Telekinesis

Posted by: Tanoro - January 05, 2007

Introduction

Telekinesis, simply put, is the ability to apply force using the will of your mind. This is a practice merely a fantasy to some people and a mystery to others. Throughout recorded history, there have been countless stories and occurrences of people capable of moving objects with their mind alone. Some of us even consider the Stephen King movie Carrie and how frightening it was. Ironically, no one in recorded history has ever become as powerful as Mr. King's mythical character in that movie.
What are the secrets of telekinesis? Well because the practice is among the world's most mysterious, all we have to work with is experimentation and the word of those lucky enough to have had the experience. I, myself, have practiced telekinesis for a few years now. My level of success isn't what I want it to be, but it has been fun to show off to friends. Based on my technique, I've prepared a number of tips, exercises and final thoughts to help you become a practicing telekinetic.

How It Works

The tricks to telekinesis that prevents most people from successfully doing it are clarity and concentration. It is extremely hard for the mind to cross into the boundaries of the physical to apply physical force, therefore your mind must be extremely strong and clear in order to properly focus on the task at hand. Have you ever tried to empty all thoughts from your mind and keep it that way for an extended period of time? It sounds easy, but it is really quite hard unless you meditate regularly. Therefore, I recommend some experience in meditation before working seriously with telekinesis.

Once your mind is sufficiently clear and focused, you only need to understand and apply the principles of telekinesis to use it in any way you choose. Telekinesis only requires the clear and strong focus of two variables in order to work: target and motion. Target is what you wish to move. Motion is how you wish to move the target. Focusing on these two variables as strongly and clearly as you can will produce the mental power to do exactly that. Remember that it takes great concentration and clarity to focus on these two variables and that is what prevents most people from doing it. You must focus so strongly and so clearly on the target that you completely eliminate any and all perception of everything in the room except the target. This is nearly impossible when there are people, pets, or other distractions around. Motion also requires its share of your mind. This is where the mind becomes rather burdened and telekinesis becomes nearly impossible for the average person. That's about all there is to it! From here on, it becomes a matter of personal technique. There are, however, some pointers that may help you.

There are ways to help you focus better on target and motion. Calmly staring the target down with your eyes helps your mind to determine the target. Using hand gestures to signal the motion also helps the mind to determine the motion. However, hand gestures are very vague unless you pair it with visualization. Visualization also helps focus on the target to some extent, so I recommend using it. In addition, visualization becomes stronger with meditation.

Exercise #1 - Smoke Manipulation

Materials:

1- Stick of incense (any kind)

IMPORTANT!!! Incense comes in many forms (i.e. stick, oil, herb, powder, etc.). Use the stick incense for this and not the others! The stick incense provides a more definite and visible line of smoke.

Preparation:

This exercise is best set on a day when you have nothing to do and no one is around. Do it in the room that is most comfortable to you. There should be no distractions around and nothing bothersome on your mind. Shut all doors and windows in the room and turn off all appliances that may produce sound or a breeze, regardless of where they are pointed. Turn off your telephone as well as this can be great distraction at the worst possible moments. Set the incense about six or more feet away from where you will be sitting. I recommend sitting in a comfortable chair for this exercise, but any way that is comfortable to you is best. Do not stand during this exercise. Light the incense and sit down. Take several moments to breathe deeply and relax your body from toes to head. Shake off everything that is on your mind. Doing this also allows the smoke from the incense time to settle into a single definite up-going stream. If the smoke does not settle into a single stream, check all doors and appliances again to make sure something is not fanning it. You are ready to begin.

Procedure:

Once preparations are complete, focus on the stream of smoke roughly an inch or two from the tip of the stick. Try a few hand gestures to see if you can get a reaction from the smoke. Simple zigzag gestures work well for beginners. Stop gesturing periodically to allow the smoke to settle again. The reactions will be very small at first until you have had a lot of practice, but you will notice that the smoke does move a little to your gestures. It will happen quickly and stop as you do, so you know that your gestures are not causing a breeze to fan the smoke. This exercise is surprisingly easy and you will probably get a small reaction within your first three sessions.

