Before directing this energy outward, however, the key to controlling it comes from within. In order to become more closely aligned with it, you can practice making your vibrational level more closely match it. And how do you do that? Surprise! You meditate, or practice similar methods of altering consciousnessbecause these states create vibrational levels closer to the stillpoint. The more time you spend increasing these levels within yourself, the more closely connected you'll be to this tremendous vibrational force that permeates everything.
And what do you call this force? Well, if you're an Eastern yogi or mystic, you would call this energy prana or chi or ki. If you're a Western mystic, you could call it God. If you're a scientist, you might call it electromagnetic energy; if you're a psi scientist, you call it psi. Regardless of what you call this energy, it shows one interesting trait: It responds to what comes from within an individual, not from an external force.

When you begin to connect with an increasing range of vibrations and your own level expands, your influence may begin to spread even further. Just as becoming centered and focused helps you collect your energy and better control your environment, becoming scattered and frazzled can cause your energy to spread out willy-nilly. And because you interact and are interconnected with everything that surrounds you, your scattered energy can create similarly frazzled effects.
In other words, when your emotional intensity increases, so can your energy. And if you're stressed out, you might even see that things can start to break. This is a fairly common complaint from newcomers to psychic practices, who may not realize the value of remaining calm as much as possibleuntil they have to replace a camera, toaster, hairdryer, or a light bulb or two after their uncontrolled psychic energy breaks it.
I have a friend who is a healer and naturally exudes a strong energy field around her. She always sets off the alarms at the airport check-in systems. I haven't experienced any problems with watches or computers, but I seem to go through tape recorders, whether expensive or inexpensive, at a rapid clip. Obviously, the energy affecting these objects isn't always necessarily caused by stress. But energy associated with psychic experiences certainly has an affect on the objects around it. And you can bet that it affects people too.
We'll talk more about how psychic energy interacts with objects and events in the ''real" world in the next chapter. We'll start with Ouija boards and move onto some homegrown forms of divination. Stay tuned.
