Yoga and the Occult
When I was in my late
teens, early twenties, I was very interested in learning more about connecting
with myself and finding myself. I wanted to find out about deeper and higher
levels of consciousness, so I could connect with who I truly was. I wanted to
connect with the universe and the power that it held. I knew it was a part of
who I was and that through this connection I could find the answers to life’s
greatest questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Why was I born?

HOW TO SEE
THROUGH FATHERS EYES
WHAT WE
ARE……
During this time I did a
lot of searching through eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism,
etc. I learned about meditation, chakras, channeling energy, using crystals to
bring healing and alignment within the body, yoga and more. I practiced all of
these things on a regular basis in hopes to reach enlightenment and to become a
better person. I wanted very much to be a good person and it seemed these were
things that were going to help me bring that out.

I was very open to the
eastern religions as I studied them, because they were the polar opposite of
what I knew and believed about God. I believed God was a faraway guy up in the
sky, which looked down on people and judged them harshly. In eastern religions
there are many different gods, and they all hold important roles in life. These
religions offered to help you cut through the limitations of the human mind and
body to move closer to a god like status yourself.
Yes, they knew God, but
they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to
think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became
dark and confused.
Romans 1:21
I would often spend time
in meditation trying to “empty” my mind. I wanted to get to that god
consciousness. I would then spend time with my crystals and gemstones, each one
serving a specific purpose. Sometimes I would hold the gemstones to meditate on
its qualities (such as
love or peace) and sometimes I would place it on my chakras to help
bring that good and healing energy into my body. I spent a lot of time with the
crystals and gemstones in order to put my own energy into them, and then bring
the positive energy out of it.
I would then practice
various yoga poses that I learned from a book I had, that taught all about
higher consciousness and Hinduism. I wanted to awaken my mind, body and third
eye. The third eye is related to one of the Hindu gods and is the gate to your
higher power. I loved doing yoga and even taught my boyfriend all about it. I
felt great doing it and made a point to make it a part of my daily routine as
often as possible.
At one time I even
ventured to a Buddhist temple to learn more about the religion. I found it very
interesting, but I was not going to be bound to any one religion. I enjoyed the
freedom to pick and choose from different religions so I could find what worked
best for me. Yoga was practiced at this Buddhist temple along with meditation
time. At that time yoga was not as popular as it is now, and was not considered
a form of stretching only, but a form of meditation and spiritual discipline.
You were taught, with
regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being
corrupted by its deceitful desires; to
be made new in the attitude of your minds;
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness
and holiness.
In The Name of God, Most
Gracious, Most Merciful
Paul said, "It is NOT
I That Lives"
It is not "I"
that lives but Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20). It is not "Self"
that lives but "Christ" lives in me. It is not "Self" that
lives but "The Anointed One" - the One whose head/mind is anointed
with the "Oil of Understanding" - the oil that lubricates the
"seized-up" mind and gets it working again, understanding the TRUTH
or WORD of God. It was, or is, "seized-up" because "Self"
was, or is, jamming-up the works and blocking the channel through which the
Holy Spirit can flow to "lead you into all righteousness" and wash
you clean from inside, as it flows through you and then your "cup
overflows" to others, to wash them clean with the TRUTH and the Light of
understanding, that the now "working mind" receives in a Life united
with God, its supply of understanding; oil and Light. Then the Light of
understanding with its "shield of faith" (Ephesians 6) effortlessly
and painlessly conquers the fear and darkness of ignorance (given by Satan and
maintained by believing his lies) that lives in you. God thereby teaching you,
from within ("in-tuition"), to be like Him, so that you need no man
to teach you (1 John 2:27) because his "Self" will get in your way.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father Which is in heaven IS perfect.
Ephesians 4:22-24
As my life moved forward
and changed drastically, I no longer had leisure time to meditate or spend
hours reading books on eastern religions or do the witchcraft I was so fond of.
I let go of a lot of the practices, but yoga was one of the things I held on to
because it was relaxing. And as our culture progressed yoga began to become
more and more popular, to where it was easy to pick up a dvd of yoga and pop it
in a few times a week.
I continued that practice
on and off for years, even when I became a Christian. As far as I understood,
there was nothing wrong with yoga. It was good for the body, mind and soul, and
it also felt good all over. It took me some time to realize that I had always
used it for a spiritual practice, and that spirituality was not compatible with
the One and True God of the Universe. As I grew in my relationship with Jesus
Christ, I began to realize that you cannot disconnect from the spiritual nature
of the practice of yoga.
