Condensed Guide to Psiballs

[Rowan_Wulfram]

Welcome! 3nodding

Every person has energy flowing through them. A person's life energy flows by passing through many 'chakra points' that are precisesly located in one's body. Using these points and strict body and energy awareness, a person can control this energy and use it for more positive means.

First things first. Just what are psiballs?

Psiballs are a concentration of energy that a person can produce outside their body. These often small energy entities are usually used for the practice and sharpening of a psychic's skills. Psiballs can also be used to heal, communicate, and can carry simple messages over great distances. I have also heard of psiballs being developed into guardians; gaining their own personalities.

In the next several posts I will discuss the basics of Psiballs and their uses. Please bear with me, this is my first tutorial. If any one has questions, things to add, different techniques, or some good sources, I encourage you to post and help everyone out. Including me. rofl I hope this tutorial will be useful.

Getting Started/Summoning your Psiball

The first thing any beginner needs to do is learn how to get their energy flowing. There are different ways one goes about this, but I find starting out with some good soothing music helps for the first few times. Something relaxing, but usually helps if it has a steady beat, this can somewhat get the 'pulse' of your energy. My personal favorite for this kind of relaxing energy flow is Robert Miles, though I'm sure the most effective music changes depending on the person.

Just sit or lay quietly and learn to be aware of your body. Visualize the energy flowing from the top of your head all the way to your toes and back again in a constant circle. If you feel some 'energy blockage' where you can't feel aware of a certain part of your body, don't concentrate on trying to free it up. Just like debris in a river; as the energy flows around it, it will naturally unclog on its own.

Next is to concentrate on individual parts of your body, and since we are studying psiballs, that will be your hands. Focus on your hand, (just one. It's best not to split awareness just starting out.) summon energy from the rest of the body into your palm. Now, some people I have found have trouble getting their energy to go from one point to another. It is best to take an object with your other hand and trace a path from where the energy is trapped to where you want it to go, in this case, your palm. (a paintbrush seems to work best for me.) Focus solely on the tingling feeling you are leaving as you trace it to your destination, then allow your energy to follow that path you just forged. It can sometimes take a few minutes to complete this task, so don't get fazed. Once you can feel the awareness of your hand, start pushing some of your energy there.

Ok, you feel the energy in your hands now. Focus it, condense it, morph it a little, then gently push it outside your skin till a small ball of energy is sitting in your palm. It may not actually be a 'ball' at first, just a formless blobby thing. Also how it feels differs from person to person. While my own are flame-like, a friend of mine summons psiball bubbles. This may have to do with whatever element a person is connected to most, but I don't know this for sure.

Congrats! You just formed your first psiball! Yes, it will need a little refining, but you're begining to manipulate what can be a very fun and beneficial energy.

Get to Practicing! blaugh

Now that you have conjured up your psiball, you need to start messing with it. Don't do anything drastic like start sending them across two states; if you don't practice controling your energy first (and in small doses) you will end up using WAY more than you intended. Leading to exhaustion, fatigue, and occasionally pain. Overdrawing=BAD! scream Got it?

So to start, hold your hands apart, palms facing eachother. (you don't have to keep your fingers straight, infact, curving them a little may help you form it into a sphere shape.) Summon your psiball to one hand. (which ever is dominant.) Then push the little ball of energy off your hand and 'catch' it with the other hand. NOTE: Do this ALL with your mind. Visualization is the key to any energy manipulation; DO NOT move your hands when you move the energy. Also preferably do not follow the energy's movement with your eyes, even under your eye lids. There are a few exceptions but generally it is best for your visualization skills to not use your eyes. Pass or 'bounce' the psiball back and forth between your hands a few times. Every once in a while 'hover' it between them. This basic exsercise will help later on. After you feel comfortable doing this, begin to pass it through your hands. Pass from your right hand to your left, make it go through to the back of your left hand then pass it till it goes through to the back of your right hand. You should be able to feel the energy better as it passes through your body intead of just sitting on top. Also try changing the volume of it by making it bigger (but with less mass) or condensing and making it smaller.

