In this episode, Phil McLemore and I discuss statements in the New Testament that indicate the philosophy of Jesus in harmony with Yoga practice. We discuss the value of considering the teachings of Jesus as a mystical (maybe even yogic) way to enlightenment. Mr. McLemore gives us plenty of examples of statements attributed to Jesus related to the core practices of meditation and non-attachment.
Our Guest: Philip McLemore worked as a Campus Minister for 8 years at Auburn University, AL, and the University of Georgia. He then served as an active duty Air Force Chaplain for 21 years, followed by 8 years as a Hospice Chaplain. Philip turned to yoga meditation to help with a health crisis and awakened to an expansive spiritual life previously un-imagined. He has been teaching meditation for 20 years and has developed a system for teaching yoga meditation to Mormons and Christians. He was taught Kriya Yoga by Roy Eugene Davis, a direct student of Paramahansa Yogananda. In 2008 Mr. Davis ordained and authorized Phil to teach Kriya Yoga meditation and philosophy.
