Empath Protection Construct

[AnimalGurl]

I have messed around and basically found this out. This is targeted at those of you who are empath like me. Someone in my family got hit by a car and everyone was afraid he was going to die (hes doing fine now) but its making me experiment with new ways to help reduce the stress from empathy. Shielding works but I would rather find something that uses less energy.

*Make your psiball
*Think about a list of certain emotions you don't want to feel.
*Now for the construct to stay alive tell it to feed off of the excess emotional energy that was on your list.
*Tell it to follow you
*You may want to shell it, thats your choice I personally do.
*A failsafe might be a good idea, I usually tell mine it can live until I go to bed or for the duration of the stressful situation.

What happens is everyone projects emotions, when that happens you get these big emotion clouds that amplify everything they feel. With negative emotions that just makes everything compound and get worse. The construct drains the energy from those specific emotions away, and you and the other people around you can still feel their internal emotions without it turning into a big mess.

Depending on the situation you can of course tell it to feed of of certain emotional energy from or excluding certain people. The tech might be good for a guardian construct, or something to aid your shield. I find that even in highly stressful situations the construct can do about as well as emotional shielding but it can have more benefits to everyone around you.

I notice people around me tend to fight and argue less. I use it sometimes just for my own emotions, it helps me stay in a calm, focused and centered state of mind. When you get overloaded with any emotions it can impair your judgment.

This comes in handy during a time you know you will be facing stress or certian emotions.

I've used a construct very similar to this. It's very useful!

Sounds quite a bit like some of my older experiments. You may want to take a look at the Guardian Constructs and the Taskmaster Constructs as they may contain ideas that you can use as well.

Later on, you may want to try an orb within your energy-body that projects a small absorption plate out into the path of incoming negative emotions. Something of that design tends to use less energy due to being surrounded by energy that keeps it in its own shape. This allows it to spend more of its energy converting negative energy into good energy, then storing it within. If you have one that does this, it is quite possible to get good usable energy from being around negative energy.

When you tell the psi what its going to do, is this verbal out loud or what?

[AnimalGurl]

It is mostly conceptual, and when I think of the emotions I try to feel/recreate the emotion I want it to absorb (to make a stronger impression when programming). Simply knowing what you want it to do should be enough, you have to know to tell it out loud so you could do that too

I am not totally against the idea, but having a construct inside of me would make me uncomfortable. Closest thing I do is to ball psi in my stomach and expand it outward while making a shield so all the nasties slide off.

[Brilenus]

Yea, many people get uncomfortable about that, even though its just part of yourself inside yourself. I got over it once I started using solid sphere shields rather than hollow spheres. Much higher protection, and it doesn't really effect you in any negative ways from what I have seen.

Everyone has their preferences though, and I am not entitled to attempt to change them, just to speak what I have found.

[AnimalGurl]

Interesting, I have messed around with shield thickness, I find if its solid all the way though though it feels "heavy" and I become claustrophobic. Thats why I use hollow ones more often, its a comfort thing. I tend to push the inside edge out a few feet away from my body at least.

[Brilenus]

I find that once you get into moving energy into different phases, you can create a quite solid shield that doesn't feel like is there at all. Hard to describe either what is feels like, or how it is done however.

If you can experiment enough to see what I mean, it opens up quite a few possibilities for constructs that are not very easy to deal with otherwise. It can also improve how well things such as this construct you are talking about, as it allows them a larger area to capture things.

[AnimalGurl]

Are you saying constructs can absorb more when they have more energy? What do you mean by a larger area? Does the density of the inside count too? I thought it was mostly surface area.

[Brilenus]

Basically, there are thousands of phases that things can be set to, and empathy/telepathy take place on a very wide selection of these phase states. If you have a construct in only one phase state, it can only absorb from that state, and a few that are very close to it. If you spread it out through a few dozen of those phase states, it can absorb from a much larger spread of what is there.

And if you set up the construct to put more effort into absorbing when it has more energy, then it can. I find that it is generally best to create a large sphere, not very dense at all, and have it convert the energy it absorbs into a more useful form, then use that energy it has absorbed to increase its own density. After a certain point, I have them set to focus the energy into absorbing more things. Kinda acts as a self-amplifying construct that builds itself.
