Many Protestants believe in faith healing, prophecy,and speaking in tongues, all of which has clear Biblical support.
Many Catholics believe that saints have exhibited mystical powers such as healing, bilocation(being in two places at once), levitation, the "odor of sanctity", reading the minds of others, stigmata, exorcising demons, granting wishes of petitioners through supernatural means, and having their bones possess magical powers.
These are the same powers claimed by yogic adepts.
If yoga is full of the occult and mysticism, so is Christianity

Where do Yogis think they get their powers?

I see. First xenalyte says yoga has no connections with the occult.

So, I find a yogic website that proves that the possession of occult powers is a sign of progression for a yogi.

I guess that means xenalyte was wrong?

Catholics do not believe that saints' bones possess magical powers! Catholics do not practice or promote magic.

There is such a thing as magic--and all of it that is genuine is due to demonic activity.
