Potential Pages to Edit...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doga_(Dog_Yoga) (kidding) (only kind of)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonbeliever - Interesting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecospirituality - Could be super fun and interesting!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selfless_service - Would be really happy and heart warming?!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_spirituality - Again, interesting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_feminism - Something I care a lot about!

There are some great choices, here, Emily! "Ecospirituality" would be one that would be especially well supported by our readings, and so timely. I saw "secular spirituality" pop up on another 452/852 User Talk Page and boy does that article need our help - so much so that it might be quite a challenge to figure out where to start and what other articles to internally link to. These are things to keep in mind, but not necessarily reasons not to pursue it, if that's what a group decides! MonstreDélicat (talk) 18:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yoga

[edit]

The popularity of the 'yoga' now commonplace in the West is integrally linked to secularization.[1] This secularization began in India in the 1930s, when yoga teachers began to look for ways to make yoga accessible to the general public.[1] Yoga has undeniably Hindu roots, first mentioned in the Katha Upanisad.[2] Despite these roots, yoga has been secularized, and often referred to as being “ancient Indian,” “Eastern,” or “Sanskritic,” rather than as Hindu due to a desire to avoid any religious connotations.[3] Modern Western yoga is thought to "not require adoption of religious beliefs or dogma," despite Hindu origins.[4] In the West, yoga has been Yoga "modernized, medicalized, and transformed into a system of physical culture." [5] Within the West, yoga has been transformed "into an individualized spirituality of the self," creating an activity that is very popular within secular societies [6] drawing off portrayals of yoga as "mystical, experiential and individualistic."[7] Western yoga students cite health, fitness, and stress reduction as reasons for yogic practice, rather than traditional Hindu motivations and goals such as enlightenment.[8] However, many practice in order to reach "contemplative states of consciousness and spirituality," a goal that falls within the realm of secular spirituality.[4] In a study of Ashram residents, researchers found residents were more likely to respond they had an “experience of oneness" during or after a yoga class and felt more "in touch with divine or spiritual” after a class than control groups, leaving researchers to believe yoga practice enhances transformational processes, including spiritual states.[9]
