I know that a lot of people have questions regarding something in psionics and don't know the answer, nor can find it, so here I am to help.  Please post your question and I will respond as quickly as I can back to you on this thread.  I will do my best to answer questions quickly and accurately.  Feel free to ask any type of question, even if you think it may make you seem not knowledgeable in psionics.  That's what a FAQ/Open question thread is about.

Hey very good thread for newbies like me .   
my questions
1 ) Does psi have different feelings ?
like do we feel different when we make a psi ball of electricity than when we make a psi ball of heat ?

2) when you make a psi ball at a different location where you are not physically present say from your own house you make a psi ball in your friends house . How do you know you have actually made one ?  ( when i make a psi ball i feel a magnetic push between my hands and when i try to bring closer my hands fell like i am pressing a balloon . that's how i know i have made a psi ball)

3) i read in a self hypnosis course that when you go into a trance and you keep your hands in a position in which you make a psi ball you feel magnetic pushes between hands . before reading this i reallly thought i made one . now after reading this i feel may be it was just self hypnosis . any advice ?
thanks in advance .

1.  Depending on the person, psi feels differently.  For example, to someone it may feel like staticy, but to another it may feel like a magnet, and to another it may feel cold or hot.  It simply depends on the person.

2.  You can scan to see if you have made it.  See some articles on how to scan.  This is one of the first abilities you should learn.

3.  Try to do it without using any type of self-hypnosis technique.  It is best to perform psionics without outside help from other things such as hypnosis, unless necessary.  The less help you have to have to do things, the better.  It's always best to figure out things for yourself without using self-hypnosis or any other type of help.

thank you sir for your answers
well i checked all the articles in energy manipulation articles section , i am unable to find a good article on scanning . Can you tell me about a  really good article on scanning

and also there are many books out there on psionics . should i prefer practicing from these book or online content such as articles in shiftedperspectives.
thank you

Our site is not the only with articles or guides or anything of the such.  Do a quick google search on "scanning psionics" or something similar and you will find results.  http://shiftedperspectives.net/articles.php?id=61 I found that by googling "scanning psionics."  You can read that one, but also do some research on scanning and how to scan.

1. I was never good at scanning, I tried for half a year and I still can't feel much of energy, is there any quicker way for me to master this scanning thing?
2.Does this count as scanning? Even though I have my headsets on ear piece on full blast, I can't hear anyone entering the room or leaving the room, I am focused on my computer (gaming) I still know when my mother/sister or father enters the room or leave the room.  At times I even know that they are near the room or entering the room in a few seconds. It just happens. So is this scanning or what?

1.  Scanning is sensing or seeing the energy.  I simply close my eyes and think of the person/thing/object I want to scan, and then I see it.  That doesn't work for everyone, but it does for me and some others.  Search around online and find out different techniques for scanning.

2.  It's not really scanning as much as being aware of your surroundings.  When I'm away, I can tell if someone has been in my room since I've been gone.  It may also be some sort of remote viewing that happens naturally, as you are able to tell whether it is your mother or sister or father approaching a room.  Try remote viewing and see what kind of results you get.

hey i tried shielding 2 , 3 times
i first filled myself with psi and imagined a bubble of psi . i felt tingling  sensation all around my body . first i made 1 that was supposed to last 2 hrs . as soon as my attention drifted to other things i forgot about shield and wasn't able to feel anything . then i again tried and was able to hold it for 2 hrs but i had to consistently think and imagine the shield for 2 hrs . as soon as i stop thinking about it i don't feel anything. i even tried taking for granted method like just know it is there but that dosen't give me that feeling .
what to do ?
how do you know that you have made a shield and is lasting for say a day or two ?

Either have you or someone else scan your shield to check to see if it is still there.  You may want to investigate a self-sustaining programming for your constructs/shields.

Questions! I can think of a few.

