Telekinesis or Mind Reading... anyone acheived it?!?
537608
There are countless numbers of people, from all countries and lifestyles, that have not only been documented but tested and studied, and have been scientifically proven to be able to interpret thought and feeling waves and even send waves to someone who has not developed their ability, allowing another to read their thoughts. This is called Mental Projection. Mind reading is quite easy in practice, however building the belief in it's existence, and your innate ability to use it is another story. After you've established faith and trust in yourself, very little training is required to turn Average Joe into a telepath.\nTelekinesis is far less common, but documented records DO EXIST. Some of the more famous ones have been slagged as magic, or suppressed into myth, but scientifically is just a more advanced use of mental projection. In addition to faith, trust and training, one needs high levels of mental discipline, including control of emotions, a calm mind and a very strong focus of attention. Despite this, there are the odd few who have been born with abilities beyond those of the normal population. Despite the denials proclaimed by religious sects such as Catholisism, the 'odd few' number is very rapidly increasing with every year since early 1980's breaking the record held the year before in number of births worldwide with paranormal abilities. This is believed to have started with a generation known as the "indigo children," which has been made into a film just recently.

Yes, it was not done by a magician and it is not what people tend to picture it to be. Some moron does not sit there and wave something in front of your face and tell you that you are getting very sleepy either :D\n\nI was in a nice room and I was asked to lay down and make myself comfortable. I was told to focus on something that was relaxing to me, there were pictures of nature, and there were flowers and nice things like that. WHile I was focusing I was told to breathe in and out slowly and deeply until every limb of my body was relaxed. then I was told to close my eyes and visualize myself to be wherever it is  I wanted to be. I was hypnotized to relieve mental stress. :)\nYou are basically so relaxed and you are filtering the bullcrap out of your mind so that you can tap into your subconcious. It is the coolest thing . The professional slowly talks you back to "reality" and you come out of feeling so calm and relaxed, it is awesome.  You would be amazed out how you can find the solutions to your problems. \n\nEveryone has their opinions of what it is like or how it feels, but I thought it was great.

There is no real evidence for the existence of\nmental telepathy. This doesn't mean it does not\nexist, just that no one has any good reason to\nsay it does.\n\nMany people have claimed to have experienced it\nbut so far there is always some other explanation\nof what happened.  So called psychics who claim\nto read minds have been tested.  They always fail\nthe tests.\n\nA prominent magician, James Randi, carries with\nhim a check which he will present to anyone who\ncan demonstrate any paranormal ability under\nconditions that will eliminate the possibility of\ncheating.  A number of people have tried, none\nhas succeeded.  This check used to be for ten\nthousand dollars, but I have heard that it has been\nupped to a million.

Psychokinesis (PK) - sometimes referred to as telekinesis or mind over matter - is the ability to move things or otherwise affect the property of things with the power of the mind. Of psychic abilities, true psychokinesis is one of the rarest. Few have been able to demonstrate this ability, and even those demonstrations are highly contested by the skeptics.\n\nStanislawa 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. \n\nNina 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 that a clever magician.\n\nUri 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.\n\nSpirit Online offers this seven-step method of improving your PK: \n\nMeditate daily for half an hour, 15 minutes if your schedule is too busy. \nAttempt PK at least once a day, twice if possible. Give yourself a good 30-60 minutes to try it. \nFocus on one method for at least a week; if it shows no results, switch methods. \nBe 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. \nDon't give up. \nDon't tell yourself you can't do it, because you can. \nBELIEVE!

