Walking away from new age…

There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. ~ Proverbs 14:12

From New Age to New Life:
How Jesus Christ Set Me Free

In 2022, I made one of the most significant and life-altering decisions of my life: I completely walked away from yoga and meditation after over a decade of deep involvement.

For 12 years, I practiced nearly every form of yoga—vinyasa, kundalini, hatha, yin, restorative—and taught it, believed in it, and found temporary calm in it. I had built my identity around it. I believed it was a path to peace, healing, and "enlightenment."

But when I encountered the living presence of Jesus Christ, everything changed.

Immediately upon being saved, I knew—deep in my spirit—that yoga, chanting, breathwork, and other New Age spiritual practices had opened unseen doors in my life to very real darkness: demonic oppression, torment, and unclean spirits that were not from God.

Let me be clear:
I don’t share this to stir up fear, shame, judgment, or division.
I share this to offer real hope—for anyone who has tried everything and still feels empty, restless, and tormented inside.

I was that person.

I explored nearly every spiritual path out there—Buddhism, Hinduism, shamanism, psychedelics, plant medicine, sound baths, reiki, astrology, tarot, gene keys, human design, embodiment rituals, inner child healing—you name it.

I even led others along those paths, believing I was offering light. But the truth is: the light I thought I had found was counterfeit.

“For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.”
— 2 Corinthians 11:14

It was after my salvation that I began to experience serious spiritual warfare. I was attacked in dreams, overwhelmed with confusion, and began hearing tormenting voices. I knew something was very wrong. But Jesus, in His mercy, led me straight into deliverance.

I received Holy Spirit-led deliverance through Joanne Andres Ministry, and in that session, 14 demons were cast out of me.

Yes—14.

Each one made itself known—speaking through my lips, resisting the power of God, hating the name of Jesus. They were real. They were destructive. They didn’t want to leave. But they had to bow to the name above all names: Jesus Christ.

“In My name, they will cast out demons…”
— Mark 16:17

Since then, I’ve experienced so much healing and freedom—more than all the years of yoga, breathwork, and therapy combined ever gave me.

Jesus didn’t just give me temporary peace—He gave me a new heart, a new mind, and a new life.

He delivered me from:

Deep oppression and torment
Addiction to sadness, anger, fear
Sexual perversion and early exposure to pornography
The trauma of abortion
Dysfunctional relationships and codependency
Constant anxiety and suicidal thoughts

And He is still sanctifying me—gently, faithfully, with deep love.

I now move my body in simple, joyful ways—free from the spiritual entanglement that used to come with yoga. I no longer feel the need to enter altered states or “call in energy” because I now walk with the one true God who made me and knows me by name.

Friend, if you’re curious about Jesus… if your heart is stirring and you're starting to feel unsettled in the spiritual practices you once trusted…

You're not crazy. You're being called.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). And He desires to walk with you personally, tenderly, and powerfully into a brand-new life.

You don’t need to clean yourself up first. You don’t need to figure it all out. You don’t even have to be certain of who He is yet.

Just begin talking to Him.
Ask Him, “Jesus, are You real? What do You want me to know? What do You want me to lay down?”

He will answer. He is faithful.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28

There is rest in Christ.
There is safety in Christ.
There is deliverance in Christ.
There is life in Christ.

If He saved me, He can save you.

If He healed me, He can heal you.

If He delivered me from darkness, He can set you free too.

And not just a little—fully. Eternally. Supernaturally.

With love and deep compassion,
Meisha

The Spirit clearly says that in later times
some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits
and things taught by demons.

so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God.

Good! Even the demons believe that
—and shudder.
~ James 2:19
