(which is totally in line with Hypnobabies!)

I laid on my back and raised my arm in the air. He asked me to push/put resistance against his hand as he pushed it.

We did a “test” for strength to determine “normal” resistance.

The second time he asked me to think of something absolutely negative. (I thought about the argument my husband and I had got into that day which had really affected me.)
My resistance was so poor he easily pushed my hand aside.

The third time he asked me to think of something beautiful and positive. He gave me a moment to collect my thoughts and when he pushed against my hand, I had quite a bit of strength to it, even past the normal stage.

While, granted, this is simple demonstration. I was personally in awe at just how negatively even the thought of the previous argument had affected me!
