Telekinesis
Telekinesis is essentially the ability to move an object on the physical plane using only psychic power. While some people think that it is an occult practice, this is not strictly so. I can only give my perspective, but I believe that we are all born with this skill. It is inherent, like walking, talking, breathing. We simply neglect it from day one.
A common theory is that TK works by energy fields (magnetic or electric) or by "waves" of psychic energy which are actually dense enough to push/repel an object or draw it inward.
Most people's only encounter with TK is accidental- something mysteriously falls over or objects fly around a room, a phenomena often mistaken for a poltergeist when it may actually be a person with spontaneous telekinetic powers.
Anyone can harness their power and use it with the proper devotion.
Telekinesis is thought of as this really amazing "talent" that only a few people have. Quite the contrary, I believe that telekinesis is something we all inherently have. We simply do not use it. In fact, in general, we all have psychic abilities. Let me explain.
Every living person has a brain. Obviously. To say anything otherwise would be preposterous. However, we don't use the entire brain, we don't even use the better fraction of it. We also each use different parts more than others. Some people enjoy art, some enjoy math and numbers, logic, sports, writing, dancing, collecting... all of these activities use a different part of the brain. This is like psychic ability. We all use some of our total psychic potential, but far from all of it. Some of us just "know" when something it going to happen, or can predict an outcome better than most people, or get a "sense" of whether a person you just met is of a good or bad character. All of these are uses of the psychic power.
Just like the brain, we can also exercise the parts that lay unused. An artist can learn algebra if they really put their nose to the grindstone. Just the same, you can learn telekinesis with proper training and expanding of your natural psychic abilities.
The only thing that holds you back is not believing in yourself. Just like the child who says, "I can't do math, it's impossible", the person who says "I can't use telekinesis, I just don't have the ability" is holding themself back. They say that you're your worst critic. Well, stop it! Believe in yourself and the abilities will follow.
I get letters like "I've tried and tried at TK but I still can't do it!" all the time. The reason is always the same. A person seems to think that trying for a week is a "long time". Forget that. Telekinesis is worth the wait, but what a wait it is. The very skilled get it in 2 weeks. A greater faction of us doesn't get there for months, maybe years. I have developed this list to help you get on the right path towards telekinesis. KEEP TRYING!
Meditate daily for half an hour, fifteen minutes if you're schedule is too busy.
Attempt TK at least once a day, twice if possible. Give yourself a good 30-60 minutes to try it.
Focus on one method for at least a week, if it shows no results, switch methods.
Be at ease; instead of taking it too seriously think of it as an experiment, a game. If you try too hard you'll just end up frustrating yourself and you'll get nowhere.
Don't give up.
Don't tell yourself you can't do it, because you can.
BELIEVE!!!!
There are certain things you need to work on before you can get anywhere with telekinesis. Here I will discuss the obstacles you must overcome and the exercises you must practice.
1. Doubt
TELEKINESIS IS REAL. People have done it, people do it all the time. It is a gift all humans hold. Get that through your head before going any further. Doubt is like a wall between you and TK. So climb over the wall and leave it far behind you. You do not need doubt in your search for truth, especially not when it comes to the powers of the mind.
2. Logic
Okay, you live in a practical world, it's only natural to try to reason things. Don't bother. Set practicality aside, and when you achieve TK, you will then see how silly the concept of logic is altogether. It will all make sense when you get there.
3. Purity of the Heart
Why do you want to learn TK? You reasons must be positive and your intent must be pure. If you wish to learn it to harm people, to profit off a strange talent, or just to impress your friends, forget about it. Learn it to exercise the mind, learn it to challenge your reality. Don't try it for some kind of cheap glory. If that's your intent, you'll get nowhere.
4. Meditation
YOU MUST MEDITATE. Consider this a requirement. Take it one step at a time. Meditation is key in order to prepare the mind for telekinesis.
Meditate for half an hour.
Find a spoon or fork.
Hold utensil in your hands.
Sit in a quiet space, breath deeply, and relax yourself. Escape mentally from all thoughts and sounds.
With your eyes shut, rub your fingertips lightly over the surface of the spoon's handle.
Feel the surface without necessarily thinking about it. Become a "part" of it, the atoms of the metal mixing with the atoms of your fingers and the air so that they flow together as thought they are water. Imagine it melting into liquid.
This may take a few attempts. You will begin to actual feel the energy and the warmth on the metal.
At the moment you feel the momentum of the energy, bend it! Don't put physical force on it- you're not testing your ability to bend a spoon with your hands. You already know you can do that. It's your mind we're testing.
Choose a small, lightweight object, preferably made of a light metal, such as a cheap ring.
