KUNDALINI YOGA - Kundalini energy is occult energy - it is personal and supernatural - it can function independently of the person it permeates and infuses the individual. It can force spontaneous yogic and other actions, including worship - it produces a form of consciousness and personality alteration hostile to the Christian faith. It is related to evil pagan deities - it is described as “being possessed” by those who experience it - it’s demonic - Yoga authorities have said that all yoga is ultimately kundalini yoga and that yoga is meaningless without it. Kundalini is said to be the mainstay of all yoga practices. In Kundalini yoga, symptoms of mental illness and demonization are gratuitously redefined as emerging manifestations of “higher” or divine consciousness. Thus, people are not to question or fear the kundalini process but to surrender to it and trust it implicitly. Kundalini arousal or its equivalent is found not only in yoga; it is also encountered in scores of the new religions, many occult practices, and in some practices of New Age medicine. In a study of 70 new religions, there was found kundalini arousal, or something similar, in roughly 50% of them, particularly, New Age, occult religions. Kundalini energy is occult energy; it is personal and supernatural; it can function independently of the person it permeates and infuses the individual. It is related to evil pagan gods and deities.

BY J. WILLIAMS



“Kundalini” is a Sanskrit word meaning coiled.
In Hindu mythology and occult anatomy, the goddess Kundalini is thought of as a female serpent lying dormant at the base of the spine.
Interestingly the Bible describes Satan as a serpent (Genesis 3:1; Revelation 12:9; Revelation 20:2).
Coincidence?
Kundalini is falsely believed to be the Divine Cosmic Energy in bodies.
When aroused by yoga practices, she uncoils, travels up the spine opening the alleged psychic centers called chakras in the process.

