![IS MEDITATION OKAY? [3 of 4] Opposite of Christian prayer, Hindu meditation is inwardly focused on one's own spirit, seeking to supposedly gain self-awareness through this occult practice. What does the Bible say about that? Are we supposed to focus on ourselves? No! Romans 8:5-6 tells us to deny ourselves, because focusing inwardly only leads to death. But using our minds to pray to God in a conversation leads to life and peace. So, meditation is nothing at all like biblical prayer. "Those who practice transcendental meditation are setting their minds on their own spirit, looking within themselves in order to transcend themselves, rather than on the Spirit of God. Searching one's own mind—or emptying one's mind of all thought—may result in numbness or a temporary escape from reality, but...cannot bring true [and lasting] peace.” Meditation is for getting people into an altered state of consciousness (a hypnotic state), making them highly suggestible to dark spiritual realms we do not want to mess with. Unfortunately, before getting saved, I practiced meditation as part of the New Age
movement—resulting in close encounters with actual demons! | image tagged in meditation,yoga,god,bible,hindu,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rne2o.jpg)
![IS MEDITATION OKAY? [2 of 4] The Hindu technique of mediation is something Jesus warned us about. He told us not to pray like the pagans, who babble on and on. The Greek root is almost a direct translation from "barbar," referring to the barbarians who lived in foreign lands. The Greeks called them barbarians because when the Greeks heard them speak, it just sounded like, "brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah, brah…” So, Jesus is telling us not to be like the pagans, who sound like barbarians when they pray to their idols. And meditation’s mantras (chanting words or phrases) are just repetitious babbling. Jesus said not to do it, because it’s not the same as biblical prayer. When we Christians pray, obviously it is not about the Hindu practice of focusing our mind on repetition of meaningless words or phrases. We pray directly to God, speaking to Him using our mind and intelligible words—we have a conversation—telling Him how much we love
and appreciate Him, as well as requesting help. | image tagged in meditation,god,yoga,hindu,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5rndn3.jpg)
