The power to move something by thinking about it without the application of physical force: The revelation of the actions of telecineses in objects as by a spiritualistic medium who can supposedly do it without contact or any other physical means.

1. The supposed mental ability to control the movement of objects from a distance as with "psychokinesis": Sam told his children that he had the power of telekinesis and could remove a stone from one side of the river and place it on the other side, but after a while, he said it was just a joke!

Telekinesis is the ability to influence the behavior of material objects with mental control alone.

Psychokinesis, "mind-movement", or PK, is the more commonly used term today for what in the past was known as telekinesis or "distant-movement".

2. Etymology: from Greek tele-, "at a distance" + Greek kinesis, "motion, movement" from kinein, "to move". © ALL rights are reserved.
