Levitation Yoga: Significant Gravity Of Deep Thought

Swiss scientists have recently discovered that sending a very weak current to the back of the right side of the brain triggered an out-of-body experience (OBE) for the patient.

This OBE could be produced at will whenever a particular part of the brain was stimulated by an electric current. OBE is also one of the major outcomes of yoga and is mentioned in the vibhuti pad of Patanjali's Yoga Darshan . Naturally a yogi has to practise years of tapasya or meditation before she can achieve an OBE and sense of levitation. Interestingly, technology seems to allow this pleasurable experience quite easily.

Levitation Yoga: Hindu - Hinduism Dictionary on Siddhi

siddhi: (Sanskrit) "Power, accomplishment; perfection."

Extraordinary powers of the soul, developed through consistent meditation and deliberate, grueling, often uncomfortable tapas, or awakened naturally through spiritual maturity and yogic sadhana.

Through the repeated experience of Self Realization, siddhis naturally unfold according to the needs of the individual. Before Self Realization, the use or development of siddhis is among the greatest obstacles on the path because it cultivates ahamkara, I-ness, and militates against the attainment of prapatti, complete submission to the will of God, Gods and guru. Six siddhis in particular are considered primary obstacles to samadhi:

- clairvoyance (adarsha siddhi or divya siddhi),

- clairaudience (shravana siddhi or divyashravana),

- divination (pratibha siddhi),

- super-feeling (vedana siddhi) and

- super-taste (asvadana siddhi),

- supersmell (varta siddhi).

The eight classical siddhis are:

1) anima: to be as small as an atom;

2) mahima: to become infinitely large;

3) laghima: super-lightness, levitation;

4) prapti: pervasiveness, extension, to be anywhere at will;

5) prakamya: fulfillment of desires;

6) vashitva: control of natural forces;

7) ishititva: supremacy over nature;

8) kama-avasayitva: complete satisfaction.

The supreme siddhi (parasiddhi) is realization of the Self, Parasiva.

Levitation Yoga: Secrets of the Five Pranas

Prana - Secrets of the Five Pranas

To change something we must alter the energy which creates it. This fact is true in the practice of Yoga. To bring about positive changes in body and mind we must understand the energy through which they work. This is called Prana in Sanskrit, meaning primary energy. It is sometimes translated as breath or vital force, though it is more than these.

Levitation Yoga: Encyclopedia - Meditation

Meditation like yoga originated in Vedic Hinduism many centuries ago, it was much later adopted into a wide variety of practices of religious and non-religious formats which emphasize mental activity or quiesscence.

This usage is found in Christian spirituality, for example, when one "meditates" on the sufferings of Christ; as w ...
