Did you know that just by the power of your brain and concentration, you can hold a spoon up to your forehead without it falling off? In this video, I'm going to show you how you can do that. So this is something that I did in the Brain Olympiad in South Korea in 2006 when I was younger. There were many brain games that involved training your heightened sensory perception, which are basically the senses beyond the five that you always use, like hearing, seeing, smelling, touching, and tasting. What I learned there is that through training and concentration, you can develop your brain's neuroplasticity and use it in ways you never thought you could before. First with this exercise, you have no choice but to focus on the spoon because you have to keep it from falling. That helps you be more mindful and more in the present moment. Another benefit is that your awareness and power to watch your thoughts and feelings grows as you focus and connect more within. When that power develops more, you're able to manage and control your emotions and external information in a way that helps you. So how you do it is, first, sit up straight and close your eyes and rub your forehead on your third eye, the area in between your brow bones for one minute and try to bring all your attention there. After a minute, put your hands down and you might feel some tingling, heat, or magnetic sensation on your forehead. Next, press the spoon on your forehead with your fingertips and try to keep your concentration there. If the spoon falls off, that's okay. Just keep focusing on your third eye and thinking that the spoon should stick there. After a few tries, it should stick to your forehead. Once the spoon is stuck, place your hands on your knees and try to maintain this posture for at least one minute. With your eyes closed, observe what is happening in your body and mind and what changes are taking place in your awareness. What reactions do you feel in your body? Your body will start balancing itself to keep the spoon from falling. By feeling the sensation of the spoon on your forehead, all your awareness gathers there. Breathe comfortably as you continue to feel this sensation. More saliva can gather in your mouth, your head becomes clearer, and your breathing becomes deeper without conscious effort. That means your parasympathetic nervous system is turning on and you are in a meditative state. You may also feel more peace growing inside with complicated and negative thoughts disappearing. You can try practicing this exercise for about one minute and then gradually increasing to about five minutes or more. So if you feel anxious or frantic before something important that you have to do, this is a great exercise to try to bring your mind back into your body and calm your nervous thoughts and come back into the present moment. So did you try the exercise? How did it go for you? If you tried it, please let me know in the comments below. See you in another video. Bye.
