I don't like gummy bears. ~('w')~
To have an effect on this physical world, they say yin energy (spiritual energy that can absorb physical energy) and yang energy (more readily converted to physical energy) must be merged together. This is comparable to the concepts where merging between: conscious mind-subconscious mind, logic-intuition, male-female, fire-water, black-white, etc. is crucial. Because of this 'merge', we always maintain trinity. Mind is what merges body and spirit.
Some people naturally are capable of combining their two types of energy, some have to find a way. I'd say if you already performed telekinesis, then you already know how to merge those two energies together.
As you said, there are countless ways to achieve the same result. This means you'll have to find your own way. :3
