In order to gain credibility, we have to keep the discussion to things that people can observe empirically. I don't know anything about energy--if people find that thinking about energy helps them, t...

Another way to get an understanding of what it means to add strain, try "flashing": close your eyes or, better yet, do palming for a while, and then open them for a splitsecond, with the only goal be...

One more thought. As you inhale and exhale, see if you can feel a subtle movement in your eye muscles. This movement is a form of locked-in strain. It might take a while to notice this movement, but i...
