Shakti of Magha

  • tyage kshepani shakti =

  • power to leave the flesh-body = enter trance

The 1-27th portion called Magha = Makha is said to facilitate a variety of identity change " movement of the soul away from the body".

This quick movement during the change of spatial relationship between the body and the perceiving apparatus called "soul" (seeker, listener) creates a Brightness that is likened to a burning sacred fire.

Trance "heat" can be understood at metaphorically similar to the experience of "atmospheric re-entry" that we now understand from the space traffic of various high-powered airborne vehicles coming and going through the Earth's electrical atmosphere.

They do get hot from the abrasive particulate friction and sometimes burn up completely if not properly shielded. It looks like they are just moving through the "air" but indeed many fields of particulate structure are being penetrated and navigated in order to change levels.

Quick dis-assembly of the particle structure of the protective aura which surrounds the flesh-body and again quick re-assembly upon exiting the trance state to return to normal life perceptions are the special blessing granted to Magha.

In the old books, Magha is likened to a type of death and indeed a trance is a bit like a very brief and voluntarily entered coma. Its special characteristic is heat generated by the speed of the change in field of consciousness.
