Thank you for reaching out to me regarding the topic of yoga and the Catholic Church. Here are three sites to review regarding this topic. i think topics like this become possible places of anger and animosity among believers and there really is no reason for that. We are all on journey with God and it takes a lifetime to evolve and grow into the saint we were created to be. With that in mind we all must be kind and loving at all times in our discussions and sharing about topics of interest and our faith walks. God has given free will to each of us and we must never try to take that from anyone....ever. The key in communicating as believers is we share Knowledge and Truth and discuss our own opinions always willing to listen to another and then take it all to prayer....this is the key....take everything to God in prayer...and then be open and pliable to do what He tells us! If we sincerely are open to God's Perfect Will, Understanding, Way of Living, then He will not deny us that! And so i suggest you share these sites with your friends and let them take this to God individually and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Who loves us more than anyone else ever could, will come and clarify as only He can in the minds and hearts of all those who sincerely seek Truth. i know your sharing was out of concern for others to understand some dangers you have learned about but i think it is always good for us to apologize and ask forgiveness if we get too pushy or unkind or even arrogant in our sharing and that often happens when we fight for what we believe in. i know you well and i know your heart....but maybe it is time to share with your online community that you suffer Traumatic Brain Injury and maybe you could not express things in the most loving way or the way you wanted to because of a Mental Handicap. i think we all have to become more able to give the benefit of the doubt when dealing with each other especially in the written word....we need to have patience because even people who consider themselves, 'normal', suffer from imbalances...good days, and bad days and many in between which all affect our interactions with each other. i also think if you share about your disability, you free others who suffer from any similar limitations to be open about their sufferings and in this sharing you love on others who do not have a disability and do not understand by helping them to learn how to be more compassionate and kinder in their dealings with others. Please note i continue to pray for you daily and even more consciously now, all those who have been a part of this yoga dialogue. May Jesus, the Only One Who never leaves or forsakes us, continue to mold us into His Image so everyone we meet or are in anyway in contact with will want to know the Cause of Our Joy....To HIM ALONE be all Glory and Honor and Power forever and ever! AMEN!
til next time....let's read 1Corinthians 13.....slow and self reflective...
