First off, sorry for the long read, I hope it's not a waste of time

I used to come to this site back when it was run by JK, and i haven't really been into psionics since i left up until recently. Because I had a grasp of how to feel psi before I never lost this ability, and after reading a few articles I tried to manipulate energy earlier today. My mind is really unstable in that when I try to envision a ball of psi I tend to make anything from a pin to a vortex, with it constantly changing as I try to fix it but am unable. I don't meditate, and I believe that I need to learn to control it before anything.

During this exercise, I felt psi, but I am unsure if this is how it's supposed to be felt. At first it felt normal; it felt cold, and kind of like air meets a really soft fabric, the way I used to remember it. When I'd fail at envisioning a ball and make a pin instead, I'd distinctively feel the two points, one in each hand.

I decided to try to take in energy, as I was beginning to believe I was doing a fine job gathering it. The problem here is I was letting it into my body, but I'm unable to feel psi anywhere past my wrists. I kept going in hopes that I would feel it, and I ended up making myself feel almost sick.

I get anxiety attacks, as I have a general anxiety disorder. It felt exactly like I was going to have one, in that I was feeling an adrenaline rush and got really nervous, without apparent cause. I actually began to feel sick and get light headed too. I read an article about grounding and did it, and the feeling pretty much went away afterwards. (thanks stolide)

I have a few questions now based on what I described above, and I hope that I was descriptive enough and that the answers aren't posted somewhere else as to not waste your time

1: To properly ground using the golden roots method, do I want to imagine equal exchange between the ground and myself? And how should I know how much energy to release? ( I can't necessarily feel just how much energy I have stored, so it becomes a problem )

2: Can I actually make myself physically sick doing this? I ask because I felt like i might actually get sick if I do that again, and want to know if I'm doing it wrong.

3: Based on what I've said, are there any tips on energy gathering and manipulation an experienced psion can give me to help me learn to feel and deal with energy?

Thank you in advance,

If your using the golden roots method I remember, a good way to measure it is by breathing. Inhale as you bring pure energy in through the roots, exhale as you release the harmful energy or quality you need to Ground.

My personal favorite method if Grounding is to do breathing alone. Inhale for four seconds, exhale for eight seconds, concentrating or visualizing on relaxing and/or releasing the excess energy or psycho-energetic quality (nervousness, anxiety, fear, anger, ect) that is disturbing you. With enough practice with either method, you can eventually learn to Ground with one breath, and with even more practice it will only take a single thought.

2: Can I actually make myself physically sick doing this? I ask because I felt like i might actually get sick if I do that again, and want to know if I'm doing it wrong.

Charging, either by Generation or Accumulation, puts a certain amount of stress on your energy system. It's like stretching your physical body, or weight lifting, or running, or anything similar. Doing it to a certain extent is healthy, and beyond that limit it gets dangerous. This is why it's usually recommended that your ability to sense energy is VERY good, and that you can ground very quickly and easily, before you ever even think about serious practice with Charging.

3: Based on what I've said, are there any tips on energy gathering and manipulation an experienced psion can give me to help me learn to feel and deal with energy?

Stick with Grounding and expanding your ability to Sense energy, then after a few weeks or months when you can Sense and Ground comfortably you'll be able to learn Charging without much difficulty.
