Your psychic telekinetic talent involves the ability to move things with the mind. Another term used for it is psychokinesis. Telekinesis simply means mind over matter. There are various powers of the mind and one of the most rare is telekinesis. Not many people have been able to demonstrate this talent and those that have are highly criticized by skeptics. So do people really have telekinetic abilities? Can you develop them?

Well, the only way to answer those questions is through science and records. There’s the story of a Polish born woman named Stanislawa Tomczyk. She was investigated after there were reports of frequent poltergeist-like occurrences happening around her. Studies proved that she was able to use telekinesis, but only during hypnosis. Tomczyk was able to levitate small objects with her mind’s power. She’d place a hand on either side of the objects and they would begin to hover. Witnesses who had seen it firsthand claimed that it seemed as though threads were emanating from her hands as the objects were being moved. Threads?! Hmmm.

Another individual, who is popular and well scrutinized, is Nina Kulagina. She is a Russian woman who was trying to develop other psychic powers when she discovered her ability of telekinesis. Her ability was shown off by moving objects that were nonmagnetic, such as matches, clock pendulums, bread or a salt shaker. This was in the technological age, so it was all captured on video. Skeptics claim that it doesn’t stand up to scientific testing and that she’s just a clever magician.

In the psychic world, you can’t really be a skeptic. This is a closed mind, which is antithetical to the possibility of obtaining full brain power capacities. One of the first steps to developing your mind’s power is to open your mind and believe. The more closed minded you are, the more you’re shutting out the possibility. Unlocking the doorways and boundaries of the mind is easier for some than others. It is said that only a certain percentage of people are able to be hypnotized or to use their mind to attain psychic skills. But perhaps it’s just that some individuals are more tapped into that part of the brain and those others have to work a bit harder. There are home tests you can do to see how tapped in you are with your psychic self. Developing telekinetic abilities takes deep concentration. Study the art of it to see if you too can develop your telekinetic talents.

Psychokinesis is sometimes referred to as telekinesis or mind over matter. It is the ability to move or affect the property of things with the power of the mind. Of all the psychic abilities, true psychokinesis is one of the rarest to develop. Few have been able to demonstrate this ability, and even those demonstrations are highly contested by the skeptics.

Here is a brief outline of some people who have demonstrated these remarkable abilities:

Stanislawa Tomczyk
Born in Poland, Tomczyk came to the attention of investigators when it was reported that startling poltergeist-like activity occurred spontaneously around her. She could control some telekinetic feats, but only under hypnosis. In this hypnotic state, Tomczyk took on a personality that called itself “Little Stasia” who could levitate small objects when Tomczyk placed her hands on either side of them. In the early 1900s, one investigator, Julien Ochorowicz, watched these levitations at very close range and observed something like fine threads emanating from her palms and fingers, although they were examined carefully before the experiment. And it didn’t seem to be a trick. “When the medium separates her hands,” Ochorowicz observed, “the thread gets thinner and disappears; it gives the same sensation as a spider’s web. If it is cut with scissors, its continuity is immediately restored.” In 1910, Tomczyk was tested by a group of scientists at the Physical Laboratory in Warsaw where she produced remarkable physical phenomena under strict test conditions.

Nina Kulagina
One of the most celebrated and scrutinized psychics to claim psychokinetic powers was Nina Kulagina, a Russian woman who discovered her abilities while attempting to develop other psychic powers. Reportedly, she has demonstrated her powers by mentally moving a wide range of nonmagnetic objects, including matches, bread, large crystal bowls, clock pendulums, a cigar tube and a salt shaker among other things. Some of these demonstrations have been captured on film. The skeptics contend, of course, that her abilities would not stand up to scientific testing, and that she may be nothing more than a clever magician.

Uri Geller
Geller is one of the most well-known “psychics” who has publicly demonstrated feats of psychokinesis: spoon and key bending have become almost synonymous with Geller’s name. Although many skeptics and magicians consider his metal-bending performances nothing more than adroit sleight-of-hand, Geller has allegedly shown that he can manifest the effects over great distances and in multiple locations. On a British radio show in 1973, after demonstrating key bending to the astonishment of the host, Geller invited the listening audience to participate. Just minutes later, phone calls began pouring into the radio station from listeners all over the UK reporting that knives, forks, spoons, keys and nails began to bend and twist spontaneously. Watches and clocks that had not run in years began to work. It was an event whose success surprised even Geller and thrust him into the spotlight.
