"Yoga for Christians" is a great book (that comes with a DVD) and while you are getting such a great time of breathing and stretching, you are also getting an amazing time with God because you are focused on scripture and prayer, rather than the sun and the moon... I highly recommend them. We could all use a little more oxygen and a little more God! =)Megan Steelehttp://phytotherapy4me.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541541594755423362.post-41204613976291670752011-08-05T17:23:38.633-04:002011-08-05T17:23:38.633-04:00Soooo good, Sharon.

I'd never get into the breathing/trance and whatnot side of it, but often wondered if the exercise could be separated from the other non-Christian aspects.<br /><br />You have made some good point here, thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541541594755423362.post-91450618071052151172011-08-05T10:19:27.152-04:002011-08-05T10:19:27.152-04:00@Mark, Robin, and Maddie, Naomi, and Titus I like ...@<a href="#c7380943250667206554" rel="nofollow">Mark, Robin, and Maddie, Naomi, and Titus</a> I like this statement... "Anything can be used to glorify God or to bring him dishonor." Even if we stay on the "safe" side and avoid other spiritual influences, there are a lot of actions that can turn something we say we're doing to honor God into a stumbling block for someone else.

Nothing to do with Christ, but we have turned them into a christian celebration. Most aternative medicine is simply using the natural world that God Himself made.
