Can humans really levitate?

[phillipbbg]

I thought I might start a thread on Levitation starting with one of my favourite videos of an African Shaman performing Levitation.

In my view he is using the throat chakra as the source of his power to resist gravity... or as many may say quackery and fake camera work.

Would like to hear of others experiences or opinions on levitation and possible ways to escape the clutches of gravity...

Attaining The Power Of Levitation (Laghima)

The power of levitation can be attained by performing Samyama Meditation on the Throat Chakra. The Throat Chakra, also called Vishuddha, is the energy center in the subtle body associated in the physical body with the area of the throat. Its corresponding element is Ether or Space. Mastery over this element allows anyone to neutralize the gravitational pull of the Earth which is the main thing that keeps our feet on the ground.

Let's see if that worked.

[bearcow]

camera work is not very good, but this one could be real. He set up a circle of fire, so it is possible he summoned a spirit or elemental to create the phenomena.

[phillipbbg]

Here is an interesting read

Acoustic Levitation Of Stones (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/antigravityworldgrid/ciencia_antigravityworldgrid08.htm)

Another slant on levitation, but like all of them at there centre is SOUND.

If you put a speaker next to a open plastic bottle of coke and get the frequency correct the sound waves will cause a droplet of coke to rise from the surface
I will see if I can dig out a video of this....

[DevilPigeon]

I'm unsure as to whether this is a hoax or not, however I'm not dismissing the concept as I believe we've all got abilities that have been suppressed for thousands of years, not helped at all by the education system we have to endure.

I do think that "cameraman #2" needs to seek alternative employment though, rubbish to say the least! :)

[Amity]

As much as I believe in Levitation I cant help be think that this might be a hoax. I didn't help that the picture wasn't really that great and the second cameraman was useless lol.

One other thing if it is real its strikes me as kinda pointless, He's obviously using a lot of energy and not getting much in return, it's not like he can float down to the shop to get some milk! :P

[Ilie Pandia]

While I do believe that levitation is possible is my personal opinion that his video is a hoax.

Here are my arguments for that:
- they have had plenty of time to prepare for this event, so they should have got proper lights on the scene
- the body of the shaman looks to be anchored on the mid-section that is very rigid
- the second camera stays away from the mid section filming either the head or the legs
- we have no clear shot from the back of the the shaman
- contrary to what the commenter says the shamans looks anchored in the mid section and not floating on air

When my levitation efforts will prove successful I will post a video :P

Do an "advanced search" (upper right [corner] of the page), and see what comes up... [no comment]

[Peace of Mind]

I think this can be done. I’ve been dealing with some strange things in the last year. I’m starting to move objects by staring and focusing intently on them, but it’s very very draining, time consuming and often leaves me dizzy and a little confused. I’ve yet to move anything further than 2 inches, the most I’ve done was with in that distant. Mind reading by gazing into eyes is becoming a regular thing for me now.

Levitation is interesting to me. Sometimes, when walking I feel my body become very light and off balance, my feet seem to search for the ground instead of just touching it. It feels like I’m dreaming when this happens. This only last for a short time thou, especially when I start to make sinse of what just happen. That’s probably the problem now that I think about it…making sinse of it…using knowledge that was giving to me by my oppressors can’t really be that beneficial.

I clearly remember a weird incident I had years ago. I awaken one morning (I strongly believe I was floating over my bed) and fell to the bed and bounced off of it and hit my nose on a radiator. If I wasn’t floating than I had to be standing up on my bed and fell as soon as I became couscous….it’s the only explanation I can think of, but the angle of my landing doesn’t support that either. Never has this happen again, not yet.

Peace

[Fred Steeves]

When my levitation efforts will prove successful I will post a video :P

I'll do ya one better, when I get the hang of it I'll mount a camera on a helmet like skydiving cameramen and ya'll can come along for the ride. I'll also be sure and get the expression of the clerk at the corner convenience store when I come floating through the front door to grab some milk.


Cheers,

As this leaves you a bit dizzy etc, could I suggest you re-energise yourself before trying it by using this breathing technique.

When you breath IN visualise air going OUT of your body and when you are breathing OUT visualise air coming INTO your body....
Its a bit hard to explain but if you get the swing of it you will build up a lot of energy. Also if you close your eyes and apply mild pressure on one of your eyes you should be able to see how strong your aura is and what colour it is. Blue spots would be a good sign of high energy....

Hope this helps.

[MariaDine]

A have a friend , also a therapist , share this event with me.

It happen during a reiki/Cura quantica session. She saw her «pacient» levitate of the massage table for about 10 cm.

She was so astonished,because no one had done that during her healing sessions.

She had to sit down a bit after the session because of «shock»....

Namasté

Ps- 10 cm and for a good half an hour. She tried several times to push her gently down. ...LOL

[sepia]

She saw her «pacient» levitate of the massage table for about 10m.