1. Where should beginners start with psionics? And to make the question more specific: let's say I want to learn advanced constructs, but I know nothing. I can't feel psi, don't even know if it exists, etc. Is it possible to give me a quick rundown on what we should learn first and afterwards?

2. Are there good books on psionics? If yes, which ones? If no, any idea why not?

3. Benefits of practicing psionics?

4. Disadvantages of practicing psionics?

I could ask more, but I'll let you answer first.

1.  I believe that scanning and energy manipulation(in that order or together) would be the best to start out with.  Scanning will give you the ability to make sure what you made works, and the ability to check other peoples' constructs and things.  Energy manipulation will let you get the basics down of how to work with energy.  There are many more advanced things you can do with energy manipulation, but stick to psiballs and simple constructs.  You can do more "advanced" constructs, but don't get discouraged if they don't work.

2.  I haven't read any books on psionics, so I wouldn't know.  Just remember:  Anything you can pay for, you can usually get better for free.  There are a plethora of psions out there willing to share advice, like now, about how they practice.

3.  You may notice after practicing for a few weeks, you may be able to focus better and clear your mind easier.  You could feel a little more relaxed.  There are many things that can be beneficial to you when practicing psionics.

4.  No major ones that I can think of.  You may find yourself more "vulnerable", so to speak, when dealing with emotions, if you go into empathy.  There are of course ways to prevent empathic overloads and the such with shielding.  The only thing I suggest is be careful in what you do, because if you don't know what you're doing you could hurt yourself or others.  If you ever have any doubts about something, ask me or someone else about it before you do it.  The worst thing you can do is if you have a question, not to ask it.  That's what this thread is here for.  You can list as many questions as you want and I'll try to answer them.

Yah! I've always wondered if it is scanning... I find myself roused from sleep when someone is at my door with intentions such as want to wake me up, get something, borrow etc.. And would find their faces funny when I say their name and open the door before they even knock...

Thank you for answering. On to more questions:

1. Are there limits to energy work, telepathy, telekinesis, empathy?

2. Self-hypnosis, binauarel beats, ... are supposed to induce trances and/or OBEs. Are there downsides?

3. Can you get a "muscle cramp"? As in when you train too hard for too long, are there any adverse effects?

4. I've heard from some people that empathy is a curse and not a gift. They've told me that they developed serious mental injuries/defects to themselves, just by using it. They would not specify what kind though. Thoughts?

5. I developed a mental block with my telekinesis, that I have to have my hands near the object and that the object should be susceptible to air. For instance, I cannot move the psi wheel when there's a bowl over it. If there's just the tiniest amount of opening left: I can move it. If there's none, it won't budge. Any ideas on how to deal with it?

6. Any advice for that matter on how to not place mental blocks upon yourself?

Last one, not really psionics, but still related: I've heard magick and psionics are the same. I assume everyone thinks about this differently, but what do you think?

Last one, not really psionics, but still related: I've heard magick and psionics are the same. I assume everyone thinks about this differently, but what do you think?

1.  I suppose theoretically there are none, but I doubt as humans we will be able to stop bullets or anything like that with telekinesis.  I don't think anyone could control everyone's mind, and I don't think everyone is able to read everyone's emotion.  Anything can happen in this world, and it may have happened in other places outside of Earth(if there are such). 

2.  I really wouldn't trust binaural beats.  There are some that could adversely effect you and your brain badly.  I advise against using them.  Self-hypnosis seems fine.  Not only could they hurt you, they also will make you dependent on those specific binaural beats to make your brain enter that state.  It's like an addiction.

3.  Yup!  It's called an overload -- it's when you push your mind and body too far when using psionics.  For example, if you were practicing seriously for the first time, and you did that for 2-4 hours, you might experience a bad headache/similar effects.  If that happens, you need to take a break for a day or two, even a week if needed.  The general rule is if you start getting a headache, feel bad, or anything like that, stop for the day and see how you feel tomorrow before continuing.

