yes or no answers from flipping a coin

[Harmonium]

seeming to work out for me so far, I just phrase a yes or no question solidly in my head, flip it into the air let it land on the floor, heads = yes, tails = no

This seems to be working for me, or It could just be coincidence after coincidence.

Post your thoughts. I will update if my coin betrays me lol

I decided to give this a try too...my coin seems to ONLY be landing on heads, no matter what....oh well I also am not a great coin flipper

That's pretty cool that it's working for you

I toyed with I-Ching for a while, using a set of pennies as the book I have on the subject suggested. Maybe I should give it another go

You can also touch your thumb with your index in both hands. If the answer is yes, pressure the right fingers, if the answer is no, pressure the left fingers.

This works very well. I think your subconscious should be more sensitive to the answers than the physics of the coin.

That is awesome! Of course, I will use left for yes since that feels more natural since I am left handed. What is the name of that technique with the thumbs and index fingers?

It is called the use-your-fingers-to-answer-your-questions technique.

Ok, coin betrayed me.

LOL

ya, I'd take your own subconscious over the laws of physics I guess. I just originally just flipped the coin to decide whether or not to have some coffee. It's perfect for crap like that you can't decide on.

actually, turns out, the coin didn't betray me like I thought it did. I might do some more experimenting with it to see how accurate it is, It seemed to work best when only I knew about flipping it.

Hah! Yes!

The moment you talked about it, you connected a whole bunch of people to the energy of the coin, including energy of doubt, criticism and skepticism, which polluted the experiment.

The same happened to me with an egg experimentation. I took an egg and made it stand vertically on the table. I still don't understand why it stands. It's very hard to get up but once it's up, it can remain vertical for half an hour. Sometimes it will be vibrating circularly and still hold vertically. It means it's holding around an "invisible" axis which I have no explanation for. Also when I do it with other people, others seem to make it stand easier than I do! Well... I took a picture of the vertical egg and put it on Facebook. After that I haven't been able to do it again All these people connected to the energy of the egg and polluted the experiment. It takes someone with a very strong energy to do it in front of a crowd or skeptics.

I-Ching is reliable. The only thing, one needs some experience in working with it because its interpretation is not always easy. It is recommended to start learning it from someone who already knows it well. But of course, one can approach it playfully, get some experience, read something about it... But people who do it professionally take a huge responsibility on themselves, and they should really know what they are doing.

Otherwise, pendulum works wonderfully for me. Whenever I need a quick answer and my girlfriend isn't around, I ask the pendulum. It may even be a key on a piece of string. And if there is nothing better around even the car key but that is a bit clumsy .

I have only read about this experiment but never tried it. But before I got up this morning, my girlfriend told me that she needed me to go to the shop to buy some eggs. So, I may as well try it now .

I did it with half a pea pod once. It is kinda freaky.

[MysteryX]

It's easier than it seems. I took a picture after it was standing for half-an-hour... after listening to music, walking around and cooking. It was still there after.

So the question remains: what is the invisible axis in the middle? Now that I'm looking at it, I see energy making a bubble on each side similar to the magnetic field of a magnet.

Thanks for the feedback - I gave up on it precisely because it seemed so cryptic to me.
