Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Hello, I'm searching for informations about yogic flying.. I know about trascendental meditation but don't know the specs. I read about two or three books about it like yoga pradipika and yoga sutra of Patanjali. Is there anything like that in eastern traditions like Japanese and Chinese? Can you get to yogic flying trough breathing exercises? May Bastrika be one of them? I read on the net about the need of maximum coherence in one's mind to achieve the antigravity propulsion..what might it means? And what does it mean "bubbling bliss"? I guess with these elements it should be possible to -leave the ground- Thanks, Gabriele Betti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no more gas bills The Patanjali Sutras, chapter III is entirely devoted to siddhis and the mechanism is to substitute one identification for another one. This means, levitation is the result of identifying with a cloud or "cloudiness" while forgetting the body-identification. These kind of siddhis are an obstacle as the "goal" could be called the dissolution of identifications. So called "natural" siddhis can manifest spontaneously when identifications are dissolved, anyone K. awakened probably knowing several by experience. IMO, the only "worthwhile" siddhi is unbroken Awareness ) Love, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 Regarding the inquiry about yogic flying, the only people l know who have talked much about this are the TM crowd. As a matter of fact, l think there was something about it on the Discovery Channel last week, which l suspect may have triggered this. TM practitioners have often been ridiculed about their attempts to fly. l have never heard of any of them truly doing it. What they're famous for doing is hopping, which is admittedly a pretty poor imitation of flying. The hopping l've seen has persuaded me that there was some degree of yogic attainment involved, in that l don't see how the hopping was physically doable otherwise. But yes, one has to ask: why bother?? jerrysan rinpoche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Right on target Jerrysan - I've seen several documentaries about it, and the excuse for hopping instead of flying was something like "more practice needed". Once I even put a direct question and received a response that was meant to remain "private" so I can only give a summary: whatever "trick" to get people "out of the dream" is OK...
