Very strange... I'm never drained...

[azaelius]

This is unusual. Whenever I make psi-balls or any other construct, I can keep making them for ages or just keep adding psi into them, and yet, after very large amounts of time, I still do not feel drained. Ever.

When I do TK, however, I get headaches.

But I don't do TK anymore, at least for a while, so I can build on my psi energy foundations.

But has anyone else had this, where it just seems like you don't run out or you don't get tired? Any theories would be great, thanks.

I guess it's not a bad thing, I just thought it was unusual, as I see mostly everyone is the psi section mentioning feeling drained after working with psi or constructs or whatever.

I usually drain at TK when i try different methods, but i don't get tired when making psi-balls unless i'm attenpting too flare it.

[azaelius]

Ah. Maybe that's it, then. I've never flared, nor do I intend to for a while.

You know, I was thinking...I know Chi is not part of anything we do here, but maybe the fact that I practice QiGong helped strengthen my Psi a little.

Meh, then again, maybe not. Whatever. I' just glad I don't run out of Psi too easily. Makes practicing the Psi Fundamentals easier for me.

;D

Thanks for the response by the way.

For those who feel drained when doing things: Try making a weak construct that will listen to further instructions you give it, and draw energy on its own. Send your will through the construct. This should result in the same things getting done, but using less of your own energy.

Same thing happened to me to, headaches was kind of an after effect of stopping my TK practice.

I read on some site that there I different types of natural born psions. On of the types was called a born-on or battery type. Basically it means they have and generate a lot of psi internally. I assume that is the reason, it seemed to be true even before I started Tai Chi practice. The body could be used to high levels of psi and when we do TK it kinda starts withdrawal symptoms (psionic style). That maybe or may not be the answer but it is the best I could come up with.

omg thats so genius ive gotta try that, i usually get drained after 2-3 constructs ( that fail )

If you can form psiballs and constructs easily, but telekinesis drains you, then play to your strengths!!! For example, you can program a construct to automatically absorb energy from an outside source (like the earth, the sun, the stars, etc.) and channel it to you whenever you are feeling drained. Or you could skip telekinesis altogether and simply form constructs that will do it for you! (Like if you wanted to use telekinesis to move a pencil, you could program a construct to move the pencil ... probably.)

Ah, but you see, TK is one of my major strengths as well. At one point I was able to roll a straw fairly easily, and this was only after about 2 month's training. But, school, family, and other...stuff... got in the way, forced me to abandon training, and now TK is tiring.

But thank you for the advice! I don't thin I'd want to program a construct to move anything for me until I could move the object myself.

And you know, I feel weird drawing energy from anything but myself. I produce a LOT of it, so I see no need to draw from anywhere else. What I've come to hypothesize is: the reason why TK drains me, is because I am forcing out psi at an unfocused and un-controlled rate when doing it. I'm basically BLASTING it at the object without realizing it, whereas when doing psi constructs, it's very focused, and I know EXACTLY how much I'm putting in.

What do you guys/gals think of that idea?
