Q: I meditate regularly and concentrate on the muladhara chakra. Sometimes in between my conciousness and sleep, I suddenly see my body flying and horizontally lying above the ground to some height. It is not my dream but of sure, it is some kind of experience which I cannot explain or understand. I feel breathless and see a bright light. I try to move or shake my body but I cannot. I don’t even feel to share this wonderful experience with anybody except you. Please explain what is happening to me. Please help.

A: Well, whatever you are writing, from that I can say it is nice; a good experience which you are having. Definitely, the mind gets boggled and says, “How is it possible”. But there is one pranayama in ashtanga yoga which is called the plavini pranayama & then there is one typical lock which one can do through which again there is a possibility that the body can levitate.

But levitation isn’t a very big thing; the important thing would be understanding & knowing that you are indeed separate from the body; seeing yourself as a body which is levitating a few inches above the ground, I don’t believe that it is something very great. So you need not be too proud for this but indeed if you keep on meditating, then there are various experiences which may seem to be pretty difficult to digest but yet they are true in there own way.
