Spirituality with a twist

Posted on by

Starting in September, Pastor Meghan Davis of the First Presbyterian Church began offering Christian Yoga classes five times a week at the church. Davis, who has been teaching yoga for three years, came to the church in June and decided to start classes a few months later.

Yoga was originally created to be a preparation for meditation. It is actually older than any organized religion, so it was created to prepare the body so that you could relax and really meditate. I heard this when I was in seminary training to become a pastor, Davis said. I heard that Indians think that it is really weird that we Westerners will go to yoga class and do all of the physical part and go on our way without doing the yoga. I put that in the back of my head and then one day I was in a yoga class and it was like an epiphany, why cant this be a part of a Christian spiritual practice.

After talking with a friend, Davis found out about a Christian Yoga school in Arizona and has been teaching ever since.

I use it as a part of a Christian spiritual practice, as a part of my spiritual practice, Davis said.

She said that anyone can come a give her classes a try.

Really, especially with the gentle yoga, but really even with the flow yoga anyone can come and just wherever you are is fine and you will grow from there, Davis said.

In yoga, Davis listed three rules that apply to the practice.

One is there is no pain in yoga, so if anything is painful, dont do it. Another thing is, it is not a competitive sport, so it doesnt matter if the person next to you has their head all the way down to their knees and if you dont, it doesnt matter. Yoga is all about the present so it doesnt matter what you used to be able to do. The third thing is just breathing. As long as you are breathing into a pose, thats what matters, Davis said.

Three levels of classes are offered throughout the week. The gentlest is chair yoga, which Davis said is literally sitting on a chair or using a chair for support. It is offered at 3 p.m. Thursdays. The gentle class is the next step up and takes place at 11 a.m. Tuesday. The flow class is the most advanced, but Davis said it isnt to the level of super yoga, it is still pretty gentle. It is offered at 6:15 p.m. Monday, at 6 a.m. Wednesday and at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Ive been really excited, especially the flow Monday night and Saturday morning classes, Davis said. The yoga flow has more of a broader range, more young people are coming. As people get stronger maybe well start power yoga.

Humanist Chaplain, Author Explore the Non-religious Life

Posted on by

Harvard Humanist chaplain Greg M. Epstein discussed how to live a non-religious life with Sam B. Harris, author of Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion, in Science Center Hall B Tuesday.

Harris, a leading and controversial figure in the New Atheism movement, has published several books on the topic of atheism. His new book focuses on spirituality and the individuals responsibility to achieve his or her own happiness.

I want people to take away that having a spiritual life need not entail believing in anything on insufficient evidence, Harris said. It only requires that you observe your experience more closely in the present moment.

Epstein, also a leader in the New Atheism movement, has published his own book, Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe. Toward the end of this book, Epstein focuses on the importance of community for non-religious individuals, the main topic of his next book.

I think [my own and Harriss ideas] can be two sides of a coin, how to have a healthy inner life as a non-religious person and how to have a healthy outer life as a non-religious person, Epstein said. [Harris is] talking a little more about the inner life, and Im arguing that in order to have the healthiest possible inner life we also need community.

During the discussion, Harris went into depth about what he called a source of dissatisfaction in an individuals life: the idea that only attaining certain goals, such as getting married or getting a better job, will allow true happiness. He said that this mindset is unnecessary and that an individual can learn to be happy in the moment if they can learn to be present in that moment. Based on this idea, Harris promoted meditation as a conduit into living in the moment and led the audience in a couple of minutes of meditation.

I think the meditation aspect is something that I have been interested in in the past, but haven't had the chance to do, and I do think what he had to say about spirituality as a nonreligious person is something to take away from, said Erin M. Williams 15, a member of the Harvard Community of Humanists, Atheists, and Agnostics.

Many HCHAA members came to the event in support of their parent organization, the Humanist Hub. The Humanist Hub at Harvard, which opened this year, works to create a space to address the growing community of agnostic and atheists college students.
