Left yoga and came back to Orthodoxism
I finished Sadhanapada, and did 2 years of daily practice. Last year, I was doing 4-5 hours of practices (including sitting in Devi / Dhyanalinga temples). Something strange happened, I was not feeling well , I felt unbalanced emotionally and I was getting anxious very often, and tense for very small things. I also had blissful moments, but when I was getting tense, I just told myself all my life will go like this and I cannot do anything about it. Something drawed me to visit some monasteries, then I read a book called: "The Gurus, the Young man, and Elder Paisios". After this book I felt the need to choose between orthodox and yoga, I could not stay in between anymore. I quit my practices one month ago and I feel things are getting slowly back to normal, and I am so grateful for that. Being not hyperaware of everything and coming back to reading Psalms and prayers is so nice and I feel the protection of something higher that took me off that path.
