Telekinesis is a proven fact. Is it possible and how to learn telekinesis? How to master telekinesis quickly Energy storage exercise

Telekinesis (from the body ... and Greek kinesis movement), the movement of physical objects by a person without the mediation of muscle effort. The hypothetical energy that allows this is called psi-energy or bio-energy. It is believed that the psi-operator can excite telekinetic abilities in other people - those who are next to him.

Telekinesis in parapsychology is considered as the ability of non-contact influence on inanimate objects. Some researchers believe that the formation of powerful physical fields is the root cause of telekinesis. It is noted that when trying to telekinesis, strong pulsed fields of electromagnetic origin and acoustic signals with a duration of 0.1-0.01 s are generated. Other researchers believe that telekinesis is the result of an exclusively mental effort (psychokinetic), in this case, thought is considered as an intangible substance that influences intangible entities.

It has been noticed that telekinesis, like other parapsychological abilities, sometimes appears as a result of injuries, illnesses, stresses, electric shocks... This confirms the idea of ​​the hidden reserves of the human body, especially the brain. Many assume that each of us is endowed with such talents, we just need to create conditions for their manifestation. It is no coincidence that whole complexes of special exercises were invented to develop these abilities.

In recent years, telekinesis has been most diligently studied by employees of Princeton University (USA) under the guidance of Dr. Robert Jahn, who is in charge of the laboratory of anomalous research. They were able to prove that a person can influence material objects with his psyche. According to a strictly verified methodology, thousands of experiments were carried out here, in which hundreds of people participated - men and women of different ages and professions. One of the groups was faced with the task of mentally influencing the oscillation of a pendulum placed under a transparent plastic cap. Five operators managed to do this at any time of the day at a considerable distance, the rest - only in individual cases.

In addition, electronic random number generators were used in the experiments. It was necessary to influence the readings of these instruments with the power of thought, to guess the numbers. The result exceeded all expectations: the law of chance was violated - the planned numbers fell out more often than others! In other words, the will of man made certain changes. Interestingly, in cases where couples who knew each other well (spouses, friends, lovers) participated in the experiments, the efficiency was four times higher than in experiments with singles. And it was also noticed: for some reason, male participants in these experiments turned out to be more successful than women.

All this allowed Robert Jahn to state in an interview with the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph: “We believe that we have found irrefutable proof of the reality of this mysterious phenomenon. Psychokinetic effects manifested themselves to one degree or another in all subjects. Therefore, we think that we are talking about qualities common to almost all people."
In a word, thought is capable of influencing physical bodies. And this fact, together with others, may well force us to change the scientific picture of the world. The same Jan developed the concept of quantum mechanical interaction of consciousness with physical systems. Other scientists have found that the power of the mind can influence a variety of devices and liquid media. These are ultra-precise chronometers, lasers, electrical circuits, electromagnetic radiation generators, emulsions, colloidal solutions, water...

Far from all people have telekinetic abilities, but if a person is on the right path of development, he will be able to achieve success. In order to master this property, it is necessary to go through a rather long path, which covers almost all magical sections.

Harmony within the person himself plays a decisive role in the development of abilities. Only through harmony can results be achieved. Telekinesis will be possible only when there is enough energy (prana) in the body. Without harmony, a person simply simply wastes his energy on the negative aspects of being. Such as anger, cowardice, excitement, rudeness, envy, power, selfishness, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to learn to live in harmony with the outside world, which is the main task of everyone. If you want to develop telekinetic abilities in yourself, you must first of all perfectly master the exercises for strengthening and accumulating bioenergy and master the technique of self-hypnosis. Only then can one begin the purposeful, systematic development of telekinetic abilities.

An example of telekinesis

One of the most amazing phenomena was Russian Ninel Kulagina. For a long time, only the elite knew about her, some venerable academicians testified to her extraordinary gift. But they kept quiet about this, because it was believed: since there is no official laboratory studying paraphysical phenomena, there is no need to talk about it yet. But in 1988, when during the period of perestroika the opportunity opened up for the Soviet media to cover "anomalous" topics, the multi-million television audience was able to make sure that telekinesis was a reality.

Kulagina took off her wedding ring from her finger, put it on the coffee table, scattered matches nearby, then moved her palm over these objects without touching them. The ring started moving and together with the matches moved to the edge of the table... Scientists could not explain this amazing effect and invited them to their laboratories for scientific experiments.

Professors discovered other unique abilities in Kulagina. In particular, to determine colors and read printed texts with any open area of ​​​​the body, change the chemical composition of liquids, increase the electrical conductivity of air, relieve pain during inflammatory processes, treat vascular diseases, heal wounds ... Once she was able to move a glass decanter weighing 380 grams. It is curious that during experiments on telekinesis, between Kulagina's fingers and objects that she set in motion with the efforts of her body in a non-contact way, some kind of "thin shiny dotted lines" that looked like beads sometimes appeared. The unique complex of Kulagina's abilities, confirmed in scientific laboratories, was called the "K" phenomenon. So far, it has not been completely solved...

Exercises

1. To perform the exercise, you need to prepare a very light spiral paper cone and hang it on a nylon thread.

Perform exercises to strengthen and accumulate bioenergy.

Stand in the pose of a priest and, mentally feeling the energy in the solar plexus, send it as you exhale to the fingertips of your right hand, then to your left hand. Feel the flow of energy between the palms of the hands, turned to each other at a distance of 30 cm, while feeling the density of air between the hands and tingling in the palms. As you exhale, send the energy back to the solar plexus. Do this operation 15-20 times. After that, sending energy to the fingertips for the last time, with both hands, easily, without physical tension in the area of ​​the hands, turn the spiral paper cone in any direction.

