SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO — LEVITATION!

http://www.foxnomad.com/wp-content/u...levatation.jpg Someone asked me today during our Zazenkai if FOLKS IN ZAZEN CAN LEVITATE.

Well, I am open minded about such things, but I have never seen so in person. The only photos I have seen look either like they have been photoshopped, or there is something wrong with the photo (such as the dark background and sleeves in these photos which surely hide a platform) ...

... or the person is "bouncing" more than flying ...

I have had sensations like levitating off the ground during long Zazen, great lightness and motion, but that turned out not to be so when I looked down. Oh, the mind can play tricks during Zazen.

HOWEVER ... I KNOW THAT LEVITATION EXISTS IN ZAZEN, FOR SURE! REAL LEVITATION IS ALWAYS IN ZAZEN ... FLYING EVERY WHERE AT ONCE!

Today’s Sit-A-Long video follows at this link. Remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells; a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended.

Oh, we all turn into Golden Dragons each time we sit! Truly! And each and everything else too! I kid you not.

Hmmm . . . well, I did just read the other day that scientists still haven't quite figured out how gravity actually works . . . so maybe . . . ;)

You left us all a bit up in the air on this one Jundo.

Endless time to make more circuits and bumps, I think.

Thank you, Jundo,

My wife levitates sometimes. The other day I spilled coffee on the carpet & she went through the roof.
