I remember first coming across your channel by watching your first vlog where there was a clip of yoga being done and right above that I saw a Saint Benedict key on your wall. I still subscribed to you and had faith that everything would work out the way it should according to His will. I remember saying a small prayer for you and that your eyes could be open to the truths of yoga and I’ve prayed for you ever since. ❤️ Thank God and in all His eternal glory that you came back. Sending you so much love, friend. 💕

[@lightandmind77]

Thank you, Shannon! Always love reading your comments, sweet friend. 🤍 Looking back the last few years, it is pretty crazy to think that I was doing these practices with my Saint Benedict key and Crucifix in the very same room. I know your prayers were heard and I appreciate that so much.🤍 hugs!!!

[@OldWorldHome]

All praise, glory, and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ forever! He is truth and light, continue to share His goodness ✨💛

[@lightandmind77]

Amen!!!! 🤍

[@BernadetteVogel]

So thankful you did this video. God is definitely leading you lead others. Keep going! Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. I avoided yoga because I had been warned the positions are a form of adoration. I choose to bow down to Jesus alone. 🙏❤️

Thank you for sharing your testimony in this. It’s tough! I went through this journey about 4 years ago. Taking a closer look at my practices and traditions and finding out so so many were rooted in paganism! Which in turn hindered my relationship with G-d and my sanctification process. Reading my Bible daily/studying and cutting out these practices has brought so much peace and new resolve for my faith.

[@lightandmind77]

Thank you for sharing. I love reading other stories! 🤍 I am so glad you found the truth.

[@elgabenedicta]

Thank you for sharing.. beautiful testimony. I never got into yoga but there's a lot of worldly practices and that we as Christians used to overlook and brush off as something light or not sinful/not glorifying God. I'm convicted of my reliance and love of things such as the power of the mind (positive thinking), meditation, self help culture in general etc. I studied Psychology in college and let me tell you, I found out that a LOT of things in Psychology is NOT Biblical and doesn't align with my Christian values. We need to be mindful and careful in our ways of doing our lives, always give everything to God and surrender our whole hearts and mind to Him, the Lord Almighty, our Creator ❤❤ Praise be to God!!

[@lightandmind77]

You are absolutely right. There are so many things taking us away from Him. I can imagine that there a lot of things that would be against Him in that area. Amen!! 🤍

[@ariseinsimplicity]

I also heard this once "Satan dines on what we withhold from God." It can be anxiety, fear, control or we can even withhold our children from God without realising it. God is in control but we need to be in an agreement with that. He is in control of our lives. 🤍🙏🏻

[@lightandmind77]

This is so true. Thank you for sharing this! 🤍

[@Sweet_and_Simple_Living]

Hello, Katie! Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have been going through a tough time in my life that really made me question my faith and whether I should walk away. I am a Catholic woman and teacher, and I sadly have let a lot of things in my life become idols (from food during a dark time of dealing with an ED; mindless scrolling, and even minimalism). However, every day, God shares new mercies every morning; I love to share that with my students. We can always become better disciples. The armor of God part did hit me as it became a saying I heard a lot in my life. After making quite a big mistake that left me feeling shameful, I was reminded a lot by loved ones that we cannot ever be separated from God's love and to ignore that constant nag from the devil that you can never come back to God. Sometimes, I would roll my eyes and think, "It's not that easy." However, that's the point; we are meant to rely on the Lord; we cannot rely on our own fleshly strength. I have done yoga before, and it was definitely an eye opener for me after watching this video. I would not like to continue the practice (even though I did so sporadically, I do not want to participate in something that will move me away from my faith) . What are your recommendations for alternatives to yoga as a Christian/Catholic? I would like to incorporate more movement into my life for physical and mental health purposes. Would you trust going to a Christian Stretch/Meditation Class? Thank you so much for blessing us with the truth shared within this video. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Have a blessed day. 🙏💝

[@lightandmind77]

First, I am so sorry that you have had a hard time lately. Hugs to you.🤍 I can totally relate to these things becoming idols. That is exactly how the enemy works. It is through distraction and being able to get into our heads and working towards getting our eyes off of God. That is the enemy's primary goal. Satan screams these lies at us...that it is not possible to return to God. That we are too broken. It breaks my heart to know that this is how the enemy deceives us. It is so far from the truth. Think of the parable of the lost sheep. Jesus will not stop until he has found even the one lost sheep. Until that one lost sheep is found and back with Him. Yes, my advice is of course to stay far away from yoga. I really enjoy walking and doing a bit of pilates for the stretching and gentler workout. Even going on a nice walk outside is so refreshing. When it comes to the meditation class, I would just look into if there are any yoga asanas or poses being done. If it resembles yoga, stay away. And what type of meditation there is. Meditating on God's word or in prayer is completely different than new age/self help meditation. If that makes sense. When coming out of these practices, I found that I had to remove any type of "self help" style books or practices and fully just cling to God. Give him all of me and really focus on His word without any other outside noise consumed. I found that I could not trust most of these teachers and a lot of these teachers would add in things into the workouts that I did not agree with(yoga moves). I just stretch at home and do my own thing so I am more in control of it. I hope this helps somehow. Feel free to ask anything else. I will keep you in my prayers. For you to feel His peace and for you to fully know that He never wants you to turn away. He wants you home with Him. 🤍 Also, read the book of Psalms. I always say Psalms is like a warm hug from God. 🤍

[@plantsbythemoon9049]

I'm sure this was a difficult video to make. You may get some negative comments and some who unsubscribe, however, the Lord will honor your decision and your boldness to speak up for the truth. Stay strong in the faith! Your videos always bring me a sense of peace.

