Are siddhis—supernatural powers—something to be avoided or embraced? In this thought-provoking episode, Giovanni challenges the modern tendency to dismiss siddhis as a pitfall or a distraction. He shares the traditional tantric and yogic view where siddhis are seen not as ego traps but as sacred, trainable capacities—expressions of Shakti herself.You’ll explore how the pursuit of siddhis can serve your spiritual evolution when approached with devotion, discipline, and humility. Giovanni also addresses the colonial, rationalist, and non-tantric forces that led to the cultural repression of these practices—and why it’s time to reclaim them without shame or fear.You’ll learn:What siddhis really are, and how they differ from mere experiences or glimpsesWhy classical texts like the Yoga Sutras devote significant space to themHow desire—even for powers—can be a valid doorway to spiritual growth in TantraThe colonial and reformist forces that pushed siddhis into tabooWhether it’s ethical to charge for siddhi-based servicesThis episode is both a defense and a celebration of the fuller spectrum of spiritual possibility. A must-listen for anyone curious about the deeper capabilities hidden within sadhana.
