1) What I really learned is that telekinesis is alive and well. I never thought that people really believe in I didn’t even know what it was until I saw it on corner gas when I was like 12 aha. But I also learned that a lot of people are full of themselves and just think they can do it, it will take a lot of proof for me to believe in it.

2) well I really can’t think of anything with telekinesis, I guess I always thought when I was little that I could use the force like star wars but I didn’t really believe in it. Honestly when Trevor and I picked it I though there was going to be nothing good on it but we found a lot of cool stuff. In reality I never really looked at it as real thing that people thought they could do. But overall it was cool to learn and it was interested to read about even though I am still a non believer

3) If I had to pick it would be looking at the websites. I mean telekinesis has a following and people could be making money off of it but I guess people actually just want to give tips for free and aren’t trying to scam people. I also found it interesting how meditation and looking at an object for hours is training for it. If I had any patience I would probably try it. I mean I don’t believe it but if I had time maybe I would see if it could maybe work.

4) Honestly just the community when it comes to telekinesis. I will never believe how many people follow it and I’m not mocking them I think its cool. But besides that I couldn’t really tell you anything else

The picture shown here seems to be a very old photo of someone trying to seem like he has telekinetic abilities. Again, telekinesis has never been proven so the picture almost certainly is fake. The chair is most likely attached to the wall somehow.

This picture shows what seems to be a man floating balls with his mind. The only thing is this picture is super easy to fake as he could have just tossed them quickly and taken the photo. Also levitating objects with your mind has never been proven.

A website finally my pace, this website is on the fence but will leave very good point if you are not sure about telekinesis. Now I am still a non believe, this website says that a lot of websites show tricks and don't ask for money. Good point but once again it could be most of the time someone who is full of themselves. It says that meditation is key, but to me there is no way. I can't wrap around my head that if you sit there and relax you can move stuff. Anyways I am against this website but it is still a good read for someone like me who can't really read to well.

Telekinesis is the ability to move or agitate objects through the power of the mind. The idea of telekinesis is far from being a modern one and although called by different names, it has been mentioned in some of the world's most ancient writings. So, is it possible to get telekinetic powers through meditation?

Is Telekinesis Real?

Many scientific studies have been conducted to try and recreate telekinetic activities in controlled circumstances and thereby prove its existence.

It is generally accepted within scientific communities that in order for telekinesis to exist, several established laws of physics would have to be violated. This however doesn't seem to prevent as many as a third of people questioned in studies, believing in the possibility of telekinesis, including some scientists.

Tests that measure telekinetic possibilities are incredibly stringent and as yet no conclusive scientific evidence has been accepted.

Whilst even the scientific community is divided on the possibility of telekinesis being possible, its greatest debunkers explain any reports of telekinesis as hoax, trickery, slight of hand or audience suggestibility.

Telekinesis Training

Despite the general skepticism in the fields of science, proponents of telekinesis abound. Living as we do in the computer age, it comes as no surprise to find that the Internet has hundreds of sites discussing telekinesis. Many of these sites claim they can help the reader learn telekinesis. Interestingly, many of these sites don't ask you to buy anything but just deliver the instructions.

The argument most commonly put forward is that we as humans only utilize a tiny portion of our brains suggesting that the unused parts are for use in activities we don't necessarily understand as yet, such as telekinesis, telepathy and so forth.

How to Meditate for Telekinesis

It is suggested that the only thing that stops all humans from becoming proficient in telekinesis is our own self-limiting beliefs. Most writing on the subject seems to suggest that our inherent abilities will not develop overnight but will take time and commitment.

In order to practice telekinesis you need to be in as relaxed or meditative state as possible. If you are not familiar with meditation it is suggested that you master this first. The process is then a simple one of visualizing over and over what it is you are trying to achieve. The advice is to start on small, light objects such as a feather, paper, a small pen or the flame of a candle. Visualizations need to be done daily and for as long as possible. From there it is seemingly just a matter of time and patience.

