A lot of people reading about the Psychic Window Technique have asked me for information on telekinesis (moving objects with the mind). Since I have some experience in this area, I thought I would tell you what I know.
The most important thing to understand is that it is possible. Telekinesis is part of physical reality, just as telepathy is. The next most important knowledge related to achieving success with this, or any other human ability, is realizing that if one person can do it, any normal person can do it, and that means you.

There is a prerequisite to achieving success in this endeavor, and that is having the ability to relax completely and focus your attention without distraction. In itself, concentration is one of the easiest activities one can possibly perform. It is simply being aware of one thing without distraction, and happens to an intense degree while watching the exciting scenes of any motion picture, for example. In actual practice it can be nearly impossible to maintain concentration for any length of time due to the subconscious concerns of day to day living. If you are going to practice the techniques described below, it would be to your advantage to perform relaxation exercises prior to beginning. After you have achieved success a few times the necessary focus can be reached quite easily.

I think of telekinesis as manipulating a sort of human "magnetic field" around the body which can be concentrated in a specific area. (It is probably possible to move objects at a greater distance but I have no experience in doing so.) By concentrating this "magnetic-like" energy in the fingers of one hand, I have been able to cause a metal spoon balanced on the edge of a water glass to begin rocking back and forth till it falls off the glass. I did this ten times a day just to stay in practice for a period of two months about fifteen years ago (and caused a lot of jaws to drop in restaurants in the process :). Since then I have been too preoccupied with day to day life to really focus my attention properly, and it has been hard to find a combination of a glass and spoon which would balance properly, so I more or less gave up on pursuing such a "useless" novelty. Lately my interest has been growing again so I might start looking for a suitable object to resume my practice, but all you really need to know is that it can be done, and ordinary people like you can do it.


Using the analogy of magnetism is a good way to focus your attention. You need to imagine a magnetic-like field around your hand, and push your hand (or finger tips) into the "magnetic field" of the object you want to move. (Such a field surrounds every object on Earth.) When one magnetic field interacts with another it will either push or pull against the other depending on the two magnetic field polarities. Opposite fields attract, similar fields repel. By concentrating on the belief that the field around my finger tips was very strong, I could momentarily place my finger tips near the end of the spoon handle and imagine it pushing against the magnetic field of the spoon, causing the spoon handle to move downward slightly. I would move my finger tips away to the side to let the spoon handle move back upwards, then repeat the process by moving my finger tips over the handle once more. This repeated movement of my finger tips to the side then back over the handle slowly caused the spoon to rock more and more till it would fall off the glass.

You have to be careful not to move your hand up and down, at least in the beginning, because the "wind" generated by the movement of your hand could cause the spoon to move. You must also be careful to note any breezes in the room from heating or air conditioning, since your hand might block the breeze off and on and cause the spoon to move accordingly. If you rest your elbow on the table while doing this, be sure the table is VERY solidly positioned or you may accidentally cause the table to rock slightly in a rhythmic way, which can also cause the spoon to move.

The very first time I achieved this it took five hours of relentless effort before I was sure I was actually doing it and that none of these variables had been the cause. I thought I had succeeded after about two hours, but continued the exercise because I wanted to be absolutely certain I had succeeded in developing the ability. It should not take you as long because I had no evidence at the time that it was really possible, and no technique to work with that was known to produce results. After that first time I could get it to work in less than five minutes, and later could do it without major effort, knocking the spoon off in less than a minute.

The WHAT you do here is obviously not nearly as important as how you think while doing it. Psychic phenomena happens at a non-verbal level of awareness. Your conscious thoughts only help focus your attention. They don't do any of the "work" involved. While imagining my finger tips pushing out "strong magnetic fields" I would mentally think, "uuunnnnnnnn, uuunnnnnnn" each time I placed my fingers over the spoon handle. But even then I did not put my attention on the "word" I was "thinking." I actually tried to make the intensity of the "magnetic field" drown out the word. When you do that properly the "uuunnnnnn" actually goes away and instead you can feel the magnetic field in your finger tips. If your attention is on the thoughts you think you will not be able to maintain any consistent results. Your thoughts direct your intent to the subconscious, which then does what you HONESTLY EXPECT it to do. As far as I know this is true in every type of psychic phenomena. It's not what you think, but what you expect. Once you have achieved certainty that you have the ability to do this, it is far easier to expect the results you want, and less effort is required to achieve those results.

There is another preliminary exercise you can do in the beginning to help focus your attention. If you hold your hands together palm to palm (as in prayer) but space them ever so slightly apart so they nearly touch, but don't, you can feel the heat given off by each hand. It is a very subtle sensation but you can indeed feel it. If you then "imagine" that what you are feeling is actually the magnetic-like field emanating from each hand, by moving your hands a bit closer together you can feel the fields pushing against each other. When you move your hands apart slightly, you can feel the pull of the fields.

I believe these fields actually exist, and that the subconscious is aware of them. By concentrating your attention on your perception I believe you are simply tuning into subconscious awareness. This isn't all that unusual, since right now your subconscious is aware of whether you are breathing in or out, and if you are leaning forward or to one side slightly, etc. As soon as you think about it you become consciously aware of subconscious awareness that was always just below the surface. I am simply pointing out that psychic phenomena is a subconscious process all of us experience constantly. We just have to know what to look for and the awareness becomes instantly available.