2. Having mastered the exercise and resting for 5-6 minutes, make a full energy recharge and proceed to a more difficult task - influencing the radiometer. Having placed the device on the table, try to turn its petals by acting on the impeller (petals) of the radiometer. After two or three months of successful "work" with the radiometer, you can begin to influence the compass needle. Classes for training telekinetic abilities should be carried out regularly, but before the first signs of fatigue.

It is impossible to allow an excess of energy in the body, for this it is necessary to recharge the body after each session. Those who have mastered the exercises to turn on the chakras to perfection can easily master the technique of deforming metal objects (bending spoons, forks, etc.). But here you need to know that people with heart disease are prohibited from doing this. Many children have spontaneous telekinetic abilities. Parents in this case should treat the "exercises" of children very carefully, avoiding overtraining, and with them undesirable consequences.

3. Three chakras are involved in the mechanism of influence on metal objects: Anahata, Muladhara, Ajna. Take the object with your left hand, and with your right hand, in the thinnest place, lightly stroke it with the index and thumb of your right hand. First visualize the Anahata chakra, focus on it and achieve a vivid vision of its color, then simultaneously from the base of the cone of the Anahata chakra send energy in a spiral to the fingertips of the left and right hands. The message of energy should be soft. At the same time give yourself a setting: "My energy affects the molecules and atoms of matter, I can change their structure." This thought must be constantly present during the experiment. Then you begin to visualize the Muladhara chakra, sending energy (with a clear visualization of color) from the top of the chakra cone along the spine in a spiral to the top of the Anahata chakra cone, then in a spiral to the base of the Anahata chakra cone and then send energy to the right hand. After that, it is necessary to visualize the Ajna Chakra, sending energy down the spine to the Anahata Chakra in a counterclockwise spiral and sending energy in the same spiral to the fingertips of the left hand. Make sends several times according to the scheme until the object is deformed.

As observations show, when energy is sent according to this scheme, the object bends down. If we change the second part of the scheme, we send energy from the Muladhara Chakra counterclockwise to the left hand, and from the Ajna Chakra clockwise to the right, the object bends upward.

A conversation about telekinesis with Academician Yu. B. Kobzarev.

- You, Yuri Borisovich, for many years - from the point of view of a physicist! - have been studying amazing phenomena of the human psyche, in particular, conducting experiments with a housewife from Leningrad, the famous psychic N. S. Kulagina. What can you tell about these experiments and about telekinesis as a parapsychological phenomenon?

“I don't have enough experience to speculate about the various forms of telekinesis. I am not going to analyze messages already published in the press, this will lead very far. With your permission, I will tell you about my acquaintance with Kulagina. About ten years ago, Ninel Sergeevna and her husband Viktor Vasilievich were brought to my apartment by L. A. Druzhkin, head of the physics section of the Moscow Society of Naturalists and my former graduate student. It was he who introduced me to Kulagina's amazing ability to move light objects without touching them.

First, Ninel Sergeevna took an ordinary compass and moved her hands over it for some time. Finally, his arrow began to swing. It was, in her words, a "warm-up". Then, on a table covered with oilcloth, I put a metal cap from a fountain pen. Kulagina, having manipulated him with her hands, also set him in motion. The cap, following her palms, with increasing speed began to approach the edge of the table.

Did you get the feeling that this was a trick?

- Not. The experiment, repeated several times, was observed by my wife, and also by my colleague at the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Professor B. Z. Katselenbaum. It was obvious that in order for the object to start moving, Kulagina had to strain hard. But neither the appearance of Ninel Sergeevna, nor the environment in which the experiment took place, did not even evoke the assumption that I was being shown a trick. On the contrary, I wanted to repeat the experiment again using an electrometer, since it was suggested that the observed movement is the result of the appearance of an electrostatic field on the eve of the second experiment. I calculated how much force must be applied to the cap in order to overcome the friction on the oilcloth and move it from its place. The magnitude of the voltage of the electrostatic field, capable of causing such a mechanical force, was also found. Both for me and for Professor B. Z. Katselenbaum - we made the calculations somewhat differently - very large values ​​\u200b\u200bare turned out - hundreds of kilovolts. We were not very embarrassed by this, because it is precisely such voltages that arise when a person pulls off an electrifying nylon shirt that almost flies away from him, or when, touching a refrigerator (or a person) with his hand, he feels a spark discharge sharp as a needle prick.

For the next visit of the Kulagins, I prepared an electrostatic voltmeter, connected it to the cap with a thin long wire, which, in turn, hung on a thread to the chandelier. I installed an electrometer on the corner of the table, and a cap on the opposite. I checked the chain - I brought a comb to the cap, previously rubbed on a woolen cloth, the needle of the electrometer deviated ... Before talking about the experiment itself, I will note a detail that is essential for further. The wire, screwed to the cap, went vertically upwards, which excluded the possibility of throwing, say, a thread with a loop on it, pulling on which it would be possible to quietly move the object around the table.

And then something happened that literally shocked everyone present. Kulagina, without touching the cap, made it move across the table, and the needle of the electrometer did not even flinch. It turns out that the amazing phenomenon cannot be explained by a simple electrostatic interaction?!

It was decided to arrange a demonstration of experience for a large group of researchers in order to arouse interest in the phenomenon and organize its comprehensive study. I telephoned Academician Ya-B. Zel'dovich and shared with him my thoughts on the strange phenomenon. “The impression is,” I said, “that there is only one way to explain it—to recognize that it is possible to influence the space-time metric by volitional exertion...” Such a monstrous idea was, of course, rejected by Zel'dovich. He bluntly stated that Kulagina, of course, uses strings, but I just did not notice all her manipulations.