[Lord Sidious]

When I was in high school, we had an english teacher that showed us something not remotely connected to english.
She got a volunteer, a girl and seven more of us.
The seven had to walk around her while she was laying on the floor and we all chanted, we were told it didn't matter what.
I forget now how many times we had to circle her.
After the required amount, we all leant down, put one index finger each under her, and lifted her almost to the ceiling.
The girl had nightmares for nights afterwards she said.
Not entirely the same as what you are talking about, but I just remembered it and thought I would share.

Sounds like my primary school music teacher who had us all line up naked to show him that we had our nametags sown into our uniform and underwear.
I think he is someone's bitch in some prison now. Needless to say music club is cancelled.

I did read somewhere that monks used various instruments and a choir of throat speakers to move giant stones with vibration.
They would form up in a V formation infront of the object that needed moving.

That's this report, by Dr Jarl in 1939.

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/antigravityworldgrid/ciencia_antigravityworldgrid08.htm

Jarl was a physician who was called to treat a monk at the request of a Tibetan friend, and traveled to Tibet. He stayed for a while, and described in detail the ritualistic raising and moving of huge stones - which others had described but which no westerners had ever witnessed.

[Sophocles]

I think levitation indeed is possible.

But the clip in this thread leaves me with a doubt. I read somewhere (cant remember where) that this shaman has a magnet attached to his back and that he is being "controlled" from somewhere in the bushes behind him. I dont know if this is possible, but I thought it was worth mention.

[manny]

i friend of mine tried this once in my back garden.
he was really good at it.
only thing is he floated off.
never saw him again.

The topic facinates me as well. There are instances of rocks levitating:

[pharoah21]

I think levitation could work similar to the power of psychokinesis, which is a projection of the aura.
Imagine the auric energy of your foot soles projecting out very strongly and levitating your physical body in the air, and keeping it there, almost like locking out the extension of a push-up.
Similar to psychokinesis and also explains why it's so draining no?

My friends and I used to do this sort of stuff all the time when we were younger, very similar to what LS described.

We would all gather around someone lying down on the floor with our pinky fingers beneath them and chant 'stiff as a rock - light as a father' within a matter of seconds/minutes the person would start to levitate to about half a metre off the ground after which we would release our fingers from beneath there body and watch them floating there completely suspended in the air... 5-10 seconds later they would fall down to the floor with a thud. Very cool experience.

That and the use of Ouija Boards was commonplace during my teenage years.

I believe Reich described a methodology very similar to this. His thought was that the energy from the parties bodies was concentrated to temporarily counter gravity at a node beneath the floating individual. Very interesting, the aether strikes again!

[TimelessDimensions]

Whether this video is a hoax or not is somewhat irrelevant.

Practice the levitation techniques and see if you can experience this for yourself.

I did the same thing a few times as a child, and once when I was a student, only that time the person being levitated was sat on a chair, they wieghed nothing at all. It couldn't have been the others taking the weight as the chair would have tipped over, as I remember we were all a bit shocked, we all most threw the chair up .

[phillipbbg]

It is usually done with a person sitting in a chair, you then get 4 people to stand around the person on the chair and they all put there hands on the persons head and gently push down I think its 3 or 4 times, then the four use there index fingers to lift the person sitting on the chair in one movement. It is apparently like lifting something very light. I will try to hunt out some more detail. It has been used as a circus trick for centuries....

It is our old friend shape effecting the natural earth fields we all dwell in. We used to know this stuff but it was forced out of our knowledge base by the usual power groups once it did not suit their purpose.... Tibetan monks have been seen and documented raising large stone blocks up to high building sites by using the vibrational effects of chanting as a group.

Yeah, i remember that was a popular 'game' at my Primary school in 1966/7/8 during playtime-seemed a bit uncanny at the time,
with only 4 or 5 kids-they'd build a chant for about 15 mins then one index finger each and lift the prone kid really high up-any explanations
around for this one?

There's a video on YouTube about a rock that can be lifted by fingertip of seven muslims who said one chant. Then using only one finger each, they hoisted the rock into the air. Sorry but I can't find it right now.

If you search this forum for posts on this, and using my name as a secondary search function, you will find my 'explanation' of what and how he is doing this.

The other is this recent thread concerning admiral hoover and his statement on what the true or real abilities of humans are. You will obtain more 'data' in that thread. This may help frame an understanding into shape.
it is also 'location, location. location'. As wella s being the time that it is done.

If you read the end posts in the 'question of lithium' thread, you will find a video set that explains the points of A FLT wave, or aetheric wave. this wave is connected to physical expression and is not entirely outside of 'reality' as we know it. the mechanics of dimensional connection, as it were. Thus dawn and dusk are times of energetic change or flow. this can also be utilized.

astrological alignments, vortex positions on the globe, hotspots (vortex hotspots, etc). All this can be used as well as the shaman's inherent state of mind and base capacities and beliefs. He can also be whacked on some concoction that enhances the situation (internally) that he is trying to enact.

Thank you Turcurulin and earthship. I believe that healthy skepticism is essential in everything we encounter those days, as well as keeping an open mind, However, events in my early life have taught me that levitation is as real as it can be.

