their way.
Believing in Christ and using new age practices as a tool to further your spirituality CAN co-exist.
I relate to this so much. I was into the whole new age and self help, yoga, crystal healing, tarots, psychics.....the works for 30 yrs. During covid I returned to God and Christ and bought a Bible, which ashamedly I did not own. I am the happiest, healthiest emotionally and spiritually, my relationships and marriage are the best ever since turning to God. I pray more people wake up and turn to our roots......God.

@@nise5281 have you actually taken any actual yoga training/ certification? I did. A very long intense training. They are not secretive, just ask them. The asana, the physical portion of the practice makes up to 1% of what yoga is. It is to prepare your mind and body for the spiritual, meditation, religious side of it which makes up the other 99%. Not every studio is transparent about it, but most of them are.
😂
Yup. I was a famous best selling New Age author and crystal healer/teacher for over 25 years until Jesus said "enough!" And changed my heart. I walked away from it all and if you're into new age or occult practices, you should too!
Amen!
That’s amazing I didn’t realize god was so drastically calling out new age practitioners!
Truth!
I was raised with zero Christianity, completely in the secular world where nature religion and New Age movement was my spirituality for 36 years. So much money invested into training and skills and certificates to be a provider for "healing" modalities.... Then God called me by name and I had to walk away from it all. Big, BIG changes. So worth it. ❤️
There is no thing as "occult" you just have a limited grasp on reality. Emerging schizophrenic perhaps.
How is yoga new age or occult? Many new age christians should look into where christianity actually started... ie: the Gnostics.
One thing she said echos my own state when I got saved. My life was a complete mess when this thought hit me with such clarity: I had tried as hard as I could to make my life wonderful, and I was never more miserable. I gave my utmost best, and the result was my utmost worst. The fear that revelation brought was the most intense I'd ever felt, to know I was at a complete dead end. I faintly remembered something I'd heard in Sunday school when I was a child, something about calling on Jesus. So I did. I had nothing to lose. Just three simple words, Jesus help me. No big drama, no overwhelming feeling of deliverance, no rainbows and lightness and walking on clouds type of experience. I just stood up and went on with my life; yet I somehow knew that something had changed. That was almost 50 years ago, and looking back I can say with even more conviction: yes, something had changed.
This is so beautiful
Jesus is real. Amen!

I think for 90% of Americans who do Yoga, there is absolutely nothing religious about it.
I get that I'm the Catholic who does some poses that are based on Hindu religious poses but it's always been about the fact that is makes my back not hurt than some heathen worship.
Exactly! For most people it's about the actual physical balance it provides you, the muscle tone, the pain alleviation and the health benefits, it's not about anything religious at all!
Catholic here and you are correct in my opinion. Due to a bad back, I started performing a few yoga poses each morning before I even get out of bed. Its been life changing since there are days it's the only way I CAN get out of bed. No chants, no invitations to demon spirits, nothing remotely religious except the occassional "Thank God" when I get a good pop in my lower vertebrae lol. Just some very effective stretching techniques.
It’s not about whether it’s religious for you or not. The demons don’t care.
Let me join the choir John Reedy, as a practicing Catholic I have never seen no reason nor rhyme in avoiding what could be beneficial for my health . The word Yoga originally meant 'relaxing' ( according to my book at least) and what it does is basically moves muscles in the body that don't get used very often in our daily lives. This activity is what stimulates the endocrine system and hence the health benefits to anyone who even so much as attempts to do an asanas . However, I have never in the past 30 years have ever came across a yoga practice which encourages chanting or evoking spirits or other spiritual practices. (Maybe its some sort of American thing?) For spiritual practice I could recite the Lord's prayer in any bodily configuration, but that is not what a physical exercises are there for. I wonder how many gymnasts or ballet dancers or soccer players pray while exercising.
@@nessparadis6948 What demons? I have practiced Yoga on and off for over 30 years, and never come across a single spirit or demon in all that time. If it ever happened to me I would think I need to see a doctor.
These are the same kind of people who think individuals who aren’t born in countries with Christianity are going to hell
Please note that this is the Western version of yoga which has been bastardized to the extreme. Also, yoga in and of itself is good for rehabilitation of injury when done right. Anything sold as a quick fix is going to be problematic and that is not what this is supposed to be.
Totally agree! Yoga can be really great! I believe that Jesus learned also in India from Yogi teachers and learned about Buddhism, love to animals, not hurting, not killing them, not eating the death corpses no more and seek relief in breathing fresh air, ket pure water work, Jesus fasted 40 days to cleansed himself physically, mentally, spiritually. Yoga and believe in the Good, in God in Jesus goes both in both.
Surely someone has to be carefully to not get mentally sick by this spiritual awakening by Yoga and higher frequencies.
That’s called stretching. Yoga and regular stretching are 2 different things.
Yoga at it's root is an Eastern spiral practice. It has been muddied by Western practice but if you actually go down the path of the real practice it's actually much more spiritual and dangerous for a christian because you cannot separate it from its Hindu worldview or in the case of America , it's new age worldview and language.
So stretching the body, is great. Learning to breathe properly and how to relax through being still is great. But what and where is the mind being directed. But Yoga itself is designed to spiritually build the inner self and lead to self actualization and union with "the divine" to yoke yourself to the divine.
@@LaurenSheehan I can agree with your view and explanations. Thank you very much!
Jesus did not learn from yogi teachers or from Buddha friend. Jesus is the first and the last, The beginning and the end. He says He is the way the truth and the life and no one can to the Father except through Him. The Holy Bible challenges man: who are you to think you can teach God something or give Him counsel? Because the wisdom of man is foolishness to God. Jesus is God and therfore He would have nothing to learn from Buddha, expect to offer Him salvation if He were to accept Jesus as savior. @@thore0007

Michael, please continue presenting content on this subject. Our society is being pulled in so many religious directions nobody knows what to believe. Everyone is looking for the quick fix magic bullet "force/Energy" that brings them 24/7 happiness, wealth and fame. What they don't realize is what they seek is Love. Love IS the cosmic force they seek to make their lives better. Love IS the common thread that connects us to each other. Love IS the energy that creates the collective good and displaces evil. Love creates happiness for all. Love is God and God is Love so seek God and Love your neighbor as yourself.

@@trevoncampbell2744 What you gotta understand, brother is that Yoga is inherently a pagan Hindu practice meant to honor Hindu deities. That can never be changed due to the purpose of yoga.

