Abstract
This paper reviews studies that have explored methods that might enhance the operation of psychokinesis. The studies are divided into six main categories: (a) hypnosis, (b) yoga and meditation, (c) relaxation, (d) feedback, (e) negative reinforcement and punishment, and (f) visual imagery. A distinction is made between training studies and studies conducted to explore the effectiveness of certain methods. Most of the studies investigated methods that might facilitate the operation of PK on a single occasion. The designs of the studies are described, and their results are presented and discussed. Several improvements and suggestions are considered for future research into methods of enhancing and potentially training PK