The next series of experiments took place at the apartment of my great friend Academician I.K. Kikoin (his apartment was chosen because it had a large hall that could accommodate many people). Academicians V. A. Trapeznikov and A. N. Tikhonov were also among those present. The meeting was joined by Deputy Director of the IRE of the USSR Academy of Sciences Professor Yu. V. Gulyaev (now Academician, Director of the IRE of the USSR Academy of Sciences). Here Kulagina moved a small wine glass, which stood on a large desk covered with newspaper. The newspaper was placed on glass, under which lay family photographs (which prevented Kulagina from concentrating). The participants of the experiment, who carefully observed what was happening, did not find any clues.

In addition to telekinesis, Ninel Sergeevna demonstrated to those who wished the ability to cause heating of the skin at the point of contact with her hand. However, heating occurred even without any contact. This phenomenon interested the professor of Moscow State University Braginsky. He endured pain longer than others. As a result, the scab at the site of the burn did not go away for several days.

- Yuri Borisovich, so how does all this happen? What is the physics of non-contact movement of objects?

To find out, subsequent experiments were carried out. First of all, we decided to look for something that we could “grab onto ...” There is no electricity, but maybe there is a sound that is not heard, or some vibrations occur that cause the movement of objects.? After all, there is, say, the phenomenon of sound wind: a light object lying on a table can be set in motion if a working loudspeaker is brought closer to it. A small paper windmill spins when a vibrating piezoelectric plate is brought near it.

And so, while on official business in Leningrad, together with Yu. V. Gulyaev, they conducted a special experiment. Shortly before this, tiny microphones had been specially made in the IRE laboratory; one is capacitor, the other is ceramic. They were built into matchboxes and connected to an amplifier and a cathode-ray oscilloscope. All these devices were taken with them.

In the evening we gathered together with the Kulagins in my hotel room, and Viktor Vasilievich showed an amateur film he had made long ago. I was struck by the shots where Kulagina moves the object without bringing her hands closer to it, only with the help of head movements.

We started our experiments with a condenser microphone, as it is more sensitive. As soon as Kulagina brought her hands closer to the matchbox and tensed, pulses appeared on the oscilloscope screen ... and immediately everything disappeared. The microphone has lost sensitivity. Having disassembled it, we saw that it was "broken" - its membrane was welded to the base. The microphone was soon corrected, but again a failure: the sound impulses were so strong that the condenser microphone could not withstand them. The ceramic microphone worked flawlessly. During the movement of the matchbox, he gave out erratic impulses with very steep fronts. Kulagina's hands emitted ultrasound! It was a great discovery that literally shook our imagination.

For greater reliability, the experiments were repeated during the next visit of the Kulagins to Moscow. In this case, the pulses were recorded on magnetic tape using a broadband tape recorder at my disposal (bandwidth up to 200 kHz). Then they were read using a special setup on a cathode-ray oscilloscope and photographed. Thus, it was possible to estimate the duration of steep pulse fronts - about 30 microseconds. But what the physical nature of these impulses was was not clear.

— Are these acoustic impulses capable of registering only very sensitive instruments?

- On this occasion, Gulyaev came up with a simple idea: listen to these impulses. Kulagina brought her hand close to the ear of the experimental physicist, tensed up, and random clicks began to be heard. The more she tensed, the more they sounded. Kulagina, who did not expect this from herself, became worried: was she harming the experimenter? No one was hurt during these experiments.

In the future, Yu. V. Gulyaev rechecked these experiments with the impulses discovered by him in every possible way. Still, it is extremely difficult to believe in the ability of a person to emit acoustic impulses.

Also a big surprise for us was the glow of Kulagina's palms, which occurs with volitional tension. This time the demonstration took place (on her next visit to Moscow) at the apartment of Yu. Subsequently, this radiation was also registered by instruments. A series of experiments was set up, but the experiment carried out in my apartment was of decisive importance.

Employees of Yu. V. Gulyaev installed a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and a digital indicator in my office, registering the effect on the PMT. In the complete absence of light, the last sign of the number on the indicator changed randomly, registering a dark background.

Kulagina put her hand to the PMT lens, I fixed it from above with my own hand. Both the hands and the PMT were tightly wrapped in opaque material. The room was hot, Ninel Sergeevna's palm was covered with perspiration. For a long time we stared unsuccessfully at the darting last digit of the device - all other digits were "nulled".

Ninel Sergeevna was worried. After all, earlier such experiments were successful. Why is the device not showing anything now? I could feel her getting stronger and stronger. Finally, a number appeared and began to grow. It grew to 9, jumped to the next digit ... We did not have time to come to our senses, as the figures of the third digit ran on the indicator. Thousand times the dark current!

I feel that Kulagina is exhausted, but she cannot stop, although I demand that she stop straining. Finally, I can't stand it and take her hand away from the PMT window by force. She immediately runs away, she becomes ill. An attack of nausea and vomiting. The same thing happened to her after the demonstration of telekinesis by Kikoin, but then only his wife knew about it, whispering to us that Ninel Sergeevna was not well and she should rest a bit.

- Why was it so difficult for Kulagina to cause the glow of her hands under tight control? During the first demonstration you mentioned, these difficulties were not noted, were they?

- Both when generating clicks and when generating a glow in the first experiments, everything went smoothly. But under control conditions, the glow, apparently, was hindered by sweat, which abundantly covered the surface of the skin.

- Giving evidence at the trial and later, speaking on television in the Vzglyad program, you spoke about the streams of particles, corpuscles flying out of Kulagina's palms: How was this established?