@@trevoncampbell2744 the line is whether you are ignorant of its meaning or not. If you go about it, and don't know anything about what it is, how can you be blamed. But the second you know its hindu/pagan, then from that point on you are willfully dabbling in something you know is associated very clearly with wrong practice. The rest is just your justification to keep doing what you like, not what god likes.
How it comes off also matters. Because regardless of intentions. We are supposed to live our faith. So our faith is plainly seen and known. But if you practice those acts with a bunch a secular or Hindi/pagan people, your intentions aren't seen. Its your actions that are speaking, and they are saying that the pagan practice is worth more than your faith. And of you believe the bible when it says bad assosiation spoils useful habits, then being assosiated with it is enough to cause harm.
Truth: Most Christians avoid yoga anyway because they are terrified of losing their salvation. So this video is pointless. You are not going to do it so stop freaking out and condemning others just living their life how they choose to
People here know nothing about vedas and yogas but immediately call it satanic. Says a lot about Christians than Christ.
My family is Indian, and Christian (I already get a lot of inappropriate or rude comments at high school anyways from other Indians especially, but also other Asians as well), and from a young age, my dad and mom have been adamant in our refusal to perform any yoga. It's all from Hinduism, and is all about finding your chakras and becoming one with the universe, which is not Biblical at all.
But you're christian. So you dont actually believe these dieties exist right? Ganesha and shiva. Are fake. So therefore. People thousands of years ago were wrong. So. Why should that stop you from stretching in ways that their ancestors do?
That’s insane.
1 Corinthians 8:4-13

RSVCE

4 Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” 5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth-as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”- 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
Here is something biblical. Basically. Idols dont exist. Ganesh doesnt exist. So. Eating meat sacrificed to ganesh doesnt do anything to you. Doing exercises that these people do... doesnt do anything to you

In high school after (what I thought was) my serious ex boyfriend broke up with me, I got into the spells and "crystals". I was raised Catholic and truly thought I could use it in unison with God in order to get him back. I was suicidal, constantly journaling mostly innocent incantations like "God please get him back." It never worked, and I never got better. Once I started to kind of forget about it ultimately I got a lot better and partially moved on. I do believe there is an energy to things and people, but as she said, it's narcissistic because I thought I alone could change it and bring my ex back. As a 24 year old woman who also went through "gender dysphoria" around the same time in high school and into early college, those practices just capitalized on my grief and confusion. I am closer to God than ever, but I believe when I was more open to that stuff, I made it easier to invite "demons" who still haunt me to this day. I want to believe it's my imagination, but I don't think this one particular experience I had last year was... God is always with me, and I have a gift I got from my grandfather where we have a sense for things(he's better than I am), and I had an image of the future one time and it happened... but I always wonder is that God, or is it the Devil trying to lead me on thinking I can "see" beyond this world.
You might want to look into deliverance ministry. Fr. Chad Rippinger has some... interesting opinions, but his stuff on spiritual warfare is very good and helpful.
You are a common everyday used up, ruined, and leftover woman who needs to read the Bible…
You’re absolutely right. You may have a spiritual gift that makes you more sensitive to spiritual things/beings beyond the veil. The women in my family have also been blessed with this spiritual gift of perception and discernment from God.
I’ve learned over the years that demons can only come into us or inhabit our dwellings when there’s been an invitation of some kind, but once in they can linger long. There is power in the name of Christ to cast out the demons that haunt you. You can pray for that ability to cast them out yourself by commanding them to depart in the name of Christ. Or if you find they’re still lingering, there are those ordained with special authority from God to issue those commands in the name of Christ and the demons have to obey. My husband and I have been able to do this on certain occasions when prompted to by the Lord and I know others who have this gift as well. I don’t know if it can be done at a great distance though. I’ve always been in the physical space or able to physically touch the person when I’ve experienced this.
I’ll pray for you that someone with that gift can find you and give you that blessing to cast those demons out of your life once and for all.
"The King James Video Ministries" a.k.a. "Born Again Barbarian" is were I found the truth of God's word and the false hood of most of the church building stuff that I was apart of.

I learned you can't lose your salvation in this dispensation if you called upon the name of the Lord, and that the King James bible is the true word of God. And just like how the world rejected Jesus, they rejected his word, and Jesus is the Word.

Any reputable reiki practitioner will tell a client not to substitute reiki for conventional medical care and/or counseling. I've seen remarkable healing happen with reiki, but people need to take responsibility for their own healing process and not jettison conventional therapies. Unlike Christian Science, reiki practitioners do not promote an either/or philosophy if they have any integrity.
Just a friendly reminder Christian Science ≠ Christianity, they are two vastly different and separate institutions.
@@Lilacs4 I do know that. Maybe my reply didn't accurately reflect my views. Years ago I produced a video for a Christian Science organization and found the people to be intelligent and entirely ethical. While I did not see healing from their point of view, I didn't question their sincerity and have no negative view.
I also have been involved with Reiki for several decades, and I have known reiki practitioners who suggested that it was better for people to heal themselves than to rely on other means, and that is absolutely not part of traditional Reiki teachings. Reiki can be used as an adjunct to other conventional therapies to help the healing process. I've seen some remarkable things happen.
Yoga means "Union."
Yoga was created by spiritual practitioners in the East who were spending great amounts of time stationary in meditation.
They found this inactivity caused degradation of bodily fitness. So they developed a set of stretching exercises to engage in between mediation practices.
This over time developed into the practice of Yoga. But Yoga was not designed originally as a stand alone practice, it was merely a way of keeping the body fit so that the real practice of "union" with God could be maintained, which was Meditation.

When I've told Christians doing yoga they get upset at me.
So sad...
Just do the yoga poses and use the American names. Don't neglect your health and flexibility and strength and posture.
@@areascoda2912 or just do other exercises there’s tons of them
I also didn’t quite understand the reaction: did you start feeling sick (nauseous) right after doing the cobra pose? If so, it’s a normal body reaction to exercises that you’re not used to! If your body is not trained, try to do active running, and you’ll feel dizzy, nauseous, heavy breathing, increased heart rate, etc - those are just signs of untrained body! The whole point of working out is to get UNCOMFORTABLE - that’s how you gain stamina, strength, and flexibility.
Yoga IS an exercise! If your body is not trained enough, you’ll obviously feel discomfort. Just slowly increase the intensity of your workouts (don’t overdo it, coz it’s also bad), and everything will be Okay!
Also, no need to get into the “spiritual” practices. Just stick to the workouts because physical activity is good for us, that’s all!
like what? are you a very fit person? yoga is best for strong body and mind. your skin will glow and you will feel fresh. your digestion will improve. very few other exercise systems are as comprehensive.
Yeh you get sick for like a week or two when starting yoga its all the negative crap finally being released that you have been holding on to.

