so hey I'm new here. here's my youtube channel for some of my pk recordings.

but I kind of felt some stress so I quit for a while, and then I got weaker, it reminds me of physical training, you get buffed up and if you quit working out then you just get weak again, but it's also like riding a bike, you never forget after you learn. Now I just practice with ultra light weight paper like tracing paper, it's a lot easier, in my opinion the mass of the object does matter, I seem to have to exert more energy to move heavier and larger things. What do you guys think? because I've heard other opinions that the mass doesn't matter.
My personal thought is that mass that small doesn't matter, but the friction does. Tracing paper should have a little less friction toward the thumbtack or pushpin or whatever it is you're balancing it on.
On the other hand, when you're trying to move let's say a book laying on the table. I think you'd have to exert more energy to move it. I'm only basing that thought on physics that says it takes more energy to begin moving an object than it does to keep it in motion, and surface area (the less, the easier it is to move an object). That book has an awful lot of surface area on that table. Try moving it just with your hand across the table, it takes significantly more energy than if you tilted it at 45 degrees and dragged that little edge across the table. It's going to take a lot more energy to get it started than to keep it going. Sorry to get a little off topic. If you want to try a little exercise: Spin the psiwheel with your finger carefully, then try to keep it going without touching it. Once it stops, try spinning it again with your finger, then try to stop it without touching it (this time you're working with friction..I THINK it would make sense that it would be easier to stop it than to keep it going).

It sounds as though you are becoming polarized. To yin or to yang and you will encounter resistance. Try to stay centered remember your jar experiments? These are good examples of intention it is not necessary to force the object you can transcend the muscular thought approach settle your attention on the object make clear your intention connect entrain your energy to the space around it and the object. come back to your center keep your attention on object and space around remain centered in the gap mindset. An attitude of gratitude and fun goes a long way to connect with your intended area.
You do not need to force remember you are the area you are the object you are the intention you are in the gap but there is no gap between you. Relax this is and can be fun if done correctly

I think it's just a belief, practice, and confidence thing.
The most massive object I've seen moved was a 5lb dumbbell that was balanced on end and tipped over. What is interesting is that same person (a close friend of mine) takes about as much effort to knock over a pen standing on its end. Both were tipping motions, so relatively low friction, but I don't believe mass makes a difference, it's only a belief thing.
I honestly don't think force has anything to do with it. With a heavier object, one automatically subconsciously thinks that it's harder to move, which makes it in fact harder to move.
