And then there is the whole "Be still, and know that I am God", and Him speaking in a "still small voice". Stands to reason that some form of meditation might help with both of those. It's reasonable to be aware of dangers in everything we do, it's silly to be fearful in any of them.
Kinda like CrossFit, which while it has no apparent Eastern religion roots, borders on a cult for some. Keep the Main Thing the main thing, and enjoy all others in moderation.
Meditation is proven to reduce stress. I don't see why people get so torn up over it. Prayer is pretty much just another type of meditation.
Meditation is just deeply focusing one's mind, so you're correct prayer is a type of meditation.
With Yoga, it's not the meditation itself that creates problems for Christianity, it's the focus of the meditation. In prayer, you're focusing your mind on God. In Yoga you end up focusing inward which gets tied up in some of the spiritual principles of eastern religion.
Obviously, a Christian could do the stretching and not meditate or change the subject of the meditation and that doesn't create any issues.

So how many years do you guys think we get out of Shoop? I think 2 years max, maybe even just this year.
That would suck, but I think he will get some looks after what he does this year.
Ask if we're doing so bad in recruiting because recruits don't want to have to do interviews with Wes Rucker
I still can't get used to John Brice being at 247. They've started emulating VQ with a lot of on-camera content, and Brice of course remains a pro, but Rucker and Callahan look ridiculously awkward and uncomfortable.