I was raised with Christ, however struggled with depression, anxiety, suicide, self harm, etc. I recently encountered deliverance ministry from John Ramirez teachings. The kind of freedom I now have in Christ compared to before has been amazing.

@@whynot1548 so basically. He was always there, so was the devil. I had no idea how to remove the devil or how to enforce my spiritual authority in Christ. God doesn't force us to change, He gives us a road map to follow if we want.
I've never heard anyone 'chanting' anything whilst practicing yoga. Whenever I practice along with a youtube video, the focus is almost always on zeroing in on your breathing, the idea of course being to engage with the present. I don't know how it's done across the entire globe, but it's always a secular practice for me that I do on light days in between much higher intensity workouts as a way of active recovery. I've never viewed it as anything else. Just my perspective anyways. It's never steered me away from Christ in any way, shape or form.
You got fooled. Real yoga is all about Hinduism, just do a little homework.
I like what she said was that yoga mean yolk, and we aren't to be yoked together with unbelievers, neither should we be yoked together with other practices that are done to other gods. You may not think anything about it but in the spiritual world, the spirits that are associated with it recognize it as you opening a door to more deception down the road and you are always an example to someone in your life and they may willingly open that door through chanting or prayer if they know that you think it's OK to do and if they look at you as a practicing Christian.
The devil is a liar and he's lies are very subtle. Don't open a doorway for the devil he's very cunning and he'll take it. Just call it simply resting to recover without the poses and anything likened to yoga. Because if your purpose is to heal and recover after workouts then simply do just that. Massages are good too etc.

I was on the exact path as her. I repented of ALL occult practices. I am on such a better path trying to walk with Jesus and his teachings. Practicing yoga IS practicing hinduism.. you can make stretch part of an excercize routine if you choose. Yoga does bring certain spirits imo.
Which spirits? And how can you prove this? If so. What spirits enter you when you sleep in your bed doing the corpse pose [savasana]

Yes yes , please please never ever do yoga , it's the most evilest thing there is and these Satanics Hindus have affected it with demons , and there's one more thing , these satanic pagan Hindus worship the sun as well , as Christians we should never look at the sun , and live beneath the sun always go out of your house at night , remember that and be a good Christian , and repent , repent before the lord if you have ever come across or felt the sun , which is a pagan satanic hindu god
⚠️ Even the yoga poses WITHOUT chants cause HEAVY SPIRITUAL (demonic) chains. Exorcists have been warning us of this for a while. 🙏
you clearly do not even understand the meaning of occult. the cult part is cultural and also apart of every realigion. occult just means hidden which most knowledge of any religion is.
My wife had a similar experience. In a way thankful for it, because it moved us to become Christians.

@JillValentine-ix4ql how so
Yoga completely transformed my life: it sorted out my physical and mental health. I do think there is a lot of egotism and nonsense in new age spiritual teachings - and I've seen a few people end up pretty crazy. But for me, studying eastern philosophy led me back to Christianity (it seems to have the missing piece of the puzzle - that we can't do it alone). Churches demonised mysticism of all kinds, and this is one of the reasons people turned their back on Christianity. If they want people coming back to Church, there should be healing and spiritual expericencss instead of just repeating phrases.
"Yoke" in Yoga is not about yoking spirits. It is about creating a yoke between you and God. The idea is that we are estranged from God and need to learn to put him back in charge of our bodies, minds, and spirits. They don't like the word "God" because mainstream Christians falsely turned that into a man in the sky with a beard.
Yoga, of course, has become corrupt and is used for egoic purposes, but then again so has Christianity.
If you have a pure intention, and stay humble, then it can be used for good. If you are just trying to boost your ego, it will lead you astray.
That's just what the enemy of our souls wants you to believe. He's an awesome counterfeiter.
The Divine sees the heart, because the Divine Is the Heart.
This was so interesting! I'm glad she shared her story! As a Christian, I'm so glad that I've never really been into yoga. Friends ask me to do it all the time and I'll do it here and there, but will never chant or any of that, but now I have a good justification for not going when they ask!
I've practiced yoga for many years and we've never chanted once in class. We listen to pop music actually.

"Angel cards are demonic". Right. Yoga is much older than Christianity and has nothing to do with "new age" anything and it is not religious. This kind of nonsense does your cause no good.
What is called Christianity was God's plan from the beginning and was only revealed when the time was right according to God's plan. Christianity was actually a God's plan from the beginning (ie: older than yoga and all of the other fake [false] religions).
@@glengardner4126 Prove it.

