How spiritual practices like yoga can intertwine with biblical principles ?

 

To begin, let's expand our understanding of how spiritual practices like yoga can intertwine with biblical principles, demonic influences, and counterfeit spiritualities. This will help us understand the scope of their impact on individuals at the deepest level.

These practices, as we discussed, often create openings for spiritual forces to take root in a person’s life, subtly influencing their thoughts, emotions, and actions, and leading them down paths of deception and control.

The Spiritual Structure Behind Yoga and Counterfeit Spiritual Practices

In biblical terms, practices like yoga, meditation, and even transcendental practices (like Reiki, Binaural Beats, etc.) open doors to spirits that are not aligned with God. This is especially evident when you look at the spiritual architecture of these practices — from the serpent energy of Kundalini, to the false enlightenment of transcendental meditation. These things invite demonic influences that align with counterfeit spiritual realities.

Yoga and the Serpent Spirit (Kundalini)

The serpent spirit, as seen in Kundalini, plays a central role in many yoga practices. This spirit is often portrayed as a dormant force coiled at the base of the spine, representing power and energy. However, as Kundalini is awakened, it can have profound spiritual consequences—both good and bad—depending on the practices and belief systems involved.

In many cases, the Kundalini awakening is framed as a pathway to higher states of consciousness or enlightenment. But spiritually, it’s often seen as an attempt to bypass God’s true power and unlock knowledge that was never meant to be accessible outside of God’s will. This serpent-like energy can open a person up to spiritual deception and oppression.

Biblically, the serpent is a symbol of Satan’s work: In the Garden of Eden, the serpent enticed Eve to take of the tree of knowledge, offering her a forbidden spiritual experience (Genesis 3). The serpent represents deception and rebellion against God’s plan.

The Seven Chakras and the Counterfeit to the Seven Spirits of God

Let’s go into a more detailed comparison between the seven chakras and the Seven Spirits of God.

The Deceptive Power of the Enemy in Yoga and Meditation

In yoga and meditation, the enemy’s deception works in such subtle ways that individuals may not even recognize the spiritual forces at play. Whether through Kundalini, mantras, or the alignment of chakras, these practices often promise spiritual awakening and higher consciousness, but in reality, they can lead to spiritual bondage, demonic oppression, and disconnection from God’s truth.

Here’s a deeper dive into the spiritual consequences:

  1. Yoga and Opening Spiritual Gates: Each yoga posture (asana) and breathwork (pranayama) is designed to align energy in the body. While many may view this as harmless, spiritually, each practice invites and opens spiritual gates in the body, which can be influenced by demonic spirits if not properly discerned. The serpent spirit (Kundalini) is often directly connected with this.

  2. Demonic Influence through Mantras and Sounds: In many meditation practices, particularly Transcendental Meditation, repeating mantras is part of the process of accessing spiritual realms. These repetitive chants can lead individuals to open their spiritual gateways, allowing demonic forces to enter. Binaural beats also manipulate brainwave frequencies, inducing altered states of consciousness, which may lead the practitioner to demonic influences that masquerade as enlightenment or spiritual advancement.

  3. Reiki, Soul Healing, and False Healing: Practices like Reiki or soul healing aim to balance energy flows in the body. However, they are often rooted in occultism and false healing, opening people to spiritual forces that counterfeit the true healing found in Christ. These practices often mimic real spiritual healing through divine power but are based on tapping into false spiritual sources.

  4. The End Result of Opening Spiritual Gateways: As more people open these spiritual portals through yoga and meditation, they expose themselves to demonic forces—forces that, once they have entered, can manipulate thoughts, emotions, and even physical health. These spiritual gateways can lead to depression, spiritual confusion, and even spiritual possession if unchecked.


Deliverance and Restoration: A Return to God's Truth

For those who have engaged in these practices and opened spiritual gateways to darkness, deliverance and restoration are key. Through prayer, repentance, and invoking the power of the Holy Spirit, these doors can be closed, and the person can be set free. Healing is available through Jesus Christ, and those who have been spiritually deceived can be restored to a true understanding of the gospel and their identity in Christ.


Conclusion: What Is the Ultimate Goal?

Yoga, meditation, and all these spiritual practices are at their core an attempt to elevate the soul, find deeper meaning, and seek healing. But when practiced outside of the true foundation of Christ, they become counterfeit paths that lead away from the true source of life. The ultimate goal is not simply the opening of spiritual gates but rather an encounter with God and living in His truth. True enlightenment and spiritual awakening come only through Jesus Christ, who offers freedom from darkness and entry into the fullness of life and peace.