— In order to find out the spectral composition of its radiation, in experiments with photomultipliers, we began to close the window of the device with light filters.

It turned out that under the influence of Kulagina, the glass plates become cloudy, and plaque forms on their surface. In experiments on non-contact heating of the skin and under appropriate lighting, we noticed that sparkles form on the heated surface. The skin seems to be covered with tiny crystals. Moreover, Yu. V. Gulyaev told me that when he asked Kulagin to save him from an attack of lumbar sciatica, she warmed his lower back until it turned red. After that, Gulyaev's wife scraped off almost half a teaspoon of some kind of salt. “What did you do with this salt?” I asked. “I gave it to our chemists for analysis.” They said that these are common sodium and potassium salts present in the human body.

- Have special studies been carried out on this salt?

— Alas... V. V. Kulagin once told about a very simple experiment he had done. He assembled an electrical circuit from two metal plates placed vertically at a distance of five centimeters from each other, connected them to each other in a circuit through a battery from a flashlight and a microammeter. When Ninel Sergeevna brought her hand closer to the space between the electrodes and strained, the microammeter registered a current of the order of ten microamperes. I asked E. E. Godik, who at that time headed a special laboratory at the IRE of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which has now grown into a department, to conduct appropriate experiments. In the laboratory, a simple installation was urgently assembled, which is a small brass box with a lattice window. A battery from a flashlight was placed inside, one pole of which was connected to the body of the box, and the other was left free. An electrode was mounted inside, connecting it with a shielded cable to an amplifier connected, in turn, to a tape recorder.

When Kulagina, having thoroughly washed her hands, brought them to the window of the box and strained, electrical impulses were recorded at the input of the amplifier and, accordingly, on the tape. Unfortunately, the circuit contained a signal limiter, so only their exceeding a certain threshold was recorded. On the whole, however, it became clear that electrical impulses, like the acoustic impulses previously observed in microphone experiments, represent two facets of one process. In both cases, particles flew out of Kulagina's hands, which, after a relatively short path, hit the microphone membrane or the eardrum. One of two things: either these particles themselves carried an electric charge, or carried out ionization of the air. Getting on the surface of the glass, they clouded it, getting on the surface of the skin, formed the smallest crystals on it, which irritated the nerve endings, caused an abnormal rush of blood and a burn, like a strong mustard plaster.

So, we have two facets of one process...

Yes, one of the physiological, previously unknown Process. But that's not all. This summer, V. V. Kulagin told me about the experiments connected with the influence of Kulagin on water. As soon as she holds, straining, her hand near the surface of the water poured into the jar, the liquid becomes sour in taste. This is confirmed by litmus paper, which changes its color. The effect was the same when the jar was closed with a lid, and Ninel Sergeevna simply held it in her hands. These experiments were immediately repeated at my home and... surprised witnesses tasted the "sour" water (naturally, they did not dare to drink it), looked at how the litmus paper moistened with it changed its color. The next day, we repeated these experiments in the laboratory of E. E. Godik, registering the process this time with a pH meter. The recorder displayed a graph showing a gradual change in the pH of water from 7 (neutral) to 3-3.5 (acidic). When the jar was covered, the rate of oxidation dropped sharply. Apparently, the particles ejected from the pores of the palms had a high hydrophilicity and were easily absorbed and dissolved by water.

- Excuse me, Yuri Borisovich, I will interrupt you. Are all the observations made not enough to recognize Kulagina's ability to create streams of particles flying out of the skin of her hands by volitional effort? And if this is so, then the telekinesis demonstrated by Kulagina is not a trick, but a physical reality.

“It is impossible to deny the existence of a stream of particles. But for a scientific explanation of telekinesis, it is necessary to measure the magnitude of the charges on the bodies, calculate the electric fields and show that their intensity provides the emergence of forces sufficient to move objects of a given weight in a force field. I note that sometimes the mechanical impact of flying particles can also affect. Since they, despite air resistance, travel a considerable distance, it means that they fly out of the hands at high speed.

- Yuri Borisovich, skeptics most often (though unsuccessfully) “convicted” Kulagin of using all kinds of strings, magnets, etc. Have you set up such experiments in which the possibility of using such accessories would be excluded in principle?

The most interesting, in my opinion, experiment not only eliminated the possibility of using any strings and magnets, but also excluded particles flying from Kulagina's hands from falling on the object being moved. To do this, IRE produced a plexiglass cube without one face. With its open end, the cube fit snugly into grooves milled in a thick plexiglass base. A cardboard sleeve from a hunting cartridge was placed inside the cube. Such a device was conceived just to show that telekinesis is not a trick, it is a real fact. After all, the object being moved is non-magnetic, and the possibility of using strings was completely excluded. The experience took place two years ago.

Knowing how much effort Kulagina had to spend in such experiments, I invited our neighbor, a doctor, as a witness. Ninel Sergeevna spent an unusually lot of effort before the sleeve moved. When she moved to the wall of the cube, Kulagina became ill. The doctor who measured her blood pressure was horrified. The upper limit was at the level of 230, the lower one almost reached 200. They called the neighbor's husband, also an experienced doctor, he stated a spasm of the cerebral vessels, let the patient take the medicines he had brought, ordered him to keep complete rest. “The patient is close to a coma,” he explained to me. “Such experiments can lead to sad consequences ...”.

- What is the reason for the movement of the sleeve?

- If the movement of an object is explained by the accumulation of charged particles emitted from the hands, then what huge charges must be formed on the surface of the cube so that the Coulomb force of the required magnitude begins to act on an object consisting mainly of a dielectric. Accurate measurements are needed to verify the correctness of this explanation. They haven't been made yet.

