معلق شدن در هوا (فراهنجار)

معلق شدن یا شناوری در هوا در باورهای فراهنجار عبارت است از بلند شدن بدن انسان و دیگر اشیاء به هوا به روش‌های عرفانی. برخی معتقدان فراروان‌شناسی و مذهبی، موارد مورد ادعای معلق شدن در هوا را نتیجهٔ عمل فراطبیعی ناشی از قدرت یا انرژی معنوی فرد تعبیر می‌کنند. جامعهٔ علمی عنوان می‌کند که هیچ مدرکی دال بر واقعیت این پدیده وجود ندارد و مواردی که ادعا می‌شود اتفاق افتاده با علل طبیعی (مانند حیله‌های تردستی، وهم و توهم) قابل توجیه هستند.

Levitation is the act of ascending into the air and floating in apparent defiance of gravity. Spiritual masters or fakirs are often depicted levitating. Some take the ability to levitate as a sign of blessedness. Others see levitation as a conjurer's trick. No one really levitates; they just appear to do so. Clever people can use illusion, "invisible string", and magnets to make things appear to levitate.
