Japanese Yoga for the mind

I'm reading H.E. Davey's Japanese Yoga, using his experiments to understand that the mind controls the body, while the body acts as a reflection of the mind. Test it out for yourself.

Hold your two hands in front of you a hands-width apart. Now attempt to move your hands together using only the force of your concentration. Either mentally imagine your hands coming together or imagine they already are together. Or command that your hands come together. It may take you 5 or 15 minutes or longer.

After that, try using your mind only to change the direction of a spinning pendulum or for the Matrix fans to bend a spoon. Remember there's nothing super natural going on, you are merely unifying your mind-body connection using natural ki.
