Andrei, almost everyone who comes to UM becomes addicted. In the year that I've been here, there's been at least 2 "UMoholic Anonymous" threads

I can't actually see my psiballs. I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right. Sure, I get that tingle in my hands but, if I get it in my rioght hand (the one I focus on) I also get it in my left (which I'm not focusing on). Which leads me to believe that the tingle aint anything out of the ordinary...
I couldn't say how long it takes to learn this sort of thing. I guess a few months? Right now, TK is my big project with meditation, dowsing with pendulums, psiballs and (extremely erratically) telepathy.
TK update
I spent "20 minutes" last night practising with ab-sol-ute-ly nothing to show for it. Really. Then again, proably about 2 minutes of that was actually focused on the psiwheel because my mind was all over the place, heh. I kept getting sidetracked by memories of conversations I'd had that day, mulling over things, interesting articles I've read lately, pendulums.....
And then I tried again today in psych class with equally disappointing results, but my friend was nice enough to tell me a story about determination (the one about the two frogs in the cream who couldn't get out. One gave up and died, the other churned the cream into butter and was able to hop out. She then ended it with "You churn that cream, Potholer!").
So, anyone starting to get a bit discouraged - Don't just give up and DIE, churn that cream like you've never churned it before!