Eastern religions have
always been popular because of their claims to reach higher levels of
consciousness along with the exotic world of colours, the beautiful art work,
the statues of gods, and the positive feeling that seems to permeate it. It
seems to be able to morph with the times, giving freedom to the hippies of the
sixties, and health and well being to people today. What is not understood? Is that each one of
these religions is based around spiritual principles aligned with the many gods
and goddesses, or the teacher who is like a great leader and prophet of sorts,
who is worshiped like a god.
Pure and genuine religion
in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their
distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
The Story of the Lost Son
The Parable of the Prodigal
Son (also known as the Lost Son, Running Father, Loving Father, or Lovesick
Father)
James 1:27
Practices such as yoga,
meditation, channelling energy, tai chi, kung fu, karate, acupuncture, mantras,
mandalas, reiki and feng shui are all based on these spiritual teachings or
principles that incorporate the gods and goddesses or the channelling of
energy. All gods and goddesses are false gods aka demons. There is only one
God, and He is the One who created the heavens and the earth. Any other “god”
is like Satan; looking to become like god in order to gain power and control
over humanity.
Channelling energy is an
age old occult practice. Demons use energy as one of the ways they can move
from place to place. They use this energy movement to transfer from person to
person, person to object, etc. It is a form of witchcraft and it is not a
practice that brings a person into alignment with the Spirit of God. Even
meditation is a form of moving energy, as you are trying to move your energy
into a certain direction, thought pattern, or process in order to gain
something. That is witchcraft.
Doing these eastern
spiritual practices is aligning your-self with the kingdom of darkness. It is
practicing inviting the demonic into your being and into your life. It can
cause great harm to your physical being, as well as your spiritual being. Once
you bring these practices into your life, you are also inviting these demonic
entities into your home and your family. Yoga in particular is very dangerous,
because of the momentum it has gained in our world today, even within the
Christian church.
See to it that no one
takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition,
according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
Colossians 2:8
As I grew in my
relationship with Jesus Christ I understood that yoga was a spiritual practice
to invite demons in. What I did not realize was that I was taught to use yoga
to channel demons into my being during satanic rituals as a child. During one
of my inner healing sessions that I have weekly, the Holy Spirit revealed to me
how yoga was used in satanic rituals. Each specific yoga pose has a purpose in
opening you up to the alignment of your spirit and soul with different deities.
It is channelling the kundalini spirit through your spine, said to be the
lifeline of your body.
prayer-on-my-knees
The kundalini spirit is
harnessed by the power of the goddess Shakti from Hinduism. It was that
particular energy that I was to ask into my body while doing a series of
specific yoga poses to channel it inside of me, so that I could align myself
with the goddess power she offered. I had no conscious memory of this event
until the Holy Spirit revealed it to me, because during extremely traumatic
events a child’s mind has ways of fragmenting these terrible memories into
places where the conscious mind cannot access them. Without this ability a human
could never endure this great of a trauma and survive to function normally.
There are many other
individuals who have devoted large portions of their lives over to the
philosophy and lifestyle of yoga and eastern religion who have now come forward
and stated what the Holy Spirit has revealed to them. Yoga is a new age
deception to bring innocent people into alignment with the kingdom of darkness
and channel demonic spirits into their beings. It is dangerous and has
consequences beyond our understanding.
Now if you faithfully obey
the Lord your God and are careful to follow all His commands I am giving you
today, the Lord your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth.
Deuteronomy 28:1
If you have participated
in yoga of any sort, I urge you to take time off from the practice as you
devote yourself to prayer in asking God to reveal His truth to you. We must
bring everything before the Lord Jesus Christ to see things from the
perspective that is far higher than our own. He is beyond time and space and
knows all things, and it is that wisdom that we need to seek in order to have
clarity and discernment in a world full of darkness and lies.
God does not hate anyone
who has done or is doing yoga. He loves every single person period. He
understands the hearts and minds of people and knows why we choose to do the
things we do. He wants us to have freedom from our bondage so we can have an
even deeper revelation of His Spirit. It is only through this freedom that we
can truly experience and know God’s heart and His love for us. The devil wants
to steal that from us by convincing us his dark arts are actually healthy and
good.
We are on the brink of the
Promised Land. Unless we are to step out in faith and take the hand of the One
who loves us most, we are never going to taste the fruits that He has planted
there for us. We do not need to listen to the lies of the world, full of empty
promises in order to find hope and peace. We need only look to the Author and Perfector
of our faith to know these things. Jesus Christ is hope and peace, and so much
more. Your Father loves you more than you can even imagine. Step out and let
Him show you.
