Please, don't yell at me for this.

Yes, it's a newbie question, because, well...I'm a newbie. *Sigh* I can't even see my psiball yet, which is why I posted. No, this isn't a n00b question though. Anyways...

I can feel the energy flowing through me, pulsing. I can direct it into my hands, or some of it at the very least. I cup my hands, as if I were holding a frog between them, but they do not touch. I feel energy flow down my arms, and to my hands, and I feel intense heat between my palms. (In fact, the rest of my hand is generally cooler than my palms - they feel extremely warm.) I can also feel a, "magnetic" repulsion, a fairly strong one. For some reason, I can't see it, even if I try adding more energy. Also, I am not tired afterwards, I feel that energy has drained, but I seem to be immune to, "mental blocks."

Apologies if this sounded like an idiot's question. Thank you for all of the help!

[Rippy]

Er, you didn't put an actual question in that post. Could you edit it, please?
Never mind. ^^

[Kriana]

Sorry. I was hoping no one realized before I finished typing.

If you can get the psiball to stay after you stop focusing on it, then try clearing your mind and just trying to feel outward without moving. This generaly works for sensing most types of energy from what I have seen.

[Kriana]

Well, I can get it to stay while my mind is straying, but sometimes it dissipates. What does it mean to feel, "outward?" Is that like, feeling your energy outwards or yourself outwards? (Sorry, I can't seem to put this down in words at the moment.)

[Brilenus]

Basicly, you clear your mind of all the thoughts that you can, then try to expand your awareness outside of your body. Basicly, you are trying to get your mind to "feel" the energy that is around your body, rather than only what is inside your body.

Sorry that I cannot explain it better, but it is one of those things that cannot be explained...

So you want to see your psi-balls? well, how experienced are you? I have made some i could see. Not flare, but visible waving energy. I'll film it when i get a grip on it. If you want to feel a psi-ball, i yesterday felt really nautious, cause i was lying down, arms open, creating a psi-ball as big as my arms would take on them, (like, through the roof-size) and then, i started blowing all the energy from around me into it. Then i started to close my hands, and that's when i started to get sick, it was getting so cool, and then i contained it. If the room was lit, i bet it would be visible. Also, the other day tried doing one while driving. that was funny. Not recommendable, as it takes a lot of focus of the driving, but on a freeway, it's like pudding. I still don't know, but i might have popped a lightbulb off the car. I heard a little bang, but no trucks with rocks ahead, nothing around me, when i got there, the turning light was half-busted. ah, probably not me.

[Kriana]

I think I get what you mean. When I concentrate, I think I can feel the energy. I imagine it flowing in circular motions around my limbs, and that is where I feel it. I'll try again.

Actually, I just tried last night. I poured energy into it, and I still couldn't see it. (Perhaps not enough.) However, if I pulled my hands to far apart, or removed them altogether, the energy dissipated, and I had to start over again. Even when making it I do not know if the energy between my hands feels like it should. I think I may be catching or emitting energy, but am unable yet to summon it into more than an amorphous state. I'm going to try again also while visualizing the actual shape of the ball a bit stronger.

Thanks for all the help.

[leethal]

I stopped visualizing a color or a glow of any sort. I just visualize the energy itself. And i visualize my psi-ball powerful from the get-go. Then i keep pouring energy into it (from the air around me) and it really helps if you start with a big one and then compress it. but you must visualize not only the compression, but also the return of any energy lost in that process. At least that's what i do. And while you're looking at it, still visualize the energy coming in.

[Kriana]

I'll try that. How far apart do you suggest spreading my hands to start the compressed psiball? I think one of my problems is that I'm not shaping the energy as much as I should. (It's amorphous when I try, I think.) I think I might be getting better at using the energy in the air, or anywhere outside of me for that matter. Right now it's mostly coming from my own body.

Thanks for the advice.

[leethal]

you should start in a spaced area. I start by opening my arms and visualize a glowing ball. then i visualize the energy from the air around me flow into it, and move freely in it. maybe i am seeing psi, but i'm between doubt and belief. anyway, after you spend about 2 or 3 minutes sending energy into the giant psi-ball, start closing your arms until you "touch" it (since i at least don't actually touch it) and when that happens keep closing your arms and visualizing it getting stronger, more dense, and contained in the space you design. keep also visualizing energy flowing into it. By the time you compress the giant psi-ball you should feel some reaction in your body. I know i did. when you have it small and oh-so-powerful, do with it what you please. Me, i was shocked by my body's reaction , so i just dissipated it.

[Kriana]

I'll do that tonight, or at least try. If it does work, next I'll work on getting a psiball with less space and effort.

[leethal]

you can do the same thing without extending your arms at all. it just helps the concept. after all psi is supposed to be mental.

[pyrokinetic]

I list people down based on skill. Blue psi-above average yellow psi-beginner green psi-average purple psi-someone who trys but fails.

Also, this doesn't meen you are that if psi to you is that color. That's just how I see it. I made that up. Don't think I called you a begginer, etc.

[GEOvanne]

mabey you should try adding to the psiball for a long time. say about 10 minutes