Concerning the "levitating yogee" above, ......ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ...... don't be too quick to believe he's levitating. I've seen the same type of picture before, with other people supposedly levitating. Then I saw the video. They are bouncing.

The video I saw showed three young men, sitting in that yoga position while seated on very springy soft mattresses. (Just like what the man above is on). They were then able to start bouncing, as if on a trampoline. (while still in that sitting yoga position). Then it's just simply a case of snapping a picture when the guy is at his highest point, and voila, look here everybody, he's levitating.

Edit: I'm not saying levitation isn't possible. I just don't believe that the picture above is true levitation.

My sister and I were capable of levitation in 1972. She was four, I was seven. We flew and levitated. Until our mother forbade it and we became “grounded”. Interesting word, grounded. If you are “grounded” as an adult, you are considered reliable. If you are “grounded” as a child, you are being restricted and punished from your desired activities. If you are a grounded airplane, you cannot fly. Strange coincidences, as those who ground us do not want “our heads in the clouds”. “He is a good sort - Down to Earth”... ...

[Jad]

I took a Transcendental Meditation workshop in Bangkok, and the instructor talked about a levitation contest they do every year. When I asked him about if it’s real or not, he said that it’s not like we conventionally think about levitation. He said that when you reach certain euphoric levels mentally that your body becomes lighter and starts bouncing for the lack of a better term. He showed us a video of monks doing what seems to be effortless bouncing and he said that if you try to get a world class gymnast he/she won’t be able to do it this easily.

Can you please talk more about this. Did you spontaneously learn how to do it or a being taught you or instructed you how? What was your parents reaction when they first saw you do this? Did you do have any other abilities like moving objects mentally or astral traveling? There are so many questions in my mind but can you talk about what you feel comfortable with?

Many thanks.

[Star Tsar]

Say what you will about that OP picture but several times in my life I have dreamt of levitation in that exact position, a few feet off the ground in several locations in the town here I live. In these dreams I feel mighty frustrated because I am not going high & fast enough for my liking...

:ohwell:

[XelNaga]

I personally believe that yes, humans can levitate. And not just that, I believe that we can do many many things that are called "super powers" in movies.
But society and educational systems convince us that we can't, so we accept it like that. We are magical beings, unfortunately too "stupid" to accept it.

[petra]

I was surprised back when I was younger, the Natural Law Party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Law_Party) were running in my area. The thing that caught my attention most was the "yogic flying" aka levitating, and I remember thinking "I hope these guys win" (they didn't though)

The fact that there's so many of them leads me to think that there's probably something more to it, similar to with crop circles - I don't think all of those are hoaxes. More info here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_Meditation_technique#TM-Sidhi_program).

[Valerie Villars]

When I was between the ages of 10 and 12, we used to levitate others just for fun. Usually at slumber parties.

The person to levitate would lay prostrate on the floor while the remaining girls would sit around the person. We would put two fingers on each hand under the person and think with all our might, "You are light as a feather." The girl on the floor would rise a few inches with no pressure or lifting from us.

I think the idea came from me because I had seen my great grandfather do many hypnotist demonstrations. I just had the idea in my head it could be done and it worked every time.

[Bill Ryan]

This account, reporting an experienced he witnessed when traveling in Sikkim (now a part of north-east India, bordering Tibet), was described by the veteran researcher John Keel in his wonderful book Jadoo. It's probably his very best book.

Highly recommended. Jadoo is all about his personal search in the the Middle East and Asia for genuine (real) magic. He failed to find any (though he did see a Yeti) — until the following encounter. Throughout his journey in Sikkim, he'd heard of a fabled lama, with great abilities, called Nyang-Pas.

Until he suddenly found him. Or rather, Nyang-Pas found John Keel first.

Jadoo is no longer in the Avalon Library, but there's a 7-day download link here. The extract below is from pp.235-238. Enjoy. :)


