I cant seem 2 move a psi wheel i only moved it once but it was barley noticed when i did i need expert tips i watch vids of every sort but none seem 2 help wat should i think of when relaxing
Good question... "what should you think when relaxing"
To start, let me tell you that you got the wrong guy if you think you've got an expert here, cause I actually discovered what I can do still very recently. So, all I can do is tell you what I know and do in order to see if that's of any help to you.
Others cannot make one learn, but they can give a help, so let's see if I can give you one.
So, about what to think...
I, myself, don't think of anything.
And whenever I have a thought I stop having it.
It is possible to move the object in the pin while simultaneously having thoughts, but I found out that when starting out I found out that the more thoughts I had the more difficult it would get, cause you need to be fully submersed into what you're doing.
I used to imitate a stone and certain aspects of it...
Might not seem like much, but being a stone is a lot harder than it looks.
A stone doesn't move, act or react to anything at all, and it definitely doesn't think, neither does it care about being a stone in the first place... all the stone does all the time, is be there, for the simple purpose of being... totally detached from everything... like nothing.
Maybe that's why people always say that one should start by concentrating in the one single intention of the object moving and nothing more.
So, personally I prefer the no thinking approach.
I also used to watch videos in order to learn, but it turns out that they are much better to acquire knowledge than they are to learn.
The word "learn" was created to express the act of "withdrawing and expanding whatever is already inside of someone, and increase that" instead of "cramming more and more into someone, hoping that it's accepted and assimilated"... people have just distorted the meaning throughout the time.
That's where the saying "you can teach a person how to ride a bike, but the learning has to be done by themselves" comes from.
And I found out that I get much better results when learning from studying, experimenting, and exploring my own reactions, emotions, feelings, etc. than I get from watching videos, reading books, forums like this one, and other stuff.
But I still use videos, books, etc in order to find new creative ideas and methods from time to time.
So, I started by listening to what everyone else had to say and learned it, but without results, then I started to look inside of me, listened and studied myself and BAM. It happened... one moment I couldn't do anything at all and in the next I was moving stuff around.
Like riding a bike...
I assume you also had a bike like mostly everyone else... now, those were important teachings that you can also apply in this situation right now.
Remember the frustration you went through as you struggled to learn how to ride your first bicycle. All your friends riding it, while all you were doing is climbing on the bike and immediately falling off. You made mistake after mistake. Then suddenly, you stopped falling off, you began to peddle, the bike begins rolling, and then suddenly, a whole new world opens to you.
That's how mistakes should be used... as guides to where you should be going.
They are not there to stop you... they will only stop you if you hand over that power to them or someone else.
Of course I'm over simplifying here, and there are more details... but it's not that complex either, you'll get there in time... get these basics down first.
Personally it was much harder for me to get a driver's license than it was to learn this.
Anyway, maybe taking a broad look at the process I went through might help you achieve your goal.
But you probably still have your problem, so... I'm gonna assume that you have the relaxation and thinking part fully covered and I'm gonna tell you what I would do next If I were you.
My next step would be to develop the intention of movement... in other words... see it as already done.
At the present time, even thought I spend time carefully analyzing what happened after every experiment, when I'm doing something in that moment I don't care one bit about how it's done or even if it's done at all, and if wants to move that way, I let it go, if it wants to move the other, even better, I just let it go... it's a learning process until you get the hang of it.
It is to notice that currently when I want to make repetitive or continuous movements, I don't have to do that much effort anymore, so I basically interfere only when I want something to change the current state, like increase/decrease speed, change direction, etc.
So, while doing that, everything feels like an absolute emptiness, without myself, without the object, and definitely without distractions like the ones caused by thoughts.
And if you want to continue developing yourself, there are more things to do beyond this point, but get these basics down first.
Also, in your post you also said that you "cant seem 2 move" and "barley noticed", so here's a tip that you might want to try:
If I was in your shoes right now, the next time I tried to move the object I would drop those thoughts about the previous attempts and the thought of expecting HUGE results, even if that was what I wanted the most, and instead I would just concentrate in what I wanted to do at that particular time.
If you need a justification for that, then I'll say that if the though in my mind was of the object not moving and how unsurprised I was, then, I know (by previous testing) that my mind would use any means available to attain just that, which would be the opposite of what I really wanted in the first place.
So, if you want to use a tool (in this case yourself) to do something, you will have a better chance of success if you figure out how to use it.
Don't take things for granted, not even what I wrote here, but definitely give it a try, cause there's a chance that it might help.
I was reading your post Yourself, and I thought of something interesting...
When you say it's like riding a bike: Sure eventually you learn after falling down a couple of times... but that's it. Your body/mind is a huge coward, it will remember something it doesn't like and tries it's hardest to avoid it i.e. you touch a hot stove, you get burned pyschically and mentally yo learn not to touch the stove... however, if all the times you touched the stove was cool/cold, you would never learn "not to touch the stove". I think it's hard for some people (me included) to learn without consequence... "Ah, I didn't move the wheel, oh well. I'll try again later." as opposed to: "OH MY GOD! I didn't move the wheel, i'm going to lose my eyesight for 30 min. (or whatever~)
Sure everyone's body/mind is in a way kinda like a huge coward that only learns if it has consequences...
But I would rather call it a "natural ability to adapt to anything".
The best part about that ability is that it can be used for one's advantage.
Kinda like a game where I'm constantly outsmarting myself by finding out how my body/mind works and reacts to some event and taking advantage of those characteristics to make sure that something I want does happen.
As a kid I had a learning based in fear like that too... in fact, I also burned my right hand very badly in a hot stove when I was 5 or 6 years old.
But now it's much more fun to learn by desire.
And sometimes, even desire is not enough... I had times and situations where I couldn't get past some newly found great obstacle and I noticed that sometimes things don't come in response to a desire, instead they come in response to a need...
And if that need doesn't exist, what do I do? ... Well, I create it.
That's why I said: "You're in control".
After a while a person starts to become aware of who they really are and the fear based learning becomes a desire based learning instead.
And that's where the real fun of learning begins...
