Psychic Abilities and Yoga with Christopher Key Chapple

In this conversation, Christopher Key Chapple explores the psychic abilities — the siddhis — that are woven through the yoga darshana, and that Patanjali lays out in detail in the third pada of the Yoga Sutra. He speaks to the practices through which these capacities arise, the method Patanjali offers for taking apart and regenerating our experience of reality, and the holographic vision of consciousness that underlies the whole system. A leading scholar of classical yoga, he reflects on how seriously the tradition takes these powers and what they reveal about the nature of mind.
