  1. Of the nature of or pertaining to telekinesis. [Recent.] For the alleged movements without contact, which form an important branch of “so-called Spiritualistic phenomena,” M. Aksakof's new word telekinetic seems to me the best attainable. It need not, of course, imply an actio in distans, without any intervening medium, but rather an action exercised upon a body so situated with regard to the assumed agent that no exercise of any known force would have originated the body's movement. Myers, Proc. Soc. Psych. Research, Dec, 1890, p. 669.
