Along the same lines of the discussion below: I have been involved off
and on in martial arts for a number of years and have seen this phenomenon
at work. Basically, a highly-developed practitioner would, through mental
force, make himself too heavy to move. I have witnessed this first-hand
and, indeed the person was as solidly rooted to the ground as a mack truck
- 4 strong men couldn't move him.
I personally believe that this phenonmenon is linked to subtle changes in
the overal vibratory state of the organism.
Just my two cents...
