Feel free to add it in your guide. Gave you credit also. :)
What you need to do for this achievement is to Telekinesis Grab the Mine when it pops out and shoot it back at the Cyst that 'spit' the Mine at you in the first place.
You have to be relatively quick to get the Mine before it hits the wall/ground.
I found the best ones to do this to are the Cysts that are on the Ceiling. This is because the blast from the mine won't be enough to kill the Cyst and you will have many attempts to Grab the Mine.
Alternatively,
The guys over at Achievement Hunter have this Achievement guide that is both short and Informative.

If you're having trouble catching it's projectile, get close to where it's about to fire then shoot it with Stasis. Catch and release.
Stasis the cyst first, then shoot it, the turd will be launched in slow mo. Grab it with your telekinesis (B while aiming) and throw it back at the cyst (RT while still aiming).
You can also use the statis containers (they are blue and glowing, scattered around the levels). I got this achievement right after the BIG elevator ride (disc 2). There were a bunch of cyst's around with some statis containers on the ground. Launched one at the cyst, which put it into slo-mo AND caused it to launch its payload. Just grabbed it, threw it back, done.
Full instructions are given in the video, along with hints and tips.
A Cyst is a small round thing mounted on any wall/floor/ceiling and will shoot mines directly forwards if something approaches it. Grab something with Kinesis, throw it near the Cyst and it will pop the mine, grab the mine while its still in the air and fire it back at the Cyst for this trophy.

Cysts are stationary necromorphs attached to walls and ceilings. You will first encounter them in Chapter 6, after exiting the apartments into the Maintenance Area. When you get close to them, they will launch a explosive projectile at you that deals heavy damage. Approach them cautiously and use kinesis to pick up the projectile that they spit out. Simply launch it back and kill the Cyst.
