🧠What exactly is telekinesis?
In short:
Moving things with your mind.
Examples of alleged telekinetic abilities:
Bending a spoon without touching it 🥄
Levitating an object from a table
Opening doors, extinguishing candles, influencing dice – just with your thoughts
🔮 Where does the idea come from?
The term comes from the Greek:
"tele" = distant
"kinesis" = movement
Made popular through spiritualist circles in the 19th century and later through parapsychology.
Pop culture has made the topic famous:
Star Wars ("The Force")
Stranger Things
Carrie (Stephen King)
Matilda (the child with magical powers)
✨ In esotericism / spirituality
Some believe that highly developed states of consciousness, meditation, or certain energetic abilities could enable telekinesis.
It is sometimes associated with chi, prana, or the field of consciousness.
The term occasionally appears in energy work or in "Spirit Kids."
