Book Description
BEATITUDES, CHRIST AND THE PRACTICE OF YOGA challenges us to face all the problems of life with new purpose and fresh vision. Difficulties do not dissolve magically because of our newfound spiritual journey. Harassment for thinking and feeling with the Beatitudes is inevitable; persecution for being merciful and compassionate may cause us great pain. Nevertheless, there is a keener sense of dying and rising within a ?yoga-treated? body as we mature in the likeness of Christ. BEATITUDES, CHRIST AND THE PRACTICE OF YOGA joyfully celebrates our rising to new life as we become fully aware and awakened to Christ's joy.

Should Christians Practice Yoga?
Author: John Weldon
Publisher: ATRI Publishing
ISBN: 1937136507
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Can a yoga-practicing Christian believe that he or she brings honor and glory to God through practicing yoga that they offer worship to God through the positions of yoga? Can they provide a specific biblical response to the Scriptures at this point? What kind of worship is the Christian presenting and representing to God through his body while in yoga postures? The Bible tells Christians to glorify God in everything that we do. "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do do it all for the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:13) "And whatever you do whether in word or deed do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17)

Jesus in the Lotus
Author: Russill Paul
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577318501
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Drawing on a deep knowledge of Christian scripture as well as Hindu philosophy, musician and teacher Russill Paul reveals that the mystical core of religion offers us much more than the simple solace of unthinking dogma. By demonstrating that these two seemingly separate and irreconcilable religions can actually unite in one person’s spiritual practice at the center of his life — as they did in his — he offers an alternative to religious intolerance and strife, as well as hope for personal liberation.

The Wisdom of Jesus and the Yoga Siddhas
Author: Marshall Govindan
Publisher: Kriya Yoga Publications
ISBN: 9781895383430
Category : Christianity and yoga
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
This book is addressed to serious Biblical students, Christians who are interested in comparing Eastern spiritual teachings with those of Christianity, and students of spiritual Yoga, otherwise known as Classical Yoga and Tantra, as well as students and practitioners of meditation and other spiritual disciplines. The discoveries of ancient manuscripts, and their analysis by independent critical scholars using scientific methods, provide much insight into the original teachings of Jesus. The sayings of Jesus, circulated orally during the first decades following his crucifixion are probably the most authentic source of his teachings that we have available today. These sayings are limited to a few dozen parables, aphorisms and sharp retorts, which were repeated in the oral tradition for two or three decades before they were eventually recorded by the anonymous writers of the Gospels. Remarkably, what Jesus taught through his parables and sayings exactly parallels the yogic teachings of the Yoga Siddhas. For those seeking to apply the wisdom of these sayings in their own life, the implications are clear. Seek not to know about God; instead, seek to know God through higher states of consciousness.

Kissing Fish
Author: Roger Wolsey
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 145683942X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Christianity receives a lot of attention in the media, but the most frequently discussed version represents a type of Christianity that sometimes turns people away from the Church. Kissing Fish presents a postmodern systematic theology of progressive Christianity, a growing movement that reclaims the radical message of the Gospel. This informative, contemplative, and entertaining book will guide you through the beliefs that inspire us to love one another in the transformative way that Jesus proclaimed, including practices that will take your faith to a new level. Kissing Fish is a scholarly yet thoroughly accessible introduction to progressive Christianity. While the intended target audience for this work would seem to be those who have either left the Christian faith or never adopted it at all; the work is filled with pearls of wisdom for all of us, whether associated with Christianity or not. Kissing Fish is a truly remarkable work, serving both as a reminder of the beauty and grace that form the central tenets of the faith, while offering a graceful yet prophetic rebuttal to its more exclusionary tendencies. Kissing Fish is part theological text and part tell-all personal spiritual journey. Imagine a down-to-earth combination of the works of Marcus Borg, Anne Lamott, Jim Wallis, Rob Bell, Shane Claiborne, Diana Butler-Bass, Brian McLaren, Walter Wink, Wes Howard-Brook, and Donald Miller. A profound romp that informs and inspires.

Pages : 180
Book Description
"Over many years of observing deeply spiritual women, I have concluded that they have something in common, whether or not they make religious retreats. They are able to find spiritual-spa-refreshment in everyday living. Somehow they have discovered ways to spiritualize their mundane tasks. ..." I'm convinced I've been overlooking an important source of spiritual refreshment, one I call "The Spiritual Spa." At this "spa" we can learn how to spiritually relax and shut out the voices in our heads, so that even changing diapers can refresh us and teach us. After all, it is those daily activities that provide clues to the mystery of who we are, why we are here, and why we are in this place at this moment in history.
