Is yoga necessary to free your mind?
Yoga, literally means to 'yoke' or 'join'. Yoga is that science which allows the student to become at one with the initial creative force from which we came. This is evolution.
Anything which allows a point of consciousness to return to its source is Yoga.
This journey through evolution must include mental advancement for it to be a complete science.
Yoga teaches man, (by man I naturally mean women too!) to expand his mental horizons from the limited constraints of selfishness into the firmanent of selfless expansion to become AT ONE WITH GOD.
So therefore, Yoga is not only nessessary to expand or' free the mind' but one cannot advance oneself mentally UNLESS yoga is PRACTICED.

Why do Buddhists rid themselves of material possessions and practice meditation?
Buddhists practice meditation for the same reasons others do.
Meditation helps strengthen awareness. Meditation helps us to see that we are not the mind, not the emotions, not the body. Meditation brings a sense of calm. Meditation helps us to see that fulfilling the desires of the mind will not bring a lasting sense of contentment.
If it is done rightly, one does not begin by ridding themselves of possessions. One meditates, and over time, one sees that having many possessions does not bring contentment. Then, if one lets go of things, it is natural, not forced.

Though it is thought of as just another form of exercise by some people, yoga has a foundation in the Buddhist, Hindu and Jainism religions. Therefore, because of the influence of these religions on yoga, many Christians believe that practising yoga lends credence to these other religions at the expense of Christianity, and is wrong. This has a precedence way back in the Old testament where God was angry with the Jews for 'diluting' their own beliefs with the beliefs of those others around them, and by marrying those of other religions, thus compromising their own beliefs, and causing real problems for the beliefs of their offspring. Similarly, in the New Testament some of Paul's letters scold the churches round the Mediterranean area (eg the Corinthians) for adopting pagan practices which had no place in Christianity. With regard to the Roman Catholic Church, in 1989, the Vatican declared that Eastern meditation practices such as Zen and yoga can "degenerate into a cult of the body" in that people become more concerned with their looks and physique than by the condition of their soul. While some critics may think this attitude risible, it is totally justified as is borne out in many parts of the world - eg California USA, where millions of dollars every year are spent on cosmetic and enhancing surgery, purely for vanity, money which could be better spent in feeding the poor of the world.

How do you deflate a yoga ball?
I agree (with the previous contributor) that its unlikely that you'd want to deflate it but can see that it may be occasionally required; for example packing the ball when taking it on a trip or moving house. If this is required, take the pump and needle that you'd use to inflate it and stick the needle into the valve on the ball. Do not pump. Simply press the needle into the valve (you may have to move it around a little to find the correct position) and you should start to hear a gentle hiss. Apply a light pressure to the ball and it will eventually deflate. Note that the valves on balls are designed to be one-way so while it will deflate it will not do so quickly like a balloon, it may need anywhere up to 15-20 minutes to deflate.
What is the spiritual meaning of seeing water when meditating?
