- 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!