Exercise #2 - Gripping Practice

Materials:

1 - Rubber Band (average size, average width)

Preparation:

Sit down in a comfortable chair and prepare your mind as you would any telekinesis exercise.

Procedure:

Hang the rubber band in the soft crook of your power hand (the hand you write with) between your thumb and index finger. Hold your other hand open and about an inch beneath the band. Close your eyes and focus on your target using your sense of touch. Feel the weight of the band on your finger. Once you can feel its gentle weight, gently drop your lower hand. You will easily feel the band get heavier on your power hand and you will likely feel a rubbery pull on your lower hand. Gently bob your lower hand up and down periodically and experience the change in weight of your target.

Exercise #3 - Projection

Materials:

1- Pan or Cauldron of water (a black container works well)

Preparation:

Place the container of water on a fairly soft surface where you can easily see the water's surface. Prepare your mind as you would for any other exercise.

Procedure:

Focus on the water in the center of its surface and use hand gestures that indicate a poking of the surface of the water. Watch for ripples in the surface. Take care that ripples are being caused by vibrations from your own physical movements or other people or things in the room. Some large appliances, like washing machines and dryers, cause vibrations in the floor that can invalidate any success in this exercise.

Final Thoughts

The nature of force is a complicated matter that one must understand in order to learn how to manipulate it. In order to move an object, you must be able to apply more force to it than what it is naturally subject to. All matter is constantly subject to some type of force or another. Practicing on targets that are subject to great levels of natural force (large weights) is unwise and you will probably get no reaction at all until you are strong enough to overwhelm these forces with yours.

Gravity is the most common and controls everything that is solid or liquid. Some or your more dense gases are also subject to gravity. Smoke generally has little to no density and is warm, therefore gravity can not stop it from going up until it cools off. Once it has cooled off, smoke generally hangs in the air, oblivious to any and all natural forces. This is good for practice, but it is hard to focus on a large body of smoke and a small body of smoke will dilute itself in the air and disappear. Fire is the same as smoke, but its upward pull is greater and harder to manipulate.

Friction is another force to keep in mind. Moving objects across high friction surfaces is naturally more difficult, however you are not directly fighting gravity either. Lifting solid objects straight up avoids friction, but you are directly fighting gravity now. Objects that are suspended from a string (pendulums) or balanced on a thin surface also make good targets are practice because they respond only to gravity pulling straight down. You can then manipulate the objects in all side directions without worrying about friction or direct gravity.

Telekinesis, interestingly enough, can be subdivided into numerous practices depending on what kind of target you are trying to manipulate. Various types of targets respond to different types of force and each one has its own name. Simple solid objects are easy to move because you can apply force from one direction to move it efficiently. However, lifting a mass of water can not be done this way.

Apply force to solids from one direction. Apply force to liquids from all directions not covered by gravity.

If you tried to lift water as you would a solid object, downward gravity would cause it to spill around your force. Therefore, liquids require the concentration power to apply force in five directions to prevent gravity from taking it from you. If you want to lift it into a different shape, this is a matter of focusing on motion. Same goes for powders and salts. Fire only responds to the gravity applied to whatever object is burning. Other than that, fire does not respond to gravity at all. It simply goes straight up. Electricity goes straight to ground, taking the path of least resistance. Knowing this can allow you to manipulate it. Air and gases that are lighter than air move with whatever force is applied to them (i.e. heat, physical motion, etc.). Unfortunately, air is invisible and hard to focus on. You get the idea. Different types of targets require different types of force applied with telekinesis to maintain control over them. The different types of telekinesis are below.

Fire - Pyrokinesis
Earth - Geokinesis
Water - Hydrokinesis
Air - Aerokinesis
Electricity - Electrokinesis
Vectorkinesis - Volume/Area
