SECRETS OF THE MYSTICS
Control your heartbeat!
Have someone find the pulse in your
wrist. If you want to get really
dramatic, have two different people,
one on each wrist. Tell them to feel
your pulse with one hand and to tap
out it's rhythm with the other. Tell
them that you will slow and eventually
stop your heartbeat all together. As
they begin tapping, they are soon out
of rhythm with one another, then they
gradually get slower until there is no
pulse felt at all. You can really make
a big production out of this by acting
like you're in a "trance" etc.
The secret: Hide a tennis ball under
your arm, inside your shirt before
attempting this. when it's time to
slow your heart rate, simply press
your arm against your body so that no
one notices and the ball will press
against the artery that feeds your
wrist. They will feel no pulse!
You can really slow or speed up your
heart rate with just a little
practice.
Imagine you are in a very peaceful
setting. Floating on a pond or in a
pool on a tube or raft, just about to
fall asleep. Once you can really
imagine this (even feel the sun on
your face), Take your pulse. It will
be lower than it was before you
started. To speed it up, simply do the
opposite. Imagine that your are in
some terrible situation, wolves are
chasing you and about to catch you.
You are breathing hard and about to be
caught. You run faster but it's no
use, they are upon you, ripping and
snarling! Now check your heart rate,
It should be considerably faster than
it was when you were imagining the
peaceful scene.
With just a little practice and
imagination, you can get pretty
dramatic with this. It makes a great
lead- in to the tennis ball trick!