https://we.tl/t-Ds9ogDQOZP

~~~



I reached the dak bungalow at Singhik, less than twenty miles from Gangtok. While I was resting and suffering there, sitting with my head cradled wearily in my arms, thinking of the big steak I intended to polish off in Firpo’s when I reached Calcutta, a timid little lama knocked at the door.

"Shree Keel, you have been seeking me?” he said in perfect English.

“Who are you?" I asked blearily, surprised. He was about five feet tall, dressed in a thick woolen robe with a hood pulled over his head, almost covering his wrinkled, pocked face.

“I am Nyang-Pas.”

I snapped out of my lethargy and jumped up.

“I'll say I've been seeking you! How did you find me?”

“It was easy. Your trail is wide.” He smiled. He acted very shy, almost embarrassed; the mark of a man who spends most of his life alone.

I asked him to sit down in a chair but he preferred to squat cross-legged on the floor.

“I'm not used to chairs,” he explained.

“I have been watching your progress...” he continued.

“How? Through linga sharrira?” I asked.

He smiled again.

“I see you have learned something here.”

I offered him a cup of instant coffee. He took one sip, shuddered, and gulped the whole thing down like a glass of bad whisky.

During the next hour we talked about Sikkim and the lamaseries and Tibet. He said he was originally from Tibet, and now spent his life alone in the hills of Bhutan and Sikkim, searching for the “right ways.”

“They tell me you're a great Siddba,” I said at last.

He wrinkled his brows and looked down at the floor.

“No... no, I am just a simple lama, What you mean is that I'm a magician. I am not. I only practice the teachings of my religion.”

I described the mysterious séance at Changthang, and my experiences with the telepathic lamas.

“Those are primitive things,” he said with disdain. “Our teachings go beyond such crude things.”

“Can you show me something... teach me something...”

“It would take you a lifetime of solitude... but perhaps...” He scrutinized me thoughtfully. “Perhaps I can introduce you to the principles..."

He struggled to his feet, pressed one hand on the top of his stick, a heavy branch about four feet long, frowned a little with effort, and then slowly lifted his legs up off the floor until he was sitting cross-legged in the air!

There was nothing behind him or under him. His sole support was his stick, which he seemed to use to keep his balance. I was astounded.

“Can you teach me this?” I asked hopefully.

“No... it is not something you can learn overnight. It is a matter of will.”

He conducted the rest of our conversation sitting there in empty space.

[The lama then demonstrated a number of other abilities.]




When he climbed down from his perch in space he wished me luck, gave me advice about my health, and promised me good fortune. I begged him to stay with me, to accompany me to Gangtok, but he said:

“It’s too big a place for me. I am a solitary man, Shree Keel.”

He walked to the door.

“I hope I have answered some of your questions, And I hope you will never stop asking questions.”

“Is there any way I can find you again... if I come back?” I asked.

“If you come back, I will find you.”

Those were his last words. He turned and started off through the fog, the orchids, and the heaps of bare rocks. A cold wind swept over me and sent me back to the blazing fireplace. We'd talked for about two hours. God only knows how far he had traveled to spend those two hours with me.

A similar technique is to have someone sit in a chair. A few people surround the chair, saying magic words, and only use two fingers to lift the chair more than a foot above the floor and immediately set it back down, using almost no effort. I participated in this more than once years ago, as we took turns in the chair, during our Monday Meditation group. I was amazed.

Wish I could remember more details. It would be fun to do again.

[Ron Mauer Sr]

Talking with a TM "Governor" (teacher of Transcendental Meditation) I asked about the yogic flying technique they practice. The teacher said there are videos on the internet. Practitioners feel as if they are flying. Observers see it as hopping. I have not yet found the videos.

[RunningDeer]

I didn’t levitate but I could float. There was a certain place on the property where we’d play hide and seek. It was in tall grasses and a sycamore grove. I’d float just enough to glide and tumble away from my younger siblings.

We lived in the country off a long, dusty, rocky road. There was one steep hill close to home that was too hard to ride up on a single speed bike. I’d keep my head down, walk the bike, watch the rocks and dirt road under foot and 'see' me at the top of the hill. Whether I shorten the climb or shorten the time I couldn’t say. All I knew was I didn’t have to tackle the hill.

I had a feeling never to question how or it wouldn’t work. I was about 13-14. Then I hit the age where the magic stopped and labored up the steep hill. Every once in a while, I’d try just to prove it was real. I gave up because it only caused me to doubt what I knew to be true.

My wish is for the world to change so that the little ones will never lose their natural abilities and continue to refined them as they mature.


He said that when you reach certain euphoric levels mentally that your body becomes lighter and starts bouncing for the lack of a better term.
That helps put words to how I'd get that tickle in the belly, giggle and laugh (euphoric) while I tumbled, glided and floated on my hands and knees. I was just a kid being a kid.

[petra]

When I was between the ages of 10 and 12, we used to levitate others just for fun. Usually at slumber parties.

The person to levitate would lay prostrate on the floor while the remaining girls would sit around the person. We would put two fingers on each hand under the person and think with all our might, "You are light as a feather." The girl on the floor would rise a few inches with no pressure or lifting from us.

I think the idea came from me because I had seen my great grandfather do many hypnotist demonstrations. I just had the idea in my head it could be done and it worked every time.

My friends tried that one on me, and ended up planting me face first into the ceiling. Not fun. I think I might have been "too light" :P

