Hi
In order to avoid hijacking the threads of others, I spawned this post from "need opinion on training" originally posted by [i]Infinite[/i] ([url=http://www.psionicsonline.net/forums/index.php/topic,1827.0.html]http://...).

Essentially, technique for different methods of movement become somewhat pointless at a certain point. You simply do the action of moving, with intent.

Agree, but different methods of movement tend to introduce different kinds of [i]mindblocks[/i] or [i]illusions of difficulties[/i]. This is the case for me at least.

Further, the concept of difficulty is an illusion really. The physical universe on the quantum level is essentially... well, non physical. The boundaries are truly that in which you create. Don't limit yourself with clipping concepts like difficulty or distance if you have been. Lastly as always, practice makes perfect.

Again, I agree, but I'm having difficulties applying this theory to the practice. Every time I practice pk, at some point I become aware of doing it (usually happens when I see undeniable evidence of pk at work) and the reflexive boundaries kick in. I have actually felt the reflexive stasis shield popping up around the psi-wheel. After that, it's almost futile to practice any further - even twitching it becomes too difficult. I can usually try again a few days later .. until the same thing happens :-\.
It's as if my mind has gotten so used to objects not moving on their own that it's trying hard to stop it whenever it happens (I guess 18 year old habits are hard to break). Another factor is probably the fear that I might unconsciously damage something around me or that someone else might see weird stuff randomly happening around me. A while ago I was seriously afraid of my laptop sliding down the table at night; I managed to overcome it by doing focal meditation on the laptop standing still for a few minutes.
Getting excited is another thing that I keep hitting myself with. Fortunately enough, this can easily be controlled after some practicing.
It's like I know that I'm the one creating all those boundaries, but I still haven't exactly realized/understood it completely. I don't know about this problem, but usually they are easily solved, when one becomes fully aware of the problem.
Edit: I think I answered my own question. I guess the solution would be concentration exercises. I found this page:

I would be thankful for any suggestions.
Thanks in advance..
I defiantly feel for you, i get similar problems when working on new abilities. I get a kind of snap whenever i realize that something is working, and it makes my ego come forward and halt all progress to the exercise.
As you stated, concentration exercises and maybe some meditation should help to remedy this behavior.
Best of luck in your endeavors
Thank you, before reading your post, I didn't know it could be because of my ego. After I read it, I kept stumbling on pages where I read the same thing over again :D.
I think that the concentration exercises that come up during meditation are more effective than these looking-at-a-dot-on-the-wall exercises (like the ones that I found on the web). Although, the latter ones might be a bit safer.
While meditating, I sometimes just intend for a concentration exercise and I pop right into one. The reason I think I haven't been doing many of those is that it's a hell. They aren't exactly easy and when there's an exercise to be done, there's no way to give up anymore - it simply haunts until it's solved. Quite recently I even had a nightmare (haven't seen any for years) that turned out to be one of those exercises when I realized what's going on. It's easy to just freak out and forget that none of them can actually be impossible as it's just my ego I'm up against.
The ego is simply the projected self. I guess you could say it's the version of you generated by the frontal cortex. By moving your consciousness into the middle-back of your head, you usurp the function of the ego which is to maintain the continuity of reality. This is why most exercises go wrong when people either don't relax, or they think to hard, as this just keeps you in the front. I always imagine myself falling back, and i try to feel it too. When i do this it forces my consciousness into the middle of my head.
