Places to practice...

Author | Message

Zorro

My parents are not exactly supporters of Psionics and I have a friend whose parents feel the same way. We are both very interested in it and practice apart, but would like to practice together. My question is what are some places where you could practice Psionics or PK in public? If we can't practice at home I suppose we must find somewhere else. I think that we all can agree that Psionic is much more fun when you have someone to study and practice with, but finding a location when your parents aren't thrilled by the same ideas as you can be difficult.
Any ideas?

My parents feel that same way and none of my friends are really interested in psionics... If you don't feel bad about telling a white lie and you know that your parents will leave you alone for a while, one idea is to tell them that you are doing your homework / studying in your bedroom and then work on psionics... or you can just wait until they leave the house and practice then.
Depending upon where you live, forests are sometimes calm and quiet places to practice different aspects of psionics (though they aren't good for the psi-wheel because of wind).
Mainly, you just have to get creative and figure out how to include psionics into your daily routine.
*Edit* Another one I've used when questioned about the psi-wheel was...
Mom: "Bobby, what are you doing?"
Me [quietly] : "Psionics experiment."
Mom: "What?"
Me: "Science experiment... For school."
Mom: "Oh, ok." [walks away]

What's the big deal with doing it at your house? Are either of your parents going to be actively stomping into your room or snooping around making sure you aren't doing anything out of the ordinary? If not, maybe it's the negative atmosphere for you, but if they aren't trying to stop you or don't know what to look for, how would they know?
You can just turn on a video game and music then go to work.

Both sets of parents would be very snoopy, see I am a girl, my friend is a guy. So, yes, that screws the idea of being left in a closed room together. That is why we have to find somewhere away from both houses(and parents) to practice, but where we wouldn't necesarily be observed doing something, "a little out of the ordinary." We can both drive, so getting out of the house is almost not as big of a problem as staying in.
Thanks

It depends on what you're trying to practice, really. If you're trying telepathy, then you can do it virtually anywhere quiet. No-one's going to question you both not really talking and trying to concentrate. But if you're doing psychokinesis, it's going to be hard to find anywhere that's quiet enough and has no possible outside influences that could ruin your experiments.
One suggestion is to try and get someone *else* involved in psionics, and see if you can use their house. Possibly not the easiest way, but it could work. Otherwise, try and find a public place where you can meet and will not arouse suspicion particularly. I've had a few practice sessions in the library (trying to do some work, getting bored, starting PK practice...), but it's hard if you can't find a secluded spot (luckily, my library is full of them). I mean, the worst that can happen is someone asks what you are doing. And then you can lie. If you chose your practice area right, people might not even walk by you. It's not like your average randomer is really going to know about psionics anyhow. =)

Places and times you would have sex, are suitable for psionics too.
As a rule of thumb.

Well , you cannot escape from meditation because it's helping you stay long in focus for long peroids - that you can do at home ( in your room ) .
I agree with Waldo, it really depend on the psion, for example. I try to manipulate wind with TK , so I do it in parks in the city. or when I'm alone ( or making sure no-one will interupt me ) I work on the "spining paper hanged from string" excercise in my room. etc.
share with us some of your work :)
Note: you'r the first girl I met on this site ;)

Well, I would say that we are mostly searching for a place to practice with psi wheel type stuff, things that make people wonder what in the world we are doing if we are seen. We have already found that the back of a bookstore works great for any kind of energy work or telepathy. As for a psi wheel though, that can be a bit stranger to see and even the quiet section in a bookstore isn't secluded enough.(I find it difficult to focus if we get interupted by people walking by and such.) Obviously we practice apart, but we think it would be beneficial to practice together as well.
Some things you can do anywhere and get away with it other things, well, people are going to ask questions and we aren't aiming to get kicked out of bookstores for frightening customers. Some things are naturally more explainable. For example, I was looking for auras the other day and the person I was looking at asked what I was looking at. I just "zoned out," that is an easy one.
I guess my friend and I feel the same, he can answer this for himself if he wants, but not everyone has someone that lives 5 minutes away to practice with, we are very fortunate, why let it go to waste? We just exhausted our ideas of places to do it.
Share some work? lol, I do the same things everyone else does, it is very cliche. Psi wheels, auras, OBE, a little play in telepathy, playing with energy in ones body, typical stuff. I am still very new to this, so I haven't gotten creative yet...I guess I will eventually.

