There wasn't any of that on my course. Almost all of us "ladies" hopped, but there were a few who didn't, and they got a lot of support, were told not to worry. I was never asked to say whether I hopped when I applied for a course. > > By the time I learned, it was common knowledge > > among TMers--at least in New York City--that it > > was hopping rather than flying. > > That was definitely different at my time.

I've rarely had a sensation of floating, and I had no experience in particular during the initiation. But I'll never forget the first actual flying session and the internal sensation of the hopping *impulse*, although I had no idea what it was until several days later when I actually started to hop. That sensation impressed the daylights out of me because it was so powerful and so clearly triggered by thinking the sutra. Nobody had said a word about what it would feel like, so I had no idea what to expect.
