Yes, this is another symptom of a sick Church. Yoga, and more so the meditation on self. Most people are not aware of what you just said, that they are practices for channeling spirits (demons). A few years ago I actually did a study on this and Labyrinth paths when I discovered their presence inside US churches. A very sad sight.

This is a "bad trip"

"In Shaiva theology, yoga is used to unite kundalini with Shiva. A spontaneous awakening in one who is unprepared or without the assistance of a good teacher can result in an experience which has been termed as "Kundalini crisis", "spiritual emergency" or "Kundalini syndrome". The symptoms are said to resemble those of Kundalini awakening but are experienced as unpleasant, overwhelming or out of control. Unpleasant side effects are said to occur when the practitioner has not approached Kundalini with due respect and in a narrow egotistical manner. Kundalini has been described as a highly creative intelligence which dwarfs our own. Kundalini awakening therefore requires surrender; it is not an energy which can be manipulated by the ego."

Basically what we would call demonic possession.

There are many who believe that the kundalini spirit has infiltrated the church masquerading as the Holy Spirit, and a lot of that is seen in Pentecostalism with the current *filled with the Spirit* phenomena of shaking and falling down.

Kundalini spirits in the church?