This photo of Yogiraj Akashagiri is widely believed (by those who hold levitation to be theoretically credible!) to be genuine.

At least this one is not over a mattress!

[Hym]

The personal accounts of floating are very real with me. AriG, Running Dear, Valerie and all recount the joy that accompanies the experiences.

The African shaman video is funny and it most accurately resembles someone being suspended underneath his robe by a jockstrap and accidentally being cornholi-O'd by the wires pulling from underneath and up the back, all the while desperately trying to keep his balance. Do we see any joy in this poor fella's face? That's one of many red flags in this video:

Only performing levitation at night.
Poor lighting of the event.
And all of the shaking we see......

It does not look that way when it's real. In the video we see his balance point is at waist height. His torso remains stiff while his legs twist from side to side as he tries to hide the contraption suspending him by his stressed out goolies. We've seen this before with many a modern magician attempting to keep their cool. At least their straps and suspension systems are more like a climbing/safety harness than a ball busting, neutering contraption. His collapse at the end of the stunt is quite understandable.

Milarepa, the well known Tibetan teacher, poet and transcendent yogi, was witnessed by many in his time for flying, instead of walking. More convenient, better views, much more fun. His story is an excellent chronicle of changing your life circumstances when facing the truth of how your actions affect others, then inspiring others to live a much more enjoyable life. With his focus on loving and the natural power it brings, even in self defense, he proved it's value in contrast to acting out in anger.

Floating is a joy. Flying, however, has not been safe for a while, what with weapons that can reach the ones flying. Besides, most here don't need to show the flying unless they can share some of the "how to do it" instructions.

Hey Ron,

It is a lot of fun to do! We used to do this as children ourselves but we would take turns to lay on the ground, really relaxed and still. A couple of us would place our fingertips underneath that kids body, focus on the intent that the person would magically levitate and hey presto! It would work! It was a lovely feeling as we lifted up into the air. Children hey?

Constance, We did the chair routine as adults. I wonder if the levitation can be maintained for a few moments. But maybe the engineer in me, wanting to experiment, would spoil the party.

I recall doing this as well. Here is how we would do it.....

If I remember correctly, this could be done with 3 people - 2 people to lift one. At least it did for the seated position. I am not sure if it works with only 2 lifting if the person laying down.

1. Standing around the person you are going to lift.
2. Do not say a word...each person, in turn puts their hand over top of the head of the person (if they are sitting in a chair - over the centre of the body if laying down). Each person puts their hands over top of the other hand but not touching each other. IF a hand touches another, you must restart.
3. Continue until both hands of each person are in place, then remove each hand one by one (starting from the last one placed).
4. Then using 2 fingers - under the knee and armpit, you can easily lift the person.

I think it is the focus of concentrating to place the hands in turn without touching or saying a word allows everyone to focus and it also clears the mind of other things.

I am going to do this with my kids. Thanks for reminding me! :)

Patient, Please do a video. :-) Maybe more of us can play.

[Ivanhoe]

This isn't so much about levitating.
When I was 18 (1970), a friend and I would calm/center ourselves, not really meditation, then we would place our hands on the front of a car for a minute or so, then lift the front end of the car about 3 feet in the air.
I guess it was about intent. We weren't into meditation or anything yet, but we were starting to awaken to the fact that there was a whole new world out there that we hadn't been exposed to before.

[Ron Mauer Sr]

It would be interesting to see people, especially Avalonians, play with energy on video.

Spoon bending is another example. I've tried it a few times and was only successful once, in a group setting.

[Olam]

For what it's worth I float regularly in my dreams and at will....
I don't go down stairs , I just jump and gently float all the way to the bottom.
I once had a thought of trying it in real life and then realized that there were too many stairs to learn the truth the hard way...

Same. I actually created a levitation technique for use in my dreams. I usually am also the only one in my dreams who can do it, while no one in the dream is overly shocked that I can do it, I always see a little envy in them when I do.

The technique starts by building energy in the solar plexus region until you start to get a very strong "butterfly" like sensation that emanates from there, then you focus your intent in allowing that energy to defy gravity and push you around. I have used it for levitation, and full on flying around, but there is limited amounts of this energy that my body can build up and use, so it runs out, or sometimes I just can't get off the ground very well.

I guess what is interesting for me is that there are very strict and consistent mechanics that govern this ability in my dream states, just like you would expect in the "real world".

Also a note, when I was young I could astral travel -- I would induce it by building up a "butterfly feeling" in my solar plexus (well I called it "tummy" back then), and spin out of my body just as I was falling asleep. Not unlike the mechanics that are needed for me to fly in a dream state - but this wasn't dreaming.

There seems to be so much more to the mechanics of this in my dreams, than would be needed to get the result in just a "dream" ... I have tried levitating in real using the same method, but I can't get passed the "silly feeling" induced by "trying to levitate", lol. Maybe I should try more, taking it a little more seriously.

[East Sun]

As a kid I dreamed I could fly. Many times I would just jump into the air and in a horizontal posture grab my insteps in a kneeling position and fly. it was not easy as I had to concentrate very hard to will myself to go higher. Sometimes I did and other times I did not. While I was flying I could see what was below me in a room and sometimes outside in familiar settings.
