Although not quite the psychic power people usually hear about, superhuman strength is something I feel can be attributed to the psychic abilities. From time to time you hear tales about people lifting cars to save someone from being crushed. This is usually the most common story heard and in time it almost starts to sound like an urban legend.

Lifting a tractor

   One such example happened in 1965 when a Mrs. Cedric Larson of Minnesota had returned home after spending 27 days in a hospital recovering from a back injury. She was sitting in her car when she saw her husband and his tractor roll over. His body was crushed beneath the tractor's fender and his foot was stuck in the steering wheel but he was still conscious and in a terrible amount of pain. Mrs. Larson grabbed the tractor and lifted it so her husband could free himself. She then untangled his leg from the steering wheel and dragged him away. A Mrs. Ruben Ronstad was there to witness the whole thing and a local lumberman went later to upright the overturned tractor. He couldn't move it an inch!

Lifting the pyramids

   Feats of superhuman strength like this are relatively common. I believe these powers to be similiar to levitation. It all has to do with mind-over-matter. In times of superhuman strength your mind is not thinking about the size and weight of an object but the well-being of the person trapped beneath. This could even be the same forgotten technique used to lift the giant blocks for the pyramids of Egypt and the other gigantic structures around the world. I strongly believe it is.

A matter of matter

   I personally think there's not much difference between superhuman strength and levitation. The powers used would be the same but one requires a hands-on approach. I could go on and compare it to telekinesis but I think you understand where I'm going. It is all a matter of matter - the physical world can be bent and controlled by our thoughts once we learn to use them properly. Once one learns to tap into certain psychic powers, others may be easier to achieve. If you're strong in one way you might be able to achieve superhuman strength yourself. Just remember your mind is stronger than your body and you'll be able to do anything.
