So, I'll be keeping a log here in order to track my progress. I figured it'd be good to start with a few of my goals:

Healing: - I used to be able to numb pain (both in myself and others) when I practiced a couple of years ago, so short term I'd like to be able to wield that particular skill fairly easily, as it was something I found relatively "natural" to do.
General EM: - I don't really have a particular goal here, I just plan on doing the basics initially and getting creative as I progress. I'm thinking of using Master Orion's old set of lessons, if anyone remembers those.
Psychokinesis: - Well... psi wheel, I guess! *Runs off to find the old plastic bowl*

I might try and see some auras as well, I do that occasionally when I'm bored in college assemblies and the like :p

I'm going to start tonight by just trying to get the psi flowing, kind of like the warm up before an exercise. I'm going to read over Orion's lesson 1 as well, I always found his stuff to be pretty good.

If anyone wants to criticise, comment, advise, etc., please feel free, I welcome your input.

Okay, so, I did a quick meditation and then used an old technique to try and feel the psi around me, which worked really well, my whole body went tingly. Then I decided to try a psi ball, just to see how much I've "retained" since I stopped practicing, and I'm pleased to report it was really easy - a nice, noticeable force resisting the inward push of my hands. This was all done in the space of a few minutes (until my mother sent me to the shops. Incidentally, I tried to create a gust of wind while I was out but I don't know if it worked. I think I made the breeze slightly stronger but I'll need to test it out some more before I can give a conclusive answer to that).

When I got back, I had about 30 mins before dinner, so I made a silver foil psi wheel. I couldn't find the bowl I used to use so I stuck a large, heavy (transparent) jar over it instead I had a 20 min session trying to move the goddam thing, but it refused to budge until at the very end, when I think it may have moved an almost negligible amount. I know, I know, it probably didn't, but I can't be sure either way. I'm going to try again tomorrow evening and see if I can get it going.

Today has been more about finding analysing where I left off and picking a reasonable point from which I can start off, rather than steamrolling ahead. It's been a good "welcome back" to psionics - my EM seems to be relatively okay even after a couple of years break, so hopefully healing is something I'll be able to pick up, maybe in a few weeks, without much faffing around with the very basics.

Also, I think I'll put my techniques up here whenever I get something going right, just in case anyone reading this is interested to see how it worked for me, and so I can reflect back on it later on.

Absolutely shattered today - didn't sleep at all last night - so my practice today has been next to nothing. Hectic day at school, then running all over town to tutor kids, then back home to do schoolwork... ugh. Still, I have done a little (very little) and actually got some pretty good results, so here we go.

I didn't do anything PK related, I just don't have the mentality for it today. However, I did some basic EM again - feeling psi, making psi balls - and that seemed to go fine, even with my fairly bad concentration levels today. I was also pretty sore from exercising today so I decided to try and heal the pain a little bit. I did a little on my lower back and some in my thighs and calves, and to my utter astonishment I actually felt a small difference! My legs feel less weak and my back felt a tad better for a short period of time (whilst I was sitting down), which is pretty cool. I'm eager to try this again tomorrow when I'm feeling slightly more up to it. I think I'll sit on my leg to induce pins and needles, then try and numb the sensation away. Watch this space!

[MonkeyFace]

Did a little EM today... I made a construct and tried to program it but I don't know if it worked. I don;t suppose anyone could scan it for me and tell me what they see? Size/shape/what it's doing? It'd be really helpful if... thanks in advance.

I managed to successfully numb the pins and needles in my foot, though I visualised white energy flowing into my foot, personifying it as healing energy, and visualised my own foot and leg as full of green "good" energy with red "bad" energy where I had pins and needles. I just concentrated on the healing energy going in, flushing out the bad energy and replacing it with good energy. I had to do it a few times, though. The sensation gradually reduced after each time until it went away completely. Win!

EDIT: I had someone scan my construct. It was supposed to draw energy from the moon, hold itself together as a ball and spin the psi wheel. The psi wheel thing didn;t work (which I expected), but the construct was drawing energy and KIND OF held itself together. They said it was a bit all over the place but basically in the same region of space as it was when I left it. I tried to get it to hold itself together as a ball and this time it worked; apparently I put some kind of shell over it that held it together a bit like a rubber seal. That's something, I guess!

