The five mundane powers are found in all the shamanic and yogic traditions, and occur spontaneously to a lesser extent in some individuals. They are:
Magical powers: the ability to transform one of the four basic elements of the physical world (earth, air, fire, and water) into another.
Divine ear: the ability to hear sounds near and far, on earth and in other realms.
Divine eye: the ability to see into the future, to see things near and far, on earth and in other realms.
Knowledge of one's former births and the previous births of others.
Knowledge of the states of mind of other beings; that is, the ability, to "read" or know the minds of others.