All that ended when I got older.

I suspect that there has to be a reason or connection to reality long forgotten or why would it be in our consciousness.

Maybe some day we will find the answer.

[AriG]

My sister and I were capable of levitation in 1972. She was four, I was seven. We flew and levitated. Until our mother forbade it and we became “grounded”. Interesting word, grounded. If you are “grounded” as an adult, you are considered reliable. If you are “grounded” as a child, you are being restricted and punished from your desired activities. If you are a grounded airplane, you cannot fly. Strange coincidences, as those who ground us do not want “our heads in the clouds”. “He is a good sort - Down to Earth”... ...

Can you please talk more about this. Did you spontaneously learn how to do it or a being taught you or instructed you how? What was your parents reaction when they first saw you do this? Did you do have any other abilities like moving objects mentally or astral traveling? There are so many questions in my mind but can you talk about what you feel comfortable with?

Many thanks.

Jad,

Thank you for your interest in my story about a very early childhood experience.

My younger sister first discovered the phenomenon. She was quite special at the time (operative word, at the time, not quite so much today). She was born with an inter cranial disorder. She was born without a soft spot (fontinel). At one month old, she was subjected to having her skull split from base to tip by the nation's top neurosurgeon. Luckily, she has led a quite "normal" life since. The alternative would have been horrifying.

So, little Sis discovered the art of flying and levitating. She taught me. It really was quite natural feeling. We first started by climbing to the highest point in our access in our home, in this case, a chest of drawers. We would assume a "frog like" stance and catapult ourselves at least 25 feet down a hallway. We would jump, then float, and then come to a very soft landing. It was exhilarating. We would laugh and giggle and felt completely alive.

My mother's reaction was "no, absolutely not. That cannot be seen, nor is it safe for Beth to risk damage to her head. Under no circumstances are you two ever to do this again!". And the chest of drawers disappeared and so did our access to the 25' long hallway. Our father had no idea. He was always at work. It was the early seventies. Fathers typically did not involve themselves in domestic goings on. He did, however, take us to an interesting tour of a space craft not far from our home in Cherry Creek Colorado. Maybe he did know. Maybe he didn't. Men didn't talk then. They just did. Very sad. Please note that these are the memories of a 53 year old woman, of a weird time in history. I cannot vouch for 100% authenticity. Who is to say what cultural influences have infected my consciousness since then? But the experiences and memories are quite strong. And my sister still recalls the flying events. So there is not quite evidence, but testimony.

Astral traveling. I live at least 8 hours per day in the Astral plane. I heal there. I dream there and I create there. It is a very real place. I have also been given the most glorious gift of possibly having glimpsed the Akashic records in this plane.

I unfortunately also experience Remote Viewing/Astral Projection. Disturbing to say the least. And the biggest waste of time in this experience is the mundane. The majority of my OBE/Astral events involve eavesdropping on others having quite day to day experiences. Others whom I have not met. Just random.

But the important point to remember is that I am in no way unique or special or gifted. All beings are capable of these experiences. All beings. I once healed one of my goats in the Astral Plane. (Now that sounds nuts, doesn't it - but it happened and was real). What all beings need to know is that if they aren't having these experiences? They are blocked and if desired, should take steps to open the energetic fields to their consciousness. But I also must warn. Be very careful about your thought patterns. They manifest. Even if your intent is good, you can manifest the opposite outcome. This happens frequently to me and is quite sad. The best medicine for this is to live and exist in the moment. Take a Zen approach. Or at least try. And isn't that what our creator(s) want for us anyway? They created this beautiful world in which we should thrive and we do everything within our power to disregard the gifts and seek our own definition in an never ending cycle of creation/destruction.

AriG, I am very thankful for your post and others who has posted recently on many threads. There has been a lot of positive "anything is possible" feelings in the posts lately. At least the ones that I have read.

I have been going through some very strong positive, yet can't put my finger on it (and that doesn't matter) feelings and moments. Synchronicity is bringing all relevant posts to me.

I want to stay I with this - and I am going to do my best to do so - so if possible, could you expand a bit on the living in the zen moment thing? Or whatever you are inspired by.

I think we could all levitate - even if it is only our spirit that is doing so at the moment :)

[AriG]

Patient,

Thank you for your kind words, but let’s not make it about me 😴- the topic is levitation 😊.

(To briefly answer, everything inspires me to the point of needing to step back and take a zen approach to existence for the sake of not spiraling into sensory overload.)

Some excerpts from the book Autobiography of a Yogi (https://www.yogananda-srf.org/tmp/py.aspx?id=51):


Among “levitating saints” of the Christian world was the 17th-century St Joseph of Cupertino. His feats received ample attestation from eye-witnesses. St Joseph exhibited a worldly absent-mindedness that was really a divine recollectedness. His monastery brothers could not permit him to serve at the common table, lest he ascend to the ceiling with the crockery. The saint, indeed, was uniquely disqualified for earthly duties by his inability to remain, for any long period, on the earth! Often the sight of a holy statue was enough to exalt St Joseph in vertical flight, the two saints, one of stone and the other of flesh, would be seen circling together in the upper air.