[@lightandmind77]

Amen! Thank you for your sweet words. 🤍

[@baileyjgarcia]

Thank you so much for sharing this..I’ve been going through a big transformation in my faith recently and yoga has been one of the things I’ve been conflicted on whether to continue practicing or not. Your video gave me so much clarity and inspired me to work on letting go of anything that is not bringing me closer to God. I absolutely love that you’ve been sharing about your faith and Jesus please don’t stop! You’re sharing so much light from Him💓

[@lightandmind77]

Thank you for being here. I am so glad my video did that for you. Amen! If it isn't from Him, let it go. :) 🤍

Awesome testimony. Thankyou for sharing from the heart & giving Glory to God. Doreen Virtue is an ex- New Ager, who has her own channel warning about deceptions of the enemy.

[@lightandmind77]

Yes!!!

[@tamiurquizo746]

God opened my eyes from darkness to light. It wasn't something I wanted to see, but I had to see. He was already working through me, so I was fully prepared for what I saw. I forgave the "unforgivable," some would say, but God would say elsewise. I took a leap in faith, and in doing so, came a miracle from God. My husband is a very intelligent man, but he lacked true knowledge that came from above most of our marriage. He is a follower of Jesus Christ now, and does he wants others to know. God worked through my family, and I'm so grateful to know him and to have a relationship with him. Create strong roots that won't break when hard times approach. Keep your eyes on Jesus. ❤❤❤ ❤

[@SKH1991]

If you don’t like her content there is no need to post a negative comment. I see 3 negative comments all because she shared her religious views. If she were any other religion, would that be happening… probably not

[@Frugalee1]

Can't you say this about alot of other things such as holidays and different occasions and birthdays too? So many things we celebrate seem to come from pagen practices.

[@myrestfulspirit]

Christmas and Easter are not pagan holidays. They are Catholic holidays that represent Christ and His time on earth. Birthdays are not in and of themselves religious but when we look at it as a way of celebrating the life God gave to us as a gift, it can be that way. 😊

[@Frugalee1]

@@myrestfulspirit I think you need to do some research on that because what your saying is not true about pagen holidays.I honestly don't know how you can say that .Go online google and you will see.

[@myrestfulspirit]

@@Frugalee1 I would recommend not searching through front pages on google for answers on this. Easter represents the resurrection of Christ and nothing more. Christmas represents the birth of Christ and nothing more. The Devil tries to persuade people into thinking these holidays are pagan and not true for the sake of them turning against God and celebrating Him. Halloween really means “All Hallows Eve” to represent the Eve before The feast of all the Saints, but that has been turned pagan from the world, as I suppose Christmas and Easter has if we’re viewing it in that lime light. Christmas=Santa clause. Easter=Easter bunny. Halloween=horror junk and candy. None of this focuses on the Eternal Lord and is pagan.

[@donnaramunno7472]

You are correct…..The Christmas tree….Easter eggs…..and many other things….

[@kaitlinmoore2765]

That’s what I was thinking too… Christmas trees come from pagan tradition but I don’t know many Christians who have any issue with decorating a tree at Christmas time while celebrating Jesus birth

Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability. I had a similar revelation and conviction about yoga. The only part about it that I enjoyed was the physical aspect of exercise and stretch. But the more I grew in faith the more uncomfortable I became going to yoga classes or even being in that environment. Thank the Lord for being gentle yet relentless with us in leading us towards His light and truth 🙏🏼 What forms of exercise do you do now? I love stretching and staying flexible, yet trying to avoid anything that does not glorify our Lord. Did you find another form of gentle workout that you enjoy now?

[@lightandmind77]

Amen! He is so faithful. 🙏 🤍 So, I like walking and some Pilates. And honestly just stretching in general. Just no yoga practice anymore. :)

[@marylouiselacasse9986]

Hi, Katie! You couldn’t more of the truth! The enemy is here to seek and destroy and he preys on our weakest and most vulnerable parts of us. When you say it’s a battle you’re so right, it’s literally a daily battle. I know this but I also know there is so much goodness in the struggle because it brings us closer to what we crave for and that is Jesus or Savior and his beautiful Mother. St. Michael is my weapon. I pray that prayer multiple times a day. Thank you so much for bringing this to “light”. Pun intended 😂. I enjoy your good wisdom and I appreciate and truly pray for you and your family each day. God truly works through people. 🙂💕

Thank you, Mary. You are so right. I grew very close to to Our Lady over the last few years and I know She led me right back to Jesus. 🤍God bless you and your family🙏 Love the St. Michael prayer. So powerful.

Respeito suas ideias, mas não tenho nenhuma religião, não vou a nenhuma missa, não adoro imagens, também não faço ioga, faço exercício físico em casa através de um canal do youtube pela minha saúde, pois temos o dever de cuidar do nosso corpo físico. Para mim há só um Deus, um Deus bom e de Amor, não é castigador, acho que estamos cada um de nós numa aprendizagem e cada um no seu patamar de evolução, todos vamos evoluindo. Não preciso de um chefe de igreja para ter minha espiritualidade, eu faço minhas preces, tenho minhas falas com Deus, Cristo, meu anjo guardião etc. As nossas falhas e erros fazem parte da caminhada, há que aprender com elas e tentar colocar Amor nas nossas ações, tão simples assim. Desejo-lhe muita Paz e Amor, continuo aqui e agradeço seus vídeos 🥰🥰🥰.
