I read the Wikipedia article on this and it seems to suggest meditation can lead miracles like telekinesis: "Hearing this, I mentally repeated the mantra, I noticed that my breathing was getting heavier. Suddenly, I felt a great impact of a rising force within me. The intensity of this rising kundalini force was so tremendous that my body lifted up a little and fell flat into the aisle; my eyeglasses flew off. As I lay there with my eyes closed, I could see a continuous fountain of dazzling white lights erupting within me" Although I respect meditation and the religious beliefs of all, I don't believe any of this is possible. I don't know if an afterlife exists, but find it telling that nothing paranormal has ever been recorded in a verifiable manner.

I think the only way to know is to have the experience. I'm with you - it sounds too farfetched. It can't possibly be true... on the other hand, almost every single book I've read on the subject, including by people I've met, talk about such things. In Indian yoga these abilities are known as siddhis. But as they seem impossible the only way I could be convinced is if they happened to me. Healthy scepticism is the point though. If we were content just with belief, we'd never need these practices.

Trying to submit this research article on Kundalini awakenings, but getting throttle for some reason: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8417526/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8417526/ Psychologists have accepted the experience as real. The American Psychiatric Association added a diagnostic category for religious or spiritual problems some time ago.