St Theresa of Avila, she of the great elevation of soul, found physical elevation very disconcerting. Charged with heavy organizational duties, she vainly tried to prevent her "uplifting" experiences. "But little precautions are unavailing," she wrote, "when the Lord will have it otherwise". The body of St Theresa, which lies in a church at Alba in Spain, has for four centuries manifested incorruptibility, accompanied by a perfume of flowers. The site has witnessed innumerable miracles.


A yogi's body loses its grossness after use of certain pranayamas. Then it will levitate or hop about like a leaping frog. Even saints who do not practice a formal yoga have been known to levitate during a state of intense devotion to God.

I grew up watching old Kung Fu movies and I was always fascinated by how the Kung Fu monks were able to hop from tree to tree! So yea who knows? Maybe that was a common thing in those days!

This is part of the reason that the PTB keep us so busy so we do not have the time (and the mental space) to achieve some of these things.

"One day, Queenie [my grandmother] took me to a house where she wanted to visit some woman. I was about four years old and was playing out in the yard. I was standing outside of the house when suddenly I began to float up the side of the house, way up to the top of the house.

Then I floated back down again; of course, back then I was so young I had no idea of time. So I don't know how long it took. I definitely floated up in the air. When I got back down. I knocked on the door and told Queenie about it, and she laughed and thought I was making it up.

This same phenomenon happened again when I was about thirteen years old. I was at the country club that was just outside of Bedford where there was a swimming pool. It was in broad daylight.

I climbed up on the ten-foot board and did a swan dive up in the air, spreading my arms out. Then I didn't come down. I was so astounded and amazed I couldn't believe it. but I kept my arms outstretched and it was the most wonderful, exhilarating feeling I'd ever had in my life.

I stayed up there what seemed like a long time. Then finally down I went into the water. I might have thought it was my imagination because I couldn't figure it out. I knew that what goes up comes down.

But when I climbed out of the pool, Bob Armstrong came up, a redheaded kid with freckles, and he said to me, "Tee." They called me "Tee" in those days. "I knew you could do card tricks, but how did you stay up in the air all that time?"

Electronics was a young and growing field during the fitful 1940s, and radar, a recent British invention, had just been released to the States for wartime use. While at Purdue, Owens became involved with organizing entertainment events before being shipped to New Caledonia in the Pacific in 1943, where he experienced another of his spontaneous levitations.

"One day I was outside on the ship's deck," Owens recalled. "I climbed up on a hatch. There must have been fifty to sixty men up there, lying around looking at the ocean. I gave a little jump to go down two or three feet off the hatch — and instead of coming down, I went up into the air and just sort of floated.

All of the sailors were pointing and saying 'Look at that!' I was just floating and finally came down near the rail some distance away. It was really weird. I'll never forget it. It was definitely levitation. But I don't know what caused it. The sailors' eyes were all bulging out. I lost all sense of time, just as I had done when it happened in Bedford."

Good catch, armor. The guy is photoshopped in. Or should I say photoshopped up? They added a drop shadow that shows up to close to the mirror. (see arrow) I added a second one with a dropped shadow*.

To Bill and all those above: Bill's previous life as a Tibetan Monk honed his pineal gland which I believe, along with discipline of the mind, is responsible for the ability to levitate. When we are very young or have practiced dietary restrictions, our pineal glands are gateways to the zero field of antigravity. This may also explain how several people simultaneously can levitate another by creating a kind of field pattern leading to antigravity. I wish I could levitate, especially because of my back injury rendering walking a limited exercise. As for the other abilities concerning the Akashic Records, I think it would be wonderful to experience that.

I was made a Governor of the Transcendental Meditation movement in 1978 and was taught the "flying siddhi" which resulted in what Maharishi Mahesh Yogi referred to as the second stage of human flight. He said that according to the Vedas, human beings are capable of flying, and that according to the Vedic scriptures there were four stages in this development:
1. Shaking like a leaf
2. Hopping like a frog
3. Walking on spider webs
4. Full human flight

When I learned the technique, the first day I started to rapidly shake. It was uncontrollable and seemed generated from the spinal area of my body. In fact, for three months I couldn't stop shaking when sitting down. Then when doing the practice I began to hop forward in full lotus position about a foot and a half, and one day completely surprised myself by being thrust forward about six feet in the company of one other practitioner. We always did this practice on thick foam mattresses, so we wouldn't hurt ourselves. Doing it in groups seemed to make the effect stronger. It was generated from a mental technique, and I couldn't move an inch if I tried it in full lotus without using the technique.

For me St. Teresa of Avila's experience, as written in her autobiography, is the most convincing historical proof of this human ability. When the nearby townswomen came to her monastery for Sunday mass, she told her assisting nuns to hold her down when she lifted off the ground, so as to not cause any commotion with the visitors.

I grew up watching old Kung Fu movies and I was always fascinated by how the Kung Fu monks were able to hop from tree to tree! So yea who knows? Maybe that was a common thing in those days!

I have seen some pretty amazing feats by practicing martial artists and monks.

This is part of the reason that the PTB keep us so busy so we do not have the time (and the mental space) to achieve some of these things.

