Psychic Awareness.. sensing psi around you.. being aware of it. I need help with this.
Once I make a psiball, if I make it leave my hands, I have no idea where it is or what its doing.. Does anyone have anything I could read to help get me more.. sensative to psi? Or any suggestions ?
thanks!

There's some articles on doing that sort of thing but the best start is to just play around with psiballs for a while. You start to pick up a sense for where constructs are after enough practicing.

I think a more apropriate name would be scanning . Though scanning your own constructs is different, easier and sometimes misleading. But like DA said slowly but surely you are going to pick up your own constructs. Scanning constructs of others takes a bit more practice. There is by the way an advanced level of scanning where you not only can scann psi based constructs, but ki, astral and others as well. DA (The Devils Advocate) would be an example of this level . If you need someone to practice scanning with try our IRC chat (if there is anyone there), PSC chat or PsionicsOnline chat . Good luck!

Actually Innerfire said it in this thread. And Psionic Awarness is a very good term for something we could also call 'passive scanning', that is your general 'do you notice it' factor in psi. What catches your psionic attention. Eclipse, for your reference, scanning is to psionic awareness what listening intently is to just hearing. You pick up on sound either way, but the intent listening lets you hear more of what you're listening to (usually) but frequently at the exclusion of a lot of the things around you (if you're listening for something specific). You can usually heighten what you hear in a general area by trying to pay attention to everything. You can do the same with psi. In addition to what Innerfire and confuded suggested. You can also just take a few moments and see if you can 'notice' anything in your immediate area. You'll eventually start picking up on high concentrations of psi whether they be constructs or just someone who has a great deal of raw psionic power. ~The Devil's Advocate

Thanks ! Very helpful! It sounds hard still, but I think I can start trying to feel it now. Thanks!

It's not as hard as it sounds. It just takes a little practice to get the knack. You already know how to focus that kind of attention. You've been out side and tried to listen to all the birds at once. You've tried to listen to just one friend when you've got 2 friends and your mother clamoring for your attention. It's just a matter of learning to apply skills you have already developed with sight and hearing to psi. And most of all... learning to trust what you sense! The confidence in one's scans tends to build more slowly than the actual literal accuracy of said scans. ~The Devil's Advocate

can someone please explain what is happening to me... I have always been really sensitive to crowds, and had some sort of fear of them (especially in a private crowd like a local religious place that i may go to regularly, and it gets really bad when there are girls there-i will fell like there is a burning needle in my head, and ill turn around, and ill have a girl staring at me....
ill be sitting on a bus, and i will feel a strange feeling-sometimes this burning needle feeling, and ill turn in the direction i feel its coming from, and there is a lady staring at me....
i had a similar situation, where someones wife was talking to me, and she was sortof flirting with me while she was talking to me, and i felt this needle thing...
sometimes ill be by a extended family meal, and i will feel like really sudden mixed feelings, and if i look around, i can match them strait to their source-looking at the peoples faces, and concentrating on how they talk...sometimes i am able to say or act in direct conflict with a negative environment, and totally make everyone feel good, and have them smiling and happy, and alot of the time i feel this racing of all the feelings of different people, and they they may take me over, and i dont feel very good when im done, almost like i feel like i wanna change the world and im outnumbered....
the family has a little girl, and she is very stubborn, and goes to nobody but her parents-sometimes not even her sisters, but for some reason she always comes to me and feels comfortable with me, as with the rest of the kids, even when she's crying. and she always feels better when she comes to me, and for some reason i can feel what to do and what to say at any given time, that will always be the right thing for way people feel...
i read up a little, and i think it has something to do with empathy-and i need to know how to shield, so if anyone can tell me what this is, how to control it, and how to perfect it and use it to the best of its potential, that would be great........thanks

This article is fairly good for starting out on shielding: www.psipog.net/art-outline-to-shielding.htmlWas the first one I ever did. And as an added bonus it even gives an empathy shield as an example. It's a basic one but it might help, and it should be better than nothing until you know how to make better ones. This one is slightly more advanced: going into the bubble shield: www.psionline.org/2007/10/newbies-guide-to-shielding.htmlI'm supposed to be doing math homework (well should have done it about 2 hours ago, goofing off). If no one else finishes things up I'll come back to you.

k, so u do think that i have natural empathy? ? oh, and im looking through the shield area, and i just wanted to know what shield would work the best, and how to i control it-i dont wanna totally suppress my ability. (and can a shield help you not get hurt physically, or absorb some of the impact? ) i g2g2 bed, but thank you for all your help... and one more thing, when you are referring to the cosmos-DA did, and how you draw energy for psi from them-what do u mean-like literally cosmos in space? ??

Em, flameon if you ever used forums then there is a 'make mew thregd' button. I think since innerfire and me already replied someone from the mods should move these few posts. flameon, please qoute the place where DA mentions that and rather do it in that thread. Shieling is not going to supres your ability, but help you control it. flameon , where did you pick up that name ;D. I thought i'll see something like vangotwilder ;D.

Could you please cite the specific thread to which you are refering? If this one where did I mention the cosmos, I'm not finding it.
Now more on your topic flameon: You do need to create a new thread for this it has nothing to do with the rest of this thread. You may be empathic, but your stories are very disjointed and your grammar makes them difficult to read. Take a deep breath and please explain your situation in detail in another thread. And please explain specifically what you feel NOT what you think it means. It's a subtle difference and it will help us help you. We're not inside your head so rely on you to tell us what is going on as clearly as you can. Drop the internet short hand. You've got enough time here to type out full sentences.
Shields do not suppress ability. They simply help you control the amount of input you receive at a given time. It is possible to completely 'lock down' and keep out ALL emotion, but such a shield is draining and disorienting and usually not worth the trouble, since it has very minimal long term benefit. It can be useful if you are under heavy attack but outside of that... (It is also difficult to fully block that kind of bombardment.) So go start that thread and we'll see what we can help you figure out.

ok, thanks DA, and confuded and innerflame... and I'm really sorry about the grammar, and i will try to improve on it. i am in school and just finished programming class, so i have to run but as soon as i get back home i will start a new thread, and i will try to explain everything there. Its my first time using a forum, and i didn't know that grammar was such a important entity in them, so please bare with me, and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and i will follow through to the best of my ability... as for DA, i would like to compliment you-you seen to be very knowledgeable, and i have never seen such complex theories and physics being given over in such detail in a post... keep it up p.s. i will try to find you the thread in which you discussed where the psionic energy is derived from and let you know................. thanks again

Bah! Too late! That's exactly what I was going to tell them DA is very knowledgeable. She's probably one of the most, if not the most experienced people on this site and she does a lot of work on studying psioncis. Also, she too is a natural empath (god I just hate using that word now!) so you two have a lot in common! Good luck!
