8 Ways of Impressing Yourself...Eventually. How Real are The Ashta-Siddhis? Dear Friend,
It's always fascinating to hear about people's extraordinary experiences with their Kundalini meditation. And it could be a preview of the potential abilities in all of us.
Lily describes how she felt a hole at the top of her head open up and the sensation of 'melting into the universe'. Her friend, sitting beside her, nods and adds that 'everything was Love' (watch here 1 min).
Steve described being with a random group of people and being able to 'hear' what each of them was about to say, before they opened their mouth to say it.
Beth* described the sensation of her body feeling so light as she meditated that she felt the need to hold onto something to prevent herself from floating up (levitating).
In the Kundalini yoga literature, Beth's experience is a 'siddhi' (power) called 'Laghima', meaning 'the ability to become weightless or lighter than air'.
Along with 'Laghima' siddhi, there are seven more that are mentioned in the literature, making a total of 8 siddhis and often referred to as the 'ashta-siddhis'.
But nowhere in the literature is mentioned the ability to be in two different places at the same time, which was documented about Shri Mataji in a newspaper story about a traffic accident in Bedfordshire (Read it here).
One thing Shri Mataji did say about siddhis is that you can have them too. So dedicate some time to daily meditation and impress yourself in 8 different ways...eventually. More below.
