13. It's a channel in english dedicated to greek people?…

14. When I was an atheist doing yoga, I was surrounded by women in provocative clothing. Not a good environment for taming the passions!

15. Ignorants priests… Yoga is about ballance and union. RE – LIGIO means union, too. Same goal, slightly different methods. But the hate and the ignorance of pseudo orthodox priests are incredible. If you read the foundation of Orthodoxy, that is the Philocalium, you will find the same ideas and principles that you find in yoga. Calyst the Catafygiot, Gregory of Sinai and other holy fathers talk about the same things that yoga talks about: one essence, one energy, the only one, etc. Also the holy fathers speak of contemplation and the union of the mind with the one who is in us (the father, as Jesus says). Yoga calls this unique being the consciousness, life, essence or source of life. In the west we call him God. Is there any difference so far ??? No, only in the hated minds of orthodox priests who still keep naive believers in the darkness of ignorance by lying to them about things they themselves do not understand and do not know. The real orthodoxy is that of the holy fathers, and this means the philochalies left by the holy fathers, of which the most advanced on the road to salvation were Calist the Catafygiot. The orthodoxy delivered by the church today has nothing in common with the authentic orthodoxy of the holy fathers, because today's priests do not have the grace and the call to purity of soul and therefore cannot see the truth: "thank you for discovering these things to babies and you hid from the wise and skilful "- Jesus. Otherwise why they denigrate what can not understand, knowingly lying ??? "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," as Jesus says in the Gospel. Yoga, as a translation for the ignorant who disgracefully populate a church of hatred, as orthodoxy has remained ill today, meant union. Exactly the same thing means religion, from the latin "re – ligio". Priests are so miserable in their ignorance and especially in the worry that they lose their taxpayers – let's not forget that the church is an institution with financial interests – if they choose another way to find peace and maybe salvation. Anyone of the least intelligent can understand that yoga is as good a path as the christian religion. On the other hand, let's look at the results: a guru reaches what we call salvation (enlightenment, liberation), but a priest full of hatred has no chance. In Philocalium you will also find other advanced parents (holy fathers, the founders of orthodoxy) on the road to salvation explaining pure yoga techniques, such as visualization or, more simply for understanding those who had no tangent to anything beyond kissing relics, with meditation and breathing techniques (Gregory of Sinai) ): The natural method of St. Gregory of Sinai about the face in which one can enter the heart and leave it by breathing through the nose; and about the very prayer I pray, which is "Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy on me." This method also helps to gather thought. Gregory of Sinai says: "You know, brother, that the breath we have is occasioned by the air. And the air inspires it for the heart as well. For this breath is the cause of life and the warmth of the body. So the heart absorbs the breath to let out its heat through expiration, and let them cause a good temperature.The forerunner of this work, or rather her servant is the lung, which, being built by God with a rare fabric, like bellows, introduces and removes air without weight. the heart, attracting the cool air and taking out the warm one, keeps the undisturbed order for which it was built to thin the vital organism. So you, sitting in the quiet cell and gathering your mind, insert it where the breath enters the heart and force it to descend with the breath into the heart. And entering there, the mind, after uniting with the soul, is filled with unspeakable pleasure and joy." – classical concentration technique in the East. Was Gregory a heretic ??? Or are we afraid to see the truth in all that is? It is not the immortal (life, father, consciousness, source of creation, etc) that suffers from fear or anything else, but the ego–." So, get your brother used to not getting out of there easily, because at the beginning it is difficult to stay there because of the closure and distress. But, after getting used to it, he doesn't like walking outside at all. For "the kingdom of heaven is" within us "(Luke 17:21). To one who looks at it there and seeks it through pure prayer, the outside seems sad and ugly. Arriving here, you must not be silent and leave your mind in vain, but give prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy on me, as a work and a thought that never ceases and never ceases. stop it because it, keeping the mind untouched, makes it impossible to catch and touch by the attacks of the enemy, raising it to love and longing for God. The method aims at man becoming conscious at the height of himself and thereby of God. Thinking about Christ strengthens self-awareness and self-awareness strengthens the feeling of Christ's presence. We must make it clear to the lover of learning that if we accustom the mind to descend into the heart, with the entry of air, we will surely find that the mind cannot descend before any thought has been given up. to have become unitary and to have emptied itself, no longer possessed by any memory, except by the calling of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And coming out of there and going to the outside, or to the memories of many kinds, he shares (ravages) even without wanting to." Yoga uses the same and follow the same goal: peace of mind, discipline. You can understand more watching an indian guru, Sadhguru, which is a very, probable the most wise human today. Like holy fathers, about the impossibility of knowing with thinking (mind, in yogic terminology) the Life within us (God, Consciousness, Life, Source of creation), union with Father, which is in us (like Jesus said):

    About hatha yoga, with postures:

    About how we can evolve :

    About Jesus and retreat for recovery, as Gregory of Sinai said too:

    . And so on… OPENNESS

16. Hi, I merely wanted to say that i really liked your content, congratulations!

    I have subscribed to your C h a n n e l 😉 Maybe, You can do the same and we will become "real" Youtube friends

17. Many demons and evil gurus in the yoga world. Rootless and materialistic people who indulge in sinful behavior in the west are easily decieved because yoga does not enforce morality.
