Energy Manipulation is the sub category in psionics where the user can manipulate and work with many different forms of energies. The ones I'm familiar with are psi, chi and core. They have their own level of intensities but are mainly the same thing. Though each one can be used differently.
Definition Of Psi- Psi is our biological energy that revolves around us constantly. It is that energy that keeps us alive. With psi we are able to do these incredible mental feats.
Creating Your First Psi Ball- When I tried to make my first psi ball, I remember it took me a week to learn to do it properly so don't give up if you can't feel the magnetic repulsion just yet.
Proper technique for creating a regular psi ball for beginners- Cup your hands together and imagine white stream of energy flowing into your hands forming slowly into a clump of psi. As the energy flows into the hands feel it getting bigger and bigger. You'll see that you've created a psi ball.
Various techniques in Energy Manipulation
Conceptualization- In conceptualization you're coming up with a feeling and a thought and using them to create a manifestation. Try doing that to create a Psi ball.
Tactile Visualization- This is one of my favorite. In this technique you use your senses of feeling to build up psi. In order to do that you have to be fully aware of your self and your psi energy. This is a good opportunity to practice the psi ball with this technique, because it is the most fun out of them all.
Visualization- In this technique it's obvious you imagine images to get some manifesting going on. Its explainable on it's own, so for example for a psi ball just imagine energy building up in a particular place into a clump of psi.
Grounding- Grounding is used to filter out unwanted energy from the body. When your body goes through an energy overload or you feel tired the solution might be to ground your energetic body. To do that you'll have to picture vines coming from the ground connected to you. Now give up that unwanted energy to the earth through the vines. You'll see you will dramatically gain some energy flow and feel better.
Direct Intent- Alright this is my favorite technique. It can be done in many ways, with eyes closed or open. Now in order to do it you have to be certain you believe in psionics and of little doubts in your mind. Also it takes some practice in energy work before you get of any success. The mind works alone here, you just have to think of a certain thought or even will it to happen and it will. For example I'm standing outside and it's not windy and I want to make it go wild how shall I do it. There can be numerous of ways, I can use tactile thought to create the wind or look at an object like a tree and it will start going crazy. Or I can focus on sounds that the trees make as they rustle and increase their rustling.
Charging- This technique is practically useless but can be useful if you want a quick burst of energy if you're not experienced in psi. Basically you create a link between you and an object and drain energy from it to you until you get a desired effect. Warning of energy overload and nerve damage. We already have psi in our selves that sustains us and the extra outside only just hurts us.
Shelling- Shelling is a technique that is used in energy manipulation to harden and encase a construct for the energy to stay and not leak out. In order to do that you'll have to create a psi ball and use any of the techniques listed above to create a hardening of the psi ball. Try imagine it turning to stone or a metal ball. Now program the energy not to leave.
Different Things You Can Do With A Psi Ball- There are so many things you can do with a psi ball it's ridiculous :). After all it's a construct and it can be manipulated and messed around with in so many ways you can't even even count on it. Here's a few.
1. Stretch it into a long string.
2. Make the psi ball really big
3. Make the psi ball in one hand and then transfer it to the other.
4. Make two psi balls
5. Hot or Cold Psi ball
6. Shell The Psi ball to a thickness as best you can.
7. Make a psi ball stick to something.
Shielding
Different types of shields
Common shield- Make a barrier of psi around your body that prevents outside energy from coming in. It doesn't take much skill and is your standard shield.
Mirror shield- Make a barrier of psi around your body and program it to reflect outside energy.
marshmallow shield- make a goo like shield around your body and make the goo trap the energy coming from the outside. You can then manipulate the energy as you wish.
Layering Shields- Layering goes a great deal and helps with protection so if you need extra defense keep that in mind.
