Spoon bending is easy...

Over the years, so many people have asked me how to bend spoons that I decided to write a short article about it.

My spoon-bending career started on a weekend seminar about becoming more connected with intuition. Most of the participants were business people and farmers, there to learn to make better decisions about their work. I went because of the spoon bending... I wanted very badly to learn how to do this, something I had heard so much about.

Everybody else seemed to catch on quickly but my spoon remained quite straight. The second day, most of the others had left their bent spoons at home, but I was still playing with mine, desperately wanting it to bend. No luck! Finally at the end of the day, the instructor asked if there were any more questions. As I sat there quietly with my very straight spoon in hand, I realized that the class was over, it just wasn't going to work, and I could stop trying. I let go of all hope of ever bending a spoon. It was at that moment that wooops! the spoon started to bend. It bent so easily that I couldn't believe that I had been struggling with it all weekend!

I realized that the reason I was the last one to bend the spoon was that I had such high expectations, that I wanted to control the outcome. I needed so much to bend that spoon that I was stuck in that state of desperate wanting. The others on the course didn't care about bending the spoon at all; they had no expectations. That's why it was so easy for them.

Two years ago, I gave a short course to teach people how to see auras, how to do muscle testing, how to perform basic Emotional Freedom technique, and yes... how to bend spoons. The goal was to show how much more there really is in this world, well beyond what our eyes can see or what we have been taught. Half the participants succeeded in bending their spoons, and a few others called me excitedly in the weeks that followed to say that they too had ravaged the silverware.

Part of an athlete's training is to visualize themselves as winners. They see themselves winning, they feel themselves winning, and they align their energy, vibrations, and concentration to that end. Learning how to bend spoons is the same process.

First, we know that love is all that is: when you love or are loved, your energy expands. I can see and feel auras, and when someone opens up their heart, their energy and aura expand significantly. You don't need to be in love with another person to feel it. You can just stand where you are and admire something, or look out the window and observe a tree or a flower, or perhaps a plant or a painting in your house; feel grateful for it. At the same time, observe your heart; you will feel it expand, light, lose, and relaxed. That is the state of mind that will help you bend your spoon.

Second, we need the stop believing that stainless steel, the material of which most kitchen spoons are made, is a solid. OK, yes, it is solid, and again no, it is not. Think about it this way for a moment. The stainless steel, or any other hard material your spoon can be made of, is composed of molecules. Molecules are made of atoms, and atoms are made of electrons. If a spoon is made of electrons, and electrons are energy in motion, then there is no reason that the spoon is only solid.

Now you are ready. Sit quietly and open up your heart. Know that the spoon can be bent with ease, and just do it. You will know when you are there: the spoon will be malleable like plasticine... you still have to use your fingers to make it bend, but it will be very easy.

The most difficult part is to stop believing that it is difficult. That is when things happen!
