To meditate is to calm your mind.Some believe that you are actly channeling evil spirts.Do you guys think this is true?
I know there are different kinds.I am talking about when it is a new age thing.Are they really channeling the devil?
And do you think this is a bad thing or a good thing.Please share your thoughts on this.JM 😕

...😐 i have no idea why im even replying to this. the answer is so obvious.

If you had even the most basic understanding of meditation and the unconscious mind you would know what the answer is a simple one: no. And for the record, meditation is very beneficial.

Meditation is nothing more than relaxation. No evil or good spirits involved. Only good ol fashion vibes

whoever told you that evil can come from meditation is brainwashing you. probably someone who is a religious bigot. as they have said above meditation is purely beneficial.

unless of course you meditate while driving, or while on Quaalude's.

I concur with the other opinions, as someone who does a fair bit of meditating I have never heard of evil channelling and meditation in the same sentence, or even the same context. So no, no and no. You should actually give it a go and see how natural and good it is.

Hey it is just a simple question.If either of you did not want to answear it you did not have to.JM Please no making fun of people in my thread please.JM

I'm going to ignore that last comment.

I don't think there are evil spirits out there to be channeled, myself. But if there were, the answer would be no. Does a person channel evil when they're praying? I feel that praying is or can be a form of meditation actually.....

Jackie, nobody's making fun of you, they are simply pointing out what could easily be regarded as fact: the answer to your question is an obvious "no".

I guess you could consider it "evil" if you're one of those extremist Christians who believe Buddhism is a form of Satanism. Meditation is a calming, beneficial practice whose long-term effects have been found to be similar to that of Christian prayer on ill people. Prayer is just another form of meditation, only people believe they are talking to god... They are not, they are merely calming their mind and body.

In Martial Arts after meditating and clearing your mind you can really get into that mind over matter state. It's something I do before a demo or working with breaking wood, ice or whatever. It helps. But it really is nothing more than a very very very intricate relaxation technique.

Meditation is an integral part of martial arts, it's used to focus.

"Channeling evil spirits..." 😆

I think meditation is evil!

Well actually no I dont meditation is just like thinking in calm state of mind. When I do Kata in martial arts I go into an almost trance like state. It doesn't mean I'm chanelling evil spirits I'm just allowing my mind to control my body without letting the everyday clutter getting in the way.

I suppose when you look at it meditation is defragging for your brain!

Jackie: You know how sometimes your just looking at nothing in particular and your mind wanders - and then you *snap* out of it... you haven't been thinking about anything in particular, you just zone out for a second or two.

Thats more or less what meditation is - people trying to still the thoughts and chatter in their heads: It's not channeling anything - its more or less just sitting quietly.

Some religions do believe that if you enter a trance your body becomes vulnerable to evil spirits... but it's an extreme viewpoint and not all that common.

I'd like to know why you ask...?

...And those religions are wrong. 🙂

Most of the "religions" for which meditation is a necessary practice don't even hold beliefs in evil spirits of any kind.
