The Boundless Way

In Search of Schrödinger's Cat [the history of Quantum Physics] author John Gribbin writes of new hypothesis "The fear among the experts was that by introducing [....new ideas] they would be destroying the fundamental basis of quantum theory. But they were wrong".

He continues "it was time for young minds unencumbered by ideas that 'everyone knows' must be right, to take the next step forward".

As it was, and continues to be with science, so it must be with Religion.

With just 8 days until the publication of "Take My Yoga - The Wisdom of Yoga for Christians and Seekers ", it's worth while reposting this....

If you are someone who feels Christianity is not being made the most of as something to truly help us in our suffering, do read the post, and, take heart, and perhaps be yourself a catalyst for transformation.....
Don't wait for someone else, you are all we need.

Dominican Priest Aelred Graham wrote an important book called 'The End of Religion'. That was in 1971.
Towards the end of his book he wrote "one of the aims of the present essay is to suggest that institutional Christianity, when conducting its long-overdue self-examination, should avail itself of certain insights from India".
That was 54 years ago.
Since then no such exercise has taken place, and indeed, it was not uncommon for Church Halls until recently, to discourage or ban even Yoga classes from their premises! (indeed it happened to me). What chance wisdom from India?
However, as a Christian priest and trained yoga teacher, I can say there is much wisdom to be had from the East. My new book "Take My Yoga - the wisdom of Yoga for Christians and Seekers", offers a little of such wisdom. Very few such books have been written since 1971. Available to pre-order now, or just take a look, whether you're a Christian, Yogi or Seeker.

Egolessness is a state of mind that has complete confidence in the sacredness of the world".

Pema Chodren
'When things fall apart'

How much personal and corporate suffering could we remove if only we could live this way?

All the great spiritual traditions have this insight at their heart, but unfortunately ego 'fights back', often hidden inside dogmas, doctrines, unquestioning belief, claims of divine revelations and exclusivity.

However, we Christians have it revealed in several places in the Bible, e.g Matthew 16.25, John 12.24, Galatians 2.20.

Of course it's also rooted in Yoga, and the great thing about that is, Yoga provides very practical, doable practices to help us. That's why I practice yoga as a Christian - 'a follower of Christ"

Take My Yoga - The Wisdom of Yoga for Christians and Seekers is published on August 25th in the UK, September 1st in the US.

Yogic wisdom and practice to realise Pema Chodrens words, Buddhist insight, and Christian faith.

Take My Yoga connects yoga’s eight major teachings to the call to follow Jesus, exploring how we might do that through yogic wisdom. ...

Ever been to a book launch?
Not simply a new novel, 'well-being', science or history.

This book offers a new way to understand yoga and Christian thought, apparently so radical that the Church has labelled it 'too controversial for some" !

As the author, priest and yoga teacher, I don't think it's particularly controversial at all - but it might make us think a little!

There are just NINE tickets left! Let's fill the venue and enjoy a fascinating and honest discussion together. No need to have bought or read the book beforehand, although some will be for sale (obviously!)

Here's the link for more information and tickets!

August 27th, 6.30pm for 7pm start. See you at Scriphaven SOON!

It is often assumed that Christianity and Yoga are incompatible. I beg to differ. Here's Christian theologian Prof Jurgen Moltman writing about "Creation" (the universe) "the divine Spirit is the creative power and presence of God in his creation. The whole creation is a fabric woven by the Spirit and therefore is a reality to which the Spirit gives form".

This is not so far from Sankhya.
Prakriti is the single fabric, Purusa the Spirit, the one 'breathing life' and 'weaving' together the other, revealing myriad forms.

I look into this in a little more detail in the chapter on pranayama in my book published in August "Take My Yoga - the wisdom of yoga for Christians and Seekers".

As I seek to support Christians who feel embarrassed, awkward, side-lined, or even bullied because they practice yoga or would like to try it through this book and my ministry, do support it anyway you feel able.
I think it's time has come.

Here's a link to the Publishers website and more information about the book.

When was the last time you listened to your body? I guess when it was shouting above all the other noise in your mind - perhaps when you were ill and your throat was telling you it was sore, or you'd eaten too much of the wrong thing, or you had an accident of some kind. It seems that for the most part we've forgotten how to make enquiry of, or listen to, the voice of our body".

extract from the chapter "Asana in yoga practice - listening to the body".

Christians hold that "the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit". Other faith traditions have similar understandings. This being the case, we have a responsibility to treat it as such. Yoga has tried and tested (over centuries) practices that can help.....

To divide humanity into nations, tribes, cultures, religions, genders, and on that basis decide if you like / dislike, approve / disaprove, build up / destroy is as insane as doing the same to your own body. People who divide their own bodies into parts for approval or disapproval, get sick.
As it is with a personal body, so it is with the 'great body'. We know humanity is becoming increasingly sick, we can see it happening before our eyes. Dividing and judging is pathological. It never ends well. Practicing the opposite in the small things, moving onto more important issues, is the only way to make a difference.

Even God cannot create our wellbeing. That's our experience isn't it?
We have to take our (God-given) responsibility to work with our own body and minds.
Yoga is the science and practice that for over 2000 years has enabled it's students to do just that.
Yoga says, to realise our best-self we must;
1) try - be eager and dedicated, 2) be interested in our own wellbeing , study the self,
3) trust in the Lord (however you understand your 'higher power')

Yoga Sutra 2.1

That sounds reasonable doesn't it? Give it a try, there's nothing to lose except feeling dis-enpowered and stuck.....
