Anyone battling anxiety/panic disorder?

That yoga is not of God.
Flirting with satan himself.
Like dumping a garbage can of demons on your head and cc members

Even if we choose to embrace God fully, we still have to unlearn the things our bodies have been doing because of fear, depression... etc etc. Even if we chose to embrace his will for our life, we are still deeply troubled by intrusive thoughts and reactions to those we are to weak to control. Having faith in your self to be all that God has made you to be is hard for a person who may rely on others to fulfill their needs. Anxiety comes in many forms of fear in something, and if you have victimized yourself so much, letting go of the fear of yourself, and embracing yourself as confident, worthy, and able can be one heck of a ride. I feel immensely for your pain and pray for all who suffer from mental illness ❤️

Oh, just to clarify something about Yoga. There is no worship of any deity in any Yoga classes I've ever attended. It's simply a way to honor one's body by stretching, deep breathing, and focusing on one's good health. God wants us to honor our bodies and take care of ourselves. Yoga is a way of doing so. If anyone tells you that Yoga is "evil", they are simply wrong, and probably haven't ever tried it themselves.

Christians speak against yoga because its origins denote it as part of ancient east Indian religious practices. Here's what the country who holds the origins of yoga say on the matter.

According to https://www.mea.gov.in/in-focus-article.htm?25096/Yoga+Its+Origin+History+and+Development an official government site of India...
"Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline"
"As per Yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness"
"Thus the aim of Yoga is Self-realization"
"Yoga has proved itself catering to both material and spiritual upliftment of humanity"


According to http://www.yogabasics.com/learn/history-of-yoga/
"The word yoga was first mentioned in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda. The Vedas were a collection of texts containing songs, mantras and rituals to be used by Brahmans, the Vedic priests."
"Yoga was slowly refined and developed by the Brahmans and Rishis (mystic seers) who documented their practices and beliefs in the Upanishads, a huge work containing over 200 scriptures."
"The most renowned of the Yogic scriptures is the Bhagavad-Gîtâ (Hindu scripture), composed around 500 B.C.E"
"In the late 1800s and early 1900s, yoga masters began to travel to the West, attracting attention and followers. This began at the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago, when Swami Vivekananda wowed the attendees with his lectures on yoga and the universality of the world’s religions "


According to https://yogasix.com/history-of-yoga/
"however, the physical exercise is a part of the multidimensional practice; it has a meditative and spiritual core."
"One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga, which has its own epistemology and metaphysics "


According to https://www.allaboutspirituality.org/history-of-yoga.htm
"the practice of yoga is much more than a system of physical exercise for health. Yoga is an ancient path to spiritual growth"
"Since it is taught by the yogis that everything is God, it then stands to reason, man is God"
"Yoga views man’s problem primarily in terms of ignorance. Man simply does not understand he is God so the solution is enlightenment, or an experience of union with God."
"Can the methods used in the yoga techniques for exercising be separated from the philosophy? The answer is a distinctive “no” because yoga is considered to be a practice of psychosomatic exercises."


So the foundation of yoga is in 5000 year old pre-Hinduism and declares it a spiritual act with the intent to realize you are God to obtain universal consciousness. I don't need to try it myself to read the history, roots, origins and purpose to know what the intention of it has been for 1000's of years. That act of doing yoga, actually, in no way qualifies anyone to know whether it qualifies as evil or not. So that is a false logic. By that logic i don't know murder is evil because i've never killed anyone. But that's not the way the world operates.

The yoga I practice is just exercise. There is no chanting. lol
Ever heard of Diamond Dallas Page? Yeah...it's his Yoga that I do.
DDP Yoga.
Tell him his yoga program is "evil". lol
I'd love to see his reaction.
He has helped many, many obese people shed the weight. He is doing a lot of good in this world.
So no, I don't think it's evil.
But thanks 😉

It's easy to set preference as priority over the facts in front of us. We all do it.
And I'm not likely to let DDP determine such things for me.

Are there good videos of yoga for beginners that you would recommend that does not involve meditation but only physical exercise like stretching?

Yes, search for DDP Yoga. That's the program I do. Diamond Dallas Page was a WWF Wrestler. I wasn't into WWF, but my brother watched a lot of wrestling in the 80's. haha. Anyway, he had some injuries as have some of his friends. So he developed his own workout program using elements of Yoga. But it's simply for exercise, shedding weight, getting in shape, and taking care of your body. It has nothing to do with anything spiritual, at all.

my uncle got so bad, he saw kids coming in his window when there were none....they found out that he was lacking in magnesium. I agree with the person that said, its a lack of vitamin/minerals.....its true....the mind can get off balance even if there is no trauma in someone's life, ...such as PMS...... change of life age, effects mood changes, depression...etc.
..................I experienced depression in my life years ago and was delivered ...it had gotten so bad, that I literally felt my spirit detaching from my body, I said out loud, .,I PRAISE YOU LORD!!!!! and it stopped, the crying stopped I was calm and thought I had lost my mind, going from non stop crying wanting to die, to calm.......the next day, it came on me 3 times worse, I called my sister and she said, praise the Lord again it worked yesterday...I did and it left...so then I recognized it was demonic ( dated a person that had severe mental problems and didn't know it at first , plus he was an alcoholic and had not told me. said he was saved....but satan deceives people I have seen ( he did get saved before he died) anyhow, he had a lot of demons, and I honestly feel they were tormenting me, you cant open doors to the dark side by associating with someone that has demons, ..for 3 years I had tormenting depression and would have to praise the lord to make it stop and one day after 3 years, it released and has never returned. it was after that time, I had a out of body experience that has made me so strong and bold, its amazing. ...
so that all being said, sometimes it can be a demonic attack. some are health issues, like my Uncle only needing magnesium....after he started taking it , he was normal. The body can get so many issues if not handled with good eating and praying...fasting.....we do some things to ourselves with bad food. pray and ask God to show you how to be delivered.....and it is not a lack of faith, my goodness, if that was the case, there would be a lot of people dying left and right...lol...there is only One person on earth that walked on water, be careful not to judge wrong, so you wont be judged back with the same judgement.... just sayin

a small break through share : I just recently started taking Turmeric Curcumin 500mg.... you find it in the herbal / vitamin section...... I got it for my knee, was told it will help with joints pain, ....well, one tablet made my mind be so different , it was like I could conquer the world, it was like my outlook wasn't discouraging anymore....I cant wait to see if it does that continually. God delivers us from things through people or vitamins...or whatever he chooses.

Wade,
I am in the same boat. I suffer from extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I just get desperate sometimes and yes I believe in God and cry out to him in prayer a lot! I am 81 yrs old and found out in August when I went to ER that I have thyroid disease . I had been sick for quite a long time and am down to 69 lbs ,also have had this anxiety for yrs and yrs I think this is making it worse tho.
The pills for thyroid I have been taking for 3 months and they do not seem to do anything that I can tell. I am also going the natural route and trying all that as well. I saw some good advice abt that on here
My family thinks I should have made more progress than I have and are tired of me. I am probably driving them crazy!
Wade, I understand you completely and others I have seen on here too. I am the same way !
I would love to talk with you and others too.
Btw I cry out to God for faith every day and I still lack Lord, help me my unbelief
