Astral Yoga is the art
of spiritual development through ancient yogic practices. Most people today
are very familiar with the practice of Hatha Yoga, and its concentration on
various “asanas” or postures and breathing exercises. This is excellent for
bringing flexibility and good health for your body, but it really is only
the preparation for deeper yogic development.
Astral Yoga involves developing the intuition and spiritual abilities,
called “siddhis”. Siddhis have been described as spiritual powers or
abilities by Patanjali, who is considered the “Father of Yoga”. Patanjali
wrote about developing spiritual abilities in his Yoga Sutras. Spiritual
abilities are known today as: extra-sensory perception, telepathy,
clairvoyance, clairaudience, remote viewing, scrying, levitation, and astral
projection. Although these spiritual abilities appear to be supernatural,
they are really just the natural progression of human development towards
Self-Realization which is the real goal of Yoga.
I have been practicing yoga for several years and have experienced many of
these abilities in my own life. This led me to write about my experiences
and challenges that I faced on this path. Other yogis and people on the
spiritual path have experienced
these spiritual powers in their own life also. Christian saints, such as
Teresa of Avila, referred to these spiritual abilities as spiritual gifts
from God. Teresa was known to levitate while in deep prayer. Hindu yogis are
able to do extraordinary feats, such as enduring extreme cold while
meditating out in the frigid snow deep in the mountains of Tibet. Mystics
throughout the ages have reported supernatural phenomenon, like Immanuel Swedenborg,
who had experiences of “remote viewing” and was able to see events occurring
in other cities, while at home in bed.
Everyone has the potential to develop their intuition and spiritual
abilities for themselves. You do not have to be a prophet or a saint. It is
part of our spiritual evolution. Astral Yoga is a path towards spiritual
development and fulfillment. Through ancient yogic practices, we can enhance
our intuition and broaden our consciousness of the universe. By raising our
horizons, we gain a better understanding of who we are and our purpose on
this planet.
