While Making A Psiball... (Pro's Don't Need That)

[NightHawk]

I have a problem while practicing on psi balls,
firstly, when i stand there for a long time with opened hands i get worried because i get paralyzed (maybe i'm just imagining, its because my hands hurt a little bit),
secondly i used to feel coolness and heatness at the same time, and thats only on my first time. But now i only feel heat, so did i start good at the beginning and then i'm getting bad or am i improving?
(thanks for reading)

I haven't heard of temporary paralysis being an effect of energy manipulation. But feeling heat or coolness is common for a lot of people. Other effects include tingling sensations or pressure. If you're unsure that you're making a psiball, perhaps you could meet a fellow psion in the chatroom and ask them to scan your psi ball for you. If not, then just keep practicing. When you can consistently make one, usually you can tell.

As for the change in effects from both coolness to just heat and coolness, well it may be just you reacting differently to psi. Chances are your skills aren't declining if you're practicing.

Thanks For Reading,
Yesterday I practiced more psiballs, and it was totally different from what i experienced the other past days, i read the article again ( i read it for about 5 times now) and i saw that 1 thing i didnt try was the part that said "after manup. energy, try and feel a door or doorknob" (anythig metal or wood.) So i did that for the first time and immediatly i started to practice on psiballs. Instead of feeling heatness and coolness, i felt my hand this time constantly FREEZING, (i was a bit worried considering my hands) and i started to feel my hands pushing and pulling. I thought maybe I'm started to do it right, (i actually saw that there was a total big difference in progress between the first day and yesterday (only 5 or 6 days), but the question is, why cant i see it?
Thanks For Reading

It sounds like you were successful in making a psi-ball, good job. It sounds like it took on the characteristics of a metal door knob, hence the freezing hands feeling. It will take lots and lots of practice for you to be able to 'see' your constructs. Usually, a technique called flaring is what you use to be able to physically see it, but it takes a large amount of patience and practice. Sometimes people flare their constructs while least expecting it.

yup i can agree with that eg
When i am playing my instriments like
cello, guitar, piano,pan pipes etc i sometimes subconsiousllly start making a psi ball i think it works the most whenever i sing after the lessson my shileds are completlly cleaned lol i think i might be to do with your barinwave state

How do u flare ultimarage?
(public posted so anyone else would add additional information for me)
and whats brainwave

NightHawk, please modify rather than double posting.

Brainwaves are the rapid fluctuations in voltage between different parts of your brain as it functions. These are detectable by a device called a 'electroencephalograph'.

There is a flaring guide under the "Constructs" Section of the articles. It will probably help more than I could.

Sorry for my double posts (Its the last time i'll do it, forgive me), i didnt know about the "modify" post so sorry, I understand that its just a waste of space for just posting two sentences)
I had some wuestions about flaring (I read the article, ok?!):
1- Until now I am able to construct and know how to manp. energy, but i dont know when do i start flaring, do I need certain requirements (experience) and level?
2- I dont understand the "flaring part" and exactly about the visualization, I need more explanation about creating cores and swirling the surface.
Thanks for reading and again, sorry for many posts (I wish if there's a way to delete themc:()

Nighthawk, this isn't just directed at you, this is for anyone who might have the same misunderstanding. When you have a question that is not related to the original point of the thread, make another thread that asks about that subject. Otherwise, you start asking the same question in three different posts. I think I've read about two flaring questions from you and a couple of psi ball questions. It minimizes confusion of posts. Heh, I feel like I'm experiencing Deja Vu.

NightHawk, you need to be solidly capable with psiballs and shelling. As an example: Someone who just made their first psiball yesterday will probably not be able to flare a psiball today. As always there are exceptions. I'll leave the details of flaring to someone else. It's not something I've ever had the urge to try, though I've got a decent grasp of the theory.

Also, if I might chip in my 2 cents. Flaring seems to cause an extremely high psionic strain, I have not personally done it (so I cant verify the strain personally) but I have exerted myself too far psionically and I will tell you right now there will most likely be physical and mental repercussions (usually temporary, but so is a broken leg) if you exert yourself too far while trying something like flaring. Thats not to say that there aren't those who can just 'pick it up' but there are risks involved and I would recommend playing around more with just making the stuff in more strenuous ways and trying to hold more for more complicated stuff. Or if you want to try conditioning yourself, try pushing your limits in energy manipulation. Not too far of course; think of it kind of like training any physical part of your being, pushing some makes you get stronger, push too hard though and you'll end up hurting yourself (maybe not badly, but the possibility is there and progress will be slowed if not brought back a few steps).

I don't like to discourage experimentation, but its always best to know the risks and get plenty of experience with just how far is safe while doing so. Just a bit of common sense is enough.

Firstly I have no clue why you think you are paralyzed.

Secondly now that you are only feeling heat means that you are thinking heat or your just hot. It dosn't mean your worse.
