Let Go of Pain that's Holding You back
Some of you reading this article may have experienced levitation (body spontaneously jumping) in one form or another. In my case it first happened in 2015, during an online programme run by Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. Then, in 2017, I did the TM-Sidhi programme with The Maharishi Foundation. It culminated in ‘yogic flying’, in which my body also jumped off the ground. Several of us on the programme learned to use the phenomenon to bounce along from one end of the room to the other - on thick foam mats like those shown in the photo above.
The completion technique - taught by Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam and explained in chapter 3 of The Power of Letting Go - makes levitation easier. Our pain patterns - otherwise known as samskaras in Sanskrit – weigh us down. When we ‘relive to relieve’ painful incidents in the past, we let go of the pain which has been producing negative thoughts and making life difficult. Letting go of the pain that runs our lives enables us to take off - literally in some cases.