1. Yoga is not a Hindu practice, yes it comes from India, but so does Buddhism, Jainism. Yoga is a practice that rejected the authority of the Vedas. Yoga is the practice of clearing your ego so all that remains is the Self, that which perceives through you, and isn't dependant on your identity.
In hinduism, there is only One God, so when u are doing certain asanas, it's to mimic NATURE, not an actual spooky demi god that posseses you. Yes they acknowledge many Gods, but they know it's all metaphorical and are anthropomorphic representatives that allow abstract concepts to be more understandable. And they are all aspects of the one God.
Mantras are Sanskrit, which is supposedly a language channeled by ancient sages, the sounds are implicitly tied to their meaning, and your brain and body responds even if you don't understand it. They aren't spooky demon words, they are all about God and Love, and connect your mind to it. It's up to you if u wanna assume the worse, that it's all demonic or what ever.
Her bad mental health that led her into believing she is a star-seed it HER OWN delusion and not to be lumped in with Yoga and Hinduism. When ever a white woman learns what starseeds are they automatically believe that they are one because of narcissism. She was into astrology and reiki, again that's on her. In yoga, they suggest that you come into it with GOOD mental health so that way u don't dellude yourself. Yoga is POWERFUL and if u have bad mental health, it will cause it to become more prominent. They propose practitioners to get their shit together first, then practice, so that way they are pure.
Because she was so scattered everywhere, and barely understood any of the subjects she was into, the Bible being only one book that she can focus on allowed her mind to rest. If she is the type of person to believe in so many things then what makes her devotion to Christ any more objective than her devotion to everything else she got into.
Hinduism acknowledges that ALL religions are right in their own way and all lead to God. It's only abrahamic religions, so afraid that they're gonna go to hell, that denounce all other religions.
Hindu yogis are the most loving people on the planet, they literally have no Ego and adopt the midset that they literally are whoever their speaking to. They are much more wise about what god is than any priest, Christian or otherwise, that only knows god through a Book.
Yoga is one of the 6 Darshanas of Hindu practice. And Shiva is literally called the Adiyogi - the eternal Yogi.
Omg, thank you for writing this. I see that there are a lot of attacks from Christians that yoga is a demonic practice. But, none of the Christians ever suspect how the religion started. Catholics presented the Bible to the world saying that this was the only way to live. Let’s remember what Vatikan did and STILL is doing to the world. How many wars happened in the name of God? I do not deny the presence of God in any form. If any teachings help you to become a better person for yourself and others - go for it! But, do not say bad words about other teachings just because you do not understand them. Crazy.
Bhagwat Gita mention yoga pantanjali was heavily inspired by bhagwat gita
As a yoga teacher who has studied and lived in India, I feel it’s important to share some insights-not with judgment, but with love and the hope of fostering greater understanding. There is a significant difference between ancient teachings and modern new-age interpretations, and recognizing this distinction can help preserve the authenticity of these practices.
Many yoga poses are inspired by nature, reflecting the deep connection ancient sages observed between the human body and the world around us. Through these poses, we not only work to heal our body-our joints, muscles, and organs-but also cultivate a deeper sense of unity between the body and the mind. This union is the heart of yoga, emphasizing harmony and balance on all levels of our being. "Om" is seen as the original vibration from which the entire universe was born. In ancient Indian philosophy, it symbolizes the cosmic sound that connects everything in existence. Chanting it is thought to align the practitioner with the natural vibration of the universe, bringing a sense of harmony, unity, and peace.
The way these practices are often explained lacks depth and thoroughness. Much of the information shared today is incomplete and, unfortunately, distorted. Having studied yoga philosophy in India, I’ve come to understand the profound wisdom and authenticity of these ancient teachings, which have been around for thousands of years-long before Christianity.
Sadly, the modern "new age" trend has diluted and misrepresented these practices. In the West especially, these sacred traditions have been manipulated, leading to a proliferation of teachers who lack genuine knowledge or understanding of the philosophies they claim to teach. This misrepresentation often tarnishes the image of these ancient practices, which at their core are about union-the harmony of body, mind, and spirit.
Yoga teaches us that every individual has the right to choose their own path. Even within Christianity or other traditions, you’ll find those who lack authenticity-it’s a universal issue. Ultimately, there should be no divide. Religion, when misused, often divides us, which is why I don’t personally subscribe to any one religion. Instead, I align with the timeless teachings that emphasize unity, compassion, and self-discovery.
I’m sorry if these practices didn’t resonate with you or if you encountered a distorted version of them. The original wisdom of these traditions, which has stood the test of time, is profoundly different from the surface-level interpretations often seen in the new age movement.
This girl does not represent. She doesnt know much about it.
Her experience with Yoga is highly unusual: & this analysis of Yoga generally is rigid & narrow. Her willingness to believe that she's an alien shows what level of quality & depth is applied to her reasoning. While it can be spiritual, many people do simply use Yoga as a great exercise & way to relieve severe pain/chronic tension. Beyond that, to conceptually entangle Reiki, crystal healing, Hinduism, chanting & Yoga as if they're all intrinsically linked is an expression of a lack of ability to distinguish between wildly different concepts. Per the exercise science, Yoga as a physical practice is miraculously helpful. Those with back pain or chronic tension ought to do themselves a favor & benefit from the anatomically optimized series of strength positions & stretches.

I did yoga for my health, I know it’s origins but I always have Christ in mind. Lost weight, felt great and still,love Jesus Christ, you have to be strong in your faith. If you are weak and swayed easily it will happen to you anyway. Never have even read a self help book lol. Jesus is everything good. Discernment is sooo incredibly valuable.
Thank God for I read this comment of yours. Yoga actually has brought me closer to Jesus Christ. It's hard to describe this fact in words. Yet, it's happening to me and some other people in this world. Like you. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽🥰sending you hugs and peace!
[**Please note I am not trying to inferiorize any religion here, your opinion matters yes, but at least don't spread misinformation. As an aethiest myself, I have researched these topics well and my information is based on facts.**
]Aight, I need to step down and educate y'all, especially you good sir and madam. (Mr. Knowels and Mrs. Ucci).
1)Yoga is a word derived from the word yog (fact check: correct.)
It was created/achieved to control oneself and their minds of emotional stress as well as physical stress. The main goal is to remove _dukha_ (sorrow, suffering) from one's body and provide relief. (Not mentioned.)
2)The idea behind yoga is to become one with the universe, not god (in the video, Mrs. Ucci says- "....so it's an invitation for the Hindu gods....to come into your body." therefore, it is incorrect. No where in the upanishads or the rigveda has yoga been invoked to invite gods into your body)
3) "....and a lot of the poses are...reenactments/homage to Hindu deities." Never has yoga been defined as so, it has always been about finding yourself through control _yogas chitta vritti nirodhah _; it is the science of calming down the fluctuations of the mind.. I urge you to read the wikipedia article on this topic.
4) Coming to what Mr. Knowels said during 5:08 - 5:38 Seriously? Chanting prayers is also weird according to my religion, but I do not oppose your opinion. Chanting "Om"s have scientifically proven to benefit your body. The vibrations caused by such a practice provides stress relief.
5) Coming back Mrs. Ucci; she challenges to go and speak God's name in a yoga studio. It weird because it's a fricking Hindu practice. Yoga has become Jesus-centric. Which is disgusting, Christianity has ripped yoga off it's sanskrit roots.
Coming to the conclusion...what you people are promoting here is an anti-gnostic religion that has become christianity. Salvation does not come from faith, but inner knowledge. It is the scientific era, such things have become futile in juxtaposition to early ages.
Everything she says is true. I experienced the exact same things. You go down the rabbit hole because you think it will help you but it worsens everything. Since I came back to God I feel better than ever
Placebo effect.
@@pisonic I thought about it but it's something else. I don't fully know yet if it's a spiritual thing or a psychological metamorphosis, but either way it's a great path to follow. I would say that it's both spiritual and psychological change. Placebo wouldn't have worked in my case

@@lupusdei9022multiple studies have shown hindu yoga have positive effects in mental health but as you christian follow a shepherd religion without any philosophy so i don't think you would believe in science either but hey keep believing earth is flat and that earth is 6000 year old.
I spend a lot of time on "image" and what image is "this" from. What pattern each subject, noun or verb is from. I spent time in the Bible, dead sea scrolls, learned Hebrew, Jewish texts, gnostic texts, catholic texts and just staying in the realm of God seemed terrific, awesome, grandiose. To say the image of super strength, future sight and monsters and men isn't throughout these text would be wrong.
The reason I say this is, when I looked out at other cultures and tried to understand them. I looked to their origin stories and although is there an absolute truth and many roads may lead to happiness -all may not last forever- their stories all seem to have very similar images. Prayers/chants/mantras (recited verses as said/thought), and poses (prayer poses). Talking to spirits vs talking to one spirit. Letting spirits possess you vs letting the holy spirit take control (possess).
Then there's being born again.
Words are more than just words. The word is life. The word is God. Do not take it lightly. She said she was delusional when she believed certain things and it seems like Michael loved that. Just remember that what anyone believes can look crazy or disconnected when you cant see the full picture but these images are all connected. Like personally, I believe in the "Image of God" and that can look crazy on people too. Judgement is a crazy thing...