Clear your mind completely. You should have NO distractions whatsoever, and try not to let erroneous thoughts into your mind, or you will lose your focus. Concentration is vital.
Build a "tunnel" between you and the object. Visualize this tunnel between yourself and the object. You only see the object. Everything else is outside of the tunnel, and thus, outside of your view.
Now, imagine your mind's hands coming out and pulling the object in. Once you feel the pull, you might want to make sounds in your head that suggest a strong magnetic field (nnnn.... nnn.... nnnn.... ) It may sound silly, but it works!
Don't expect this to work the first time you try it. It might, but there is also a chance it will not. Try, try again! If you cannot devote your time and patience to this, don't bother trying it at all.
Meditate for half an hour.
Light a candle in a safe place. A white candle on a white/light colored table is best.
Get comfortable and breathe deeply.
Stare at the candle's flame. Do not think about anything, clear the mind but keep the flame in front of you. Soon you should see only the flame. Not the table, not the candle, not the room and objects surrounding you, just the flame.
Now imagine the flame is stretching upward, growing taller, brighter. You can put your hand above it and imagine you are drawing the flame upward. Imagine the flame shrinks, becomes smaller and shorter. Imagine it flickers and dances. Imagine it bends. Practice these things until you feel you are "one" with the flame, and it is doing as you desire it to.
Keep practicing this, once you are comfortable with your ability to do this, try putting the candle out with your mind. Could you light it up again with just your mind? Hmm... anything is possible!
Take a metal thumbtack (the kind with a flat, circular base) and set it so that the sharp end is pointing upward. Now take a small square of white paper, about 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch (maybe even smaller), and carefully balance it on top of the tack. You can replace the bit of paper with a piece of carefully cut aluminum foil if you feel more comfortable with metallic energies.
Meditate for half an hour.
Now sit in front of the "psi-wheel" you have just created. Stare on one corner of the square of paper. Focus all your energy on that one corner, willing the paper to start turning on top of the point. Imagine the wheel (the paper) begins to spin on the axis (the tack). Hold your concentration for as long as it takes for you to get it spinning.
Once you have the hang of this, try knocking the paper off the tack!
Meditate for half an hour.
Fill a clear glass bowl with fresh water. Drop a toothpick or other small wooden object into the middle of the dish. Since there will be no friction between the water and the object, it will be easily to move it because there is less resistance.
Get comfortable and breathe deeply.
Look at the toothpick. Imagine your mind's "hand" coming out and pushing on the object, and imagine it gliding across the water to the other side of the dish. Feel the energy pushing on it. You should begin to notice some movement after a while. You can use your hands to direct your energy, but don't touch or blow on the toothpick.
Once you have practiced this and you believe you have gotten the hang of it, take it one step further. Imagine that you are pushing down on the object, forcing it to go under the surface of the water. This will take more concentration, but the results are also more significant.
Meditate for half an hour.
Cut a piece of thread about 10 inches long. Tie a wide object to it, like a needle, a toothpick, or a short piece of a wooden rod. Hang the string so that you can sit comfortably in front of the hanging object.
Sit far enough away from the string so that you know you aren't making the object spin with your breathing. Let the object come to a complete stop, not turning at all in midair.
Take a deep breath.
Focus all your attention on one side of the object, right or left, it doesn't matter which. Imagine the object slowly turning as if your mind was really pushing against that side of it. You can use your fingers to "point" your energy, but do not touch the object.
Once it starts to turn, and who knows how long it will take you to get this far, imagine that your energy pushes it faster so it speeds up. It should turn with greater momentum.
Practice this. Once you get the hang of it, keep using this method to get the object to swing instead of just spin. Good luck!
The following is a document which has been circulated quite broadly around the Internet and it is basically a reference point for anyone talking about TK on the web. I don't know why, it just is. Thanks, Koda! This technique is ambitious, but gives some good tips.
A lot of people reading about the Psychic Window Technique have asked me for information on telekinesis (moving objects with the mind). Since I have some experience in this area, I thought I would tell you what I know.
The most important thing to understand is that it is possible. Telekinesis is part of physical reality, just as telepathy is. The next most important knowledge related to achieving success with this, or any other human ability, is realizing that if one person can do it, any normal person can do it, and that means you.
There is a prerequisite to achieving success in this endeavor, and that is having the ability to relax completely and focus your attention without distraction. In itself, concentration is one of the easiest activities one can possibly perform. It is simply being aware of one thing without distraction, and happens to an intense degree while watching the exciting scenes of any motion picture, for example. In actual practice it can be nearly impossible to maintain concentration for any length of time due to the subconscious concerns of day to day living. If you are going to practice the techniques described below, it would be to your advantage to perform relaxation exercises prior to beginning. After you have achieved success a few times the necessary focus can be reached quite easily.
