West. Many people taking Yoga say that it helps to release tension,

these are variations of traditional yoga disciplines, which are based
on eastern mystical principles. Yoga Definition: The term yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word 'yog' which means yoke up or to enter into union with. Yoga is an an occult tool or method with the spiritual purpose of joining the individual's self with the Universal Self, Soul as called the Atman, or Sanat Kumara... Although most Western

joining the individual self with the Divine, the 'Universal Spirit,'
or Cosmic Consciousness. The physical and mental exercises are merely
designed as a mechanism to offer
a set of disciplines or procedures to help the yogi remain focused on
achieving this occult goal, called self-transcendence, 'karmic
enlightenment,' or immortality. This work is supposed to be achieved
through the power of the 'transcended Masters' or higher reincarnated
beings. The physical yoga postures, called asanas, are designed release
the occult energy called chi, or qui (ki), which has a mind altering
power.... Despite is popularity amongst all
walks of live and the health professionals, the power of Yoga remains
one of the mysteries in life that boggle the mind. How does it work? Or
does it work? Or is it all hocus-pocus?
What is the energy, or power behind yoga and meditation? And not least,
are there any foundations in the claims that have recently been made
about Yoga being bad for you?
