The Dangers of Yoga and Meditation

A closer look at the dangers of yoga, meditation, and mystical/occult spirituality

The dangers of yoga, meditation, and contemplative mystical/occult practices have become commonplace more than ever. In the overall scheme of things, it appears that very few people seem to care at all about testing what is popular, to see if it is safe. Countless people, even many who are aware of the dangers associated with mystical/occult spirituality, rush headlong into this vast smorgasbord of the unknown. This includes many churchgoers, young people, and spiritual seekers who have no discretion at all about dangerous spiritual practices and the baleful intent of deceiving spirits.

Ignorantly believing that any (and perhaps all) supernatural manifestations are true healings, they zealously immerse themselves in practices mistakenly labeled as transformative and therapeutic. Many think that this must be progress on the road to enlightenment. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. The fact that something is accessible and considered very popular does not necessarily mean it is safe!

More often than not, spiritual carnage is the deadly result of spiritual ignorance. Psychotic episodes, chaotic mental states, undiagnosable diseases, and all manner of psycho-spiritual illnesses that cannot be treated by medical doctors—this is the world of mysticism and its deceptive fruit. We hope that the resources found on our website will help you avoid the monstrosity of spiritual darkness that millions are calling “light” and that so few will genuinely avoid.

"Rick Warren unashamedly sought “to listen to” (forbidden in Deut. 18:14) the counsel of doctors [The Daniel Plan campaign] who “imitate the detestable things of nations” that God has specifically instructed His people not to listen to or practice. Eastern philosophy practices “divination”, “witchcraft”, interpretation of omens”…“sorcery” and so on. Why would Rick Warren ask his Christian congregation to be involved in what God forbids (Deut.18:9-14) and deliberately lead them down a path offensive to our Creator God the Father?"
