That is wonderful Ananda. 
I agree with this scenery!! You are an angel. And beyond.
Much Love
hi Yonatan, and thank you for the lovely comment but this ego of mine which i am still pretty much identified with wishes to have the qualities of an angel but is actually far from being… but i trust in the words of dear Yoganiji that with time, practice, and bhakti all will keep on heading toward the better and up till now that’s working faster than i thought it would and it’s beautiful to watch it take effect: the yamas and niyamas are definitely getting much more… and there is a dawning of a new insight into matter at hands, i wouldn’t call it wisdom but it’s a step toward a simpler way of being …
namaste brother and much love to you too(f)

Eka dantaya Vidmahe Vakratundaya Dimahi Tano Danti Prachodayat…
AAUUMMM,
I turn my thought to the Lord with one tusk…
I meditate upon Him with a crooked trunk…
May the tusked One guide us all in the right Way…
That’s a wonderful insight…I might point something out as well…There is a reason why Lord Ganapati is related to the Root (Muladre Chakre.) One has only to look at the human skeleton/body in gross anatomy…
Viewing it posteriorly (on the “backside”) the Pelvis, Sacrum and Illac form his great winnowing basket ears…, the Sacrum and Cocyx form his trunk. Folks that put there bills and lottery tickets under Ganapati do not fully understand him. Remover of obstacles is only one of his many names, he is also the Lord of Obstacles, he creates them, puts them in place and he removes them. Hence depending upon its inherent action Mulaband either “anchors” or “releases” the Kundalini in the Root.
In Western religious parlance we often hear of the Holy Spirit as “descending in the form of a dove.” If one looks at the top of the Caduces (the forebrain, midbrain, brain stem and spinal cord), it again becomes clear where this image comes from. Alternately the wings of the dove are the “occipital horns” of the brain, or looking at the medial portions of the two halves of the brain, from a flat perspective, with the stem beneath, it resembles a dove with its wings outstretched! (Pretty kewl heh?)
Regarding the discussion of wings, often times becoming aware of the subtle bodies I’ve experienced many things…I have experienced the concept of “wings”, and as well, experienced it as the body becoming enormous, enough to fill the cosmos, or becoming infintessemly minute, able to ride on a single proton.
While enjoyable, fun, interesting, etc, and often (for me) experienced outside of formal practice, I treat such things as “window dressings” or “roadside scenerey” to utilize Yogani’s metaphor.

hi Jivaakabhasana Yogi , don’t worry all of us here know that it’s passing scenery… i mostly share it to inspire beauty and bhakti and remember some of the beautiful scenery i’ve seen on my path when i get back to my old posts on the other hand i share my pains and sorrows as well so that i may remember where i came from…
namaste
Aauummm,
Yepperdoodle, no worries here Ananda !!! 
‘spose I only mention that out of a sense of “duty”, but yea, the scenery can darn well be inspiring to share in the right time n’ place for sure.
Angelic wings were also a Talmudic and Kabbalistic way of saying that the individual or being in question was not limited by time or space…this carries over to Orthodox Christianity, where one often seas John the Baptiser with wings (as well as other particular saints that were said to bilocate during there lifetimes.)
I’ll also take this time to wish all a happy Vernal Equinox. In many cultures throughout history, the equinoxes (equiniii???) symbolized new beginnings, as the day and night are equal in length…one can then leave something old behind, and take up something new one desires.

