What sort of effects? This is the first i've heard of a watch battery
connection to bodily electrical problems. Saying this tho, i'm willing to
try an experiment with myself.
I sometimes wonder about the effects of the electrical fields i work with
all day around the servers and workstation computers, under floruescent
lights in a sealed building...
Anyway, thank you for your response.

Well, the effects they noted were specifically:
1) explosive power (measured using those punching bag things that
register the force of a punch) dropped
2) coordination and balance (measured using balance beam tests, various
speed-jumping tests, closed-eye balance test, etc) dropped
3) problem-solving ability (measured using time to complete jigsaw and
crossword puzzles and logic problems) dropped
4) flexibility (measured using "reach tests" while stretching) dropped -
though I don't remember if these results came out to be statistically
significant.
The guy did these tests using both kinds of watches (battery and
wind-up) with nearly identical appearance, so the test subjects didn't
know what kind of watch they were wearing. Both groups also were tested
while not wearing watches to get a baseline.
The reason you haven't heard about it is that this guy isn't a
physiologist or a neurologist - he's a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He got
the idea for these tests when he accidentally forgot to take his watch
off before sparring with a buddy, and the guy told him he was "hitting
like a wimp." When they took a break, he noticed the watch and took it
off. Still unsuspecting, he went back out for another round of sparring
and his buddy was like "Whoa! What got into you?" Then he noticed the
connection. His subsequent research was quite well-done, but nobody in
the medical establishment was interested in hearing what he'd come up
with. Kinda that "filter" thing that M talked about, probably - it
didn't fit into their viewpoints, and he didn't fit their preconception
of a valid researcher.
The best way to test it is to try it out on some poor unsuspecting
friend who happens to be wearing a battery-powered wristwatch. Here's
the kind of thing my friend in Florida did to me:
1) Say, "Hey, stick your left arm out a second. I want to try
something." (Assuming the watch is on their left arm. This works best if
you know the person :-)
2) Tell 'em you want them to try to hold their arm up while you try to
push it down to their side.
3) Push their arm down a couple of times. If they're not significantly
stronger than you, it should go down without too much effort.
4) Have 'em take their watch off and shake their arm around a minute to
"get the circulation going".
5) After a minute or so, have 'em stick their arm out again. Don't
mention the watch.
6) Push their arm down a couple of times. It should be significantly
harder.
7) Now "notice" the watch and have them put it back on.
8) Push their arm down a couple of more times. It should be
significantly easier. Bells should be going off in their heads at this
point that something's going on.
I'm not really sure what the mechanism is whereby the watch's electrical
impulses interact with the body's, but something's sure going on. In any
event, the fact of the interaction was my point, with the implication
that anything that significantly affects the body's EM fields (like K,
perhaps?) could theoretically affect other electrical fields/devices in
the vicinity.

One of ten most common traits of NearDeathExperiencers in that watches don't
work for them. I am not sure if it is just battery operated or not.

Message-ID: <3468BF70.72B2ATnospamblarg.net>
I am unable to wear a battery opperated watch - used to though. Used to
have quite the array of watches, But a number of years ago my watches
started to stop. I changed the batteries, and they would stop within a
day. I changed the batteries, got new ones, even took them to be
repaired. It was the jeweler who told me that I may have what he called
reverse polarity(?) and that he had seen it before. I didn't ask and he
didn't offer any thing more on the subject other than to get myself a
wind type watch. Which I did but I never remembered to wind it! This
happened during a point in my life when absolutely nothing seemed to be
working - the beginning of my waking up? I don't have any idea what the
cause is, I certainly don't wish anyone to expierment on me to find out
the cause - and I rather like not owning a watch.
Slowing I just gave them all away. They worked just fine for their new
owners. Go figure.

Since this was sort of a "vision," not a concept, I don't fully
understand it myself. It isn't exactly creating more god, more how
god-stuff is multiply articulated in the universe. In human beings,
anyway, energy is released any time consciousness expands and, in all
life, growth leads to increasing complexity and reorganization on a
"higher" level. Maybe we are a kind of mitochondria in the cells of
god. Anyhow, I don't mean by "consciousness," human
self-consciousness, but rather the consciousness that imbues
materiality, as in, the universe is a "big thought." Holly

Mike,
Aw gee.... All my life wind-up watches gained five minutes a day for me.
So, I switched to battery-powered watches and they kept perfect time. Now,
you say that they are harmful. So what should I do? Find a little bitty
sun dial, strap it on my wrist, and go outside a lot?
BTW, my uncle had the same problem with wind-up watches. And a race car
driver I know can wear wind up watches with no problem until he's in
competition. Then his watch will gain twenty minutes in the course of a
sprint race.

