Psychic Powers: How to Develop the Siddhis

Meditation teacher Richard Crown reveals how you can develop the siddhis, or yogic psychic powers, safely.

Sodarshan Chakra Kriya to Develop Occult Powers

Some people study Tantra in the hopes of gaining occult powers or siddhis and wind up disappointed when their teacher won't - or more likely can't - teach them how to acquire them. If you are willing to devote some time and effort to the practice, Sodarshan Chakra Kriya is a pranayama that bestows psychic powers, says Anmol Mehta.

Background: Sodarshan Chakra Kriya (set) was taught to me by my Kundalini Yoga teacher Ravi Singh who studied it under the guidance of Yogi Bhajan. It dates back a few thousand years and is reputed among all the known Yogas, including Kundalini Yoga, to be the most powerful Pranayama exercise there is. You will notice that it is called a kriya, although a kriya typically is a complete set of asanas and yogic exercises (see Introduction to Kundalini Yoga for more information on kriyas and how Kundalini Yoga works in general), it also applies in some cases to a single exercise, which is very complete in and of itself. Sodarshan Chakra Kriya is a pranayama exercise that is exactly that, very complete and also very powerful.

Benefits of Sodharshan Chakra Kriya: The superlatives describing Sodarshan Chakra Kriya are lavish to say the least. In Yoga terms it will give you Nao Niddhi (the nine precious virtues) and Artha Siddhi (the 18 occult powers). Read more

What Tantric Sex Is... and Isn't

"Tantric sex and tantra practices have the ability to manifest siddhis, mystical powers, such as clairvoyance, clairaudience and other paranormal powers. However, we must not allow these powers distract us from our goals," says Tantra teacher Chandi Devi in her article, describing what Tantric sex is... and isn't.

Here in LA we are bombarded with false information about tantra. Tantra is the union of two souls, the art and science of joining body, mind and spirit. It is the study of vibratory energies, the union of opposite polarities, the feminine and masculine conjoined in a harmonious duet of love and beauty. This yoga requires the aspirant to master and discipline his/her body and mind to illuminate the Spirit within and without. Tantra yoga can be a difficult and treacherous practice. Surrender of the ego insists upon commitment, dedication and the spirit of the warrior. Read more