There are many things that man cannot explain that do happen and science isn't necessarily the answer to every enigma that life holds. This of itself has been illustrated over and over again. Telekinesis may not as yet have any concrete scientific evidence to prove its existence but many people nonetheless believe it is possible within the realms of human capabilities.

For many years of my life my major passions were all types of sport but particularly gymnastics. After finishing my own competitive career I became a coach, eventually converting an old industrial unit into a training facility to accommodate my 200 gymnasts. It was while coaching that I developed my interest in nutrition and how certain foods and herbs both fuel and heal the body. It was also during this time that I discovered surfing and became somewhat addicted even though I began in the handicapped position of some-one with a severe phobia of water. ... visit author page.

This photograph shows the bending of a spoon which telepaths believe they can do with just their minds. This theory has been disproven however and has no scientific backing.

This video goes through the concepts of what real telekinesis really is. They explain that gravity and magnetism is real telekinesis as the definition of telekinesis is ‘motion at a distance’ and technically they fall into this category. In humans however, these abilities aren’t possible. I enjoy how they implement real scientific theories to explain the subject and I agree with the video.

# data[].attributes.body
This second video goes through the history of telekinesis and describes all of the times it was debunked. For example, in the Early 1900’s, séances were found to just be people pulling strings or assistants dressed in black moving objects in the dark. The video has a good viewpoint and looks at evidence correctly.

# data[].attributes.body
The video examines the science and history behind telekinesis while also critiquing it. It explains that the experiments trying to prove telekinesis have never been replicated by other scientists which is crucial in the scientific process. It also speaks about brain waves not being anywhere near strong enough to go outside of someone’s skull. Overall I agree with the video on its scientific and unbiased standpoint on the subject.

This is a website that is in the belief that telekinesis is real, through a scientist that has been retired for over 25 years and is still studying it. Now, through out the reading it made some very good points that there is a chance that telekinesis can be real, but I am still going to go against it. Now yes with the experiment that they did it came out with great results, but to me you need a lot more experiments to go how these went. You can say anything is possible if you get one good result but to me you need a lot of proof to make it a reality. Now at the end it says if they keep getting results like this the scientific community will have to take more serious, well when they get to that I will take it more serious to.

Telekinesis: Fact About Mind Over Matter

# data[].attributes.body
This is a website I found that is call "live science". This is one of the first things you should read before you start believing in telekinesis. With this website they look at telekinesis in a scientific way and I agree with what they have said. Since the 1970's they have done studies trying to prove that telekinesis is real and by the end and to this day there is still no hard proof that telekinesis is something that us as humans can do. With them trying to prove it they are being bias. Some of the thing like bending a spoon to me can be done very easily, if you have a weak enough spoon you can bend it with friction. With this website I agree with what they say

Scientific evidence for the psychic ability to move objects or bend spoons remains elusive.

"Who here is psychic? Raise my hand!"

That's an old joke, but there are several claimed types of psychic powers, including precognition (knowing the future) and telepathy (describing things at a remote location). But for sheer impressiveness it's hard to beat psychokinesis, the ability to move objects through mind power. The word is derived from the Greek words for "mind" and "motion" and is also called PK or telekinesis.

Fictional psychokinetics are easy to find: The popular X-Men comic and film franchise includes the character Jean Grey, whose powers include extrasensory perception and psychokinesis. The 2009 movie "Push" is about a group of young Americans with various psychic abilities who team up and use their paranormal powers against a shadowy U.S. government agency.

Though many Americans believe in psychic ability (about 15 percent of us, according to a 2005 Baylor Religion Survey), scientific evidence for its existence remains elusive. Some people even link psychokinesis to the spiritual world, suggesting for example that some reports of ghosts - such as poltergeists - are not manifestations of the undead at all, but instead the unconscious releases of a person's psychic anger or angst.

