Here in the west it seems that many people have lost their connection between body, mind and spirit. When we act as if our body temple is something separate from our mind and our spirit, we tend to allow the outside world to do a hostile takeover of it.
The body is the temple of the living God. Christ demonstrated the connection between body, mind and spirit during his life and through his masterful demonstration of the restoration of his body temple after his crucifixion. We can do the things that Jesus Christ did and even greater things if we can realize that we have the same mind in us that Christ had. Jesus said of himself that he could do nothing, it was the Father within him who did the work.
If we choose separateness from the Spirit of God, we remain outside of the Eden consciousness. Accepting our Oneness with the Father as Christ did allows all the goodness of God to flow through us.
Reconnecting our body, mind and spirit with Father's Spirit is yoga. Simply stated yoga means to join, unite or yoke together. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root word yuj, which means to join. If we yoke our mind with the mind of Christ, we are joining our mind with God.
The yoga of Jesus is to yoke with the Father in body, mind and Spirit. In my personal yoga practice I go unto the Father by yoking with the Christ mind. My tradition is Christian. There is only one God whether our outer tradition of worship is Christian, Hindu or other some other. We must not let our egos get in the way of seeing truth. There is only One ever present God.
If you are open minded to other points of view about Jesus rather than just blindly accepting dogma, this article is a good read. If you are closed minded, you probably won't like it. Just saying.