Islam and Christianity are the only ones that demonize other cultures and religions. It's a mental parasite.
@@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim Yoga is literally stretching the body. This is why christians are seen as mor0ns. You actually believe the act of STRETCHING your body is satanic or demonic.
You can't go into a yoga studio and say God's name because God doesn't have a name. But I'm really shocked the practices of yoga, Buddhism, and "aliens" are somehow intertwined here. What I can say is, we all go through our personal tragedies and in our darkest moments we all need to believe in something bigger than ourselves. In my teenage years and my early 20s, I was very much into Buddhism, yoga and breathing. This had tremendous benefits for both my physical health and my mental state. Later I moved for college, I got busier and I took up other sports. In later years, when I was facing some pretty tough decisions and I felt I needed spiritual support, I went to the holy books. All of them. I was reading different passages from the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, the Talmud. And a lot of these ancient truths resonated with me, and gave me meaning, and purpose, and the certainty that everything would be OK. So whatever you do to find comfort or search for meaning in your life, don't take it to an extreme and then you'll be fine. All spiritual and religious practices taken to an extreme do more damage in the long run than any short-term benefits. To me all organized forms of religions have the potential to turn toxic.
Yoga is a hndu practice
“So they shall put _My name_ on the children of Israel, and I will bless them(Num. 6:27).” According to this passage, God stated in very clear terms that He has a name.
bruh.....this is the most unrealized and backwashed American christian bs of what yoga is.
Michael knowles says the idea of past lives is stupid, but God taking human form and allowing himself to die on a cross makes sense.
I am a Christian and yoga has helped me manage my pain and anxiety. I often pray to Jesus when Im doing it. I dont see an issue with reclaiming this for God. Thanks!
… 🤔 but aren’t you listening to her testimony ?
I would say be careful, If someone plays with fire, they can get burned.
Also this reminds me of St. Paul to Corinthians : ““I have the right to do anything,” you say-but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything"-but not everything is constructive” and lastly, like she said in the interview: Do you think GOD wants this??? Does he wants to be “worship” like this?!

Sounds like she was a very disturbed girl that poked her head into dark places without anything approaching a guide. I found it very amusing she didn't actually know what a mandala was however. Embracing Christianity helped her find some sort of Peace more power to her I hope she just doesn't wind up using it as a another mask for ongoing problems.
I do yoga at a studio that does no kind of chakra alignment or religious teaching of the yoga. We do the exercises to Viking music. The teachers are devout, conservative Christians. There is a specific class taught that has Christian themes. It’s basically a Christian prayer-based meditation class. If you can find yoga-inspired classes that does this, go for it. If you are spiritually weak, be careful.
I do want to say, there are a lot of conservative Hindus in America. Hinduism is very misunderstood. Because it doesn’t have a core doctrine or set of beliefs, there are a lot of sects, some being very dark. My family is Hindu and conservative. I pray for them everyday. I myself is going through RCIA and look forward to baptism. I would encourage people to read a book called “Classical Hinduism” by A.L. Basham to understand how the religion developed into its current form. It is a good academic book. This has helped me break bread with my family and help them understand why I don’t believe the religion, culture, and society around Hinduism. India’s history is very complex. I always remind my family that the Jewish community has been in India since 1000 BC, and St. Thomas came to India in 52 AD.
Before anyone says anything about my parents, please know that a lot of the dark yoga and crazy Hindu practices we see in the West doesn’t represent a large majority of the people in India, who are just trying to live their life. Please be respectful towards my family and pray for them.
I do want to add that Catholics are free to do the exercises of yoga but are forbidden to participate in the spiritual. If someone is participating spiritually that is a contradiction to the faith. Catholic Answers had some great articles about this and even the Pope has addressed this. My final stance is this:
1. if you are spiritually weak, have your guard up and pick your studio carefully, or avoid it at all cost
2. understand what you believe
3. be respectful of others and don’t paint all people with one brush
Please stay away from yoga!
I read that some place does yoga to heavy metal. I've always wanted to do it, but there's not enough demand for it where I am.
Oh I love Viking music. I listen to it while I clean.
@@meowpurrrrr you definitely can. Most of the stretches we did in gym class as a little kid before yoga ever blew up to be anything. I know there are different types of yoga too and some of it is very spiritual. Others is literally stretching. Some moves for example are touching your toes, planking, etc. And, Pilates is derived from yoga. So many exercises and programs come from yoga.
Well friend if you put christian stickers on a ouja board would u call it sanctified and christian..no you can't same with yoga unless you want demons to enter you
Buddhism is older than Christianity btw. Buddha lived 600 years before Christ. Christianity would have been the new age for a Buddhist back then. Just because an age old religion - which btw has strict teachings pertaining to morality that everyone conveniently ignores - has been co-opted by the new age, does not mean it deserves being lumped in with crystals, astrology, tarot and all this nonsense. At least have some respect. No true Buddhist would ever talk badly about Christianity because there is respect. Many see Christ as a Bodhisattva / Buddha (which is a principle more than a person)
If you think that Christians would see your comment and respect your religion, you are wrong.
I have spoken to 100s of Christians and explained my religion but at the end of the discussion they just simply say ‘Still you are worshipping the devil and you will go to hell’.
There’s no use in talking to people who are deeply Abrahamised.
They demonise everything that’s not western and biblical.

