Part of it is. The mantra and repetition have to begin the process and hopping around involves energy and effort whether you realize this or not. On my siddhis course my friend and I were the last to hop and the instructor sat with us until we did so. Having languished for days watching my friends in my pod plop around on foam and make strange noises my friend and I finally looked at each other and let 'er rip. We had to try or we weren't going to "graduate" from that summer course. Finally we gave in and joined the crowd. It was never that effortless to bounce and I certainly never flew. So at least on my siddhis course we had to do whatever it took to move off our butts and it involved trying or at least exerting an intention. Maybe it is all in the semantics. > > > > ________________________________ > From: laughinggull108 > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2013 7:07 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Maharishi Mahesh Yogi on History Channel > > > Â > http://blip.tv/raja-felix/maharishi-on-history-channel-3723794 >
