Immovable Body

This feat is difficult to believe. You stand erect, arms at your sides, and have two people grasp your forearms, one person on each side. On the count of three, they try to lift you. They do it easily. Then, you have them try it again. This time, they cannot lift you.

To perform this feat:

Stand erect with your feet side by side, your arms at your sides.
Have one person stand on each side of you. Have them hold onto your forearms with both hands. Caution: Make sure hold below the elbow.
Tense the muscles in your arms, think up, and, on the count of three, have the persons lift you straight up. They should do it easily.
Now do the lift again, but this time, relax your entire body. Feel like you are slowly sliding into the floor. Shake your hands a little before the persons grab you. Feel as though your arms are extending deep into the earth - sort of an unbendable arm in a downward direction. Think down and, on the count of three, have the persons try to lift you again. With practice, you will become impossible to lift.

Tips:

Do not worry if this feat does not work the first few times.
The people doing the lifting should bend their knees and lift straight up, toward your shoulders.
Relax. Keep your eyes forward. Expect that you will succeed.

Another Immovable Body

To perform this feat:

Stand erect with your feet side by side, your arms at your sides, bend arms so forearms are vertical (hands upward, elbows at side).
Have person stand in front and try to pick you up by placing a hand under each elbow and lifting upward.

Tips:

If upper arms are kept vertical with elbows under the shoulders and you stiffen, the lift will work.
If elbows are moved slightly forward of the shoulders and you relax, the lift will not work.
