Can you make an object move without touching it?
How strong is your chi?
This simple device is said to offer some answers...
The Psi wheel (also known as Chi wheel or Gonzo wheel) is a small pyramid-shaped piece of paper or foil, balanced on top of a low-friction pivot such as the tip of a needle.
It is commonly used to attempt to demonstrate and develop psychokinetic powers (i.e. telekinesis).
Psi wheels are also said to provide a measure of the strength of one's chi, or vitality.
The beauty of a Psi wheel resides in its simplicity, and the ease with which one can seemingly get fast results from it. Here's a quick tutorial I have thrown together (based a method which several people have found to be successful) on how to make your Psi wheel spin through your psycho kineticsub powers:
Our first step is going to involve making a Psi ball, which we will hold in our cupped hands, and subsequently use to spin the wheel. This involves some visualization.
Sitting in front of the Psi wheel, but not focusing on it at the moment, we're going to start drawing energy from the nearest available source: the earth.
Let's visualize drawing energy from the core of the earth, through our feet. Picture this stream of energy flowing from the deepest part of the earth, and rising as a torrent of fire to your feet. Picture yourself drawing this energy through your feet until it rises through your legs, abdomen and torso, and finally separating into two streams flowing down through each arm.
Visualize this stream of energy still flowing through each arm, twisting and meandering like a great torrent of flames, until it reaches your cupped hands, where it is gathered in a ball.
As you keep visualizing the earth's energy being drawn through your body, the Psi ball in your hands will be slowly growing. Keep going until it reaches the size of a football, and you can feel it's size, weight and texture in your hands.
You have your first Psi ball!
Our second step: Now, still holding this ball of energy through your hands, bring it to the Psi wheel so that it would envelop the device, the foil pyramid sitting in the center. Keep visualizing this ball of energy still flowing through your hands and now starting to spin, and starting to make the Psi wheel spin with it.
Through visualization, you can also reverse the direction of the flow, and make the wheel spin the other way.
You have now just mastered basic telekinesis!