Boy, that's odd. Just when you think you've got things figured out...
:-)
What I do is wear my watch on my belt. That keeps the battery and
whatnot separated from my body by an inch or so, which for me was enough
to eliminate the effects. That also keeps it easy to see and out of the
way.
So many times, when things (such as watches) have various effects on
people, the exceptions can be as prevalent as the rule. Experimentation
is the rule as far as I'm concerned. If they work fine for you, great!

Mike...what you described in this post is a sort of muscle test. A
standard muscle test requires one to test for resistance, then re-test
with various influences (the watch) in someone's energy field to see
if they are strengthened or weakened by the presence of the outside
influence.
I am a kinesiology practitioner and before I work with a client's subtle
energies I was trained to have them remove all metal on their body...
including belts (metal buckles), tie clips, rings, necklaces, earrings,
and so on. The reason for this is that the subtle paths of energy within
the body, called Meridians (as identified by the Chinese many many
years ago), run through varying parts of the body. Some flow
from fingertip to face, chest or head, others from toe to head, and yet
others from head to toe. So having metal across one or a number of
these paths can have an effect on the body's energy. When you think
of all the "devices" we carry today on our bodies...cell phones tucked
in pockets, beepers attached to belts, watches on our wrists it would
be hard to imagine them NOT interfering with the body's own energy.
So while I cannot give you the scientific reasons why and how these
battery operated devices affect the energy of the body, I can just tell
you from experience that they sure seem to. Particularly those that
cross a person's midline or center of their body. I have had clients
whose polarity was crossed from some sort of metal crossing their
midline. Once they removed the item, their polarity would return to
normal.

Mike, K energy does directly effect the electro magnetic body, and the
battery worn against the skin of an electrically powerful person (K, martial
arts) will be drained...apparantly the drain is being pulled into the arm
energy field, which would increase the acidity in the muscle, hence the "weak
arm" phenomenon and the K-fried wrist watches. I haven't been able to wear
one in years. Yes I'm a science geek, in medical research. hello to all!

Subject: Watches and Drums
Message-ID: <3468FE8F.1668ATnospamcamtech.net.au>
Hi list,
Recent posts have discussed the brain wave synchronization of healers
to the earth's magnetic field and the effect battery operated watches
have on the wearers.
I wear a Tesla watch which produces an electromagnetic field of 7.8 -
8.0 Hz to synchronize me with the earth 24 hours a day. It is also
battery operated. I suspect the negative effects of the latter are
avoided by the emission of the former. Perhaps those with a problem
with watches could invest in one of these.
I have been wearing this watch now for about 4 years. I have extreme
sensitivity to other people's illness and pain. Likewise this
sensitivity extends to what is happening to the earth. I hadn't really
thought about the connection with these things and the watch until now.
About 2 years ago I bought an Ilu drum made by a wonderful Nigerian
called Sam. He put a lot of love into the drum and it really shows.
Whenever I play the drum I channel music and messages which speaks about
the earth and what she is experiencing. The story each time I drum is
quite different and part of what I need to do is talk about the message
that comes through. I do earth healing drumming with groups of people
and invariably they experience the message through the music which is
then confirmed when I speak about it afterwards. These are really
powerful drumming sessions that connect all those in the group with the
earth. Reactions are very primal and very powerful.
Now that I think about it, perhaps my Tesla watch has tuned me in to
this ceremony with the drum??
Love, sue

