The Dangers of Yoga

A Research Collection

Are you aware of the dangers of yoga, meditation, mystical/occult spirituality, Kundalini yoga dangers, spiritual emergencies, and energy work?

Welcome to our young website and growing research collection!
The Dangers of Yoga website focuses entirely on the dangers of yoga, meditation, and contemplative mystical/occult practices. These 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—including yoga— to see if it is safe. Countless people, even many who are aware of the dangers associated with mystical/occult spirituality, willingly rush headlong into this vast smorgasbord of the unknown. This includes many spiritual seekers—young and old—who have no discretion at all about dangerous spiritual practices and the baleful intent of deceiving spirits.
Our website is dedicated to all who are ignorantly believing that any—or perhaps all—supernatural manifestations are true healings. Many people are zealously immersing themselves in practices mistakenly labeled as transformative and therapeutic. Perhaps you have mistakenly done this too, assuming that this is 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! The data and statistics suggest otherwise.

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

Yoga is taking Western civilization by storm!
​"It is no secret that Yoga is taking Western civilization by storm. In just a little over a hundred years, a mystical revolution has occurred that millions of Westerners have wholeheartedly embraced. Amazingly, the Western Judeo-Christian view is in the process of a paradigm shift toward the same perspective as yogic India. To illustrate the magnitude of the Yoga explosion. . ." ​Read more from booklet on the yoga dangers...

Rick Warren, New Age Doctors, and the Occult?
​"Rick Warren unashamedly sought “to listen to” (forbidden in Deut. 18:14) the counsel of doctors 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?"   —Caryl Matrisciana

The Dangers—Podcast
Listening to these audio messages will help you understand some of the established facts about Eastern (occult) and Western (esoteric) Meditation and Yoga--and the spiritual hazards associated with them.

Things such as the dangers of Kundalini arousal/awakening, spiritual emergencies, possession states, kundalini psychosis, physical injuries of yoga, psycho-spiritual meltdowns, and much more, are considered and warned about.

​Most people simply disregard these warnings because Yoga is popular, trendy, overtly sensual, and because yoga widely appears to improve health and mental clarity. However, the trade-off's for "wellness" on this one is spiritual. In the end—for many—it bites like a deadly snake.

​True to its nature as a a dangerous Eastern occult practice grounded in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and even pre-dating all of these, many in the West seek to justify their yoga ventures with this seemingly innocuous practice. However, the truth concerning yoga is found in yogic literature. Sadly, the tragic results are revealed through the countless lives Yoga has absorbed—and destroyed!
