Siddhis are special powers or abilities that are believed to be attained through spiritual practices in various traditions, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. These powers can include abilities like telepathy, levitation, and healing, and are often seen as a sign of advanced spiritual development. In the context of yoga, siddhis are often discussed in ancient texts, such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Practitioners may seek these abilities as a byproduct of their meditation and discipline, but many teachings emphasize that the ultimate goal is spiritual enlightenment rather than the pursuit of these powers.
