Is meditation ok for Christians?

Yes.. Meditation is Common for all humans.. any person can meditate or at some point of time in life every person meditates unknowingly in day to day life.

Saint Teresa of Avila defined Christian meditation as follows:

"By meditation I mean prolonged reasoning with the understanding, in this way. We begin by thinking of the favor which God bestowed upon us by giving us His only Son; and we do not stop there but proceed to consider the mysteries of His whole glorious life."[12]

Gospel of Matthew, c. 1700.Quoting the Gospel of Matthew[11:27]:

"No one knows the Father but only the Son and anyone whom the Son wants to reveal him" and I Corinthians[2:12]: "But we have received the Spirit who is from God so that we may realize what God has freely given us",

theologian Hans von Balthasar explained the context of Christian meditation as follows:

"The dimensions of Christian meditation develop from God's having completed his self-revelation in two directions: Speaking out of his own, and speaking as a man, through his Son, disclosing the depths of man.... And this meditation can take place only where the revealing man, God's Son, Jesus Christ, reveals God as his Father: in the Holy Spirit of God, so we may join in probing God's depths, which only God's Spirit probes."[13]

Can meditation ever cause psychotic behavior?

COMPETITIVE BLOCKADE - THE MECHANISM BEHIND MODERN MEDITATION

The meditation we practice in the modern era is based on the mechanism called competitive blockade.

If two thoughts try to enter our conscious mind at precisely the same time, neither of them, nor any other thought, succeeds in entering it. This results in abolition of all thoughts, emotions, feelings and actions. This gives as peace and self-control, though both are false.

The thought we use for blocking in meditation is called a mantra.

when properly done this mechanism not only gives peace but also enables us to divert the power of a socially unacceptable activity into a socially acceptable activity.

ADVERSE EFFECTS OF MODERN MEDITATION

Sooner or later, competitive blockade becomes the panacea for all problems of life. If the problems are infrequent this mechanism is the simplest solution.

The problem starts when repeated failures in life depletes our manual / voluntary force.

The mantra becomes ineffective and gets replaced by any thought that can blank our mind, even extremely bizarre ones.

Making the entire mechanism automatic causes the following problems.

1. The undesirable thought is not blocked

2. The blockade becomes eternal, making us withdrawn and depressed

3. Desirable thought becomes extremely powerful making us maniacal

3. To avoid the blockade from becoming fully automatic, we may have to change the blocking thought repeatedly. However, since this consumes too much manual / voluntary force, we may have to make the blocking thought change automatically. This makes it impossible to recognize a new thought as our blocking thought that we have made to undergo automatic transformation.

The end result is unwanted and meaningless thoughts entering our conscious mind frequently and automatically.

Thus, Modern meditation can cause all the symptoms of Schizophrenia and those of all other psychotic disorders.

What other activities derived from yoga?

Meditation.

Many people begin to meditate because a gentle longing arises in them: a longing to know the answer to a few basic questions: who am I, is there something beyond the 3-dimensional world, what is life ultimately about?

This longing propels a person into meditation, because mystics from all traditions down through the ages have promised that if you meditate, you will begin to get a glimpse into the answers to these questions.

Does ayurveda and yoga prohibits bathing at night?

Ayurveda and yoga do not explicitly prohibit bathing at night, but they do emphasize the importance of following natural rhythms and routines. In Ayurveda, it is believed that bathing at night may disturb the body's natural balance and lead to imbalances in doshas. Yoga practices often encourage maintaining a calm and restful environment in the evening, which could imply limiting stimulating activities like bathing. Ultimately, personal preference and individual constitution play significant roles in this practice.
