Is Chakra Meditation Against Catholicism?

**Burke** · 06-20-2010 01:56 AM

So, I am roman catholic and am interested in chakra meditation. I want to know if this goes against my religion. It technically is not believing in any other god, just energy inside of you which, to my knowledge, is not against my faith. I do not have a lot of knowledge on chakra meditation, but I want to give it a shot.

This is not a place for questioning Catholicism or anything, so leave that for another thread.

you are not cathloicism. you are Burke. why do you have to associate yourself with a religion you don't know enough about?

find your own spirituality. don't ask us for it. listennnn.

there's nothing in the bible about chakras. meditation is even suggested as a form of prayer, in the bible.

no-Name has some great advice. Id say go ahead with it, nothing but positive things would happen. And I have never once heard anything about meditation being bad, in protestantism or Catholicism.

If I could offer similar advice, take the spiritual journey yourself and try and find God, rather than trying to find it in the church. Nothing but regurgitations of archaic ideas that are making your worry over something beneficial for you, exhibit A OP. Time to evolve the ideas, take it upon yourself!

I've had Catholics tell me lucid dreaming is the devil. I've also had Catholics tell me lucid dreaming is awesome. I'm sure things would be no different with Chakra meditation. Its all where you draw the line. Believe in whatever makes sense to you, whatever makes you feel closer to God. Don't tie your freedom of thought down to somebody else's dogma. My suggestion is to turn the ideas behind Chakra meditation into your own form of prayer. A spiritual practice like that can be a profound help to your own faith.

Speesh has had sImmilar experiences to me. I've met people who are homeschooled, and have uber-strict christian parents. Everything from Dungeons and Dragons, to Meditation, to Lucid Dreaming, To Violent Videogames is sent from the devil to corrupt children according to them. And then I know a preachers family who does most of the above. Like speesh said, its where you draw the line.
