Try not to think about it in a pressured way. Your energy will flow better if you think from a point of view of love. It's not really about us & what effect we have, as much as the intent we project. we can keep trying, because no matter the outcome, we still learn something:)

I also had a tough time meditating on it yesterday night. Well, sometimes simply relaxing works better than concentrating hard.
And thanks to always learning something, we will be able to save more lives in the future. Also, the typhoon hasn't made it to the shore yet and there's plenty of time to influence it.

A few months away from the computer, and now someone effected a typhoon by decreasing it's power? Thats gotta practically drain the person doing it. But the more we learn and do, the easier it is for us to help save lives. Maybe I should get a job and move out so I can get some peace for practice. Its tough to practice at night, and on top of that, I end up doing chores around the house during the day. Leaves not much time for practice sessions, lol.
Sometimes, effecting something removed from direct line of sight requires less energy. Often part of the energy drain can be because of the battle between intention & the analytical mind:)

Actually, it's just slightly redirecting energy (which doesn't require much energy) - a typhoon contains a lot of energy on itself already. Also, size, weight and material of the object don't seem to matter.
Edit: Also, one can draw energy from other objects like Earth, Sun or other. So, what usually happens is just getting tired of channeling too much energy (which can cause injuries).
@Sting_Chameleon: I have found it amazing, just how much time one can find for pk practice with days packed of stuff to do. Other people might look at you and ask: "How the hell do you manage to do so much in such little time?" when they aren't even aware that you have time for pk practice as well.

Its all in ones ability to connect from an egoless perspective from that state of oneness access to that underlying intelligence that seems to permeate everything becomes clear and intention can utilize the available energy.

Typhoon Megi has disappeared completely, but I noticed something interesting on the map. It's as if someone has been pulsing the typhoon . Notice how it has changed from category 3 to 2 to 3 to 2 to 3 to 2. It could or could not be a bit far-fetched.
Good job everyone!
Although quite a lot of people died [Wiki], I'm sure we managed to save some.

Yes! Running water in all its speed behaves the way a fan on a windmill works. One can direct this with intention. I have been working with a small pump nozzle from a soap bottle on top of a metal container with a rim it spins as intended as a psi wheel does with wind the connection to the water is important.
My showers have now become a time of private relaxing training.
