How Do You Levitate?

Levitation is a physical impossibility if you are standing on the surface of the earth.  The gravitational pull can only be overcome briefly when you jump, but of course you return swiftly to earth.  An aircraft diving towards the earth will create conditions of weightlessness for the crew - such as is experienced by an astronaut - but this is not strictly levitation.  Levitation type tricks are sometimes performed by magicians, it can look quite convincing but it is simply an illusion.  The magician creates the conditions for you to see what you want and expect to see,  like sawing the lady in half and the usual disappearing people kind of tricks. They are good fun but are just very clever illusions, nothing mystical is taking place.   

People will sometimes believe what they want to believe.  A good comparison is the so called surgical operation you may have seen performed on TV  by a mystic in some far off land.  They claim to operate on and cure people with their bare hands, without anesthesia.  There is no wound after the operation is complete.  Gullible people really believe that this is beneficial and can cure an illness.  There is a fee to pay of course for the service.  Remember, there was only one person who could do things like this for real and He turned water into wine, made a few fish feed five thousand people and brought dead people back to life.  Don't believe mumbo-jumbo!

Levitate means "to ascend." As a part of pyschokinesis, physical objects and people are lifted into the air or 'float' in the air without any physical aid. In Buddhism, it is mentioned that one can levitate himself or herself through meditation. In this kind of spiritual meditation, one has to be completely focused in the mind. There have been marvellous achievements which have taken place in levitation especially in the tribal areas of Africa, parts of America and Asia.
