The power of looking up with arms upraised

[OccamzRazer]

There seems to be some sort of spiritual power involved in raising up one's hands and looking up to the heavens:

"So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side, one on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword."

- Exodus 17

This same type of gesture also results from positive emotions: athletes use it to celebrate when they win their events/races.

Dr. Peat has spoken time and time again about how energy and structure are related. Most of the focus goes towards using energy to optimize structure...and rightfully so. But this may be a way that structure can optimize energy!

Raising up your hands, looking towards the heavens, and thanking God for XYZ feels deeply restorative, and I believe it has pro-metabolic effects.

Interesting. And if some of the earth-charge ideas are right, your upraised arms might act like an antenna, increasing your charge field.

Goku, when asking for energy to earth and his friends for the spirit bomb, does the exact same pose... DBZ creators took some inspiration from eastern tradition so there could be very well be some connection to this idea!
