My latest adventure.

Thinking it might be fun to do a spoon bending class (Note the links on the sidebar.), I decided to practice. I bent my first spoon a few decades ago in a class and realized that the group energy helped to amplify the results. It is a definite mind shift when you succeed.

Time to revisit and see what I can do.   

Stocking up with a couple of packages of spoons and forks to experiment with, I started with the forks. Bent a couple with no problem. Then came the surprise.

Fork bent. Spoon cracked. Focus matters. 

Working with a spoon at a different time, I was multi-tasking, holding the spoon and reading something on the computer. My intention with the spoon was to remain detached to avoid pushing the energy into the spoon. I wanted to engage without forcing it.

The moment came and I bent the spoon. It broke. A clean, crisp, crack at the neck. Apparently, my effort did exactly the opposite of what I thought I was doing.

Pulling the energy, froze it. I showed Andy to get some feedback. He knew immediately the spoon had fractured. The metal crystallized at the breaking point.

So - I discovered I have at least two options, bending and cracking. Jack Houck, infamous for his PK Spoon bending parties did a lot more than bend spoons. Good to do a bit more research on this one.

Now for more experiments. What fun this could be.