Tell them "Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant with my friend's son and we're gonna move together, we will grow marihuana and sell it so we can get money for food and drugs"
Once you shock them to dead tell them "I'm just kidding! I'm going to my friend's house to practice psionics".
I bet they're gonna be thrilled about you practicing psionics after the first story.

Just wondering... Does anyone else besides Zorro have someone that they can practice with or perhaps know someone in person from the forums? Personally, I do.
Jusseppe that's hilarious! That's just about as good as the Mountain Lion sign I came across today.

I don't practice with her, but Iknow Joke-lain personally. She lives right down the road from me and it's pretty easy to keep in touch.
Outside of the forum I have some pretty odd friends. One's in a high position in a local coven, I don't know much about that side of him however. He helps me gather information that I wouldn't normally be able to get.
I have a friend who has a gift for light manipulation, he's been mentioned in previous posts. When he's over he'll ussually practice with me.
Truth be told, everyone has alot of sources in which they can gather information and practice. All they really need to do is look.

Wow Ether!!! Mountain Lion sign is the funniest thing I've seen in a while!!!
I sometimes practice with a friend of mine, I've had the best results with TK while practicing with him, we have also tried telepathy, constructs OBEs and other stuff.

I have a few friends who practice with me sometimes. Used to practice regularly with one friend whilst I was at home, and now I'm at uni I've got another couple of people interested. Time to actually start learning some telepathy! Hooray! =)

I'm always practicing on my own..
I'm a Dutchie, a Christian one, and there don't seem to be a lot of people who like to do these things here xD
Anyway, lying isn't my best skill, so I'm trying to tell my friends more about this, and as long as I tell them about it with scientific evidence, they don't mind :P
But when it starts to get more 'occult' and less understandable.. they seem to stop listening.. :\

falcon, where do you live? I am dutch also, but I don't know anybody who would like to try and practice. I do have one friend who is interested, but he wants proof... :(
And I have to get some motivation...
and Zorro, maybe you can try to find someplace to rent a room and try to practice there. Also a tent in a forrest might be a solution.

I like the tent in the woods idea :) thanks runical. And renting a room is a great idea, maybe a cafe or library, thanks again.
And Jusseppe that's hilarious! If I was that quick witted all the time, I wouldn't have to even think about this!
As for you Ether, yes, your sign is funny, I am still not a fan of mountain lions though ;)(nothing you say will convince me.)
Falcon, I hear what you say about religion and psionics. Personally I have a very strong faith, my parents as well, we just see this differently. They don't think that it is "acceptable," I guess that is the best way to put it. I sometimes think that "churched" people can be very closed off to things, personally, I don't put God in a box, but a lot of times people dismiss things as not possible, when in fact, as we know, they are.
Thanks to all of you!

just make sure it is allowed in the woods :)
And to react to your Faith and psionics (Although I am not Falcon ;))
Religion can be something really irritating, because most people who believe do not want that their believe proves incorrect. Therefor, it cannot be that thing which are said not to be possible (or forbidden) according to the holy books AND/or the laws of physics (I see science as a beelieve in this contexst) are practiced or even possible. It is like when they discoverd that the earth circled the sun and not the other way around.
My point is, if the things we can do are recognized as possible, their whole reality would fall appart. And you know that people don't like that. And most people who were "trained" to believe form an early age, are stuck in their believes.
I said that science is a believe system in this context. I meant to say that most people just assume that science is right, especially if they cannot test it themselves. That is also the case with any other believe system. It cannot be verificated, thus you have to believe. And once you believe, it gets hard to think outside that box.

Why shouldn't it be allowed in the woods? :P
Another thing,
I'm a Christian, and I do believe in God.
But it's just.. I don't think I should stop practicing Psionics or something because of that.. :\
The problem most of the time for my parents is this text in the Bible:
'... Those who practice magic arts ... their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.'
However I don't know exactly what they mean with 'magic' here.
I guess it means that I should not do things with strange rituals and such.
However, if Psionics would also be included, I'm doing something really wrong xD
One more thing about this, the Bible is written thousand years ago, I don't know if their view on magic would suit our view on magic, or Psionics.
And, we've got a small forest outside too :)
I practice there very often, it works very well for me when I'm depressed for example.
Forests are great! :P :)
