As a daily practitioner for more than thirty years of meditation and the deeper teachings of yoga, I have found it curious that, even though I have not sought them out, I have crossed paths with ghosts and other astral forces.
In fact, when I was asked to lecture on my book The Reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln at a paranormal conference a few years ago, I realized that I had a lot to say on the subjects of ghosts and ghost hunting. It also became clear as I spoke that most of what I was saying was new to my listeners. I was presenting a view of ghost hunting that veteran ghost hunters had never heard before. In addition, I was aware of techniques and concepts that could help ghost hunters achieve greater success in their efforts and avoid some of the pitfalls of their pastime. Here, then, is the essence of what I have shared at ghost-hunting conferences, along with additional helpful tips and techniques, all based on ancient yogic teachings. Once we know more about what ghosts are and the world in which they live, we can gain a better understanding of what we may experience on a ghost hunt.

The Yoga of Ghost Hunting - Richard Salva
INTRODUCTION
As a daily practitioner for more than thirty years of meditation and the deeper teachings of yoga, I have found it curious that, even though I have not sought them out, I have crossed paths with ghosts and other astral forces.
In fact, when I was asked to lecture on my book The Reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln*at a paranormal conference a few years ago, I realized that I had a lot to say on the subjects of ghosts and ghost hunting.
It also became clear as I spoke that most of what I was saying was new to my listeners. I was presenting a view of ghost hunting that veteran ghost hunters had never heard before.
In addition, I was aware of techniques and concepts that could help ghost hunters achieve greater success in their efforts and avoid some of the pitfalls of their pastime.
Here, then, is the essence of what I have shared at ghost hunting conferences, along with additional helpful tips and techniques, all based on ancient yogic teachings.
People go ghost hunting for a variety of reasons. Ghost hunts can be fun and fascinating, yet there is much more to them than that. Serious visitors to haunted houses recognize that what they are doing may bring answers to some of life’s Big Questions—Is there life after death? Are ghosts the spirits of people who have died? Is it possible to find proof of these subtle realities?
Once we know more about what ghosts are and the world in which they live, we can gain a better understanding of what we may experience on a ghost hunt.
As I said, the information I am sharing here is based on the deeper teachings of yoga as taught by great spiritual masters and world teachers.
If you look at the front cover of the Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper album, you will see near the top right-hand corner a man with long dark hair and bright eyes. This is Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi.*
Yogananda’s powerful bestselling book has inspired millions throughout the world, including such well-known individuals as the Beatles and Elvis Presley. In one of the later chapters of Yogananda’s autobiography, he relates an amazing experience—three months after the passing of his Guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar, the great spiritual master physically resurrected himself (raised himself from the dead). He embraced Yogananda and shared deep teachings. In that chapter, the just-materialized Sri Yukteswar told Yogananda many fascinating details about the afterlife and the energy sphere that ghosts inhabit, which he called the astral universe.

Chapter One
JUST WHERE ARE GHOSTS COMING FROM?
Sri Yukteswar told Yogananda that [t]here are many astral planets, teeming with astral beings. The inhabitants use astral planes, or masses of light, to travel from one planet to another.
The astral world,
he explained, is infinitely beautiful, clean, pure, and orderly.
Various spheric mansions or vibratory regions are provided for good and evil spirits. Good ones can travel freely, but the evil spirits are confined to limited zones.

In this fascinating chapter in Yogananda’s autobiography, Sri Yukteswar describes what astral beings look like, what their bodies are made of (prana, or lifetrons
), what they eat, what people look like when they arrive in the astral world after death, how astral beings communicate, and more.
The ordinary astral universe,
he said, is peopled with millions of astral beings who have come, more or less recently, from the earth.
In addition, he went on, there are also non-human beings, which he described as fairies, mermaids, fishes, animals, goblins, gnomes, demigods and spirits.

Sri Yukteswar also spoke of the great size of the astral universe.

We know that the physical universe is unbelievably vast. Scientists have clocked the speed of light at 186,000 miles a second. Going at that speed and traveling from earth, it would take a spaceship more than four years to reach the nearest star.
Keeping that in mind, consider that there are approximately one hundred billion stars in our galaxy. And there are about one hundred billion galaxies in the physical universe. Between most galaxies are wide reaches of space.
So, what we can see through our telescopes is pretty big. But the astral universe is much bigger.
To give an idea of the size difference between the two, Sri Yukteswar said that the physical universe is like the basket that hangs under the huge hot air balloon of the astral plane.*
This analogy is inexact in that the physical universe is not suspended from the astral universe in any physical way. Rather, part of the subtle astral universe merges with the smaller physical universe—lying behind it, so to