If people could move everyday objects with nothing more than their thoughts, this should be quite easy to demonstrate: Who wouldn't like their latte delivered by a psychic barista from across the counter, floating it right to your hand with a mere gesture?

This doesn't happen, of course. Instead researchers have focused on what they term "micro-PK," or the manipulation of very small objects. The idea is that if the ability exists, its force is obviously very weak. Therefore, the less physical energy that would have to be exerted on an object to physically move it, the more obvious the effect should be. For this reason, laboratory experiments often focus on rather mundane feats such as trying to make dice land on a certain number at an above-chance rate, or influencing a computerized random number generator.

Because of this change in methodologies, psychokinesis experiments rely more heavily on complex statistical analyses; the issue was not whether a person could bend a spoon or knock a glass over with their minds, for example, but whether they could make a coin come up heads significantly above 50 percent of the time over the course of 1,000 trials.

The idea of people being able to move objects through mind power alone has intrigued people for centuries, though only in the late 1800s was it seen as an ability that might be scientifically demonstrated. This occurred during the heyday of the early religion Spiritualism, when psychic mediums claimed to contact the dead during séances, and objects would suddenly and mysteriously move, float, or fly by themselves across the darkened room, seemingly untouched by human hands. Though many people were convinced - including, ironically, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes - it was all a hoax. Fraudulent psychics resorted to trickery, using everything from hidden wires to black-clad accomplices to make objects appear to move untouched.

As the public slowly grew wise to the faked psychokinesis, the phenomenon faded from view. It was revived again in the 1930s and 1940s, when a researcher at Duke University named J.B. Rhine became interested in the idea that people could affect the outcome of random events using their minds. Rhine began with tests of dice rolls, asking subjects to influence the outcome through the power of their minds. Though his results were mixed and the effects were small, they were enough to convince him that there was something mysterious going on. Unfortunately for Rhine, other researchers failed to duplicate his findings, and many errors were found in his methods.

Uri Geller, shown speaking at a press event in Moscow in 2009, made millions in the 1970s by claiming he could bend spoons with his mind.

In the 1970s, Uri Geller became the world's best-known psychic and made millions traveling the world demonstrating his claimed psychokinetic abilities, including starting broken watches and bending spoons. Though he denied using magic tricks, many skeptical researchers observed that all of Geller's amazing feats could be - and have been - duplicated by magicians.

Public interest in psychokinesis returned in the 1980s. One person nationally known for claimed psychokinetic ability, James Hydrick, tried to demonstrate his powers on the television show "That's My Line" in 1981, following several successful television appearances. He claimed to move small objects, such as a pencil or the pages of a telephone book, with his mind. Host Bob Barker consulted with skeptic James Randi, who suspected that Hydrick was merely discreetly blowing on the pages to make them move.

To prevent this method of trickery Randi placed styrofoam bits around the open book, as the lightweight pieces would clearly be disturbed if the pages were moving because of Hydrick's breath instead of his mind. After many awkward minutes in front of Barker, Randi, a panel of judges, and the live studio audience, a flustered Hydrick finally said that his powers weren't cooperating. Hydrick later admitted that his psychokinetic powers had been faked, and marveled at how easy it had been to fool the public.

The history of psychokinesisis a history of frauds and fakery, both proven and suspected.

Even many researchers admit that the data fall far short of scientific standards of proof; researcher Russell Targ, in his book "The Reality of ESP" (2012, Quest Books) acknowledges that "the evidence for laboratory psychokinesis is quite weak."

Recent advances in virtual reality technology may, however, be the next best thing. In 2017, a company called Neurable announced plans to develop psychokinesis - or at least a virtual reality form of it - for a game called Awakening. Using a combination of eye movement tracking technology and electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors in a headset, the game allows a player to move and manipulate objects in a virtual world merely by looking and thinking. After an initial calibration process that takes several minutes, the players can select and move computer-generated images.

Perhaps one day technology will allow us to actually move objects with our thoughts, but until then we must be satisfied with the power depicted in fiction and fantasy.
