psionics effecting how long you live

[shinigami]

dont know where to put this but it can be a big debate but do you think psi can effect how long you guys live?

[The Adfeng]

If you're saying if it can lengthen your life, I think not. Well, anything is possible, but I don't see how you would do it. Experiement, but I doubt it will come out some way. Maybe some advanced programming.

Well if you have a vision of you getting hit by a bus and stop that from happening then yes you could live longer.But making you live to a very old age is possible.

[shinigami]

well i also mean just by using it can it also shorten your life

[Mr.Experiment]

Psionics and MetaPhysics overall can either Lengthen or Shorten your lifespan.

You can use a technique that will shorten the ageing process, but you will die earlier as in.

Lets say youd live to be a 100, when you get to about your 60's on average your body will be much weaker then your 20's.
Now, you can use a technique, but you will now only live to lets say 75-80 but your body will be about the 20-30's.

Is that much of a lost? You 'loose' 20-25 years but you "live" more meaning you can do what you want to do throughout your whole life.
Everything has a price. Since you shorten your life you get a reward, such as the one I mentioned above. You can also have a Psionic Attack which shortens your life but either saves your life or another ones life. You can also lengthen your life, but like I said, everything has a price.

I don't think in general metaphysics or psionics, just energy work at all,just from doing it can lengthen or shorten.

But how can Psionics and psi itself do that? I would think that, if anything, psionics can increase your lifespan by acting as a way to release excess stress on your body.

[wintersheart]

yes but psi is energy and everything is energy it could be possible to lengthen your life by absorbing psi not to the point of an overload but to a point were you can handle it and feel it, no?

[xpwarrior3]

There isn't any evidence to suggest that Psi-energy itself lengthenS someone's life. There also isn't any evidence to suggest that psi-energy itself shortens someone's lifespan. There have been many, many people who have done psionics and none of them have reported that aspect as being a result of constant psi-practice. They aged normally. Chi/Qi on the other hand has been reported to lengthen someone's life, just by being an active Chi/Qi practitioner (through martial arts, tai chi, or something that elicits the use of that energy).

Ya, just like xpwarriror3 said, energy work, mainly meditation and visualization I think, used in many Eastern Martial Arts like Tai Chi greatly reduce stress which is known to increase your lifespan a fair amount. (Provided your not sick in some other way). With that in mind, I guess it's plausible to think that incorporation psi into that meditation, or just using psi also extends your life, but my best guess is that it has the same effect as meditation - stress reduction from calm focus that increases the lifespan. I'm no expert though, for all I know you can live forever using psi, although I tend to doubt it.

On a quick side note, I remember reading an artcile from Yahoo! news about someone developing some method of increasing the life span almost 10 fold (all while retaining young looks and health) by using some sort of enzyme that breaks down waste in the body that is one of the main causes of death. (Death is in dieing by 'old age'). He said something like this: he knew one of the major waste products that are accumulated in human cells that can not be broken down tends to glow in the dark, yet graveyards don't glow in the dark so there must be an enzyme that breaks it down. I'm not sure how well that statement sits with me, but I do wish I could find the link, it was very interesting to read.

I think there's a possible way, but I'll have to experiment more, and see if anything that I come up with will help lengthen lives. But, I'll probably have to experiment on myself, so it'll be a while, or maybe someone else. I don't know, it just has to turn out somehow. I'll let you know how it goes.
