What are the siddhis and what will I learn?

We have all heard of the concept of manifestation and the Law of Attraction. Ancient yogis developed manifestation to a degree not even dreamed of in the West. The pinnacle of that development is the legendary siddhis that defy belief. However, even a little practice of this yogic technology, based on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (the authoritative ancient text of Yoga Philosophy), can greatly enhance your ability to manifest your desires in your daily life–and accelerate all the benefits of meditation.

Although this wonderful yogic technology is rarely understood or experienced today, Patanjali focused fully one-fourth of his Yoga Sutras on the siddhis. Why? Because the technique that unlocks the siddhis, samyama, offers a breakthrough in human potential, growth, and healing. Although you won’t soon find yourself flying through the skies like an ancient adept, samyama will systematically suffuse your mind and body with blissful prana (life-force), awaken refined perception and enhanced intuition, and bring your life into a Flow of grace such that Nature will spontaneously support your desires and heal your body, mind, heart, and spirit.

You can expect the Siddhis 1 course to help you develop:

  • Heightened intuition and subtle perception.
  • Loving kindness, compassion, and empathetic joy, for yourself and others.
  • Greatly deepened meditation that will heal, soothe, and strengthen you in body, mind, and spirit.
  • Tangible access to more creative levels of mind.
  • The ability to manifest your desires and receive the support of nature in all you do.
  • Facility with samyama, the experiential basis of the legendary yogic powers.
  • An understanding of the more esoteric principles of the Yoga Sutras.

Ajayan is a true yogi and his teachings and coursework are a testament and insight into his practices and realizations in action; an unveiling into the hidden works of energy, body, and mind on a path to liberating from it all.  This training is advanced, technical, and most importantly effective and skillful, and builds from other trainings that he offers. Even though the training was online, using Zoom, Ajayan’s experience, delivery, enthusiasm to share, boiling the ocean down to precise explanations made the experience attractive, engaging, approachable, and rewarding.  I will take this training, and others from him again.  – Raj Patra, Yoga Teacher, Portland, OR

I just want to say Thank You for creating and offering the Meditation Siddhis Course! Since starting the class my life feels so creative and directed. Intuition feels honed and clear with many delightful surprises showing up! I am relaxing into a new level of trust with the unfolding of life. What you have taught here feels like it has the potential to align us with such potent possibilities for our lives and our dear world. I am so grateful Ajayan. – Moey Bryant, Artist

The Siddhis 1 course has been a life changing experience for me. The course is so much more than the name implies. The meditations on Loving Kindness, Compassion & Empathetic Joy have helped me nurture and cultivate these qualities within myself. I have experienced blissfulness, groundedness and hopefulness in my daily life experience. Further, the discussions on enlightenment were simply marvellous. I highly recommend this course to all seekers. – Akanksha, Sharma, Counselor

Ajayan’s meditation journey

Ajayan has been exploring and teaching a variety of meditation practices since 1970 and is the founder of Effortless Mind® meditation.

From 1994 to 1998 Ajayan studied with India’s most widely revered living woman saint, Mata Amritanandamayi (Ammachi, the “hugging saint”), living at her main ashram in Kerala, India, and serving as the meditation teacher there. While in India, Ajayan also spent time with holy men and yogis in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand—a haven for saints throughout the ages—and researched the spiritual practices indigenous to that area. Later, he studied under the Tantric teacher, Swami Anandakapila.

Is the Siddhis 1 course the TM Sidhi Program?

Short answer: No. Ajayan feels a debt of gratitude to his first teacher, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Yet, Ajayan does not teach the TM Program® or TM-Sidhi® Program. Instead, what you will learn in this course is based directly on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and Tantric and Advaitic teachings that shed additional light on the siddhis and their role and place in the Vedic schema of the evolution of consciousness towards Enlightenment. For this reason, even if you have learned the TM-Sidhi Program, you are sure to benefit greatly from this course.
