Seminar and pagan practice
A LONG TIME FOLLOWER OF TRADCATKNIGHT ISSUES A WARNING
Good Morning, Eric –
I wanted to relate to you something that happened
while I was at a seminar for health professionals in Syracuse, NY. The
topic of the all day seminar was Nutrition and the Immune System. I go
to these seminars for professional credit for my nursing license. I
don’t get out very often to go to these seminars and I thought the topic
was interesting. I traveled one hour to get there.
During the afternoon, one of the subjects was
stress reduction. The presenter recommended among other things
meditation and yoga, which I was not surprised at. However, she then
mentioned Senobi breathing from Japan and how it was a great stress
reducer. I knew intuitively this was a pagan worship practice. Imagine
my horror when she asked everyone to stand [if they wanted] and to
practice this breathing technique! There is a body stance which
accompanies this breathing that looks like a yoga type pose. I sat in
my chair while almost everyone in the room, and there were over one
hundred people there, did this pagan practice, and I prayed to St.
Anthony of Padua, whose feast day it was that day, and I prayed for
everyone in the room, who had no idea what they are doing.
I researched a bit more on Senobi breathing when I
got home, and it is associated with Tai chi and Qigong Eastern
practices. Wikipedia states “ According
to Taoist, Buddist, and Confucian philosophy, Qigong allows access to
higher realms of awareness, awakens one's "true nature", and helps
develop human potential.”
Just as I thought.
It is amazing that one needs to be on guard
continually against pagan practices everywhere. We cannot be vigilant
enough as Traditional Catholics.
In the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Karen K.
