As such, one can also retain the samadhi state during the dreaming state of consciousness. It is during the dreaming state that the yogic flying can be easily experienced.
But MMY was pushing the envelope by saying, "if you can fly during the dreaming state, why not fly during the waking state as well?" > The theory of human levitation is pretty easy to follow - the theory is that if you learn very deep meditation you can go into a "yogic" trance induction state, which will help "burn off" all your accumulated "karma" of your past actions that are holding you down. The deeper and longer you transcend to a state of "pure consciousness", the more heavy karma and sense impressions you will dissipate or burn off. At the same time, you have to be wary of accumulating new karma as you act in the present world - so you should move about as little as possible and practice "ahimsa" or harmlessness. In order to keep the body conditioned it is recommended that you practice several body positions and placements. There are several very helpful yoga "asanas" you can employ such as the head-stand and the bound lotus position. Also, counting the breaths is a very effective form of "tapas" (an aspiring yogi should be able to count at least the distance to the sun and back.) And, if you follow the yoga dietary injunctions, such as consuming a single uncooked wheat-berry per day and some filtered water, in time you will become almost as "light as a cotton fiber." At first, you may simply hop or skip a few inches on a foam mat; then you will progress to hovering a few feet off of a sofa; and then with even more practice, you will be able to hover and move around a few feet over the desert floor in the middle of the night. The theory is simple, but the implementation is complicated.