True Clairvoyants?\n\nThere are many want-to-bes, but also many good ones, in my experience. \n\nHere some examples:\n\nSUV with Hanger\nA woman wanted to get her belongings from the storage of her former home city to her new location. She did not know anyone with a truck. A psychic told her that she saw a SUV with a hanger transporting her belongings! The woman asked around and through a friend found someone who would get her things. Incidentally (?), he had a SUV, but no hanger! Was the psychic wrong? When they arrived in her former home city, they found that all her belongings would not fit in the car. The driver was willing to get a device to hook up a hanger, if the woman would pay. He always had wanted to get one and now got it for free! So they had the device put on the car and rented a hanger to load the remainders of her belongings! The psychic was right!\n\nNot the right one\nAn astrologer told a woman who had not dated in years that she would meet and fall in love with a man the next year, but he would not be the right one for her. She met the man just before the year ended and fell in love with him. Yet, over time it turned out that he was not the right one! The astrologer was right on!\n\nTreatment\nA psychic predicted that a woman would die if she would undergo a certain medical treatment. The woman did not know about this prediction nor did anyone in her environment know. The woman died within a year after the treatment. The psychic was right.\n\nAffordable Limit\nA psychic predicted that a couple could afford a house at a certain price. The couple did not know how to finance it, since their bank had rejected them. They went to another bank and got the house financed for the sum the psychic had predicted. The psychic was right.\n\nMeeting a Man\nA psychic predicted to another psychic that she would meet the man for her in a club or church. Some time later the psychic who had made the prediction saw the other psychic arm in arm in church with a nice man. The psychic was right.\n\nState Man\nA psychic predicted that a woman would meet the man of her dreams, but he would be shy, and that he was living outside of her state at that time. The woman met this man, he was the man of her dreams, he was shy, yet, he was living in the same state and town, but he had bought property in the other state at the time of the reading. The psychic was almost right! It can happen that input is wrongly translated by the brain, e.g. here buying property was understood as being the same as living there.\n\nThere are many other examples of good psychics. Unfortunately, they often do not hang out their shingle, as many not so well equipped or intended "psychics" do.\n\nThere is a good rule, "Never say never, and never say always." There may always be exceptions to never!\n\nCordially, India.Magica

None-And let me add, that people who believe in things such as ghosts, telekinesis, etc, think that the scientific establishment want to somehow dispute this, even though they know its true.  Discovering that telekinesis is true, that bigfoot really exists, that there are provable ghosts, would make a scientist's career and put them in the history books...and scientists are, if anything, more curious than most people-we would LOVE to see that kind of thing...remember, lots of us were raised on science fiction and still harbour hopes of meeting ET, going faster than light speed, finding out the ESP really works...on and on.  Problem is, we also require real proof.  No, there is no proof of telekinesis.  If there were, the US government would be pouring billions of dollars into studying it.

Telekinesis, or being telekinetic is what it is called when someone can move objects with there mind. So scientist believe that having the ability to do this is because a person has brain function in the front part of the brain. Test has shown that when some one with ESP or telekinesis or telekinetic have more activity with the front part of their brain. \n\nThe wand is just a more direct point to magic, some believe that by using a wand it is more direct. A wand has a point, with it, it is easier to direct magic to where the spell caster wants it to go.

I don't know what you mean by abilities. \nMoving things without touching them is called Telekinesis, and while I'm sure there are witches who can also do it, it's not a witch thing. You can't change the shape of something, or stop time or make the sun and the moon run backward or anything, but we, I mean, myself and the other witches with whom I associate can, and have healed others, and also made them sick, caused and cured insanity, increased and decreased fertility in plants, animals and humans, and caused various machines to act wacky. I have personally caused nymphomania, impotence and car trouble, though not always on purpose. Many of us are able to communicate with animals, and we are also able to communicate with each other without the use of a telephone. \n\nEx. My boyfriend lives 600 miles from me, and we are able to enter each other's dreams, feel each other's emotions and communicate with each other telepathically. I made a charm to aid us in doing so and we each carry it always, but we probably don't need it.\n\nLet's see... shapeshifting is a skill some of us have, but it's not what you think. It's more of a glamour. Astral projection is a simple feat, travelling in spirit form, entering people's dreams, spying on them, etc. Channelling spirits is also pretty easy, if you let it happen. In both cases it's a matter of allowing it to happen and not freaking out.\n\nYou can't turn someone into a toad, but a very skilled witch can make someone think they're a toad or give someone a toadish aura, if that makes sense to you. You can't defy the laws of physics, just can't be done. \n\nAnyone can learn to do these things. These are innate abilities, like speech that are easily learnable. However, much like speech, if you are discouraged from doing it as a child, or never learn it, the older you get, the harder it is.