- How, then, is the very first experiment with an electrostatic voltmeter, which did not react to the movable cap of a fountain pen, explained?

- The fact that the instrument needle did not deviate, although the object being moved was charged, can be explained by the fact that the charges on the object were "connected", balanced with the charges of the same magnitude, but opposite in sign, on Kulagina's hands. The mechanism is the following. From the initially neutral hand, the charges flew away and settled on the subject. In this case, the hand turned out to be charged with electricity of the opposite sign. There were no charges on the electrometer. But after the end of the experiment, when Kulagina (with her charged hands) moved away from the table, the charges from the object, now unbound by anything, should spread along the wire and reach the electrometer ... But the latter did not react. Perhaps the charge was not sufficient to deflect the needle?.. In a word, an insufficiently correct experiment does not allow one to draw a reliable conclusion. The research should have continued. But due to Kulagina's health, this is hardly possible.

- Were there any other experiments that would help clarify the issue of telekinesis?

- There were, but, according to skeptics, just as insufficiently correct. Kulagina acted on the laser beam. The beam was passed along the axis of a tin cylinder, at the top of which a hole was punched. At first, the beam illuminated a small bright spot on the screen.

Being in the next room (it took place in Gulyaev's apartment), I realized from the friendly exclamations of the experimenters that the spot on the screen had disappeared, and the space inside the cylinder seemed to be filled with a pink fog. Yu.V Gulyaev told me that in one of these experiments two laser beams passed along the can axis with different distances to the side hole. The screen was replaced by photographic devices, and the recording of light pulses was carried out on two tracks of a tape.

Knowing the time shift of the impulse signals on the tracks, it was possible to determine the propagation speed of the impact. It turned out that the impact on a more distant beam was delayed much more than if it was a question of sound (when these experiments were carried out, we knew nothing about corpuscular flows). There was another similar experience that was carried out in my apartment. Unfortunately, he did not give clear results ...

— Do you recall cases that cast doubt on the correctness of the actions of the subject?

- Such an incident that spoiled our mood just happened during experiments with a laser. One of the young observers stated (and then one or two more participants joined him) that he saw a thread and even a small object tied to it and lowered by Kulagina into the cylinder through a hole in its wall. I do not believe that Ninel Sergeevna tried to deceive the experimenters. She didn't need it! Another experiment with a striking result added little to what had already been established with complete certainty. At the same time, I do not question the honesty of the experimenters who saw the thread. Yes, they saw the thread, but there was no thread!

It is known that Indian fakirs are capable of causing amazing, unnatural visions in quite large groups of people. There are cases of mass hallucinations among those praying in the church. I myself once experienced a visual hallucination suggested to me by a hypnotist. Having rolled a ruble into a ball, he made me see a hundred-ruble bill, quickly unrolling the ball and rolling it again. There were other cases that convinced me that you can both see and hear something that is not really there ... Self-hypnosis took place, and the experimenters saw the strings, because they believed that it was impossible to do without them ...

- In 1978, by order of Japan, the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company made the film "The Unique Abilities of People", in particular to Kulagin, who demonstrated "reading with the back of her head." Behind her back, the operator put up a table with a picture of a number, and she called this number.

- When I began to ask Ninel Sergeevna about this experience, she said that, concentrating, she seemed to see what she was shown and that it didn’t matter to her whether it was a number or a multi-digit number. We decided to repeat this experience at my home.

I prepared a number of tablets about 4 by 7 cm in size with random three-digit numbers. He installed them on the shelf of a bookcase, to which Kulagina stood with her back, covering her face with a scarf. Then he moved away from the closet, sat down on a chair and, watching Kulagin, expected the results. Ten seconds later Kulagina called the number. Then I put the next sign. All ten tablets were identified correctly, but some details of the experience convinced me that there was no “reading with the back of the head” here, that this was just a familiar ritual ...

The essence lies in Kulagina's ability to perceive the image of the number on the tablet from the consciousness of the person who puts up the tablet ... I will not expand on this matter, other cases of telepathy that I observed not only with Kulagina are much more convincing and interesting.

The peculiarities of these cases are such that the commonly cited "explanations" of telepathy - the extraordinarily high sensitivity of the percipient to the mimicry of the inductor, which, as it were, involuntarily "whispers" the desired answer to the perceptive, etc., etc. - are completely excluded. Work with Kulagina is still ongoing in Leningrad. They give new, very interesting results.

Telekinesis is the ability to affect objects with just a thought. In parapsychology, this phenomenon is also called "psychokinesis". With it, you can move an object over a long distance, hang it or make it float in the air, etc.

Despite the fact that telekinesis has not yet been scientifically proven, there are people in the world with such abilities. Mass manifestations of psychokinesis were observed in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. At that time, a huge amount was carried out. And eyewitnesses claim that they observed with their own eyes the phenomena of materialization and disappearance of objects, levitation and telekinesis. All this was shown by mediums who found access to the subtle spiritual world.

As a rule, people who are well developed have psychokinesis. Therefore, when one has to think about how to learn telekinesis, others have been given this gift from birth. However, this does not mean that it is impossible to learn this ability. Can. You just have to put a lot of effort and patience to achieve the result.

So, if you are interested in the question of how to learn telekinesis, then this article is for you. Next, we will look at ways of concentration and training, thanks to which you can develop this unique ability in yourself.

Do you need it?

But before you start training, decide for yourself the most important question: "Why do you need telekinesis abilities?" If you just want to show off to others or impress them with your abilities, think about whether such a game is worth the candle.

