Not so much about psi-balls

[leethal]

and for that i apologize, but since there's no "energy gathering" group, i thought i'd post it on the simplest form of psi...

This is about my question:
I was walking the other day and started gathering psi from the wall (at least i think i started doing that..) into my hand. I visualized it (it's supposed to be visualized, or imagined, right?) as a green flow from the walls into my hand. But after about 5 or 10 seconds, my hand started to get like needles going through it... and i was a little afraid of that. Was that an overload? is that normal? cause it almost hurts...

You need to adjust your body to psi flow, and it will come with expirience. Don't wory, when i gather psi my face becomes numb (imagine how that scary was !), and it is natural for this. It's not an overload. If you will have one- believe me you will know. Just be careful, when you feel pain or too strong tension-stop and wait for a while, then try again. Have fun

[leethal]

So to ajust my body to psi flow i just let it reach higher limits every time?

And where do i gather energy from to form a psiball? from my body alone? can't i use the energy from the air or the earth or something? I know this is a common question.. i'm sorry. I'm just wondering if the energy in my own body is enough to make a powerful psiball... Cause i can feel the energy flowing through my body, but i can't feel anything of the psiball...

Another thing, is the shell on the psiball a requirement for it? cause i can't seem to do such a thing. I just imagine psi flowing in a ball like in gravitational pull... like electrons and protons in an athom... or a nebulae. an acretion disk. whatever. I hope you understand. I think of a psiball as concentrating itself instead of being contained in a shell..

I want to make more powerful psiballs. Advice?

Sorry for the questions.

shelling is only really required for making it long lasting, unless you can mentally force it to keep it's shape.
You can make psiballs with your own energy. From my experience, they're more focused and powerful like that.
I also just pull together a buncha psiballs from thin air and shell them when I'm playing around. They're relatively weak though, because I don't spend time on them.

[africanprince94]

I dont really shell my psi balls, and that is your body trying to get used to the new use of it that you are experiencing.

[leethal]

Howcome you know so much?

[psidan]

They are right. Psi is like a muscle. You need to exercise it and push a little harder each time. Although just like lifting weights don't overdo practising psionics. If you start to feel pain then stop and rest for awhile. You will be able to practise for longer and harder for the more you practise.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]TELL ME![/shadow][/glow] How did you feel your psi!

[psidan]

I'm a natural at it but for the record I do all psionics conceptually.

Thinking in concepts is the most basic form of thinking the brain has. The pure will to do something. No words or pictures or sounds. Our brain usually translates these concepts into words or pictures so we can understand them.

Thinking in concepts is sort of like programming a computer in binary( 0's and 1's). Binary is the most basic form that computers think in. Thus if you make a program in pure binary it will run much faster then a program made in C++ which was designed to be much easier for us to understand but not for the computer. This is the same with concepts in the brain. Since it is the most basic form of thinking if you learn how to use psionics with concepts instead of words and pictures then your constructs or what you wish to do with psi will happen much faster and efficiently. A good place to start about thinking in concepts is this article found on the site found here. This site has some things that could be used for harm but the site is meant for healing.

Heh, I was asking leethal ;D but help from anyone is welcomed

[psidan]

I know. I just though that information might be usefull.
Yes, I'm not sure how you feel psi lethal.

Since it seems you are feeling a prickling sensation it seems that you are feeling psi. So what did you do to feel it before that happened?

Oh and btw Waterfang. Keep me updated on how your psionics progress is doing with pms. I'd like to hear.

I dont know. I started out by searching for ki or chakra based on info on oriental and indian (from India) theories. Inspired by animes like street fighter V II, dragonball, naruto, and so many others. I read somewhere that you inhale into the belly (not the chest) and exhale. this is called ki-breathing. A lot on ki is online, and some of it talked about you being able to control it with only your will. Thus, i tried sending ki to my hand. in the same way i imagine the psi now. It's all the same to me, the name doesn't matter. what matters is that i felt something... like a chill without the cold part... rushing through my arm in exactly the same place i was imagining the ki.
This of course got me hyped. Hyped but skeptical. I know what tricks the mind can play on you. So i tried and tried again, with the same results. "It still could be a placebo effect", i thought. and thus, i searched the internet again for ki, chakra or energy manipulation, and came across this site. This is my history with ki/psi/chakra/energy.

But don't think i'm any good at this yet, i am still half-skeptical. The only thing keeping me here is the amount of people i see here. I think "they can't all be trying to fool each other... and they can't all be high".. So i'm giving it a shot. If i can get no results in some time, i intend to give up.

But for now, i'm just in control of my body psi, and my psi - absorption capabilities (i can absorb it from walls, that i can feel).

Yes, that's it. If you want to feel psi, try getting it from a larger source. Think of the earth as an enormous reservoir of psi. As you're walking through the streets, place your hand near the wall as you walk, and imagine picking up energy that is "atracted" to your hand (i invision it as green thick lines flowing from the wall converging to my hand. as if your "psi-empty" hand was a magnet and the wall was full of psi-metal chips. but focus the psi you gather in your hand, by imagining the psi-flow from your body to your hand blocked.

Like this, i was able to feel almost pain in my hand. I'm almost sure it was psi, cause i tried sticking the other hand out in the same position just to see how it felt like (without trying to absorb psi) and i felt nothing.

So that's my story. I just need help training psi-sensing skills...

[psidan]

Ah I see.

Yes, that is true. You can gleam psi from virtually anything. A wall is made from earth and since you can gather psi from the earth you can therefore gather psi from the brick.

I personally would go for the conceptual way since it is the simplest way for your brain to process and just getting an idea, without words pictures and sounds, is much easier in my opinion then trying to think of a complex series of words and pictures to program psi consctructs, more oftenly sheilds and psi pets.

Oh and by the way, if I was high, drunk, or mentally unstable I doubt I could type like this. Also I don't take drugs or drink.

(I'm not saying you said I was.)

[zbuksi]

You can gather energy from anything. Form air, moon, water, sun... EVERYTHING you can imagine. Even from thing around you- everything has energy, you just need to learn how to use it.

[psidan]

True, so very true. You can even take energy from the mouse your using.
