“It is a process of turning your inner Self to the spiritual secrets of any object. When a spiritual person focuses on any object, he gets the whole secret about the object right from the place where they are, there are no physical boundaries. If it is regarding the human body, they get the complete knowledge of it. Likewise, when they do samyamum on stars, planets and even faraway places, all the hidden secrets regarding them will be known.” — AtmaNambi
The path of psychic seeing—known in Sanskrit as Samyamum or Samyama—is one of the most profound gifts revealed to sincere seekers by the ancient sages. AtmaNambi’s teaching distills this mystical art into a simple yet transformative directive: by turning the inner Self with focused intention, one pierces beyond the visible to access the spiritual truths hidden within any object, place, or being. Whether your quest is self-knowledge, understanding the mysteries of life, or realizing your innate oneness with existence, the path of Samyamum offers a map to develop subtle perception untethered by time and space.
This article unpacks the rich spiritual depth of Samyamum, its origins in yogic wisdom, practical ways to cultivate this power, and the liberating impact it can have on your spiritual journey.
The term Samyamum (Samyama) emerges from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, where it describes the combined practice of three essential yogic limbs: dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (union or absorption). Samyamum is not a passive phenomenon but an active, deliberate process where the seeker’s awareness is so intensely focused that the boundaries between subject and object dissolve. In this state, all knowledge about the object—physical, energetic, and spiritual—is revealed directly.
In Advaita Vedanta, consciousness is not limited by the senses or the mind. What is called “psychic seeing” is an expression of the all-pervasive Self (Atman) which, when unobstructed by ignorance or distraction, is naturally capable of direct knowing across any distance or apparent barrier. This is echoed in AtmaNambi’s teaching: “there are no physical boundaries.” The secret is the integration of awareness, concentration, and meditative absorption—a unity that dissolves separation and reveals hidden layers of reality.
The essence is not magic, but the unlocking of latent faculties inherent in all humans when awareness is trained and harmonized.
Think of Samyamum like polishing a mirror: when the mind is steady, clear, and one-pointed, it reflects the hidden truths of whatever is placed before it. Your inner Self, when unobscured, has unfathomable clarity—able to receive wisdom from the heart of existence itself.
1. Steady Concentration (Dharana):
Begin by training attention. Pick a simple object—a flower, candle, or sacred symbol—and practice focusing on it without distraction. Notice thoughts that arise, let them pass, and continually bring attention back. Even five minutes a day begins strengthening this “psychic muscle.”
2. Deep Meditation (Dhyana):
Move beyond mere focus into meditative immersion. As concentration stabilizes, the sense of separation from the object diminishes. Allow yourself to simply be with the object, resting in the awareness that observes.
3. Absorption (Samadhi):
In time, with patience and practice, the boundary between observer and observed vanishes. In this state—Samyamum—all of the object’s secrets, at every level, become known directly, not as thoughts, but as living insight.
In the highest sense, AtmaNambi’s description is a metaphor for awakening itself. To “see” psychically is to turn awareness so inward and pure that all boundaries between Self and world dissolve. The secrets that become known are ultimately revelations about one’s own true nature.
AtmaNambi’s deep wisdom on psychic seeing—Samyamum—calls you to recognize and reclaim subtler dimensions of your consciousness. The gift of seeing beyond physical boundaries is offered to every sincere seeker ready to train attention, meditate deeply, and let their own Self shine through as a beacon of knowing.
Reflect today: Where could greater awareness serve your life? In what area do you long to “see” beyond appearances to the spiritual truth? Trust that, with time and guidance, the secrets you seek are already present within, waiting for your focused, loving awareness.
