Hello everyone… I haven’t been here in a while.
I have heard of people who can go into meditation and literally shut off their reflexes and nerves to the point where they don’t feel any pain and reflex action is in abeyance. Is this possible? If so, how does one do it?
Thank you much
PJ
I would say that is totally not true. I could give you an example but I better not. Just trust me - its not true.
Well then I don’t understand… how do hypnotized people do all of that? Aren’t meditation and hypnosis both on the same brainwave length… or something like that?
Hello PJ,
Many things are possible that are not yet scientifically proven. Many things can be done with this or that (meditation, concentration, etcetera) that seem to go against what we currently believe to be “true”.
As I understand it there are renunciates who can do all sorts of things which I’ll call “tricks”. And I personally do not advise students to get hung up on these sorts of things. Making a watch disappear does not necessarily move one closer to one’s self.
What I’ve learned in yoga is that there are layers of truth. And as Neils Bohr once said “the opposite of a profound truth is often another profound truth”.

Hi PJ2001
As InnerAthlete has pointed out, many things are actually possible and although I don’t have personal experience with above mentioned state that you refer to, I would like to add perhaps a different view to this.
I have heard of many other great things people will do under “meditation”, what I can tell you is that meditation doesn’t concern itself with these type of siddhas or powers, in any case the meditation I was taught by my teacher and which I teach to others. Doing things like what you describe is actually more related to Tantra yoga and the states associated with Tantra rather than with meditation.
If it is siddhas you are interested in, then find yourself a good Tantra teacher who over time will teach you how to acquire these siddhas, but if you are interested in meditation, then again find a teacher who can properly guide you to that state of meditation.
[I]THAT[/I] was what I was trying to say… the “witness state” in yoga (sakshi bhav). And yes tantra yoga is where I heard about that, thank you.
Ok then, how does one go to the “witness state”?

You believe in anaestehetics but you do not believe in your own capacity to grow. You seem to settle for obvious/average human abilities. Regarding their own possibilities, most of today’s people are analphabets.
Yes, it is possible and much more. You would not beleieve it … so I’ll stop.
Read the first chapter of “Iron Shirt Chi Kung” by Mantak Chia. He will tell you that iron shirt was proven to be not so iron when someone shoots a gun at you or stabs you with a knife. But you can develop pressure inside to take a good punch. The human body has physical limitations proven by science.
Hello,
yes InnerAthlete is right. InnerAthlete you gave very good information. As i thought Meditation is really very good thing and better for health and mind.
cheers!!