Yoke? Yoga?
I had no idea, but makes me recall this verse..
"Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest. Take my *yoke* upon you and learn of me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you shall find rest for your soul"
- Jesus (Matthew 11:28-29)

@@famaleAlpha1 That if you’re struggling, stuck in life, exhausted, sick or experiencing problems,, whatever it may be wether big or small.. to seek His word and apply it to your life, strive to be Christ-like (humble & gentle) and pray to God daily in the name of Christ to give thanks and to ask for things that you need. In return He will take our burdens and carry it for us or give us the strength needed to carry it, He will give us the time and space we need to rest & recover from our troubles. Nobody except Jesus is perfect so of course its not gonna be easy but as long as we strive to seek Christ daily and follow His words with pure intentions and a genuine heart then He will help you find peace, love & joy. May God bless you‼️🙏🏼
I'm impressed that you did this interview, Michael. This is the truth and it's not popular but needs to be heard. Subscribed.
psalms 22:6 "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people." 🙏
I dont care about the religion behind"yoga" but i do appreciate stretching. So if the argument is "hey that stretching means you partake in false religious practice" i cant relate because i just want to keep my body fit and that involves stretching.
I am Hindu, I was introduced to Christianity and started going to church every Sunday, then Demons started visiting me on the nights I was very terrified. In the church I could not utter Lord Krishna's name. Then I realize I am worshiping a dead body on cross and inviting demons on my body. Then started reading bible Deuteronomy 28:53-63, God will make you eat your own children I mean eating human flesh is definitely demonic. Matthew 8:28-34, He Sends Demons into Pigs. So, he controls demons and send them wherever he wants. Then I am back to my religion and happy than ever.
Om Namashivaya..
So many misconceptions. No, Christians don't worship a dead body. They worship the one who defeated death itself. The crucifix is a symbol for the ultimate sacrifice Jesus gave for us by dying on the cross and rising again. Then, where do you get from that Christians eat human flesh? The Eucharist isn't literal flesh, it's the body of Christ appearing in the form of bread. I know, it's very complicated, the principle is called transsubstantiation. What's important to know that no Christian believes that they eat literal flesh. Also, sending the demons into pigs was just a way to get rid of them. Jesus has authority over demons, but he doesn't send demons after or into people. In contrary, he casts them out. The problem is, that they don't die, but wander around. Then, they just try to enter everybody that's near. That's why Jesus commanded them to go into the pigs, so that they won't attack the people standing around.
WE NEED MORE OF THIS PLEASE. It is a subject that needs to be talk about more.
Psalms 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people! 🙏
Maybe we'll all be surprised one day to find that Jesus was a yogi? Just a thought.
I used to be into crystals and tarot and I’m so glad I let all of that out of my life. When it comes to yoga though, I went to yoga school in India and they said that the stretching came to be just to prepare the body to sit in meditation for long periods of time. It never felt demonic to me or that I was bringing spirits into my body. I would go into shops that had Hindu God posters for sale and Jesus posters right next to them for sale. It was pretty peaceful. I love this conversation though! When I started getting rid of the new age stuff and focusing on Bible study and God, life got so much better for me. :)
Yes yes , please please never ever do yoga , it's the most evilest thing there is and these Satanics Hindus have affected it with demons , and there's one more thing , these satanic pagan Hindus worship the sun as well , as Christians we should never look at the sun , and live beneath the sun always go out of your house at night , remember that and be a good Christian , and repent , repent before the lord if you have ever come across or felt the sun , which is a pagan satanic hindu god , Christians should never ever use the number 0 as it was invented by these demonic , satanic , pagan Hindus
amen
Yogis love Jesus. It's western yoga that has messed with people's minds- it has been co-opted by the new age community.
Hinduism predates Christianity by thousands of years. Christianity is the "new age" religion.
But that's what the evil one wants you to think, that there nothing wrong with it, because it didn't feel wrong. It's not about feelings though, it's about truth. We may not be able to "feel" God with us everyday, but He certainly is!
Yoga does not mean yoke! This is incorrect. Yoga for most people is not part of a chant. Yoga is not spiritual it is a physical strengthening.
11:46 The love yourself thought process. "You'll never be able to love someone else properly until you learn to love yourself first." To me this is backwards. I personally believe you learn how to respectfully love yourself by learning how to love others first.
Love thy neighbor as yourself.
I agree, because if you do not know how to love others, how do you even start or understand how to love yourself? Great point
We must love GOD first, then GOD will teach you who you are and to love yourself and by that happening you will love another believer and especially your life partner exponentially more
@@NvdVeen Yes ma'am. :)
@@cryharder1877 Absolutely God first. Thing is I have yet to find a place in the Bible where God says to love ourselves. There are plenty of examples of individuals having bad results though when thinking about themselves first. Now there are descriptions of how as individuals we are to respect the body or temple that The Creator has given you.
To me real love is freely given without expecting anything in return and unstoppable love is real love reciprocated between two people. I grappled for quite awhile trying to understand how to properly love myself, due to people telling me I had to learn self love. Thank the Lord for the Golden Rule. For in that understanding I came to the conclusion that road of loving oneself would only guide me to how I should expect love from others.
The quote you used implies that you love yourself...who do you feed first, who do you take care of first? We all, through the self preservation instinct, serve our own selves first, as a default. The bible passage calls us to rise above ourselves, and to see others as ourselves- to love them as we love ourselves. To help them as we would help ourselves. It’s a call to widen our love outside our small circle of family, to show that love in a bigger way (to any stranger we might meet in our daily lives, even “the least among us”). It seems clear to me that the quote quite clearly presumes most people look to their own comforts and wants first. Now...in so doing, I think serving others also expands the love we feel in our own hearts, including for ourselves.
On a related note, as for putting ourselves down, or as this lady said, hating how we look in the mirror- that’s often a form of self-focused, self pitying, self obsessed attitude. (Or in her case, at least in part, she was in mourning.) We have so much fun talking about how we messed this up, or we just don’t look good in that dress, even our moods and depressions can be highly entertaining, and give us reasons to turn inward and ignore the outer world. The whole trans movement is an example of doing this- obsessing over your body in such a deeply selfish way that it’s breathtaking. A lot of what the west suffers from is “first world problems”- in the absence of starvation to think about, or plague, we realize how lonely we are, how we seek something more than just physical comforts. We’re seeking a deeper happiness, we’re seeking a connection, a love, that human life doesn’t ever quite give- not in a lasting way. Even the most beloved husband or wife- or grandmother- will someday pass away. That forever-love comes from God, and God alone.
It goes without saying these are just the thoughts of a random person on youtube. Take them or leave them. :)
Thank you sooo much for this! Angela may be just the person I’ve been praying for to help my 28 year old daughter!
🙏🙏🙏
This lady is telling my story. My exact pain when my gran passed. Wow. I did that stupid shit searching for someone to link me to my gran. It took years to stop that. Just like what she is saying.
I did it when my dad died. Started reading books and was about to begin a journey but the Lord stopped me before I could commence.