It is related to evil pagan gods and deities; it is described as “being possessed” by those who experience it; it’s demonic!
Because all yoga has the ability to arouse “kundalini” all yoga should be avoided.”
What Are the Symptoms of Kundalini?
NOTE: most of the references and quotes used here on the “Kundalini syndrome” are in support of it.
I have put them in to enforce the fact that this is occultism and not of God.
_kundaliniserpent_hashtag_on_Instagram_•_Photos_and_Videos.pngEven those in the occult that practice “Kundalini” and other forms of mediation have strong warnings for those who are NOT properly trained in its “releasing” and the physical, mental and emotional damage that occurs.
Imagine how worse off the typical Christian is when thinking it’s of God and wanting more.
“Kundalini-syndrome. This psycho-spiritual and transformative process is believed to occur in connection with a near-death experience, or with prolonged, intensive spiritual or contemplative practice, as practiced within a few sub-disciplines of meditation or yoga.”
o  The process is not always sudden and dramatic. It can also start slowly and increase gradually in activity over time.
o  If the accompanying symptoms unfold in an intense manner that destabilizes the person, the process is usually interpreted as a spiritual emergency.
o  Studies have suggested some common criteria that describe this condition, of which the most prominent feature is a feeling of energy or heat rushing up the spine
Other symptoms: Category Symptoms Sensory and motor symptoms
o  The feeling of cranial pressures
o  The perception of inner sounds
o  Experiences of inner lights
o  Vibrating or tickling sensations in the lower back
o  Tachycardia (rapid heart rate)
o  Changes in breathing
o  Spontaneous bodily movements
_kundaliniserpent_hashtag_on_Instagram_•_Photos_and_Videoso  Sensations of heat or cold moving through the body
o  Localized bodily pain that starts and stops abruptly
o  Vibrations and itching under the skin
o  Unusual, or intense, sexual sensations
o  Mental and affective symptoms fear, anxiety, depersonalization
o  Intense positive or negative emotions
o  Spontaneous slowing or speeding of thoughts
o  Spontaneous trance states
o  Experiencing oneself as larger than the physical body
o  Experiences of paranormal consciousness
The following are common manifestations of the risen Kundalini:
o  Muscle twitches, cramps or spasms.
o  Energy rushes or immense electricity circulating the body
o  Itching, vibrating, prickling, tingling, stinging or crawling sensations
o  Intense heat or cold
o  Involuntary bodily movements (occur more often during meditation, rest or sleep): jerking, tremors, shaking; feeling an inner force pushing one into postures or moving one’s body in unusual ways.  (May be misdiagnosed as epilepsy, restless legs syndrome (RLS), or PLMD.)
o  Alterations in eating and sleeping patterns
o  Episodes of extreme hyperactivity or, conversely, overwhelming fatigue (some CFS victims are experiencing Kundalini awakening)
o  Intensified or diminished sexual desires
o  Headaches, pressures within the skull
o  Racing heartbeat, pains in the chest
o  Digestive system problems
o  Numbness or pain in the limbs (particularly the left foot and leg)
o  Pains and blockages anywhere; often in the back and neck (Many cases of FMS are Kundalini-related.)
o  Emotional outbursts; rapid mood shifts; seemingly unprovoked or excessive episodes of grief, fear, rage, depression
o  Spontaneous vocalizations (including laughing and weeping) — are as unintentional and uncontrollable as hiccoughs
o  Hearing an inner sound or sounds, classically described as a flute, drum, waterfall, birds singing, bees buzzing but which may also sound like roaring, whooshing, or thunderous noises or like ringing in the ears.
o  Mental confusion; difficulty concentrating
Why would I want a Kundalini Awakening? - The Dharma Templeo  Altered states of consciousness: heightened awareness; spontaneous trance states; mystical experiences (if the individual’s prior belief system is too threatened by these, they can lead to bouts of psychosis or self-grandiosity)
o  Heat, strange activity, and/or blissful sensations in the head, particularly in the crown area.
o  Ecstasy, bliss and intervals of tremendous joy, love, peace and compassion
o  Psychic experiences: extrasensory perception; out-of-body experiences; pastlife memories; astral travel; direct awareness of auras and chakras; contact with spirit guides through inner voices, dreams or visions; healing powers
o  Increased creativity: new interests in self-expression and spiritual communication through music, art, poetry, etc.
o  Intensified understanding and sensitivity: insight into one’s own essence; deeper understanding of spiritual truths; exquisite awareness of one’s environment (including “vibes” from others)
o  Enlightenment experiences: direct Knowing of a more expansive reality; transcendent awareness
Outside of the short-term physical effects of Kundalini, nothing produces more wonder and curiosity than the reported mental effects.
Along the path of raising Kundalini, yogis like Swami Saraswati reveal that some participants may experience mental clarity to the extent of supernatural ability.
Likewise, without the guidance of trained Kundalini instructors, a person can experience confusion, depression, hallucinations and other unpleasant mental disturbances.”
If you believe you have this spirit and want it expelled from you then feel free to contact me for prayer.
If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you can receive Him into your heart and He can deliver you from darkness and sin and have your name written in His Book of Life.
If you are sincere you can say this simple prayer to the Father (it doesn’t have to be word for word):
“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong.
“Please forgive me of all of my sins just as I forgive others. I need You in my life; I want You in my life.
“I acknowledge the completed work of Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross, I believe in my heart Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord.
“Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior.
“From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands.
“I ask this in the Lord and GOD Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”

J. WILLIAMS. I am a born again Christian who has been through many fiery trials and attacks from the enemy. I have everything from experienced sleep paralysis to a demon trying to enter my body. But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have been able to overcome them and exercise the authority God gives believers. I have now become much wiser and stronger in regard to spiritual warfare after the devil sifted me for many years.
By God’s grace may this blog be a useful resource for exposing the enemy and provide effective ways to receive deliverance in the authority and mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

The Complete Beginner's Guide To The 7 ChakrasThe spiritual experience achieved through the kundalini and chakras is undeniably real, and it may feel like a connection to the divine, but it is not of God - the message of Eastern mysticism is contrary to the gospel.

