A British exorcist claims that yoga may put people in danger of demonic possession.
According to Father Jeremy Davies, exorcist for the leader of Catholics in the UK, yoga puts people at risk from devils and the occult is closely associated with the scourges of “drugs, demonic music and pornography” which’re “destroying millions of young people in our time”.
- DNA World, “Yoga leads to possession by devils?“
In his new book, In Exorcism: Understanding Exorcism In Scripture And Practice, the seventy-three year old priest writes:
“The thin end of the wedge (soft drugs, yoga for relaxation, horoscopes just for fun) is more dangerous than the thick end because it is more deceptive — an evil spirit tries to make his entry as unobtrusively as possible.
“Beware of any claim to mediate beneficial energies (eg reiki), any courses that promise the peace that Christ promises (eg enneagrams), any alternative therapy with its roots in eastern religion (eg acupuncture),” he wrote in his newly published book.
Reiki, yoga, acupuncture - anything non-”Western”, basically, and you’re on the wrong path. Especially you occultniks:
Father Davies has also said that occult practices such as magic, fortune-telling and holding seances to contact the spirits of the dead are “direct invitations to the Devil which he readily accepts”.
Religious people can be so cute sometimes.