Christian Yoga: Bringing the Kundalini Serpent Into the Church
I originally wrote this article in 2016. Periodically, I bring it back out for Christians to read. The devil will always whisper to the children of God: “Yoga is fine! Just don’t do the meditation part.” He’s a liar.
So here is the article once again……
Nothing seems to get a heated debate started faster than challenging a Christian who practices Yoga on this subject.
“But I only do the stretching part.” I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this. This article is written for the sake of clarification and education on the practice of Yoga.
WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga (/ˈjoʊɡə/; Sanskrit: योग, Listen) are the physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines that aim to transform body and mind. The term denotes a variety of schools, practices and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism (including Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhism and Jainism,[ the best-known being Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. The term yoga is derived from the literal meaning of “yoking together” a span of horses or oxes, but came to be applied to the “yoking” of mind and body.- source
Yoga:noun a mystic and ascetic Hindu discipline by which one seeks to achieve liberation of the self and union with the supreme spirit or universal soul through intense concentration, deep meditation, and practices involving prescribed postures, controlled breathing, etc. a system of exercising involving the postures, breathing, etc. practiced in this discipline source
A Christian who studies the Word of God, should instantly see red flags and discern that Yoga and Christianity are not compatible. We see in the definition “Yoga is the physical, mental and spiritual practices or disciplines that aim to transform body and mind.” What does God say about transforming our minds?
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2)
Immediately we see a problem between transforming our minds in Yoga, and being transformed by the renewing of our minds according to the Word of God. As Christians, God wants our minds to be renewed, so we will be able to know His will for us. God wants us to be closer to Him. He speaks to us through His Word. He is our perfect Father.

“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3)
We know that the practice of Yoga is rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism. As Christians, do we want to open up our minds to something that will transform us to be more like Hindus or Buddhists? Ok, when we see it in black and white, it seems unthinkable. But this is exactly what practicing Yoga is accomplishing in your life.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 14:12)
Next we see in the definition – The term yoga is derived from the literal meaning of “yoking together” a span of horses or oxes, but came to be applied to the “yoking”of mind and body.
Another red flag should easily be seen by a student of the Word. Let’s see what God says about being yoked together:
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14)
The picture of oxen being yoked together is used by both Yoga and the Word. In Yoga, the goal is for mind and body to be yoked together. It’s a Hindu discipline to bring mind and body into submission – but to what end?
Were you aware that every Yoga pose is a posture of worship to various Hindu gods? In this way, the person is making offerings to millions of Hindu deities! Of course, these details are left off of the “Welcome pamphlet” in Yoga centers. People are coming there to stretch and relax and be energized, right?
THE KUNDALINI SPIRIT
In an interview with Dave Hunt of the Berean Call (Dave is now with our Lord) the subject of the Kundalini Spirit was addressed:
“In spite of the advertisements and talk about health and fitness yoga’s real goal is to awaken Kundalini power, coiled like a serpent at the base of the spine, ready to spring up to manifest itself through the alleged chakras, (centers of universal force) of the body.” Now, what exactly is Kundalini yoga, or Kundalini power, for that matter?”
Dave Hunt:
“Well, to put it bluntly, it’s demonic. There is no way you can explain it physically, it’s a non physical force. There certainly is nothing coiled at the base of the spine, three and one-half times coiled like a serpent that’s going to spring up when you get in the proper state of consciousness, supposedly. This is the same occult power that all the occultists are in touch with, or try to be in touch with.” – source
In yoga, the student is told to empty their minds to prepare for meditation. An empty mind is exactly what Satan likes! Look at what God says about meditation:
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14)
We meditate on His Law and on His Word. We FILL our minds with the goodness of our Father’s perfect and Holy Words. Do you want an empty mind, or a mind filled with God’s Word?
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)
We have seen the videos of holy laughter and other aberrant behavior in churches. Do we have to wonder from where the spirits came who wreak such havoc with children of God? Could it be that so many Christians are practicing yoga and are bringing the Kundalini spirit into their services? I have read that Hindus who knowingly seek out the Kundalini spirit, behave in similar ways during their worship. With the uncontrollable laughter and rolling about on the floor, it would be hard to tell the difference between them and a charismatic Christian service!
Over thirty million people in America practice Yoga. In the 1960’s, Transcendental Meditation came on the American scene. It was a time of self realization and finding the meaning to life within oneself. Society pushed God aside, and replaced Him with Self. Secular humanism is the new religion, and it has caused the moral decline of our society. If there is no God, then there are no moral absolutes, right? Unfortunately, this ideology has crept into the Church as well.
CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THE WORLD
How will we persuade a lost world that they need to repent and trust Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins, if we look just like them? God wants us to come out from them and behave and live like His children. When the world looks at us, do they see Jesus? That should be the prayer of each of our hearts – daily.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1)
If we try to fit into this world, we not only ruin our testimony, but we put ourselves in jeopardy of falling away from God. Do you not know that the devil seeks to destroy you all day long? He is the accuser of the brethren. He is a liar and the father of lies. If we don’t cling to our Father and study His Word, we become prey for the enemy of our souls.
YOGA AND NEW AGE PRACTICES
I have heard Christians talk about the evil of New Age practices, and yet they practice yoga. Somehow our churches have placed a stamp of approval on yoga. A brother or sister in Christ would never think of attending a séance or play with a Ouija board, or see a spiritist for a reading. But these same people will go to their yoga classes and enthusiastically invite others. It’s time for the truth about yoga to be told to your family and friends!
Writing this article will certainly not win me new friends. As a matter of fact, some may choose to ignore the warnings and consider me a bit fanatical. But hopefully others who have wondered about yoga, will be glad that they now know the dangers of it.
Don’t forget that the Evil one – the father of lies – the author of confusion – Satan, wants to take you away from the Lord. Hold fast to what you know is right. Turn away from evil. Cling to Jesus and His Word.
1 Peter 5:8
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

PLANET EARTH, a Garden of Eden full of life and beauty. Everything a human+Being needs to be able to live and co-exist with other human+Beings, in a caring society, in harmony with the natural environment, where everyone puts others before themselves.
So what went wrong? Why are we living now, in a society in which most people are afraid to walk down the street at night, where we have to lock everything in the fear of others stealing from us.
It seems that fear is the root of all evil in this world. Our fear of poverty; loneliness; ridicule; war. Where do these fearscome from? Why do they control us and make us do the 'Self'-ish things that we do.
It seems that the leaders of the world use fear to control us and manipulate us into conforming to their "System" of control. They have made up fraudulent legislation that has made us, the majority of people, slaves to them. We spend our whole lives working, often doing jobs which are destructive to the environment, only to pay excessive taxes to these people, being left with only just enough money over to survive and perhaps have a family of our own, so our children can grow up to become slaves to this evil "System"; just as we are.
So what do we do about it? We can't just refuse to work under their "System" because they control the legislation and simply have anyone who refuses to conform either thrown in jail or put in an institution, and labeled insane. The truth is, they are the insane ones who are destroying the planet by having all the trees cut down and are destroying the environment, that we live in, for money for themselves.
There is ONLY One Way to stop these people, and that is to prove their evil "System" wrong (which they are already doing by themselves by destroying the planet) and show them The Real Law which is perfectly fair and unbiased; is friendly to the environment and has been there for thousands of years.
The Torah is the name given to The Laws; Statutes; Judgments; Agricultural and Economic Policies that were handed to Moses on top of Mt. Horeb in Sinai by The Ruler of The Universe and is The Perfect System for the world to use, as it was given by a totally independent body (God); so is perfectly fair and un-biased. These Laws are contained in The First Five Books of The Old Testament of The Bible; the originals of which are kept in The Ark of The Covenant, which is buried in a hidden subterranean tomb at The Hill of Tara (Torah) in Co. Meath, Ireland.
When The Ark is recovered The Laws that it contains can then be reinstituted into society. This will prove that the people currently in positions of authority, running the "System" we are forced to live under, were never allowed to make up their own legislation and they will be forced to go back to God's Laws and redistribute all of the wealth that they have defrauded from the people and hoarded away. That money should then be redistributed evenly and fairly back to the people that it was taken from in the first place - the lower and middle classes.
The Ark of The Covenant needs to be recovered immediately, before the people who are currently running (ruining) the world totally destroy the planet we are living on in the name of "economic growth". Please help us stop the destructionof the planet, by supporting us in our endeavor to excavate a small section of grass (2m. x 2m.) at The Hill of Tara(Torah), Co. Meath, Ireland; to expose the entrance to the hidden subterranean tomb that The Ark of The Covenant is buried in. The recovery of The Ark is the ONLY WAY that we can prove that the evil "System" that we are forced to live under is unlawful and wrong, and in so doing we can permanently put a stop to all corruption and oppression now happening on Planet Earth.
