Hey everyone! I just found this forum and it's really awesome. K... I started trying to make psiballs like a year ago, but after a week and no results, I gave up. After finding this forum, my faith is restored and I want to try again. Anyone know good mental workouts and exercises to help with TK? Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You just have to really believe that you are making a psiball. You might just convince yourself that you did make one.

Your wasting your time. Do something better with your life, like learn a few card or coin tricks. Your time can be used in more constructive pursuits.

Well I've made a psiball before, but I am never sure if it is my imagination or if it is real. I kinda need a way to know for sure, because I am sad to say I'm slightly skeptical. If only I had started at a young age, when I would have believed anything. Anyways, what are other things I can do? I will still train, but I am not sure if my slight skepticism will hinder my progress.

I don't think belief is actually necessary. I didn't believe it the first time I tried. I think visualization is key. The stronger you can visualize the energy flowing through your arms and into your hands, the better results you will get. And it helps to not just see it, but to hear it, feel it, etc. That's how it worked for me, at least. After a while you'll barely have to think about it.

A way to test psi balls, is try sticking your hand in your freezer, or over soemthing hot, remember what that feels like, make a psi ball, and try to replicate that feeling, once you feel it in bewteen your hands, ask someone else to feel in between your hands, and ask what they feel...I've made a visible one before, I was making a psi ball opened my eyes, and saw an electric blue lining of a ball in my hands...It scared the crap outta me...

Skeptics are not stopping anyone on here from believing in what they want. They do, (On the other hand!) try and put some logic into some of these claims, as most of them seem to be far beyond reality.
It is up to the believer to except what is real, and what is not real.

Then with all respect, maybe you are posting in the wrong place. Hallucinations are easily had by a variety of means, and are no mystery at all.
If all you want is a visible psiball hallucination, then some variant on this recipe should work. Sit in the dark for about 10-15 minutes. Close your eyes. Squeeze your eyelids together. Maybe tap
gently on your eyelids. Position your hands. Open your eyes and look at your hands.
Next.

Keep in mind, this is also often the mantra of the mentally ill. I had an Aunt that hallucinated while suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, and she insisted her hallucinations were real, and no one could tell her they were not. After all, who are we to tell her that what her brain told her was real was not?
You will find hard-core debunkers here, but you will also find people here who want proof of these kind of phenomena because they WANT it to be real. So this is a place to explore the reality of things, to prove and disprove, even discuss possibilities. It is NOT a place where you'll have much luck learning to do things that are not provable. Does that make sense?

Anybody whose brain knows how hallucinations work.
And, at least with the better quality hallucinations, there's some interest in where the hallucination is coming from, and what it means. In the case of psi-balls, the source is comic books, and the meaning is that there are people so alienated from their own bodies that they don't recognize what fatigue feels like in their forearms and hands.

Could not have said that any better myself.
Except I believe psi balls came more or less from the cartoon DBZ which was huge in the early to late 90's. It was at this time I noticed people claiming to make balls of energy similar to that in the show online and it's been like this ever since.

Psi-balls are a lot like chi-balls in Tai Chi. I don't know if that's where it came from, an ancient eastern form of moving meditation and exercise, but it's possible.

I am not saying that they were better treated by the
k-team, but there was at least something to discuss, including the authentic role that visualizations as such might play in therapy or athletic performance.
That's not what the issue is in psionics. The psi debate turns on whether there is anything between the psi-meister's hands besides air, yes or no.

"Scientists" doing PK experiments who discover "this unknown energy" somehow don't ring true as "leaders of the skeptics."
But hey, prove me wrong. What scientist(s) started psi? Which skeptics did he, she, or they lead?