4.  Empathy, in a way, could lead to one becoming schizophrenic, manic depressive, etc. but I think this would be somewhat rare.  I am a natural empath and I didn't shield from emotions until I was about 12 or 13 and nothing bad as happened to me(others might testify against that!).  I do recommend that you learn scanning and some basic energy manipulation before delving into empathy.  If you ever have any problems with being overloaded from emotions, contact someone and they may try to help(at least I would).

5.  You seem to think that energy can't travel through objects.  It can -- you've just made yourself believe that it can't.  I suggest having a friend in front of you with a bowl, you close your eyes, and move the psiwheel.  At some point in time have your friend put the bowl down at his/her own discretion, not from you telling them.  This should eliminate the fact that you think the bowl is preventing you from sending energy to the psiwheel.

6.  Look for small things that could cause you to become dependent on something, like using your hands or in your instance the inability to place a bowl over a psiwheel and spin it.

Last one:  I think they are independent in and of themselves.  There is magick and there is psionics.  The two to me are not interchangeable.  You should form your own opinion, though.

[Aerugo]

Thanks for the info! I'll let all of that seep into my brain for now. I'm sure I'll have some more questions soon enough.

For now, I'll let someone else ask (more intelligent) questions. 

3.  Yup!  It's called an overload -- it's when you push your mind and body too far when using psionics.  For example, if you were practicing seriously for the first time, and you did that for 2-4 hours, you might experience a bad headache/similar effects.  If that happens, you need to take a break for a day or two, even a week if needed.  The general rule is if you start getting a headache, feel bad, or anything like that, stop for the day and see how you feel tomorrow before continuing.

If I had to stop every time I had a headache, I would get nowhere. Damnable migraine! Though I suppose I've had these overloads. I just didn't know what they were and every time I got them, I stopped training altogether. In fear of doing something wrong I suppose.

Now let me go find that magick FAQ ...

[Azulo]

I was discussing this in another thread with a different member, and I would like to hear your insight on this.

Could you use a construct, or some means of telepathic power to introduce a newbie to psi energy? Could you send them enough energy so that the said person could learn what psi feels like and/or get started on basic skills?

If so, do you know anybody willing to do this?
I am unsure if what I am feeling is truly psi or not.

Thanks for your time.

[yamitenshi]

Like I said in the other thread, I suppose it's possible.

Another way to make sure it's psi is to make sure it can't be anything else. How to do that depends on what you think it might be, but try to feel it somewhere where that's not possible. So if you're worried that you're subconsciously contracting your muscles for instance, try feeling psi in the tip of your nose and in your ear lobes.

hey mate ,
i am a newbie as you know so please tell me how psionics can help me in getting a job ?

i mean the job i am aiming for is based on luck rather than on merit basis . it works through references . i do have some of the references but it ain't working out . so i was wondering how can we use psionics in this any ideas ? like i have thought of some of my own like

1) i make a psi ball of energy and imagine it that i when i release the psi ball the psi ball is going to hit the target and upon hitting he'll feel all the good feelings about me like i am a nice person , he'll remeber that he has to get my work done in case he has forgotten , etc

2) when i'll have the interview i'll create a psi shield around me that will make me feel confident all time till its up ,  and is going to give an impression when i meet the interviewer that i am a confident , trustworthy , and a competent personality.

so what are your thoughts is this stuff possible if i keep onto it ,

any more suggestions like how to favor luck on my side in this situation ?

thanks

I'm sure this could work in some sort of way.  That sounds like a good idea in planning/an idea, but the execution may not be as wondrous as you may hope.

[yamitenshi]

The best idea I think is to reinforce the idea that you possess every quality expected of a good employee. How you do this is up to you, I guess.

Note, however, that what you say in there, along with any academic qualifications and previous work experience will also be weighed in, and a lack of good references will not be ignored because you're a good guy. You'll still have to convince them.