I think of telekinesis as manipulating a sort of human "magnetic field" around the body which can be concentrated in a specific area. (It is probably possible to move objects at a greater distance but I have no experience in doing so.) By concentrating this "magnetic-like" energy in the fingers of one hand, I have been able to cause a metal spoon balanced on the edge of a water glass to begin rocking back and forth till it falls off the glass. I did this ten times a day just to stay in practice for a period of two months about ten years ago (and caused a lot of jaws to drop in restaurants in the process :). Since then I have been too preoccupied with day to day life to really focus my attention properly, and it has been hard to find a combination of a glass and spoon which would balance properly, so I more or less gave up on pursuing such a "useless" novelty. Lately my interest has been growing again so I might start looking for a suitable object to resume my practice, but all you really need to know is that it can be done, and ordinary people like you can do it.
Using the analogy of magnetism is a good way to focus your attention. You need to imagine a magnetic-like field around your hand, and push your hand (or finger tips) into the "magnetic field" of the object you want to move. (Such a field surrounds every object on Earth.) When one magnetic field interacts with another it will either push or pull against the other depending on the two magnetic field polarities. Opposite fields attract, similar fields repel. By concentrating on the belief that the field around my finger tips was very strong, I could momentarily place my finger tips near the end of the spoon handle and imagine it pushing against the magnetic field of the spoon, causing the spoon handle to move downward slightly. I would move my finger tips away to the side to let the spoon handle move back upwards, then repeat the process by moving my finger tips over the handle once more. This repeated movement of my finger tips to the side then back over the handle slowly caused the spoon to rock more and more till it would fall off the glass.
You have to be careful not to move your hand up and down, at least in the beginning, because the "wind" generated by the movement of your hand could cause the spoon to move. You must also be careful to note and breezes in the room from heating or air conditioning, since your hand might block the breeze off and on and cause the spoon to move accordingly. If you rest your elbow on the table while doing this, be sure the table is VERY solidly positioned or you may accidentally cause the table to rock slightly in a rhythmic way, which can also cause the spoon to move.
The very first time I achieved this it took five hours of relentless effort before I was sure I was actually doing it and that none of these variables had been the cause. I thought I had succeeded after about two hours, but continued the exercise because I wanted to be absolutely certain I had succeeded in developing the ability. It should not take you as long because I had no evidence at the time that it was really possible, and no technique to work with that was known to produce results. After that first time I could get it to work in less than five minutes, and later could do it without major effort, knocking the spoon off in less than a minute.
The WHAT you do here is obviously not nearly as important as how you think while doing it. Psychic phenomena happens at a non-verbal level of awareness. Your conscious thoughts only help focus your attention. They don't do any of the "work" involved. While imagining my finger tips pushing out "strong magnetic fields" I would mentally think, "uuunnnnnnnn, uuunnnnnnn" each time I placed my fingers over the spoon handle. But even then I did not put my attention on the "word" I was "thinking." I actually tried to make the intensity of the "magnetic field" drown out the word. When you do that properly the "uuunnnnnn" actually goes away and instead you can feel the magnetic field in your finger tips. If your attention is on the thoughts you think you will not be able to maintain any consistent results. Your thoughts direct your intent to the subconscious, which then does what you HONESTLY EXPECT it to do. As far as I know this is true in every type of psychic phenomena. It's not what you think, but what you expect. Once you have achieved certainty that you have the ability to do this, it is far easier to expect the results you want, and less effort is required to achieve those results.
There is another preliminary exercise you can do in the beginning to help focus your attention. If you hold your hands together palm to palm (as in prayer) but space them ever so slightly apart so they nearly touch, but don't, you can feel the heat given off by each hand. It is a very subtle sensation but you can indeed feel it. If you then "imagine" that what you are feeling is actually the magnetic-like field emanating from each hand, by moving your hands a bit closer together you can feel the fields pushing against each other. When you move your hands apart slightly, you can feel the pull of the fields.
I believe these fields actually exist, and that the subconscious is aware of them. By concentrating your attention on your perception I believe you are simply tuning into subconscious awareness. This isn't all that unusual, since right now your subconscious is aware of whether you are breathing in or out, and if you are leaning forward or to one side slightly, etc. As soon as you think about it you become consciously aware of subconscious awareness that was always just below the surface. I am simply pointing out that psychic phenomena is a subconscious process all of us experience constantly. We just have to know what to look for and the awareness becomes instantly available.
