Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't know if anyone remembers this but a while back I mentioned that I was a water elementalist but since I wasn't around water that much I was going to try hydrokinesis to keep myself in touch with it. Well, I tried it. Was is successful? It was good enough for a first try I would say. But anyway, late into it, when I had started to make real progress, I started to feel weirded out. It wasn't like there were any physical problems like dizziness, lightheadedness, whatever. I could 'see' these little streaks of light-- which I'm thinking may have been energy?-- coming from... not my head really. It's sort of hard to explain. I could sort of see the lights in my peripheral vision, or almost how you see light when you close your eyes after being in a bright place, or when you medidate you can 'see' the neurons firing... but anyway, that's what it was. So my question is: Is that normal? Is that a good thing? I stopped because I didn't want to get in over my head or something and I felt that was far enough for a first try, but I am going to try it again. Also, should you put up a shield before doing something like that? Thank you so much for your help in advance

Okay, thanks a lot! I do have a friend who is also just learning to control her abilities, so maybe I can do that with her....
