There was recently a similar debate, and and a CFI on that similar issue.  
The issue was whether I could cause my speeder to move, and happen to drag 
me with it.  There, it wasn't even me directly causing the movement; but 
when using Jedi powers, you very much are causing the movement.
While I think that the rules allow both your attempted movement ane mine, 
the Judges have ruled that moving oneself to be a very broad term.
