Holy Yoga! Religious Yoga Hybrids Are a Godsend

YOGA, as you know, means UNION.RE-LIGIO[n] means TIE-BACK, rejoin.Yoga isn’t a religion, yoga IS religion. A religious practice, a way of life, “come down whole”, transcending origin or language or age or health.I’ve had my experiences with orthodox church people of all stripes — one of whom called it “diabolic” — and I’ve transcended that, too.Yoga is part of my life and my liberty: Study, service, and devotion.I have had deep and enriching spiritual experiences related to yoga — and other things — that I have had the blessing to carry on into other realms of my life. (The very fact that I have a memory of these events and that I have grown with them and been changed by them speaks of holiness.)

As a doctor, I WISH people would take the time to really get to know what they are made of . Yoga has shown me the errors of my ways in “healthcare” and made it impossible for me to go back, once having seen.

BTW: “Church” descends from Gk. “kouryon”, community.And I remain CONVINCED that Cat-holic means “come down whole”.

And I believe -BELIEVE– that Jesus was a yogi, Mahatma.HEALTH, Heal, WHOLE, HOLY, all descend from Sanskrit — UNITY.

Only divinity can do this. when I practice yoga –all 8 limbs — I think of it as asking the God of my understanding — ONE , LOVE — to align me with his will, including showing me how to surrender. So, MIND, BODY, and ATMA are made ONE.

The LORD be with you – and also with YOUR spirit.

Good article, even with the context of prejudice so near and words so hard to use.