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. In fact, I have experienced this as a spiritual attack, where I make some spiritual progress and suddenly find myself faced with an onslaught of commissioners in my work, which is a nicer spiritual attack than some I've had happen... of course I still have more time available to me as a self-employed individual, which gives me space to meditate more than the average human, and I have had some fascinating things happen as a result. Akashic record access, for one thing. Levitation has only been in dreams, I'm afraid I must report. I had never heard of this childhood levitation practice until I read this thread. The only such story I have comes from my mother, who saw a hypnotist who floated her on a board and passed a hoop over her body and the board. She had no explanation and was completely convinced it was demons.

Well, when me and my siblings were young we did used to leap from the top flight of stairs and land safely on the bottom. Somehow without breaking any bones or twisting any ankles. To be fair that is a bit baffling in retrospect, I just never questioned we could do it but I would NEVER jump now.

I hope I get the opportunity to tell some children this is possible. :D

I believe the absence of abilities in most people is simply the lack of time to make empty space in your mind to fill with possibilities, and also perhaps not wanting to do such things. Can't think of anyone who wouldn't want to fly though, so if we can collectively give humanity this ability to levitate that would be pretty dang awesome.

An engineered lack of time, perhaps. On the other hand, we all have the same amount of it and it's what we choose to do with it and what lines we choose to draw that make it possible to use that time for quiet skill building. The opportunity was always equal for that, even if the choices were not and the guiding was not. We don't all have to want to levitate, bend spoons, or whatnot because the world still needs healing. Floating would be cooooool... but maybe not the top priority.

Still, gonna think about this for a while.

I have known some people who took the program offered by Transcendental Meditation.
Recently I asked a practitioner, a Unity minister, about it. He said it looks like hoping but it feels like flying.


He also said there were Youtube videos showing the experience.

Well, if we don't have time for the probability of our abilities ... maybe our abilities will take us by surprise at some point :)
The inventors of "good" stuff are awesome ... some things we use right now, I call that "creation"

Gravity is fantastic, impression matters:)

Sure looks like she's suspended though, and stationary.

This photo of Yogiraj Akashagiri is widely believed (by those who hold levitation to be theoretically credible!) to be genuine.

It's a still photo. Could be any number of explanations.

My sister and I were capable of levitation in 1972. She was four, I was seven. We flew and levitated. Until our mother forbade it and we became “grounded”. Interesting word, grounded. If you are “grounded” as an adult, you are considered reliable. If you are “grounded” as a child, you are being restricted and punished from your desired activities. If you are a grounded airplane, you cannot fly. Strange coincidences, as those who ground us do not want “our heads in the clouds”. “He is a good sort - Down to Earth”... ...

I knew a credible guy who said he used to be able to fly as a child. The other kids in the neighbourhood said, "yea, David can fly."

When I was between the ages of 10 and 12, we used to levitate others just for fun. Usually at slumber parties.

The person to levitate would lay prostrate on the floor while the remaining girls would sit around the person. We would put two fingers on each hand under the person and think with all our might, "You are light as a feather." The girl on the floor would rise a few inches with no pressure or lifting from us.

I think the idea came from me because I had seen my great grandfather do many hypnotist demonstrations. I just had the idea in my head it could be done and it worked every time.

Sounds like "up table." You have to see it to believe it, then you can do it, reportedly.

[Ron Mauer Sr]

Lifting a chair occupied by a heavy adult more than 2 feet off the floor was amazing, lifting with only 2 fingers under the chair from each person (maybe 4 people). We did this a few times in the 1980's for fun during our Monday night meditation group. I experienced this as a lifter and as the lifted. I have no idea how to do it again. I understand it is a child's game.

[Trisher]

There are many many things we have no idea we are capable of. If we actually see it being done in real life with no trickery then a shift would happen. We would allow our belief system and our programming that little bit more expansion. We would believe that it was probable/possible for us to do as well.

Phones would be a thing of the past (telepathy). A stroll on the river would be common place and a weekend away in another dimension free for all adventurers. :clapping:

Peter Moon also mentions in one of his books that one student of his Qi Gong teacher could briefly levitate. I’m now part of that class and heard it confirmed.

Besides that I’m a zealous believer that we can do ANYTHING

HSyUIhsOt8o
Sadh Guru is of the opinion that levitating is possible. He says there are different ways to do it. By full Kundalini raising and also by making yourself less available to gravity.

very well could be how people are abducted from forests..........no footprints and just disappeared ala David Paulides missing 411 reports.

Part of a whole vid on Myseterious stuff and a few do look faked, but this Isaac chap got me stumped. Real or fake? Jury's out.

Not sure how he doing this (or faking it)
but it looks like he putting in a lot of effort. ANY thoughts/comments or observations?

CheersCable/rope from behind. The video clip is carefully cropped so one can't see if there's anything pulling him up from above. (And the whole idea of genuine levitation — which is a real thing, but rare — taking great muscular effort is ludicrous. :))

Watch the video that precedes it, from Africa, starting at 8.08.

It's only a snippet, barely 10 seconds; I've seen the long version somewhere and it's wild. I'll see if I can dig it up.