Got Questions Ministries



A chakra is a spiritual “power point” used in Yoga and Eastern mysticism.
The word chakra describes one element in a highly complex system of thought about the energies of the body.
The following terms are associated with the chakra. The definitions reflect beliefs held by many Hindus, Buddhists and practitioners of Yoga:
Prana – life energies found in parts of the body, also called “subtle winds.”
Subtle body – similar to a soul, this is a body of energy containing the chakras.
Nadis – energy channels, or meridians, that run like veins through the subtle body and serve as conduits for the prana. The central Nadi runs alongside or inside the spine and is associated with the central nervous system.
Chakras – the points of energy on the surface of the subtle body. Located along the Sushumna or the central Nadi.
   This and two other primary Nadis run through the core of the body, twining around one another and penetrating the chakras.
   In some traditions, each chakra is a central hub for thousands of Nadi. Each chakra is associated with a mantra “seed-syllable” (usually a Sanskrit word), and often with a particular color and deity.
What Are the 7 Major Chakras?The chakra, or chakras, play a role in certain types of medicine.
Acupuncture, for example, and other types of Chinese medicine claim to use body energies and meridians to promote healing.
Whether or not chakras exist, many people have found acupuncture to provide relief from pain. So, there may be a physical benefit to acupuncture independent of the spiritual philosophy behind it.
The real danger of belief in the chakras is in the spiritual overtones connected to it.
The chakras are central to a meditation technique known as Kundalini, which literally means “that which is coiled.”
Kundalini is also the name of a goddess.
How to Balance Your Chakras for Wellbeing | GaiaThe belief is that Kundalini is a divine force which resides at the base of the spine and, when “awakened,” travels up the spine (the central Nadi) and through each chakra until it reaches the crown of the head.
Along the way, this uncoiling “goddess” brings spiritual awareness to the individual. When it reaches the uppermost chakra, this force is said to generate an ineffable, highly mystical experience.
People who have engaged in this type of meditation will testify both to its power and its danger.
One Christian woman describes her pre-Christ experience with mantra meditation:
“Mantra meditation is so very seductive because it generates a very powerful, seemingly supernatural experience that can make one feel as if they are actually encountering ‘God.’ The first meditation I ever did at age 20 left me utterly convinced that I had experienced the presence of God.
“In hindsight, I believe that this encounter truly was supernatural. The Bible tells us that Satan himself can masquerade as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).
“So I ask you: would Satan be so bold as to actually pretend to be God? Of course he would. He’s no gentleman. It’s not like he would say to himself, ‘Well, that would be deceitful, I can’t do that!’ More like this: ‘That’s deceitful - awesome!!
“I wonder how many times I could trick people into thinking they’re encountering God before somebody starts to catch on?’
“And Satan was more than happy to give me an ‘experience’ if it would turn me away from the one true God.”  http://solasisters.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2009-01-01T00:00:00-05:00&updated-max=2010-01-01T00:00:00-05:00&max-results=5 
She goes to describe the frightening after-effects of this experience. (Listen to her story here: http://solasisters.blogspot.com/2010/01/fighting-for-faith-interview.html)
The spiritual experience achieved through this type of meditation is undeniably real, and it may feel like a connection to the divine, but it is not of God.
The Bible says that we should reject spiritual messengers who claim to be from God but speak “a different gospel” (Galatians 1:8).
And the message of Eastern mysticism is contrary to the gospel.
The gospel tells us that God reached down to save humanity, but Eastern mystics assert that man can, via various techniques involving chakras and Nadi, attain a godlike state or connect with the divine.
Belief in chakras is a deception that Satan uses to lead people away from the grace of the Lord.
Spiritual enlightenment does not come through chakras but through a relationship with the true God (Psalm 36:9).

