Yogic flying

Yogic flying is the purported ability to levitate which is a capability one gains through advanced practice of transcendental meditation (TM). While sitting cross-legged, yogic flyers can move around in a hopping kind of motion. This actually represents the earliest part of levitation, the "perfection of leaping like a frog". Proponents of yogic flying claim world peace can be induced by thousands of simultaneous yogic flyers spread world-wide.

Facilities and Practioners

Facilities for purported yogic flying are located at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa and at Maharishi European Sidhaland in Skelmersdale, U.K.

During the 1990s, various Natural Law Parties encouraged the use of yogic flying as part of their party platform. Current plans by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Transcendental Meditation Program and related programs, include building 3000 Peace Palaces in major cities, and creating permanent groups of 8,000 yogic flyers to create permanent world peace. A group of 500 Vedic pandits, all flyers, will soon be in residence at Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa.
