<\/p>\"bent_spoon_side_view\"<\/a>\"Bent_fork\"<\/a>\n

The word, psychokinesis, is from two Greek words; mind and movement. It is used to describe the ability to use only your mind to move or affect physical objects. One of the easiest ways to try your own hand at this, is by trying to bend a stainless steel spoon.<\/p>\n

At the Irva 2016 conference in New Orleans we had a spoon bending party. It was a simple Friday evening get together, the attendees and a large tray of assorted stainless steel flatware. We each grabbed a spoon, fork or other type of metal cutlery and went to our seats. Angela Smith<\/a> talked us through it. She told us the utensil would get warm and there would be approximately 30 seconds available to bend or twist it into the shape we desired.<\/p>\n

About 20 years ago, I had tried spoon bending and was able to do it on my own and so I was fairly confident that I could do it again. I wasn\u2019t sure if a spoon might be too easy, especially if it has a thin neck and so I tried to find what looked like a solidly made fork.<\/p>\n

The first thing you want to do with your object of choice is to try to bend it cold to ensure that initially it feels solid and well-made. You want to know that you will be achieving something with your mind that you can\u2019t do with your hand and brute force.<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s time to concentrate. I think it helps to gently rub the area that you want to bend.
\nYou want to connect your mind with the metal object. Be at one with it. Open your heart
\nchakra. It took about 5 minutes before the first participant called out success and held up
\ntheir bent object. Others slowly followed suit. It seemed that about 85% of the participants
\nwere successful.<\/p>\n

If you are holding the area of the object that you want to bend, you will know immediately
\nwhen it warms and softens so that you can quickly bend and twist it. And then you will notice that it hardens again and you can no longer bend it.<\/p>\n

Was this a skill that humans have always had? Is it possible to do greater things with the
\nmind? Was it this type of skill that enabled the movement of the large stones that were put
\ntogether to build the great pyramids in Egypt? Grab a fork, try it yourself and see.<\/p>\n
