Supernormal:
Science, Yoga, and the Evidence for Extraordinary Psychic Abilities

PRESENTS A
SCIENTIFIC
REVIEW OF
NUMEROUS
SPECIAL
ABILITIES
HUMANS CAN
POTENTIALLY
DEVELOP,
WORKING
FROM THE
FRAMEWORK
OF THE
SIDDHIS FROM
PATANJALI’S
YOGA SUTRAS.
S
upernormal begins by
discussing the mystical abilities yogis from
India have been experiencing and writing
about for thousands of
years. While mystical
abilities have been long associated
with extensive meditation, the Yoga
Sutras warn of the stumbling blocks
of greed, ego and ignorance that can
distract and interfere with people’s
focus on inner transformation, which
should be the desired goal of meditation.
Discussion of yoga and yogic powers
may seem irrelevant to most people
living in the western world, yet the
truth is that yoga has been making
slow, steady inroads through western
culture for some time. Most people
now know, for example, that meditation can reduce stress and aid in healing. Westerners tend to practice yoga
mostly as a physical activity, yet yoga
is but part of a much greater spiritual
and metaphysical mind-body-spirit
practice.
