Biokinesis, a word coined by combining "bio" meaning life and "kinesis" meaning motion, is the practice of using one's mind or consciousness to manipulate biological entities like organisms, cells, and DNA. There are other terms that have been used to refer to this phenomenon, such as psychokinesis, telekinesis, and biomancy. Additionally, some may use terms like bioenergy healing, biofeedback, or biofield therapy to describe similar practices that focus on influencing the body's energy fields. Some may also describe biokinesis as a form of self-improvement, using visualization and positive affirmations to bring about physical changes like weight loss, muscle growth, and healing.
