Benefits of yoga - the Christian position
br p advantage of Yoga is double - increase healthcare costs and the Association of the spirit to the body. This is done by many aspects, especially through a combination of asanas or poses and breathing and meditation exercises./p This raises many questions in the Christian community. In my research for this article, I was very surprised by the attitude of the Christian defenders and their approach to yoga and its practice. I've been reluctant this item, because to write this perception. But I think the debate justifies this question and the position of the Christian community./p Yoga has a history of over five thousand years, at the beginning of human civilization. Little is actually known about yoga. Probably at Mehrgarh, a Neolithic settlement in today's Afghanistan. Scientists believe that grew from the stone age shamanism. At this early stage at the beginning of civilization, yoga is a community resource due to his efforts to the cosmic order by inner vision to create and apply in everyday life. In recent years Yoga has asked itself to an inner dialogue, for their own salvation and enlightenment to develop Yogis./p posted archaeological evidence for the existence of yoga in stone seals from the Indus Valley excavated. Many yoga asanas or poses representation in, and the official yoga in from around 3000 BC. Of greater import civilization also Yoga, combined with the large Indus Sarasvati, a time, it became as modern and efficient./p from the Indus Sarasvati civilization, ancient texts like the Vedas, the oldest Scriptures of the world known. The Vedas are a collection of hymns praising a higher power and has &# 228; oldest history of yoga. The Vedas call to overcome the boundaries of human operators and a higher intellectual level. In recent years as Brahmana written to the rituals and chants of the Vedas explain known texts. Then came Aranyakas texts where live Yogis practice described in seclusion in the forest. This led at the medical tradition of India as Ayurveda known. All in all yoga practice in health, harmony of mind and a way of life./p Galanthus's Christian position - an open mind for clearer thinking and inner vision, open the mind for demonic possession. It feels borders on occultism, yoga and the opening of the soul and the spirit for the benefit of Yoga is dangerous and Christianity preaches against anything. Christians believe that yoga is the practice of Hinduism, and cannot be separated the philosophy of Hinduism of their Christian faith, regardless of the health benefits of yoga./p agree a practising Buddhist I know with this position. For me, this shows a tunnel vision and bigotry. A Christian is expected, that to open their minds and hearts to Jesus in the spirit of the Lord. You are expected to leave blind faith, and to accept the word of God as the only truth in the world. A thinking person would hypocritical, because on the one hand, Christians should avoid Yoga preach since the opening of the spirit to clearer vision promotes demonic possession, but on the other hand, the ability to preach that the mind and an open heart to receive Jesus in their lives. Opening a heart and the spirit is just that - if it is even look, or to accept Jesus into their lives.If how Christians preach, are we open to demonic possession to protect as we look at ourselves and open for all ways can we open our hearts, the concept of Christianity? There is also a gatekeeper that makes this decision if we, who what decision way should we follow? I don't think that so... / p note, I grew up in a Christian family. My father was a deacon in a Baptist Church in the small village where we lived. My mother, we taught children everything to moved to the Mennonite Church Assembly of God Church and was rejected by my father. I think it dies days blamed my father for such bigotry. Life is a matter of choice, and my mother said, we have the illusion of blind faith but doing is what is right for us as an individual. And that's why I noble 8 go way.

Living in harmony is just that... / p to learn more about the benefits of yoga, visit my website at blogspot.com./p
