In the non-chart evaluation of yogic flying, I always like Nancy de Herrera's account in her book "Beyond Gurus" (apparently reprinted as "All you need is love" http://tinyurl.com/jhw7e ), p. 444-5:
"Oh dear, I can't stop," Doris hopped past me; evidently the Vedic sound triggered her. It was amazing. We repeated the program several times during the two hours. By the end of the session, about one-fourth of the class was hopping up and down. It was such a sideshow, I couldn't keep my attention within. I was in no hurry. I'd promised Helen and my family, "I'm not moving off this pad unless something pushes me. I am not going to get carried away by group dynamics." The second day, Margareta shot up in the air and landed about three feet in front of herself, then made another hop of the same distance, and another. During the rest period, I whispered, "How did it feel?" She was exuberant., "It's very strange. You feel so light and full of energy. You just have to hop!" "But was it you who hopped, or did some force enter you?" "I don't know. When it happens again, maybe I'll be able to tell. This time it was so unexpected." Her reserve had dropped, "Nancy, this is fun!" .... It was on the fifth day that I got my wings. On other occasions when repeating the sutra, I had experienced dizziness, a loss of direction, and other unusual sensations, but no urge to rise up. Now, into the five-minute period, I began to feel strange. My body started to shake uncontrollably; it started in my bottom and worked up to my head in spasms. Next came a real shock of Kundalini, a shaft of heat shot up my spine, it was scary. I'd had some experience with Kundalini in Rishikesh, but not like this. I thought of stopping the repetition of the sutra, but no, Maharishi assured us we'd be all right if we obeyed instructions. These thoughts flickered through my mind as my head seemed to be held in a vice -- the vice became tighter. Suddenly, it was as though someone reached down and pulled me up into the air! I went up and down, and up and down -- not forward or sideways, just up and down. What fun! It was so easy. My legs slipped out of the lotus position; I went up about two feet in the air just touching the pad with the outsides of my baby toes."
