The idiom 'Mind over matter' talks about the human mind being powerful enough to influence any matter in any form it so desires.
Thus, starting from basic concentration power, will power for self development to a bit more advanced like focusing away your mind to bear pain and till the extreme end of influencing or moving physical objects with your thoughts, all fall within the scope of the power of your mind.
The term psychokinesis is closely related to this above mentioned phrase since 'mind over matter' in its extreme sense leads to psychokinesis which involves moving matter physically with the power of one's mind.
In an effort to research and experiment the influence of the human mind in the unexplained movement of physical matter, the word Telekinesis was first coined which referred to such paranormal activity being initiated by spirits or ghosts. However, when human mind was realized to be the reason behind all this, the term Psychokinesis was coined.
Depending on the measurement of such phenomena, there exits two categories to this phenomena. One is micro psychokinesis where the changes in the movement are too minute to observe without use of scientific instruments while macro psychokinesis is bigger movements in objects which can be seen by ordinary eyesight.
Less extreme paranormal element to this phrase involves mind centric subjects of spirituality or philosophy where the concept of 'responsibility assumption' plays a crucial role.
An important aspect in the personal growth studies, responsibility assumption basically refers to taking responsibility for your own life and your own future. That is, it proposes that what comes off your own life or what you achieve is solely the function of your mind and its thoughts.
Recent spiritual awakening in the last decade also has laws such as Laws of Attraction, etc talking in the same direction.
The Laws of attraction states that if you have an object of desire which you want to see manifested in your life, then direct your entire attention, energy and focus on it and feel the energy waves leaving you and charging up the vision. If you have complete faith that it will happen, and rid your mind of all negative thoughts in order to receive the event when it manifests actually, you will see that you can create your own destiny with your mind power.
Psychokinesis has countless claimants who are alleged to be able to demonstrate such abilities.
Starting with the 1972 author of the novel 'Cyborg', he claimed to be capable of moving 'energy wheels' on multiple small table tops with the sheer power of his mind.
The Israeli Uri Geller and the Soviet psychic Nina Kulagina are also worthy of mention due to the spoon bending techniques of the former and the short films showing psychokinetic demonstrations of the latter.
Mention must be made of Felicia Parise, an American laboratory technician who could move matters like plastic pill containers, aluminum foil, compass needles etc with the power of her mind. While she first performed these spontaneously, it was only after several intense concentration sessions and inspiration from the Nina Kulagina films that she was able to develop her powers to work at her will.
The National Enquirer, a tabloid newspaper also stated her to be the First American who could move matter with her mind. She retired from psychokinesis demonstration when it started affecting her physically.
Apart from such scientifically researched instances, there are tracts of remote mountains in this world where monks and sadhus renounce everything else and reside to harness the power of their minds. The holiest and the most spiritual place on this planet is that of the great Himalayan mountain range in India, Nepal and Tibet.
In India, the holy pilgrimage takes place in the form of Kumbh Mela (Annual), Ardh Kumbh Mela (Once in 6 years) and Purna Kumbh Mela (once in 12 years) where all such rare sadhus come down to take a dip in the holy Ganges where one can witness miraculous acts such as psychokinesis therein.
With the power of the human mind harnessed and developed, one can attain the impossible. They say one can achieve anything with the power of concentration, faith and true belief. So if you truly believe in the saying 'mind over matter' and work towards developing your mind power, then creating, controlling and changing whatever you want in your life is very much possible.
