Let me start by saying that I have done a bit a research on the site as a whole, and in all it has been very informative. I've even tried a few techniques, hydrokinesis and aerokinesis specifically, though I haven't had any sucess yet.
The reason I posted this, however, is not to discuss my powers (if they exist...), but rather to understand why I cannot call on them. I know I'll get bombarded with things like "Don't expect to get it so soon!!!", but please, hear me out.
I did assume it would come naturally to me, but not for the reasons you may think. I've always held a natural affection for rain and wind (hence my choices), and I've even had several paranormal experiences. I would explain them all, but it would take too much space, and I fear I've already overstayed my welcome...let me just say that they are all accidental and uncontrolled, and have ranged from precognition to pyrokinesis.
I've meditated, concentrated, and on occasion flatulated, but for some reason I cannot focus my abilities (again, if they exist). It feels as if they're blocked up in the back and top of my skull, which is where I get most of my migraines.
I do think I need to practice because, after all, practice makes perfect, but I still think I should be seeing at least a smidgen of improvement after the first few days...any suggestions? (sorry for the lengthy-ness of it all...I get carried away...)
First off You dont have to apolagize for the length. Second off I have seen longer posts during my time on this site. Third off why would you think you have over stayed your welcome, we are all here either to learn or teach. You cant easly have one with out the other. Please elabourate on your paranormal experiences in detail. But otherwise it sounds like you are doubting yourself. The more you do that the worse you will do. But it sounds like you would like atmokinesis better than hydrokinesis or aerokinesis alone. Rain and wind(weather).
No matter what, always keep your mind open and optimistic. Of course, you should take every result with a grain of salt, although I've found that keeping a wholly scientific approach to psychokinesis is rather unsound and generates too much doubt. While most of this may be in the unknown, it also seems to fall under quantum physics, and therefore even a single stray thought can have a serious implication.
Basically I'm telling you and everyone else to brainwash yourself into believing it. Beyond even a shadow of a doubt. It's your reality to do with as you see fit. That requires a level of immersion far below your normal thoughts. Deep inside your subconscious mind, and into the heart of your instincts. There is where the seed must be planted and tended to.
I see it as such: You cannot thrust yourself into the void, even if you are aware of what might be in the void based on what you saw and noticed when you stared into it, and expect to see the void all around you. All you can see is what is outside of the void, until you get used to this unknown and appreciate its mystery. Only then will the immersion be deep enough to be substantiated into a tangible and manipulable result.
But I would like to add something in closing. I urge all of you to take a step back from the definition of psychokinesis and its children. We define it as a manipulation of reality and existence in various forms. But why do we manipulate? Manipulation implies too much negativity. I see this ability as more than a skill, rather as a connection. A symbiotic relationship with your chosen element. No, not the traditional 4 elements. Even though my connection is with the wind and air I am in no way referring to the four cardinal elements of earth, fire, water, and air. I am talking about your natural affinity. If it is telekinesis, one should feel a connection with, in most cases, their immediate and local environment, with each object registering a different sort of sensation, so you can "feel" it in your mind. If it is hydrokinesis, I would think that the average connection lies in the sight, sound, and/or direct contact of/with an expansive or simple body of water, from oceans down on to ponds. Moving water registers the highest connection. My girlfriend is a dormant geokinetic, and has felt a connection with the earth and forests as strong as I with the wind, she just doesn't know where to go with it. Sadly I can't really say what a geokinetic connection feels like, other than that it probably occurs most often in the sight of an old growth forest or a mountain range or something similar. Fire is easy, I'm sure. It's fire. lol.
However, Lumo-, bio-, and electro-, gravitakinesis, etc., would all have that same sort of connection, but it probably wont register as a dynamic connection. Meaning with the cardinal elements there seems to be a personality associated with the connection, like you're talking to it. With the rest of psychokinesis' children, besides telekinesis (Telekinesis would probably lie in its own type of connection.), it is, I think, a more static and constant connection that only varies with each individual and their state of mind. Not to put them down, or anything. It's just a different kind of connection.
Like, it's one thing to read a book and make your own revisions, and then republish it (all legal and moral consequences aside), but to talk to the author of that book and persuade/convince/encourage/ him to revise his/her book is a different feat altogether, because the author is unpredictable. The book is just a book, very predictable.
Anyway, good luck on your journey, sounds like you have a lot ahead of you. Remember, stay open and keep connected. Let us know how things go.

Well, I thank you both for your replies. The reason I apologized for the length is because I normally get yelled at by my friends for typing long sentences and words, rather than abbreviating as I did in the title.
Still, I suppose I could list a few of my..."experiences", if you would like.
I have precognitive experiences in my dreams (mainly nightmares), usually with results the next day. I also have empathic (?) connections with my family and friends, as well as people I've just met. I've performed aerokinesis only on a few occasions, once snuffing a few candles when angry with a gaurdian, once comforting/cooling myself while depressed at school. (I got picked last...again...) I've performed a crude form of self-healing on occasion (again, so I think). I had fallen from the top of the bleachers, hitting my chest, and, out of fear, clutched the area where it hurt the most and willed nothing to be wrong or broken. My chest is now deformed, a condition the doctor explains as "abnormal adolescent bone growth". And, as atmokinesis was indeed mentioned, I have, in bouts of anger, increased the speed at which the rain fell, and once, in a period of joy no less, caused lightning to strike, though that was probably just a fluke...
Oh, and wasn't Punga the one who was having a bit of trouble with some radiation?
Sorry for Changing the subject but did anyone of you had a white ring experience?what i mean is while you where meditating or just resting your eyes and all of a sudden a white ring Appears and it is clear as crystal. What is it?
And also the thing reguarding the flow of cold air basically from what i can tell you it is a form of Manipulation of energy in which you tapped into.Cause i have had it happen to me 2 to the point i almost thought my hands were going numb.. but shortly after that i went cold like i absorbed the heat out of the room and it went cold.
At that time i thought i was cryokinetic or could it be something else? Cause as i stated before is that i have Premonitions here and there,Empathy and Minor telepathy. But lately i've not been able to have a premonition episode or even a Telepathic episode either and i have myself believed that these 2 abilities have left me. But my Empathy on the other hand was when i was at a relatives funeral couple years ago and everyone else was crying i couldn't cry not in till i kneeled infront of the grave and all i could sense was overwhelming sadness and i couldn't pin point where it was coming from..
What could all this i just posted mean?