Are you serious about what you are going to do? After all, if you are looking for a way to learn telekinesis quickly, you will be disappointed. This cannot be done. It will take months, if not years, to master this technique. Everything will depend on how much effort you put in to achieve your goal. In addition, it must be remembered that nothing in this world is given for free. And in the process of telekinesis, a person spends a huge amount of his psychic energy. Do you just want to waste it senselessly? And this is fraught: you can simply

However, if you are really serious about developing your supernatural abilities and are ready to make efforts for self-improvement, then boldly go ahead!

How to develop the ability to telekinesis

In order to awaken the abilities of telekinesis in oneself, one must begin with spiritual growth. Here you need to take an example from yogis who choose the path of spiritual development, thanks to which they have many paranormal abilities. For example, cases of levitation, mind reading, foresight of the future, as well as the ability to move objects with the power of thought alone are known.

Yogis devote their whole lives to this. Therefore, anyone who is looking for ways to master telekinesis should start with their own spiritual development. It is also necessary to have strong energy, good vitality and excellent health. After all, telekinesis classes will require large energy costs. You can do yoga, meditation or other spiritual practices. You need to learn to take full control of your physical and spiritual body.

In order to develop telekinesis in yourself, you need to prepare yourself for it. Here are some exercises to help you do this. They must be completed within a month, at least.

1. Daily concentration. You should always start with her. First, find a point where you will focus your attention. You can draw it on a mirror or glass to facilitate the task. Then do not take your eyes off the point for five minutes. Imagine how light comes out of your eyes and "touches" this point. Remember that your body is in a relaxed position. You should be comfortable, and nothing should distract you. Over time, increase the concentration time to fifteen minutes.

2. Make it harder. Still keep your eyes on the point, but at the same time try to rotate your head in a circle in different directions. Most importantly, do not take your eyes off the point. Do this exercise for fifteen minutes.

3. Directly in front of you, draw two points - one above, the other below. Now concentrate and begin to slowly move your gaze from the top to the bottom and vice versa. Don't take your eyes off. At the same time, you will feel as if you are using the power of thought to draw an invisible line from the top point to the bottom and vice versa. It can even cover the feeling that the look "falls" into the object on which the dots are depicted. If you learn to do this easily and naturally, then later it will be easy for you to move objects with your

How to learn telekinesis at home

We repeat once again that it will not be possible to truly master such a subtle and complex technique quickly. So get ready to work hard. You will have to do exercises daily and train your willpower and concentration.

Perhaps the training will take months, maybe years. So if everything doesn't work out for you, don't despair. Sooner or later you will cope with everything and learn to control your energy.

Energy Storage Exercise

The first way to learn telekinesis is to develop the ability to focus your energy in one place. To do this, open your palms and hold them opposite each other. Then imagine that energy flows throughout your body. Unite all your energy in the solar plexus and direct it into your open palms.

Be sure to mentally accompany this entire process. Imagine how your energy flows through the veins, how it collects in the chest, and then slowly flows over the shoulders, arms, wrists and accumulates in the palms.

Do all this several times. If you do this exercise every day, then over time you will feel that your energy has increased significantly.

glass exercise

The next way to learn telekinesis is by training with a cup. For this exercise, you need to buy a plastic cup. You can, of course, use glass. But it can be traumatic. In addition, plastic glass is much easier to work with.

So, sit on the floor, and put the glass sideways on a chair with a flat surface. Now, using the actions from the previous exercise, focus all your energy in the palms. Then concentrate on the glass and, without touching it with your hands, perform actions as if you were rolling it in different directions. Remember, you only move the cup with willpower. No hands. To enhance the effect, you can mentally imagine how the wind blows from your hands, which shakes the glass.

This exercise should be done for ten minutes. But don't rush into results. They may appear no earlier than a week later. After the first results with a glass, you can start exercises with heavier objects.

Match exercise

For this workout, you will need a regular match and a ribbon. Tie a ribbon to the match and hang it up. Your goal is to use the power of thought to make the match rotate around its axis.

You do everything exactly the same as in the previous exercise. Just be sure to train in a quiet, calm and windless room in order to soberly evaluate your results. You need to exercise daily for ten minutes.

Water Telekinesis Technique

For this exercise, it is not necessary to go to the reservoir. You can do with improvised means. Take a deep bowl or pot and fill it with water. Throw a match at it. The purpose of this exercise is to move the match through the water with the power of thought. You can move it in any direction you like. Focus all your energy on the match and imagine, for example, that an invisible hand is moving it through the water. Just remember that you can’t touch both the match itself and the bowl or water. Do this exercise for at least ten minutes as well.

Now you know a few simple techniques on how to learn telekinesis. So don't delay and start exercising right now. Good luck!

Telekinesis and Telepathy

A case of spontaneous telekinesis happened to a French girl, Angelique Cotten, when she was 14 years old. On the evening of January 15, 1846, she and three village girls were embroidering. Suddenly, the needlework fell from their hands, and the lamp was thrown into a corner. Her friends blamed Angelica for everything, in whose presence strange things always happened: furniture was pushed back, chairs began to fly around the room.

Her parents, hoping to make some money, organized a show in Mortana. The girl attracted the attention of the Parisian scientist Francois Arago. When the girl was in an "electrified" state, almost everything that touched her clothes bounced to the side. When Argo tried to touch the girl at the moment of her paroxysm, he experienced a shock, as from touching a source of electric current. If a magnet was placed next to her, even when she did not know about it, Angelica would begin to shake violently. The compass needles, however, did not respond to her presence. Most of the objects that moved with her were wooden.

