Has anyone ever seen someone else levitate? I have never, heard of it and wondered if it actually happens. I mean seeing someone rise above the ground and not an illusion of a magician either but someone actually levitating ... anyone? Just curious.

I once flew around the block. Does that count?

That depends. A block of what? I heard they only have blocks of sand in your neighbourhood?

Alleoops, I do not think OBE and Levitating is the same thing (?). It is more common in the eastern cultures isn't it? Do camels fly there?

When I was hunting as a child (I got my first gun at eight!) and was walking in the woods barefoot looking up into the trees for squirrels, I stepped on a snake.

My body magically flew into the air and about ten feet farther away.

Metalwing. I believe you. My brother and I were watching tv, sitting on the floor. He is phobic of snakes. (Which was wierd, we dont have snakes in NZ). A snake came on the screen and he jumped backwards, 4 feet, maybe more. Never seen anything like it!

light skill and levitation is achieved by filling the upper chakra's with qi

Did you physically see a person lift up off the ground and levitate it the air with no support whatsoever underneath their body? I am wondering if it is a real thing one can accomplish and not a magical illusion and for what purpose would a person want to levitate. Why do people if it actually does occur, why would they want to levitate, what benefits are achieved ...etc ?

The chakra I have a basic understanding of and "Qi" is life force, I think (?) ... so if filling the upper chakra's with 'light" or a spiritual life force makes a person float up, whole body and all? Again, have you witnessed this occurrence, for what purpose do people do this?

Step on a snake barefooted and I'll show you a reason to levitate!

Like Ladywind, I believe you too. I have heard of moms lifting cars to get their youngsters out from beneath ... must be adrenline working at its finest moments in life! A good example of an external 'fight and flight' 10 feet is a pretty good leap metalwings . Feats of strength is a device our bodies are capable of by anyone when ultimately needed! Interesting eh?

... and I bet I would jump higher than you



Well let me tell you a story there metalwing... When I was a young girl around 10 years old, I stepped on a old rusty board nail bare footed walking around an old barn out in the county while visiting some country cousin relatives. Let me tell you I jumped high too but not until the nurse gave me one of those tetanous shots! !

But think about this. If you were to "push off" with enough force to jump ten feet, the reactive force would crush the snake. The snake was unharmed so it almost all had to come from the other foot and there was no big squat happening first to give the legs extra push.

Interesting point metalwind. So, you were picked up by then by a force off the ground you think. The snake theoretically should of been flattened and would of striked right at you in defense. But then how much weight really does a 10 year boy have when snakes are wonderous built, have you ever seen their stats? Quit impressive, Zoology 101.

I killed my share with stick, shovel, gun, and whatever else was around.

LMAO!! I CAN verify white gals can jump! Stepped next to a copperhead a couple weeks ago, looked down and flung myself backward.

I was envisioning a rather large snake. We only have garter snakes here and a shovel will do them in but these type here are harmless.

I am just saying too, and even some of those little guys have quit the skeletal and muscle system.

The last snake I say in my yard was about six feet long. I thought it was a water snake but I think it actually was a rat snake.

The one I stepped on as a child was probably three feet long. I don't remember if I know what kind of snake it was. There were lots of different kinds around. Sadly, the snakes have greatly diminished in this area due to loss of habitat.
