Does Yogic Flying produce soma? I've noticed that when I occasionally do "flying", almost all my ailments vanish, for a couple of hours at least. For instance my almost continuous mild to moderate heart burn (prolly caused mainly by Helicobacter pylori -infection) disappears usually after a couple of minutes of aakaasha-gamana -suutra; I actually do only the first part (kaayaakaashayoH sambandaH) mainly to avoid the noise early in the morning.