So, I just happened to be looking through an old(-ish) thread in the forum (http://shiftedperspectives.net/forum/index.php/topic,2003.msg22148.html for anyone who's interested) about anchors, and I suspect I've anchored the cupping of my hands to forming a psi ball (Yamitenshi's post), as when I tried to not use my hands yesterday I found it far more difficult then when I use my hands, and having quickly experimented a few minutes ago, any cupping of my hands seems to automatically start off the process. So, I'm going to do some mental exercises to try and correct that and practice a little later on. General energy manipulation is an important skill so I'd like to have as much flexibility with it as I can.

I did a half hour meditation today about how my psionic abilities are improving at a rapid pace. I felt really relaxed afterwards and went straight on from that to some psionics. I can feel psi pretty much on demand now, which is useful. My legs and arm were aching (partially from the exercise I did today, partially from falling down the stairs ), so I decided to heal them. I did my left leg first and compared it to my right leg when I was done - the difference was noticeable, so I healed my right leg as best I could, then my arm. I'm not completely free of pain but it's certainly better than if I hadn't done anything at all.

My method for healing is pretty simple at the moment. I imagine a layer of energy slowly cocooning whichever area it is I'm trying to heal, then I guess I just try to "feel" it better. I let the energy do it's work, the cocoon unwraps and there is some lessening of pain. It's still small but it's definitely noticeable. I'm hoping to take this further as often as I can, so I'm planning to heal any aches and pains I get from exercising and generally being clumsy

After that, I tried to make a construct without using my hands, just to see if there has been any progress on that front. It was actually kind of weird; I had my eyes closed while I was concentrating and in some weird way I think I "saw" the construct as I was making it... I'm not really sure what I did (if anything at all) but I'm hoping to find out from a more experiened psion sometime soon. I'm going to get someone to scan my construct tomorrow and see if it's still around, doing what it's supposed to do.

[MonkeyFace]

Wow... had a hell of a weekend. Had a pretty bad meltdown type thing. Did no school work, no psionics, no nothing. Still... personal growth and all that. I will resume my psionics activities tomorrow and get started on the research I must conduct for the SPPRA.

Also, I spent a short while today thinking about it and I believe I'm going to concentrate on healing as my primary focus. Not to say I won't be dabbling in this and that, but I feel as though its something I'm "supposed" to do (if that doesn't sound too ridiculous). Primarily I am going to try to just improve my method of numbing pain and until it's a quick "flush it out" exercise I can do (at least when I'm doing it to myself, I suspect more care will be needed with other people).

I suppose we all have those natural feelings we have towards certain aspects of psionics.  For me, it's shielding.  But that doesn't mean I limit myself to just shielding.

Broaden your horizons always.

Adfeng, healing and aurareading is sort of in his blood, that's most likely why it feels natural to him. His grandfather also seems to have great talent in it. Nevertheless i do agree, broading your goals is vital and so i'll probably bug him to do other stuff now and then...

So it is in mine, in a way.  Like I said, I agree that one should focus on the talents they have naturally, if any(I'm sure all people have natural talents in psionics, they just don't know it), but should not narrow their studies and practice to that only.  Everyone should expand their experiences with different parts of psionics.

Take things slow if you're having a tough time in life.  I forgot to mention that.  Don't push things too hard.

Monkeyface welcome back buddy. Hit me up on facebook we can chat about everything PK. My name is Eugene Vasilevskiy. Actually who ever has facebook add me. Peace.

By the way practicing a lot in my experience doesn't make you better. Once you get the basics of Energy Work and you're comfortable and focused it just works automatically. You just need to have a certain set mind and mentality when doing PK. It gets easy after that. Just don't over think it when you can't do PK on a certain day, it's not because you can't but because of your frame of mind. How you think, how your thought pattern runs all reacts to how you succeed in PK. I hate psi wheels by the way, but I'm happy you're movig it a little. I can't move a psi wheel at all anymore. I find it tedious.
