The therapeutic effect was immediate. Some participants even asked for a second broken item to \u2018get more clarity.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One subject reported reaching \u201cpeak enlightenment\u201d after staring at a washing machine for eight minutes straight while gently tapping it with a spoon.