She says Yoga means uniting yourself with Hindu Gods. It means she hasn't understood Yoga at all. What Yoga does is uniting all the different senses in one direction. It has nothing to do with Gods. We have five sense organs which are powerful in their own way and can drive the mind in five different ways. So Yoga tries to calm down those senses and allows you to be in control of your emotions and keeps you calm even in difficult situations. The chanting that you said about is "Om" which means zero. It's said that it brings down the chaotic energy and associates your calmness to that sound or vibration. When I'm stressed, I say "Om" and it reduces my stress. There are no other chants, those are just rules when to take the breath, when to hold it and when to release it during the postures. And those postures are not related to any Gods but are inspired by nature. There are poses of a crane, a tree, a cradle and many more. There's nothing Satanic about Yoga. If you love Jesus and Christianity, it's absolutely fine but don't spread false ideas about practises from other faiths. Hinduism doesn't force you or invite you to accept this religion. It's totally your personal decision.
If you are doing YOGA (YOG) you are praying to GOD "SHIVA" 🙏🙏🙏🙏
And there is no such thing as Christian YOGA 😂😂😊
Nope...nice lie though.
You know that Jesus was a Buddhist monk right?
I thought I was an alien too ! It explained why I felt like a stranger and so out of place here on earth ! Crazy ! I also couldn’t understand that how after years and years of New Age study and self-help and 12 step programs and all of that at almost 60 years old I still felt as desperate and lonely and insecure and horrible as I did as a teenager something wasn’t right and getting back to my Catholic faith absolutely made the difference.. I now feel more settled happy peaceful secure loving accepting all the good things🙏
You were confused because only Christianity teaches us to look at the world objectively and realize that there is good and evil and then provides a method for adding more good. This is necessary and the point of spirituality, to be able to gleam ever so briefly as the human mind can't hold it all at once, where our place truly is in this world. When these imposters religions are believed they tell us lies and invite us to speculate even more, never providing the truth. All of these "new age" religions ONLY exist to be antithetical to Christianity. Their identify if you will, is just that they are not Christian.
accepting
Catholicism is idolatry.
Romans 10 versus 9-10:
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Praying the rosary or to Mary won't help only Jesus will.
@@thanamesny7807 yes it is
Disappointing, this truly seems like a hit piece on spirituality. This lady played with things she doesn't understand and is now demonizing Hinduism.
She is operating from fear and is full of crap.
Yoga is spreading all across the world because of the truly helpful benefits it offers humanity. It doesn't matter what religion you are, yoga accepts anyone. If it was bad or negative it wouldn't be healing to the mind body and soul. That's totally nonsensical.
The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word for union.
as Christians, we are not to enter a union with anyone but god or our wife.(see tantic yoga)
Incorrect it means "Union with GOD"
@@genegarbis8746 it means union you don't have to be yoked to God necessarily go look up the Tantric yoga example
Oh shut the F up!!! For 99% of people yoga is stretching
Yes yes , please please never ever do yoga , it's the most evilest thing there is and these Satanics Hindus have affected it with demons , and there's one more thing , these satanic pagan Hindus worship the sun as well , as Christians we should never look at the sun , and live beneath the sun always go out of your house at night , remember that and be a good Christian , and repent , repent before the lord if you have ever come across or felt the sun , which is a pagan satanic hindu god
@campanella I love Eckhart Tolle. 🥰
Speaking of Paganism:
* Christmas Trees came from Druid Paganism
* Christmas was placed on Saturnalia, which was near the winter solstice
* Easter was placed on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. The name "Easter" ultimately derives from the name of an ancient Chaldean goddess Astarte, who was known as the "Queen of Heaven." Her Babylonian name was "Ishtar." Since most languages pronounce "I" as ee, it's not hard to see how eesh-tar and its linguistic variants could eventually become Easter. As the goddess of love and fertility, Ishtar's symbols were-eggs and rabbits!
* A mitre is a hat from the Dagon fish cult. The most prominent form of worship in Babylon was dedicated to Dagon, later known as Ichthys, or the fish. In Chaldean times, the head of the church was the representative of Dagon, he was considered to be infallible, and was addressed as ‘Your Holiness’. Nations subdued by Babylon had to kiss the ring and slipper of the Babylonian god-king. The same powers and the same titles are claimed to this day by the Dalai Lama of Buddhism, and the Pope.
Moreover, the vestments of paganism, the fish mitre and robes of the priests of Dagon are worn by the Catholic bishops, cardinals and popes.
* Candlemas Day/Groundhog Day is the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. Coincidentally "The Baptism of Jesus".
* All Saint's Day? The day after the high Pagan holyday of All Hallow's eve.
Calling other gods pagan and hating what you don't understand. ☕
Why do you keep posting this everywhere?
I don't acknowledge it because this is silly! Sorry, but Yoga is used by most people to help with pain and muscle relaxation and gentle muscle strenghthening. If someone wants to get into the transcendental side then that is up to them, as a 60 year old I hurt all the time and the stretching and toning aspect helps and NO I do not, and have never chanted lol this gal seems a bit unhinged and I would not feed into her insecure reality, just sayin.
You don't need to chant or invoke spirits intentionally for them to come inside you, and I am not telling you this to judge you. But this is how it works. Yoga poses themselves invoke spirits to come into your chakras (=energy centers). So you are putting yourself in spiritual danger.
Wish a certain pastor's wife I know would listen to these things. Christians need to wake up.
As a yoga teacher I feel like I need to say something.. although I know my comment will not ever be seen. I’ve been practicing yoga for 7 years now, teaching yoga on the weekends. I have never attended a class where “chanting” or any kind of religious or demonic undertone was present. We introduce “philosophical” themes in the beginning of a class to invoke thought. Example: theme of last week was “loving kindness” I asked the class to sit in silence and think about how they bring loving kindness out into the world. Is it through helping someone in need? Cleaning after your spouse cooks? Etc. then challenge them to give that same loving kindness back to themself. We “OM” in the beginning of a class to come together, as one. But that is the only “chant” if you could call it that, that ever happens in 99% of yoga classes. There is no talk of gods or demons. Only cues for breath, body awareness to avoid injury and great workout. I think like everything in life, if you make it demonic.. it is. Yoga means “union” yoga is not for devil worship.
It means yoke. Hindus will openly tell you that the spirits and “gods” cannot be separate from the poses and it is 100% an occult practice.Regardless of intention.
@@YagirlM yoga has been westernized and geared towards fitness, not god. Maybe yoga in a different culture is focused on god but not here in America. There are many studies that show the benefits to mental health & clarity when yoga & meditation is practiced. I think comparing tarot cards and mediums to yoga is way off.
@@mackenziebaglione you missed what I said entirely. My job is to alert you, not convince you. It opens you up to demonic attack. You are of course free to do as you will.
@@YagirlM it does not mean yoke ? what is this yoke bullshit yog means sum or union
Western Liberalized yoga is some of the worst yoga. In India, a place where the government is nonaligned its much better. Liberalism is an ideology that doesn't believe in itself so it makes sense that she wouldn't believe in herself at the time.
Yes...it got conflated in the 1960s with the “free love” movement here. For a little balance, Gandhi was a practicing Hindu. Not much similarity between him and the average freu-freu crystal healing new-age yoga class attendee.
@@VardaMusic yes, on point
Yoga IS stretching!!! I am a strong Christian and in can go to a Yoga, stretching class, and that’s all it is. I’ve NEVER once been in a Yoga class where chanting was used whatsoever. Ev en if there were, my use in being. there is to stretch, not have a spiritual experience. If you can’t go to a yoga class without it upsetting your Christian values I’d argue that you need to strengthen your relationship with God and the faith.
If you’ve never been to a real yoga class with chanting then obviously you don’t know what she’s talking about. I used to take ashtanga classes living in Long Beach California and they were extremely spiritual with incense, meditation, chanting, and breath work. It isn’t right for a Christian, those were very dark times.
@@emraith9 What is "real yoga?" Is a yoga class not "real" if they don't chant? I bet the classes I've been in would take issue with that assessment. Obviously dont go to those classes, but obviously if its an Americanized no chanty version then thats just stretching. (Obviously she didn't differentiate between the different types of yoga so I'm pretty sure they were painting ALL yoga the same way)
@@jayburris6252 ok. Americanized “yoga” isn’t equal to the super spiritual hindu practice of Yoga. There’s clearly a difference
Saying god is not a problem. It’s the name of JESUS CHRIST!!!
Many times I've tried to caution Christians about those Yoga classes offered even in their church. They would try to tell me they were just going for the exercise. I always asked them why they would choose an exercise program that so clearly has an ungodly spiritual dimension to it when there are literally hundreds of ways they could exercise without exposing themselves to the possibility of ungodly spiritual influences.
Why do you(and what looks like a large percentage of the other commenters) believe that yoga stretches attracts demons or bad spirituality? the shape of the poses shouldn't matter should they?
They have yoga classes in the church??! Church leadership should really be careful about how they lead their congregation.. especially when it literally treads on the demonic realm.
@@davidbudzynski4847they claim to be so progressive yet they think doing different poses attracts demons ☠️
@@davidbudzynski4847because you have to look at the history of where it comes from. The word itself means to yoke and you have to ask yourself what are you yoking yourself too? Also nowhere in the bible did Jesus not his followers do stuff like that.
@@travonlove83190 it's a little bit "don't use your brain, it'll let the devil in" isn't it?
I feel like this is where so many Christians seperate themselves from God. All of these same criticisms of others beliefs could just as easily be applied to Christians when they use Christianity to make themselves feel good rather than to serve and glorify God.
There's a big difference between using religion to make yourself feel good, and actually worshipping Hindu gods/demons
@@alejandrocanela691 Right, because different beliefs about God, other than your own of course, is the work of the Devil. Only whatever YOU believe is the right way to think. That entire way of thinking is demonic!
The best advice I was EVER given about God.. "don't let man tell you what God is, rely on God to do that."
@@alejandrocanela691 Look up the story of 'The Blind Men and the Elephant' and it may just open your eyes. (Lol. Pun intended)
Idk about all the occult stuff but I used to be a pitcher and did a lot of yoga to stay limber, got to college and it was part of the program. I think as long as the intentions are pure then there isn’t anything wrong with it.
Primo!
And the Martial Arts
Nope
YES!!!!
I am a massage therapist, Working on triggerpoints in the muscles. the stretching that yoga does is unbelievably good for the body. I’ve never been to a yoga class but I do these yoga stretching as stretching at home there’s no meditation to some other God. I love Jesus Christ the Lord. Same with Reiki…. I believe in laying on the hands for healing through the name of Jesus. I would be very careful who I would get Reiki from, it is the intention!!
Look i like the DW. But my yoga practice includes Jesus as a visualization. The vedas are very misunderstood by conventional Christians.