YOGA AND CHRISTIANITY DON'T MIX - This Pagan Influence Could Be Affecting Your Faith - Yoga bears a pagan name and yoga is still very much a part of current Hindu and Buddhist worship. Wherever it’s taught, it mimics some of the rituals and ceremonies of pagan origin. And many people still use yoga to worship pagan gods. “Christian yoga” is an oxymoron. That’s like saying Christian Hinduism. Does it honor God to use an exercise program with a pagan name and pagan origins? Perhaps yoga has physical benefits, but we are not merely physical beings. We are spiritual beings as well, and things we do physically can affect our spirits. Because our bodies are temples of God's Holy Spirit, everything we do with our bodies should glorify God. Let’s exercise our spiritual discernment and choose activities that honor and bless the God of the Bible, first, last, and forever. Maybe, you can do yoga without harming your witness or your spiritual growth. Then again, you may not even be aware of the ways it has already affected your spiritual growth.

Why I Think Yoga and Christianity Don't Mix

Yoga and Christianity Don't Mix
This Pagan Influence Could Be Affecting Your Faith
Gail Burton Purath



This is one of Bible Love Note's resource articles not sent to subscribers. It may take you 5-8 minutes to read. It's made available to confirm and expand truths in the short, concise 1-minute devotions sent to subscribers each weekday.

Why I Think Yoga and Christianity Don't Mix
My goal is not to question anyone's faith or offend those doing yoga.
Could This Pagan Influence Be Affecting Your Faith?My desire is to make Christians aware of concerns regarding the practice of yoga.
I welcome comments and even disagreement, but please read the guidelines for comments at the bottom. Thanks!
Demon Possessed
In the 1980’s I was the program chairman for a large Christian women’s group for military wives.
One of our speakers was a woman who had become demon possessed through practicing yoga.
She had no interest in pagan or occult practices. She was simply doing something she thought was exercise.
She ended up in a mental ward and only recovered because a nurse shared Christ with her and prayed for her release from yoga demons.
This speaker warned Christians not to get involved with yoga on any level. She said it couldn’t be Christianized.
The Growing Popularity of Yoga
No one argued with her in the 1980’s, but today it’s a different story.
From 2012 to 2016, the number of Americans doing yoga doubled from approximately 20 million to 40 million.
Many YMCAs, community centers, churches, and grade schools now offer yoga classes.
Syncretism
While many of these classes claim to remove the Hindu elements, and some claim they are Christian, even the most sterile versions incorporate aspects of yoga’s meditation techniques.
This syncretism - the combining of different religions - is not a healthy practice.
It's Not the Same as Christmas Trees
Some folks are troubled by the use of Christmas trees because people once worshiped trees.
I don’t share their concerns because tree worship is not a modern religion, nothing about Christmas trees mimics rituals or ceremonies of past or current tree worship, and I don’t know a single person who worships their Christmas tree.
If it bothers a Christian to have one, they shouldn't, but it's not syncretism.
On the other hand, yoga bears a pagan name and yoga is still very much a part of current Hindu and Buddhist worship.
Wherever it’s taught, it mimics some of the rituals and ceremonies of pagan origin. And many people still use yoga to worship pagan gods.
What's in a Name?
“Christian yoga” is an oxymoron. That’s like saying Christian Hinduism.
Does it honor God to use an exercise program with a pagan name and pagan origins?
You will have to answer that question for yourself, but I hope you will consider the Scriptures below in the Bible study before making up your mind.
We are Not Merely Physical Beings
Perhaps yoga has physical benefits, but we are not merely physical beings. We are spiritual beings as well, and things we do physically can affect our spirits.
Because our bodies are temples of God's Holy Spirit everything we do with our bodies should glorify God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
"For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." 1 Timothy 4:8
Let’s exercise our spiritual discernment and choose activities that honor and bless the God of the Bible, first, last, and forever.
Maybe you can do yoga without harming your witness or your spiritual growth.
Then again, you may not even be aware of the ways it has already affected your spiritual growth.
Is any exercise program worth that risk?
Why is Yoga So Incredibly Popular?
Let's be aware that Satan is still very much our enemy, dear Christians, and he is called an angel of light because he makes evil attractive.
Yoga is one of the most popular forms of exercise in the world (source). Many of its followers believe it is the only exercise that keeps them healthy physically and mentally.
I believe the popularity of yoga is demonic. What toll is it taking on our witness and effectiveness as Christians?
It's so important that we stand firm (1 Corinthians 10:12; 2 Corinthians 11:3).
