That is nonsense. Like saying you can make your heart stop beating.

It's really easy to make your heart stop beating. Getting it to start again is the real trick.

With enough practice I believe making your heart stop would be possible. You'd start by meditating to slow it down, and then just do that more until you die

Okay? I don't know what to tell you. I don't have a response when they tap my knee. I did when I was a kid, but I didn't like that it was out of my control. Like I said, I -think- that's what is happening, but I don't know. Thanks for being an ass though.

Sorry for "punching you in the face" like that, perhaps a bit too direct.

It's all good. it's not like I'm -trying- to sound edgy or anything.
