I'm really not sure if this is a mental block or something, but I've noticed that it's significantly easier to stop an object than it is to move it. I noticed this while the wind was blowing quite strongly and spinning one of those rainbow wind mills. Without really thinking much about it, I pointed at it and had the thought of "silence"/stop. It stopped almost immediately. Keep in mind the wind was still blowing fulltime. I thought it was mostly just a fluke because I'd never be able to move something that big without concentrating on it for a while...but without fail, I can stop some pretty huge objects from moving.
Yet 1 more clue on the nature of PK. Maybe I'm just weak right now, but I think it's very interesting that it's easier to decelerate than it is to accelerate objects.
EDIT: I also want to add that it's very odd to me that my range is simply ridiculous when I'm stopping objects. I find it a bit harder to move things that are further than 2-3 meters away from me (that's probably just a mental block), but the spinning wind objects were about 30+ feet away. -- Edited by pewep on Wednesday 19th of December 2012 11:39:10 AM

Yes, this is true for me as well. The retropsychokinesis tests on fourmilab.ch are far easier to stop then get moving for me. The pendulum is a good example, I can get it to nearly stop and hang in place at the bottom almost every time, but getting it to move at it's maximum is much harder for me to accomplish. This is true for psiwheels and pinwheels for me too. So your not alone.
Ironically, I was just thinking about mental blocks being apart of the matter before coming here. So yeah, it may very well have something to do with it.

I think it all depends on how varied you keep your training for me Stasis field was discovered as a natural effect of training and came quite naturally when training with another psion.

There is no failure only feedback. Failure is when you stop trying.
Coming from a physics/chemistry background, maybe its got to do with the 'activation energy' of the 'system'? With reactions, to get them started you must first overcome the systems inertia before they react, this is known as the activation energy, which can require quite abit of energy for some reactions, but once started they are easier to sustain or stop if you wished, sort of like pushing a ball up a hill to get it rolling down the side of the hill.
On the other hand, with coherence (altered states of mind), there shouldn't be much of a difference. A coherent object should be able to tunnel through the energy barrier without needing an activation energy.
By coherent object I mean an object within a field of focused consciousness so that consciousness is entangled to the object (consciousness resonating with the characteristic frequencies of the object). In other words, an object that is being affected by psychokinesis.

Ah i see your point. But getting to that point and holding it seems to be the difficult part. Im assuming that the strength of the field is directly proportional to the depth of your state of mind? I for one, can put out a candle flame, but I have never been able to light it back up. Then again, it could be the scientist in me creating blocks in my mind by telling me I just dont have the focus to be able to produce enough energy to start a fire with my mind.
@electroshock0987: Haven't been able to light it up either .. yet. But there shall be a time when it's become a cinch for us.
For some reason, for me pk seems to have been more successful with the body asleep. Father's theory is that by default, the body emits quite a lot of noise (low coherency), which makes it difficult to maintain a deep enough focus in the awake state.