Thank you Christi and all others for this beautiful and interesting topic. It makes my heart light on this dreary, stressed-filled Monday morning
I had read somewhere (sorry, can’t site, it was quite a while ago) that what humans interpret as “wings” are actually powerful energy cords, just as you experienced, Christi - (and as a highly-developed crown chakra can be seen as a halo)…interesting stuff to think about, a great experience for you
Wonderful experience!
Hi Wigwest,
Yes, when they appeared on me they were about the size of a golden eagles wings and as you say, formed by a collection of energy cords or strands. Interestingly, the angels I have met also have bodies formed by strands of energy.
It was a few years ago now that I first saw my wings and have not seen them since, but funnily enough, they started to re-appear last week, just as this thread got re-opened. 
Hi Ananda,
Great that you have seen yourself as an angel. Scenery, reality, who knows?
“We are an in-between species on the evolutionary scale. In-between the animal kingdoms and the divine being kingdoms. We are a species in transition.” [Yogani] (from lesson T10)
I am sure you already have the qualities of an angel. As I’m sure you know, the heart is more important than the wings. 
Christi
Hi Christi…
I believe those are the left/right chi channels overflowing…in higher stages,the sahasrara integrates them in a huge ball of energy/light,and you get the Horus look(horns of wisdom).
This is because the energy flowing down from sahasrara,left and right.
But some people feel them on their shoulders,as integration on top of the head(the radiant aura) has not happened yet.
Bill Bodri explains a bit about this on http://www.meditationexpert.com/yoga-kung-fu/y_christian_tongues_of_fire_chi_purification.htm
Anyway…glad you’re becoming an angel Christi…
Much love to you.
Danny
ps…As I recall,the Zen master Hakuin had big issues with the energy overflowing from his shoulders…when he was over-exerting himself in meditation…finally he got some Taoist master to help him release the stagnant energy,by telling him to do some pranayama type exercises,and he was fine.
Thanks Danny.
I’ve developed white feather wings during meditation.It’s alrite as scenery.
When the sensation of those wings on the shoulder blades continued during the rest period after meditation,that’s when I started to doubt my sanity.
thank you for this post,it’s a relief!
<3
Thank you for sharing and opening up again this beautiful topic which is filled with the sent of mystic…
yes… although i quite enjoy the feeling myself
maybe…
that is an excellent question indeed…
it is the wise sage who burns all his books
hint: those gods are actually you at some point even if they have blue skin
angelic light body?
that is only a guess
wings tend to show up a lot in christian archetypes
fairies, pixies and the like are magical creatures shown with wings in some folklore
hindu literature abounds with stories of gods having wars in flight (in the air)
many mythological gods and heros learn or know the secret to flight
it is rather curious…
Thank you aaall for this excellent post…
My little experience with wings are bit on the funnier side. I at times got one wing at ajna, exactly where I expected to have an eye someday 
. And I could even flap it also, in the sense, that if I turn my head to the right, it will softly touch left side of my forehead, and vice versa. I feel it through the little cold breeze it produces. It’s one of the very pleasant sceneries.
Now I do not know that how badly I need a wing on my forehead to proceed with spirituality, and no idea about what it may mean. I just enjoy it when I find it then let it go. Please share if you have any idea about this.
The artist you were discussing about in the first page is Alex Grey I believe. Following are some links showing his work. Wikipedia has an interesting article on him.

I find his works amazingly deep reaching. Enjoy
Hi Dawncalling,
What you are experiencing is the energetic form of the ajna chakra. It is a cone shaped spinning form of energy (prana), with the smaller point touching your forehead, and the larger aspect moving away from your body. It has an electromagnetic aspect.
The “eye” aspect of the third eye is centred more towards the centre of your head (pineal gland) and around the sushumna nadi.
Thanks for the Alex Grey links.

I am also confused as there is no mention of humans having etheric wings in any of the yogic literature that I have seen, or even of chakras on the shoulder blades?
There are statues of angels in hinduism also. I saw them in an asiatic museum in France last year and i took some photos. 
Don’t know how this is related, but I’ve been having some real changes going on during the last few days in my aura… It seems like it’s radiating more or I don’t know what, there’s just a lot of scenery going on… One of which spread like fire from the sushumna and outwards on both sides and it expelled all form of negative energies around the place where I was… It made me feel that the wings are only a little part and there’s much more concerning the body’s radiance never mention our consciousness which unites us with everything.
Love,
Ananda
I have noticed not only that as the good book says, “A kind word turns away wrath,” but also that a kind gesture, a kind way of being in one’s body (including the subtle body), a kind intention do the same.
Being at the museum lately I’ve remembered this subject.Looking at the sarcophagus and statues there carved with human-with-wings.What I noticed also is the presence of snake and the disc of sun above some figures-supposedly gods-.some of these collections are from 10th or 11th century before BC.
When I reached "Sarcophagus of Ahiram " :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahiram ,I heard a continuous drum sound coming from inside myself and i could identify it with my left ear.It was pleasant and kept me silent for sometimes.
just felt like sharing this info.
Would like to point out that I personally don’t consider the possibility that these wings I felt are there…I accept the explanation that it might be scenery due to energy flowing in the spinal chord.Specially that I felt energy movement afterward in the shoulder blades.
Alrite :)I’m writing these words and I remember writing it before…Sigh
Love;
Delara