Angelica is not the only one with this ability. In 1888, Dr. Ercole Chiaya from Naples described the amazing medium Eusapia Palladino as follows: "This woman attracts the objects surrounding her and lifts them into the air. She plays musical instruments - organs, bells, tambourines, without touching them with her hands" .

She was shown to the famous psychiatrist, Professor Cesare Lombroso, who was shocked by what she was doing. Her ability to leave fingerprints in a cup of mastic was especially striking. She forced, even aggressively, the furniture to move towards the audience, and the hands materialized by her in the air, devoid of a corporeal shell, looked real.

Telekinesis is the ability to act on inanimate objects by willpower - turn the compass needle, hang objects in the air, bend metal products, extinguish the flame of a candle at a distance. Among the psychophysical phenomena: clairvoyance, telepathy, proscopia and others, the phenomenon of telekinesis is one of the most intriguing.

These paranormal abilities have long haunted the human mind. They were known even to mystic yogis of antiquity, who, it is believed, could materialize objects from the air, move them, lift them into the air. In the twentieth century, such abilities began to be observed among representatives of younger civilizations who had never heard of yoga or any psycho-spiritual practices. What are these hidden psychic forces that allow people to influence objects without direct physical impact?

Some researchers argue that the impact occurs due to the formation of powerful physical fields (for example, it is noted that telekinesis generates strong pulsed fields of electromagnetic origin and acoustic signals with a duration of 0.1-0.01 s). Other researchers believe that the impact can occur due to mental effort (psychokinesis). At the same time, thought is considered as an intangible substance that influences intangible entities.

The difficulty of studying the phenomenon of telekinesis is primarily due to the fact that it is extremely rare and manifests itself in a pronounced form in units. The results of experiments on telekinesis are poorly reproducible. This makes it difficult to study it by conventional methods in modern natural science. Often the subjects themselves cannot explain how this happens, they cannot control this state at will and reproduce it with difficulty in subsequent experiments.

Experiments on telekinesis, even with outstanding phenomena, cannot be carried out endlessly, since its manifestation is associated with extreme stress of physical and mental forces, which can significantly damage health. During the demonstration of telekinesis, there is a sharp activation of mental processes, an increase in blood pressure, heart rate. Even after the end of the experiment, the subject cannot return to normal for a long time.

It has been noticed that telekinesis, like other parapsychological abilities, sometimes appears as a result of injuries, illnesses, stresses, electric shocks... This confirms the idea of ​​the hidden reserves of the human body, especially the brain. There are cases in history when people, at a distance, bent, moved, hung forks, spoons and other objects in the air, as well as turned the compass needle, changed the course of the clock, dispersed the clouds, extinguished the flame of a candle.

For example, one Western researcher has learned how to influence the ciliates-shoes observed in a microscope with a thought. With the effort of thought, one can also act on the growth of plants, the development of pathogenic fungi, on the metabolic process in a living organism, the treatment of wounds ...

All this sounds so incredible that it would be easier to consider talking about telekinesis as fairy tales, but there are living phenomenal people who demonstrate unique abilities - they can move large objects with the "power of thought" (N.S. Kulagina), hang them in the air and hold them on weight for a long time (E.D. Shevchik). And such incidents are not uncommon.

Scientists have long been interested in the question, what is the nature of such phenomena: the result of the actions of spirits or the power of the human mind? In 1854, the Comte de Rasparin reported on successful experiments in Switzerland with moving a table, during which several people sitting around the table moved it by force of will. He believed that this phenomenon is due to some invisible force produced by the participants in the experiment themselves.

Psychokinesis can occur with or without conscious effort. In 1912-1914. Everard Fielding, a member of the Society for the Study of Psychic Phenomena, studied the ability of the Polish medium Stanislawa Tomczuk. In a state of hypnosis, she controlled her abilities, making spoons and matchboxes move around without touching them.

Austrians Willy and Rudi Schneider, who became world famous, could make a handkerchief rise from the floor, and it changed shape as if there was a hand inside it, and the knuckles of the fingers were clearly visible. Objects during their sessions moved around the room, although no one touched them. In the presence of both brothers, the German writer Thomas Mann watched as a bell standing on the floor rang vigorously by itself. Many scientists began to come to Braunau to see for themselves their abilities. Among them was Albert Freiherr, a physician and parapsychologist who, from the end of 1921, carried out a total of 124 experiments over the course of several years to study the abilities of the brothers.

Another person who demonstrates telekinesis is B. V. Ermolaev, a specialist in the field of cinema. He picked up various objects (lighters, cigarettes, cigarette boxes, glasses, etc.), held these objects in his hands, and then let them go. The objects hung in the air at a distance of up to 5 cm from the hands. There are photographs showing hanging a cigarette, a box of matches. But the most curious thing is that he could hang matches in the air that fell out of the box.

The so-called "Geller effect" became known to scientists who observed Uri Geller, who was born in Tel Aviv in 1946. Already at the age of four, his ability to bend metal spoons with an effort of thought was manifested. In 1972, American paranormal researcher Andria Pukharik brought him to the attention of physicists Russell Targ and Harold Putoff of the Stanford Research Institute in California. Geller's ability to clairvoyance made a special impression on them. It was said that he could read minds, bend keys and other metal objects with a simple touch or even a glance, start mechanisms and stop them.

The British psychologist Kenneth Batcheldor, after 20 years of studying the phenomena of telekinesis, published in 1966 several reports containing the conclusion that psychokinesis was possible. However, the question of how psychokinetic effects are achieved with the help of the mind is still to be resolved.

