Human is a wonderful creature. No wonder we are called the crown of creation. Human abilities are truly endless and scientists still cannot explain some of them. No wonder it is considered that we use only a small part of our brain. Here are people who could do extraordinary things.

Fire-walking
Fire-walking is one of those strange things that lots of us wonder about – people seem to be able to do it without getting burnt and without feeling pain.
In some countries fire-walking is an important religious ritual. This unusual ability was first tested in 1935. An Indian man called Kuda Bux walked on red-hot coals. The fire’s temperature was 300 degrees C, but his feet weren’t burnt and he felt no pain. Scientists who examined Kuda Bux’s feet said they weren’t even warm!
On April 14, 1985, about a thousand people gathered at the California Institute of Technology sports field to see a demonstration of fire-walking. After the demonstration some brave young men decided to try and walk over fire. By the end of the afternoon 125 people had walked through a pit of fire without feeling pain.
Scientists now agree that this is an example of the power of the mind over the body.

The ‘Blue Light Lady’
In April 1934, a young woman from Italy began to have a very unusual problem. When she was sleeping, a blue light came from her body. When she woke up, it disappeared. Her family called in doctors and scientists. They watched her sleeping for a week, but they couldn’t explain it. After three weeks, the blue light disappeared and never returned.

Body Fire
In 1985, a young girl from Cheshire suddenly caught fire on a college staircase. Jacqueline Fitzsimon, a seventeen-year-old student, was walking arm-in-arm with two friends when she suddenly started burning. Three people tried to stop the fire, but it was too fast. The poor girl was taken to hospital but doctors couldn’t save her. Jacqueline died. Firemen and police could find no reason for the fire or why it was so sudden. Nothing around Jacqueline Fitzsimon was burnt.

Levitation
Some people are able to lift themselves off the ground and stay in the air with no help.
Probably the most famous story is of a Scottish medium, Daniel Douglas Home. In 1868, while people watched, he flew out of a third-floor window. He then flew back into the building through an open window in another room. He also levitated furniture and other things.
Many yogis can lift themselves off the ground while sitting. This is called yogic flying. Yogic flying is another example of the power of the mind over the body. Today, there are yogic flying competitions in many countries.