Whether you are currently doing yoga or just curious about it, I encourage you to do the Bible study below this devotion.
Don't let your enjoyment of yoga keep you from exploring the concerns and prayerfully examining the Scriptures that speak about pagan influences. Thanks!
Bible Study
Exploring Excuses for Doing Yoga
1. Let's start with the most common Scriptural excuse.
It goes something like this: "Romans 14 says we shouldn't tell other Christians something they are doing is wrong if it isn't specifically mentioned in Scripture."
This excuse flips Romans 14 upside down.
Romans 14 warns against doing anything that might cause your brother or sister with weaker faith to do something against their conscience. It doesn't prevent Christians from raising concerns.
And, most importantly, the burden in Romans 14 is put on the person who approves things, not the person who disapproves them:
"It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves." (verses 21-22)
This article explains how doing yoga can affect the faith of others even if it doesn't affect our own: Questions Christians Should Ask Before Doing Yoga.
2. Another argument people use for practicing yoga is that it's "just an exercise and no exercise in and of itself is pagan." 
While we are no longer under Old Testament laws, there are principles in some of these laws that are pertinent to us today. For example:
Deuteronomy 12:1-3: “These are the decrees and laws you must be careful to follow in the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you to possess—as long as you live in the land. 2 Destroy completely all the places on the high mountains, on the hills and under every spreading tree, where the nations you are dispossessing worship their gods. 3 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their Asherah poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names from those places.
These pagan gods were made of wood and stone.
There is nothing wrong with the wood and stone found in these altars, nor is there anything wrong with altars.
But God didn't want these stones, poles, and altars (designed for pagan worship) to be used to worship Him.
In addition, God wanted them destroyed. What they represented was offensive to God, even their pagan names were offensive to God.
3. A third argument for practicing yoga is that Christians can chant Scriptures instead of the traditional yoga chants.
Deuteronomy 12:4: “You must not worship the Lord your God in their way.
If you follow yoga meditation techniques and replace the Hindu words with Scripture verses, aren't you still worshiping the Lord "in their way"?
This command is repeated a few verses later:
Deuteronomy 12:29-32: “The Lord your God will cut off before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land,
30 and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.’
31 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
32 See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.
I doubt any Israelite began exploring pagan religions in order to sacrifice his son or daughter to a pagan god.
But that exact thing happened in Israel’s history.
And I doubt any Christian begins practicing yoga in order to hinder their prayer life or compromise their Christianity. But that doesn't assure that it won't happen.
For additional warnings:
Deuteronomy 18:9-13
4. Another argument to do yoga is that we are not living in Old Testament times so none of the above prohibitions pertain to us.
    However, these warnings are also found in the New Testament.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18: ”Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
17 Therefore, ‘Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.  Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.’
18 And, ‘I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.’

Guidelines for Comments:
When I raised concerns about the book The Shack, many professing Christians responded with angry comments and emails. If questioning a man-written book or an exercise program like yoga leads you to write rude comments, it's very likely that you’ve lost your discernment and objectivity.
Disagreement is healthy when done according to Scriptural guidelines (Matthew 5:22; Luke 6:45; Ephesians 4:29; Colossians 4:6).
Whichever side you are on in this discussion (even if you agree with this post), I hope you will use gracious speech when expressing your opinion. Stick to why you support your view, especially in regard to Scripture, and don’t make personal attacks against people who hold other views. Thanks!

Hi!  I'm Gail Burton Purath. I started Bible Love Notes to give people a minute of Scriptural encouragement in their busy day.
I don't have all the answers, but
since I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior in 1974, I've been learning from the One Who has all the answers!
I'm still a sinner, a learner, a student who falls down and disappoints God at times. But it's my desire to grow closer to the Lord, day by day, minute by minute.
I need to be challenged, encouraged, corrected and comforted, and I think you do as well...so let's learn together about the love of God--a love that is so vast that we will always be discovering new and wonderful things about it.
