Yeah, we call that 'geisting for slang. I can remember blowing three light bulbs in a row in class once for the overhead projector, and it forced the teacher to use the blackboard . If you want to stop it, then I would suggest shielding. If you want to control it, try to recreate the emotions that caused it to happen. Figure out SPECIFICALLY what triggers it. Not just "excited", but the actual thought-pattern inside of your head. The state of mind. Every time you do it, analyze yourself and see if you can pinpoint it more. Then try to recreate what you pinpoint it down to.

Yes, you can use it to turn yourself from a live human being to a dead human being.

(Thanks to Aphanas for the phrasing)

And no, it isn't biokinesis. Biokinesis is a political theory concerning the acquisition and maintenance of political power by way of movement of populations.

That is a legitimate question. Other folks have indeed found that if, when observed by a sufficiently doubtful person who him/herself has some degree of "talent", the expectations of the observer colours the results.

Therefore, my advice would be to wait until your pk skill is up to the task of picking people up by the throat from across the room, so you can misquote Darth Vader: "I find your lack of intelligence disturbing." It's also much more fun than bopping a psiwheel in front of your high-school Physics instructor.

There really isn't a difference... Telekinesis is moving something with your mind... and Psychokinesis is... moving something with your mind . Psychokinesis is looked at as the more "scientific" term. PK is also used as a more "umbrella" term for Bio-PK, Pyro-PK, and Cryo-PK.

I guess more accurately, PK is "manipulating something using psi". Terms are kind of annoying to get the technicallities down. Just use http://www.dictionary.com .

Cardiac arrest, apparently. The heart failure _appears_ to be connected to the effect PK has on blood chemistry. Sudden drops or spikes in blood sugar, and/or blood potassium levels can kill you. A drop in blood sugar and in blood potassium has been observed in some people while "doing" pk, regardless of whether the pk itself was successful. Occasionally a spike was recorded instead. I say "some people" because not everyone has been tested clinically. The blood tests are not especially difficult, though, so confirming or denying the effect can be easily accomplished.

A lot of people seem to be worried about what they COULD do, instead of actually practicing to see for themselves! I get questions of people wondering if they could levitate if they practice enough...

The simple fact is this: Start with the pinwheel. Just do that exercise. Practice! Don't sit around and daydream about "one day I'll be able to do this!". You're not going to get anywhere unless you start practicing. Start with the pinwheel, and SEE how far you can get.

Yes. Yes, it can. In fact, it can kill you.

Probably not. If you were a "natural" at it, you'd have noticed before actively trying something.

If you mean, people who are "starting from scratch", I am not aware of anyone who has learned to do that. For those who had to learn to control an already-obvious ability, learning sufficient control to move a cell-phone without damaging it can take anything from several weeks to several years.

If you can afford to buy a "toy" for this, get a radiometer. (They are usually less than $20, and can be purchased at science places such as Edmund Scientific.) The idea will be to _stop_ the thing from spinning without interfering with whatever light source is causing it to spin...a flashlight, for example. There is no known way to accomplish this, other than "pk", or smashing the glass.

(Thanks to the late Bevy Jaegers for the suggestion. She wrote about it in her book _The Psychic Paradigm_.)