The point is that yoga is witchcraft.
@@XiaoFury it is not but you are a free mind. You can make anything seem what you want it to be.
WTF !
it is cultural appropriation 😢
as someone who was raised christian and now still practices christianity as well as yoga I have a few words lol. in yoga teacher training they really try to hammer in the fact that yoga is NOT a religion. Although it is derived from hinduism, you do not have to be any specific religion to practice yoga. as for her statement saying that she can’t say “God” in a yoga class as a yoga teacher, that’s because Yoga is all inclusive regardless of any religion you practice! People from all different religious backgrounds come together to practice yoga and as a courtesy, as long as you haven’t advertised the class as a chirstian based yoga class, then why use words that might make others uncomfortable as some people really do only go to yoga class for the physical health benefits and not for any religious or spiritual purposes. The word yoga does mean “yoke” but its yoking body and mind. Not quieting your mind to invite spirits in but to clear your mind from the all the worldly things you think about on a daily basis. by quieting your mind, you’re allowing yourself to really focus on the deeper parts of you. it’s like going to therapy with yourself without talking to a stranger. you get to really hone in on your emotions and why you feel certain ways about different things. this is why journaling after a yoga session is often encouraged. quieting your mind is a form of meditation (which i know christian’s have negative things to say about that too, so we can substitute meditation for the word ‘prayer’ in this circumstance). there have been scientific studies to show that different parts of your brain get “illuminated” and “light up” when people practice meditation/prayer daily. it does indeed have benefits to reducing anxiety and helping to treat depression (again, this is proven by science.) for Christians specifically, yogic practices like breath work and meditation can be used to present opportunities to calm the mind and prepare the inner self to communicate with God in quiet solitude but i guess since yoga has been looked down upon from a christian viewpoint for many years, its better to follow what everyone else has to say about it instead of doing your own research 😅 It’s videos like this that will continue to give yoga a bad rep and steer more people away from it. she was practicing a whole lot more than just yoga as she states in this video but has tied everything to yoga instead of separating it. she mentioned tarot card readings, crystals, reiki, etc. and there is a difference between practicing yoga and practicing new age rituals and by integrating 2 very different things that have nothing to do with each other, yoga will forever have a bad stigma around it when it comes to viewing it from a christian standpoint. unfortunately this video is littered with misinformation.
Thanks sister for helping to educate the uneducated and calling out the hypocrisy of this person. I wish more yogis of any faith would speak up more on these videos.
Being a Hindu, I may not accept what you say but I will fight for the right for you to express your feelings in whatever way you feel like unlike other religions of peace ;)
The Abrahamics claim to worship either the only god or the most powerful among other gods yet they live in fear of demons lurking around every corner.
@@keshhan6412 Abrahamic religions are actually henotheistic, even if they say they are monotheistic. The idea of Satan is basically an extremely powerful deity. An evil deity, but a deity nonetheless. They acknowledge the existence of this deity, but only worship their one god.
