Moderator's note: Original thread title was "A little experiment." I edited it to make it more explicit. Please use titles that clearly indicate the subject matter of the thread. Thanks. -Jay

I got this from one of the books listed in the back of RWW.

Get a volunteer to help you, and tell then to stand with their straight arm extended out to the side from the shoulder. You stand in front on them with your arm extended straight out in front of you and push down on their arm while they try not to let you. It may not go down.

Now get them to relax, put their arm down to their side, close their eyes and repeat "I am a weak and unworthy person." 10 times, And really feel the words.

Now do the arm thing again. It should go down easier now.

Get them to relax again, but this time say"I am a powerful and worthy person." 10 times.

Do the arm thing again and see if you can still push it down

I tried this on someone, and it did work.

Try it and post up your results.

Let someone try it on you too.

Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Since no one else is biting ....

I think this "experiment" is quite unscientific. :D

Probably so, but did you try it?