XXXI
God has His seat everywhere,
His treasure stores are in all places.
Whatever a man's lot is,
God at the creation
Apportioned him his share once and for all.
What He has designed
The Lord forever watches.
O Nanak, His works are true,
As He Himself is the True.
Hail, all hail unto Him,
May your greetings go to the Primal Lord;
Pure, beginningless and changeless,
Constant from age to age.
XXXII
May my tongue become a hundred thousand,
May the hundred thousand be magnified twentyfold,
With each tongue many hundred thousands of times
I utter the Lord's Holy Name.
Thus may the soul take each step,
Mounting the stairs to the Bridegroom,
And become one with Him.
On hearing of celestial matters,
He who can only crawl also craves to fly.
By God's grace alone, says Nanak, is God to
be grasped;
All else is fraud, all else is empty.
XXXIII
You have no strength to speak or in silence listen,
To seek or to renounce;
You have no power to live or die,
You have no power to gain riches or dominion
and be vain,
You have no power to direct the mind to thought
or reason.
He who hath the power, He designs and watches;
O Nanak, before the Lord there is no high or
low rank.
XXXIV
God ushered the night and the day,
The days of the week and the months,
And He created the seasons;
He made winds blow and water flow,
He gave fire, He produced the nether regions;
Amidst all this he raised the earth as a temple,
Upon it He placed diverse creatures,
Varied in kind and hue,
Endless in number their names.
All these lives are reckoned by their acts.
God is True and in His Court Truth is dispensed;
Therein the elect are accepted by Him,
And by His grace and His compassion,
Esteemed in His presence.
In that Court the bad shall be sorted from
the good;
When we find His Court, O Nanak,
We discover this to be true.
XXXV
I have depicted the realm of Dharma,
Nor I shall depict the realm of Knowledge.
How many are the winds, the fires and waters,
How many the Krishnas and Shivas,
How many the Brahmas planning the worlds
Of many kinds and shapes and hues;
How many worlds like our own are there
Wherein acts generate consequences.
How many holy summits to be reached
With how many sages, like Narada, teacher
of Dhruva,
On top of them.
How many adepts, Buddhas and Yogis are there,
How many goddesses and how many images
of goddesses;
How many gods and demons and how many sages.
How many hidden jewels in how many oceans,
How many the springs of life,
How many the modes and varieties of speech;
How many the kings, rulers and guides of men;
How many devotees are there who cherish this
Divine Wisdom.
His votaries are innumberable, says Nanak.
XXXVI
As in the realm of Knowledge shines wisdom
And Music is heard from which myriad joys flow,
So in the reealm of spiritual search
Beauty is the presiding deity.
All things are shaped there peerlessly;
The beauty of the place defies description.
And whoever even tries to convey it
Will indeed later feel remorse;
Understanding, discrimination, the deepest wisdom
is distilled there.
There are gestated the gifts of sages and seers.
XXXVII
In the realm of Grace, spiritual might is supreme,
Nothing else suffices;
There reside bold warriors, valiant and strong,
In whom is the Spirit of the Lord,
And who by His favour are fused with Him.
Their beauty is beyond utterance,
In their hearts the Lord resides,
They are deathless and undeceived.
There abide also the congregations of the blessed;
In bliss they repose, with the True in their hearts.
In the realm of Truth
Resides the Formless One,
Who, having created, oversees His creation,
And where He watches over them with Grace;
And His creatures are joyous.
All continents, globes and universes
Are contained in this supreme realm;
Were one to try to render an account of all,
There would be no limit to the count.
World upon world is there, form upon form,
And all have their functions as ordained by
God's Will;
The Lord sees His Creation and seeing it,
He rejoices.
O Nanak, the telling tough, as iron is hard
to handle.
XXXVIII
In the forge of continence,
May patience be the goldsmith;
Upon the anvil of understanding,
May he strike with the hammer of knowledge;
May the fear of God be the bellows,
May austerities be the fire;
May the love of God serve as the crucible,
May the nectar of life melt in it.
Thus in the mint of Truth
A man can coin the Word;
This is the condoct of those
Upon whom God shows favour.
Nanak, our gracious Lord
With a glance gives joy.

Epilogue
Air, like the Word of the Guru, brings the
breath of life,
Water nurtures us, earth is our mother.
Day and night are the two nurses
Who watch over the world
And in whose bosom we frolic.
Upon good as well as bad deeds
Shall His Judgement be made;
As we have acted,
Some of us shall be close to God,
Some shall be far away.
Those that have mediated
Upon the Holy Name,
And have departed, their task consummated,
Their faces are those of shining ones and,
O Nanak
How many they lead to liberty in their train.
