Telekinesis vs. Levitation — What's the Difference?

The supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other non-physical means

Levitation (from Latin levitas "lightness") is the process by which an object is held aloft, without mechanical support, in a stable position. Levitation is accomplished by providing an upward force that counteracts the pull of gravity (in relation to gravity on earth), plus a smaller stabilizing force that pushes the object toward a home position whenever it is a small distance away from that home position.

The supposed inducement of movement of an object by mental or spiritual power.