In recent years, telekinesis has been most actively studied by employees of Princeton University (USA) under the guidance of Dr. Robert Jahn, who is in charge of the laboratory of anomalous research. They were able to prove that a person can influence material objects with his psyche. According to a strictly verified methodology, thousands of experiments were carried out there, in which hundreds of people participated - men and women of different ages and professions. One of the groups was faced with the task of mentally influencing the oscillation of a pendulum placed under a transparent plastic cap. Five subjects managed to do this at any time of the day at a considerable distance, the rest only in some cases.

Scientists have found that the power of the mind can influence a variety of devices and liquid media. These are ultra-precise chronometers, lasers, electrical circuits, generators of electromagnetic radiation, emulsions, colloidal solutions, water... The fact that thought is able to influence physical bodies is no longer a secret to anyone. If scientists accept this fact, it can change the entire scientific picture of the world.

Some researchers suggest that each of us is endowed with similar "paranormal" abilities that were once natural to humans, they are just in a latent state. Future experiments may help unravel the nature of telekinesis more. So far, one can only state the fact of the existence of a special psi-energy that controls telekinesis.

10 years ago, Ninel Sergeevna Kulagina, a famous woman who knew how to move objects with the power of thought, passed away. Her telekinetic abilities were studied for 20 years, but they never fully believed in them. Many researchers still believe that all this was a conscious hoax and no telekinesis exists. And at the same time, it doesn’t occur to them at all ... just to move objects without touching them with their hands. After all, it's simple!

It turns out that official science is no longer so zealously denying the direct influence of the human psyche on the physical world. After all, experiments prove the opposite. And how they prove it! On July 10, 2008, a world record was set in the nomination "The largest community of people trained in the shortest possible time in the skills of telekinesis." Believe it or not, telekinesis turns out to be easy! 400 people at once demonstrated the ability to move objects without contact. And this is far from the limit: thanks to the methodology developed by Professor Vladimir...

Telekinesis and psychokinesis are superpowers.
Telekinesis and Telepathy.
(combining several sent news)

Telekinesis is often characterized as the ability of a person to influence various objects with the help of mental effort. At the same time, it is believed that an act of pure thought is triggered, which, being some non-material entity, has an impact on material objects or processes. Such a point of view, of course, is incorrect and in no way can correspond to the principles of materialistic natural science, on the basis of which it is necessary to analyze the phenomena related to parapsychology.

Telekinesis or psychokinesis is the anomalous ability of a person to influence objects (physical objects) without material impact. Telekinesis is based on the ability of thought to influence the physical world, as an ordering principle. Some science fiction authors understand telekinesis as the control of thought through a clear ...

Telekinesis - hidden human abilities

Telekinesis- the ability to influence the mechanical movement of objects by the power of consciousness. Some people have this ability from birth, others acquire it as a result of training.

For a long time, the ability of a person to influence the position of objects was myths and legends. In the 19th century, unique people appeared in Europe, whose telekinesis abilities moved from the category of a myth into a scientific riddle that has no explanation. Telekinesis was often presented at seances of spiritualism, for example, flying utensils or writing instruments. Spiritualist Daniel Home, who participated in scientific experiments, became very famous. Being bound, he made objects float and even play the accordion.

At the beginning of the 20th century, interest in telekinesis dropped significantly and rose sharply in the mid-1950s. In our country, telekinesis is closely associated with the name of Ninel Kulagina. About her gift, a woman ...

People who have mastered telekinesis are able to extinguish the flame of a candle, bend and move metal objects. Regarding psychophysical phenomena, telekinesis, like clairvoyance, telepathy, proscopia and other sciences, is one of the most intriguing and unidentified sciences in the world. However, it can be learned and mastered by this phenomenal gift.

Hello dear readers, as well as casual visitors, today we will raise the following question: telekinesis superpowers? First, let's understand what is TELEKINESIS? I suggest to see what wikipedia thinks about this: telekine w(Greek τῆλε and κίνησις, literally: "movement at a distance"), or psychokine s(Greek ψυχή - “soul”, “heart”, “breath”; κίνησις) is a term used in parapsychology to denote a person’s ability to influence physical objects with only one effort of thought. Here's what Wikipedia thinks about it!

Nowadays, it is no secret to anyone that the average person uses their brain capabilities by less than 10%, however, there is a category of patient, and responsible people who ...

Telekinesis is the ability to affect objects with just a thought. In parapsychology, this phenomenon is also called "psychokinesis". With it, you can move an object over a long distance, hang it or make it float in the air, etc.

Despite the fact that telekinesis has not yet been scientifically proven, there are people in the world with such abilities. Mass manifestations of psychokinesis were observed in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. At that time, a huge number of spiritualistic sessions were held. And eyewitnesses claim that they observed with their own eyes the phenomena of materialization and disappearance of objects, levitation and telekinesis. All this was shown by mediums who found access to the subtle spiritual world.

As a rule, people who have well-developed extrasensory abilities have psychokinesis. Therefore, when some have to think about how to learn telekinesis, others have been given this gift from birth. However, this is not at all...

It's no secret that the average person uses less than 10% of their brain power. However, the most patient and responsible ones are able to develop their own abilities without limit - even into the realm of the supernatural. A person can develop intuition, memory, and even some skills that are not given to everyone. Many in the course of working on themselves are wondering how to learn telekinesis.

Does telekinesis exist?

Despite the fact that we live in the 21st century, the question of how to develop telekinesis sounds a little strange, implausible and more like a joke to most. However, despite the mass of TV shows in which such a superpower was demonstrated, there are still no scientific studies that would confirm the real existence of such a possibility itself. In other words, everything that was shown on a TV show has always been a banal trick with a fishing line or a magnet. That is why the main secret of telekinesis...
