Can't do telekinesis?
Can't make a psiball?
Can't flare one?
Can't make a contruct?
Then read this and find out why:

Many of you come to me complaining you can't do all those things. The first question I ask is can you feel energy, psi?

Step 1
If you answer no, then continue reading this paragraph. If no, you may want to read this anyway or go to step 2. To feel energy please do this. Think of a song, one that is calming. Play it through your head, or turn it on, but quietly. Relax. Stop thinking. Stop feelining. Do try to do anything. Just sit there and enjoy the moment of peace.

If you are one of those who can't sit still or be quiet try taking a breath, holding it for three seconds and then blow all the air out and then breath in slowly. Repeat until you're calm.

Now I want you to stare at air. Try looking at the space between you and your hand. Sure you won't see anything, but that's not the point. Don't strain yourself. Just space out a bit. Let the music help you. Now pay attention to what you feel. Do you feel something around or in you feeling warm, tingly, good, possibly like your blood is rushing, but isn't? If yes, that is psi, energy. Good job. You have just felt psi.

Step 2
For those who know how to feel psi you may not know how to gather psi. This is rather simple. First do step 1. Now imagine energy around you and in you. You may want to imagine it was a mist. Imagine this mist coming to you, by your own will. Now feel psi, gather it to you.

Step 3
You have learn how to feel energy and gather it. Now you're going to form a psi ball. To do this do Step 1 and 2. When you gather it, hold out your hand. Gather psi into your hand. You WILL NOT see this, but you will feel it. It may or may not feel solid. Do not worry if it's hard to feel. You will get better. As you get better you can make bigger, better psi balls.

Some Problems Newbies Have:
Q. Can you make a strong psi ball one day and barely feel psi the next day?
A. This is perfectly normal. It's like walking. Sometimes the baby can stand, sometimes the baby will fall. Eventually the baby will be able to stand all the time, but it will take time. Newbies at psi are no different. Some days your grip over psi is going to be better than other days. This does not mean you've lost your skill. It means you need to keep practicing.

Q. Finding yourself getting worn out?
A. Like any type of exerise you can get tired and need to take a break and get some water. Practice psi is mental exercise. If you find yourself getting tired or sleepy, take a few hours break.

Q. Supose I don't take a break, what will happen?
A. Like exercise you can hurt yourself, and possibly hurt your abilities for a long time, though you really have to push the limits. Headaches are the first and most common signs you need a break. Feeling drained all the time is another sign. Unexplained weakness in abilities is a major sign that you need to take a month off from practice. You CAN really hurt your mind. I did. Even after months and months of not practicing much I still got bad headaches. To heal that I had to go through majorly bad healing. Don't make the mistake I made.

Q. Do you feel like you have too much energy at times and it hurts or scares you?

whenever i attempt a psiball i only end up with a cold vapor just like when i use my cryoK. what am i doing wrong?

[JediKaren]

try focusing your thoughts and energy on something warm while gathering psi.

[somerandomkid]

I vote to sticky this topic

[spiconicjude]

Well, That's not so easy.

[JediKaren]

psi isn't easy.

[icerat]

warm thoughts dont work i just get vapor what now? do i give up and focus on my talents?

[JediKaren]

you may want to take a break, not give up, from that. Strength other parts and later, when you are stronger all around come back. That's what I've told with tk.

[icerat]

ok thanx

[nightcrawler]

Why is it that when I try and feel it, my hands start tingling and nothing happens in the rest of my body?

[shiryuu]

because the energy is in your hands, i think... can you move your psi through your body?
if not, just practice, my psi was stuck in my stomach for about two days
but, what exactly do you try? if you're making a psiball, i think it's normal to feel it only in your hands...

[JediKaren]

can you move your psi through your body?
Yes. There is a skill called grounding, used to send excess energy out of your body. Sending energy through your body can be both peaceful and healing.

[shiryuu]

that was actually a question to him, to see if the energy was "stuck" in his hands
anyway, you did answer another of my questions, I've been wondering for a while what grounding is exactly...
thanks ^^

[nightcrawler]

I'm a girl...
But yes, it's like, stuck in my hands. I try and feel the energy like JediKaren says in the article, but the only place I feel the tingling and warmth is in my hands, nowhere else. I'm not trying to make a psi ball, just to feel the energy to -then- try and make the ball.

[shiryuu]

oh sorry, it shows no gender for you... so with the name i kinda assumed you were a guy, don't know why i did that exactly...

anyway, the only advice i can give you is keep practicing, and don't try to force it. my psi was stuck in my abdomen fort a while, and i couldn't get is anywhere past my shoulders... turned out i was trying too hard...
