Psionics is the study and/or practice of using the mind to induce paranormal phenomena. Examples of this include telepathy, telekinesis, and other workings of the outside world through the psyche. There is some debate as to whether this energy originates within the mind, or is simply facilitated by the mind. The degree of manifestation can be calculated on a scale between 0 and 12. 0 meaning absolutely no psionic abilities, and 12 meaning a primal command of the abilities at hand. Ki, Chi, Prana, Reiki may be viewed as extensions of psi, though most people believe/agree that these are separate forces despite displaying some of the same properties.
An alternative way of understanding Psionics is just to take them as being an extension of ones own energy (call it chi, qi, charka, etc). While it lies in everyone, some of us can manipulate it actively or some, passively. Passive skills can be taken as advanced intuition. Most 'active skills' start of as being passive, where one cannot control ones actions/it activates-deactivates on its own.