Yes; healing, telepathy, telekinesis, prophecy, spirits, God manifesting, sequences of events that defy all odds.  My mother, one of the sanest and most loving people I have ever known, college educated, worked at the U.N. and with various embassies in New York (and I think Washington D.C., but I'd have to ask my stepfather) experienced even odder things.  She only lied to me once in my life (I never even suspected she lied, but I had asked a HIGHLY personal question that was NONE of my business, even as a son, and she corrected the lie 30 seconds later.  I didn't even suspect despite her agitation.  She could easily have not told me despite the embarressment it cost her.  She did so anyway.  She was an amazingly ethical person.  Yet, she claimed that she had frequently seen faeries as a child and teenager, as well as a number of other experiences through adulthood.  And yes, the family is a strong supporter of psychology and none of us take drugs or drink, or seek such experiences.  They just happen.\n\nJust one example, one of the minor ones: On a trip to Hawaii my family and my best friend's family were at the Mauna Kea Hotel.  While outside walking with his son, my friend, his father had a major heart attack.  The hotel is somewhat isolated.  We called emergency services.  Here is a list of the coincidences:\n1) A busy popular hotel (nearly empty during that hour, for no reason the staff could figure out and remarked on it)\n2) Elevator was there exactly on time for the paramedics (they remarked on the coincidence)\n3) A new hospital had JUST opened very close, vs. the clinic that was much farther away (we were told how incredibly fortunate that was, as he would have died.  They were blunt)\n4) No traffic on the busy section (ambulance people again commented on how everyone seemed to be gone)\n5) We were told he would not make it.\n6) Next day we were told he would never walk leave his bed.\n7) Next day we were told that he would probably recover in a several years, but only partially.\n8) Next day after that we were told he might recover in a few months, and they remarked that they were just stunned with his recovery.\n9) Within six days, he was out of the hospital, walking on his own, and within another week it was as if it had never happened.\n10) If it had happened at home, at the isolated location the family had chosen to live, he would have died.\n11) It even happened on the very tail end of our vacation!  We had a great time until then!\n12) He's still alive decades later.\n13) Here's the big one: We barely talk about it.  It's not that uncommon in my family.  \n\nThis is not proof, just one person's experience. At the same time, be very careful.  I encourage you to read "Flim Flam" by James Randi.  There is so much nonsense and fakery going on, and so few people know scientific method or formal logic.  But keep an open mind.  That's part of being truly skeptical.  I'm skeptical, because there are ALWAYS other explanations.  I've met too many people who claim such things, and ten minutes down the discussion I've realized that they just this side of an insane assylum.  Keep questioning, even as you explore the wonders we have all around us.  Don't be gullible, but never shut your mind to the wonders and magic we, as just people, can experience.

You have succeded in controlling the movements of a pendulum because you were holding the pendulum and moving it with your hand (I've done it myself).\n\nTelekinetic powers don't exist, simple as that (though there are a lot of things mistaken for telekinesis and a lot of cheating).

Someone turned me on to the fact that he was talking about breaking through into a higher state of consciousness.\n\nBreaking out of our ordinary reality into something bigger.

Lol! Interesting wish, if I do say so.\n\nI don't know....I suppose I've always wanted to have the ability of teleportation? That would be so awesome. Muahaha :) That's my wish!

No to the first question, there is no such thing as telekenesis accept in SCIFI thus no correlation.\n\nNo to the second question IQ has not been shown to be associated with any abilities to control and use one's senses or limbs.\n\nThere was a old myth that people who had a higher IQ used a greater percentage of their brain. Some said we only used 10% of our brain and Einstein used much more.  That has been shown to be completely False.  If true one could have argued that using more of the brain would possibly open up more possibilities such as telekenesis.  But that line of thought is moot.