Now that you've done the basics feel free to get a little creative. You can roll it around your hand, up and down your arm, hover it in an orbit around your head... (hey. whatever works for ya. wink ) But while your practicing try to keep it in the vicinity of your body.

All right! moving right along... next we'll discuss encasing and sending.

Sending

After you've formed your psiball, you need to 'program' it. (this is usually only for sending.) Concentrate and fill the psiball with a certain emotion or message. For instance, karasureign sent me a 'happy' psiball, (without telling me.) and I ended up having very good dreams that night. (haven't had one since. stare ) You can also cheat a bit and evoke the emotions within yourself by thinking of some one or something that brings out that certain emotion. Then you can condense those feelings into the psiball. It is also possible to simply fill it with raw energy, I believe these are called Force balls, as Niccolo said. (These are fun to freak people out with, but it takes alot of energy, so be careful.)

For the best chances of a psiball to reaching some one you need to 'encase' it. This way only a minimal amount of energy is lost on the journey. To encase a psiball, you basically have to coat it with sheild energy after it is summoned. There are many ways to make a sheild, usually it is dependent on the the person making it, like a patronus spell in Harry Potter. (wow. corney comparison, ne? sweatdrop ) You use it the same way you do to block out people's rampid emotions or keep another psion/psychic from reading to much on you. But in this case, you're keeping the energy IN instead of OUT. You see? Applying it also varies, some may condense it onto the psiball while others may wrap it.

But once you have the psiball summoned, programmed, and encased, you're ready to send it. (the process takes shorter amounts of time the more you use it.) Now you're doing a kind of secondary programming, sending it to a specific person. Envision the person in you're mind, not just their face, but their aura/psychic imprint/individual feel. You can use items that you have recieved from this person or things that are linked to them in order to get a good lock-on. Visualize the psiball being recieved a few times, (kind of 'taking aim') then push it off (pretty hard) and send it on. It seems to be best to send it in a few short spurts than a constant stream of energy, less energy is used this way. Now you can relax, because the psiball should be on it's way. The receiver may not actually feel when a psiball hits them, and depending on how well it's programmed it may stay dormant for a few hours. (like when karasureign's psiball affected my dreams.)

Start small. Send psiballs just across a room or to some one sitting beside you. Then you can start sending across town or however far you're energy levels allow.

Fun stuff to do with Psiballs! 4laugh

Now you have the basics. Here are some other useful and useless uses of psiballs. (Say that five times fast! xd )

"Flicking"- This is especially fun with others who can form psiballs. Conjure up a bouncy-ball sized force ball, and 'flick' your friends with them! You could have an all-out war if you so desire. wink

Shapes- Hey, if you can form a psiball into a ball, why can't you form it into other shapes? Form your energy into a pyramid, cylinder, cube, whatever you want, send it to a fellow psion and see if they can sense the shape! (good practice for reading energy)

Temp change- Yes. You can change the temprature of your psiballs. Fun, no? And also handy... you can warm up on a cold winter night or use cool psiballs to soothe headaches and other various pains.

"Seeing" and healing- It's not necessary to use a psiball for these, you can do this just using your energy. You can look into another person's body and "see" with your minds eye things that might be wrong with them, (usually "seen" in the form of colors) and you can draw on your's and the person's energy to speed the healing process.

Primative telepathy- though I have not personally tried this, it is possible to send thoughts with psiballs and have a basic mind-to-mind conversation.

Visible Psiballs- this takes a great amount of practice and energy, even I have not accomplished it yet. Experienced psions can actually form psiballs that can be seen with the naked eye, many say they even use the energy as light to read at night!

Ok! This is the end of my tutorial. Thanks for being patient with me, and I hope it's actually useful. Now remember, psiballs are great for starting off and for practice, but you do not have to be limited by this. You can manipulate your energy in a much broader spectrum, so don't feel that you have to stick with psiballs forever. Good luck my fellow psions! May peace and good vibes be with you. cool
