| Abstract: | Reviews studies that have explored methods that might enhance the operation of psychokinesis (PK). The studies are divided into 6 main categories: (1) hypnosis, (2) yoga and meditation, (3) relaxation, (4) feedback, (5) negative reinforcement and punishment, and (6) 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. Some areas suggested for future research include exploration of the mentally relaxed mode of mind, the best types of mental relaxation procedures, and goal-oriented imagery.
