I suspect card is talking about actual hovering or
flying-through-the-air, not hopping. And I suspect
Vaj knows this.

In any case, it isn't clear what "rapid pranayama"
Vaj could be talking about. As he knows, the only
"rapid pranayama" that's part of TM-Sidhi practice
is done for a very short time, before meditation,
long before one begins the sutras, let alone gets
to the Yogic Flying portion.

Here he appears to be referring to "bellows breathing,"
which (as Vaj knows) is *not* part of the Yogic Flying
practice (although it may occasionally occur spontaneously
for some practitioners; it happens to me once in a while,
but by no means before each sequence of hops).

In other words: Vaj is attempting to mislead--again.
