Yes, if you could find a big enough body of water for it to float on. Saturn is very large and is the second largest planet in the Solar System. Since it is lighter than water, it can float on water. None of the other planets in our Solar System can do this because they have a higher density than water.

“…the feminine planets are Saturn, Venus and the Moon, the masculine ones are the Sun, Jupiter, and Mars.” Saturn is usually thought of as a masculine planet, and here we have this statement in a very early text where (s)he is listed as feminine.

Concentration and a steady hand are needed to float aluminum coins on water. Aluminum coins can be “floated” on water. They are actually supported by surface tension. The coins will move together to form crystal patterns.

There’s a trick that can actually make metal coins float, and it’s totally trippy to see. You carefully level the coin (which needs to be made of aluminium and not zinc) onto the surface of the water with a paper clip, and then slide the paper clip away. Boom! The metal coin is floating.

An assistant lies down on a table. A frame is placed over her middle. The magician then presents an electric jigsaw and proceeds to align the blade into a slot in the frame. The magician switches on the saw and apparently uses it to slice through the assistant’s waist, which remains obscured by the frame.

The levitation of a magician or assistant can be achieved by a concealed platform or hidden wires, or in smaller-scale illusions by standing on tiptoe in a way that conceals the foot which is touching the ground.

Normal things, even humans, can levitate if they are placed in a strong magnetic field. Although the majority of ordinary materials, such as wood or plastic, seem to be non-magnetic, they all exhibit very weak diamagnetism. Such materials can be levitated using magnetic fields of about 10 Tesla.

During the trick, Copperfield flies acrobatically on the stage, performs a backflip in midair, and then has spinning hoops passed around him, supposedly to prove that he is not suspended by wires. The illusion sometimes ends with a falcon named Icarus grasping Copperfield by the wrist and flying off stage with him.

Dr Josipovic has found that some Buddhist monks and other experienced meditators have the ability to keep both neural networks active at the same time during meditation – that is to say, they have found a way to lift both sides of the seesaw simultaneously.

The sleep paralysis linked with out-of-body experiences was thought rare, but may strike between 40 per cent and 60 per cent of people at least once. They report sensations of floating, flying, falling or leaving one’s body.

Magnetic levitation is a method by which an object is suspended in the air with no support other than magnetic fields. The fields are used to reverse or counteract the gravitational pull and any other counter accelerations. Maglev can create frictionless, efficient, far-out-sounding technologies.

Buddhism asks its followers to understand the world and themselves in a deep and transforming way. Various schools of Buddhism use meditation in different ways. In a Tibetan tradition, meditators might use a mantra which is repeated to help focus their mind and which embodies the truth of Buddhist teaching.

The six perfections are (1) generosity (dāna), (2) morality (śīla), (3) patience (kṣānti), (4) vigor/diligence (vīrya), (5) concentration (dhyāna), and (6) wisdom (prajñā). This list was expanded to complement the ten stages (bhūmi) traversed by a bodhisattva in the course leading to full buddhahood.

What do monks do all day? They do the things that make them communal — Mass, prayer, reflection, service. They also do the things that make them unique — exercise, collecting, composing, cooking.

Popular media and case studies have recently highlighted negative side effects from meditation—increases in depression, anxiety, and even psychosis or mania—but few studies have looked at the issue in depth across large numbers of people.

There are nine popular types of meditation practice:

• mindfulness meditation.
• spiritual meditation.
• focused meditation.
• movement meditation.
• mantra meditation.
• transcendental meditation.
• progressive relaxation.
• loving-kindness meditation.

Stress and an overactive mind can often stand in the way of getting good quality sleep. Research has shown that meditation can calm the mind and help promote better quality sleep. And remember, while meditation can improve your sleep, it doesn’t replace good sleep hygiene.

When the Bible mentions meditation, it often mentions obedience in the next breath. An example is the Book of Joshua: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it.
