My first practice was with the heated spinning lamp things - its a lamp with a cylindrical shade on it that has slats cut in the top and turns at angles like a pinwheel. The sides have decorative images on them to throw shadows. When the light heats up, the shade will spin. If you let it sit and spin for hours it will only spin one direction if there is no air conditioning or wind. I would sit for hours and will the thing to stop, spin the other direction, spin faster, spin incrementally - one turn, stop, one turn, stop. It was after I had tried the classic 'psi wheel' exercise without much success.
Then I got the psi wheel to turn, and then to turn reliably one direction then the other, and then 90 degrees, turn under a glass bowl, and so on. I got a pendulum to swing, and sort of plateaued there. At the rate of progress, assuming there was no limit, I might have been PK'ing boxes into the air by the time I was 60.
I have tried on & off for years with out much success, yet I have always wondered what are people that have been successful with it concentrate on or think about when the object begins to move or while it's moving.
