First
of all�..What exactly is psi? The
answer is�..no one knows.
No
one actually KNOWS what psi is except that it is the energy we (psions) use to
power our psionic skills. It is not some magical power that Harry Potter would
use to cast a spell. (by the way I�m not putting down Harry Potter in any way
I�m a huge fan of the books) Some psions have theorized that psi is the energy
our brain creates when it thinks, also known as brainwaves. This seems to be a
sound theory, especially after considering that no one can prove it wrong at
this time. Now�How to gather it.
First off pick something, something that
seems to have a lot of energy working for it. Examples being: the sun, the
moon, the earth, the water, or the air.
I�m going to use the air for this demonstration considering it is easiest for me and easiest to be in contact to considering you have to breathe it to live. Now that you have something picked out the next thing you must be able to do is visualize. You know, picture it in your head, imagine, if you will, the psi in the air, not the air itself, but the psi IN the air. Picture it however you think it would look there is really no wrong way to visualize it if it works for you. Now that you are picturing it in the air, picture it coming towards you, and entering your body. Now visualize it forming a pool of sorts inside your stomach or right where your chest meets your stomach.
If you picture it in your stomach then you
might get a little nauseous or stomach cramps and may have to go to the bathroom.
If you do, then stop right there and fix the problem if you have to go to the
bathroom go to the bathroom, if you�re nauseous take a tums or an off brand or
if you don�t have access to that eat a piece of bread slowly, if cramps you may
have to go to the bathroom or eat something. If you gather it where your chest
meets your stomach then your heart rate may drastically increase. If that be
the case stop right then and there and start visualizing it lower. I don�t want
anyone having a heart attack and blaming me. Another likely side effect no
matter where you stored the psi is a small headache or heartburn. For the
heartburn I would recommend the tums also however the bread will not work for
the heartburn if you get the headache an Ibuprofen, an Advil, or a Liver
Killer, errrrr�.I meant Tylenol, will do the trick.
Once
you have fixed the problem get back to where you left off. If you have problems
then let all the psi go and then pull it back in and repeat this a few times
until you don�t have any more side effects. It�s just like physical exercise if
you don�t use it then it might hurt for a while until you get used to using it.
Another thing that might happen is you get exhausted and fall asleep�.let me
tell you�this is one of the best naps you will ever have.
If you have pain then it will go away in time and more practice, just don't over-exert yourself that WILL most likely cause pain.
That concludes the �Gathering Psi� portion of the guide. This is a necessary step for ALL basic psionic skills and some not basic.
