What actually is a psychic ability? The dictionary definition lists it as a supernormal ability yet it is commonly speculated that everyone has psychic abilities to some extent. From this we are brought back to this question. Perplexing is the fact that both clairvoyance and psychokinesis are classified as psychic abilities yet they are often said to be quite different in their scientific grounding. It is believed by many parapsychologists that clairvoyance is grounded in quantum physics while psychokinesis involves the control of electromagnetic waves, two notably different areas of physics. Why then are they grouped into the same field of psychic phenomena? The most we can state is that psychic phenomena wholly involves the mental control of external material without coming into contact with it yet psychic healing that involves touching the patient is still regarded as psychic phenomena. In the end we are left to state that psychic phenomena is merely any control or prediction of external material that is theoretical in nature even if this would have it that such things as ESP cease to be psychic phenomena if they were to be proven.
