My Grandfather is from Hawaii, My uncle explained to me as a kid that people would get mana from swimming in the surf and surfing.
My Grandfather took the time to explain to me about food and how to look at it to see the energy it contained. To eat fruit and veg that were fresh and full of vitality as this was absorbed by the body. I really enjoyed the description above because I think that it highlights a lot of the way I look at energy processing also.
Those things we consume and surround ourselves with can invariably affect our energy bodies.

In my anthropology class last semester we were taught a bit about the shamans in native american tribes. The shamans were picked and raised to live a unique and spiritual lifestyle than the others within the tribe. The shamans believed they had to cultivate manna from doing certain actions in order to take it into themselves, such as the foods that they ate and the things that they did. I cannot remember specifics but I'll look it up in my anthropology book and if I can find this matter in there I will post it as an edit.
I think that environmental PK is much the communication with the Mana or lifeforce that is in everything. One can channel their own stored mana however why do this when there is an abundance all arround just waiting to be requested directed and used.

It's interesting you mentioned that. Is it possible that one's sort of default body's stored mana can be used up then regenerated during sleep or meditation, or just refilled by willing it so?
Only reason why I ask is because this thread kind of ties in with the question I asked in another one. Perhaps maybe the reason why the psi wheel was slighty less quick to react to my intentions was because I had less stored mana than I did on the previous day?
Typically I don't bother to concern myself with whether or not there's a difference in reactiveness between the two. But, after the curious past two days I figure it can't hurt to ask.
I mean, I still got results, but they just weren't as easy to get as they were the previous days.
Are there less pathways and sort of mechanics involved with directing one's own stored mana as apposed to requesting and directing the mana that's stored throughout one's observed environment.
I have read that the chakras pull energy in during sleep and I have found I pk better after a good nights sleep we need to work out an experiment using statistics perhaps to figure this out?

seems like the manna is programed to specifications
depending on our inner most directives. like an energetic key...
and this key can be calibrated to gain access for communication and interaction with other energies in and around us and other objects. i think the sky is no limitation if done with respect and consideration. " requested, directed, and used"
It' s like the manna acts as sort of a buffer
between actualizations not in alignment with variables .
right lock[]right key
most allow willy-nilly, inner child run ammuck,
how ever it gets programed manna cultivation
and see the experienced results as a victim.

From the Taoist immortal perspective, storing & compressing energy from the environment as well as the uplift of sexual energy prepares your nervous system for more energy. So, even if you can already feel & redirect environmental energies. Your body may be overwhelmed by higher volumes or frequencies than you are ready for. It might be like squeezing Niagra falls through a garden hose. Perhaps storing energy in the body builds a stronger foundation for managing macrocosmic energies:)
Anyway, you know me; I'm the last person to project a limitation on anyone. Though, I must admit that when my crown chakras opened, I really did have a difficult time at first:)

As I pray daily (I find it almost meditative) I prayed today to have the eyes and the connection to see Mana Flow in the word around me. Cleaning up my kitchen I took the garbage out and the sun was rising. The first time its been uncovered by clouds in many days. It was bright and I closed my eyes. I felt at first the radiative warmth then a flow the wind gently began to stir and I began to understand. It is in these small moments that we can reconnect. It is always there we just need to allocate time throughout the day to listen and connect.

well o.o about the mana regeneration o.O basically.. lets suppose we are in some MMORPG game :D and u are a wizard o.o and ur mana is out o.O how do u replenish... simply o.o by resting on the floor.. like in sleeping o.o or by meditating or using a potion.. we dont have potions right now o.O so its either meditating or resting/sleeping o_o my question... how to enlargen ur mana capacity? and use more of it o.O without exhausting urself too much o.o coz... we are practically sucking energy out of ourselves right? O.o

This I felt is a good example of"Mana" 1 Marine turns away 30 Police with his projected awareness. I felt kundalini effect even through a video recording.
"In Polynesian culture, mana is a spiritual quality considered to have supernatural origina sacred impersonal force existing in the universe. Therefore to have mana is to have influence and authority, and efficacythe power to perform in a given situation. This essential quality of mana is not limited to personspeoples, governments, places and inanimate objects can possess mana. There are two ways to obtain mana: through birth and through warfare. People or objects that possess mana are accorded respect because their possession of mana gives them authority, power, and prestige. The words meaning is complex because mana is a basic foundation of the Polynesian worldview." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mana

Mana, prana, chi, ki, energy; it is all the same thing. To build it up can be difficult, in the book "The Empty Force" by Paul Dong he instructs you to do meditations and exercises for around 3 hours a day every day. After 3 years of doing this you will have enough energy to knock someone over without touching them.
Celibacy is a very important part of building energy, it is spoken about in many different parts of the world as being essential to energy growth. For example Paul Dong is Chinese and recommend celibacy, my guru who is American recommends it, the ancient Hindu scriptures recommend it as do many other sources.
At first I didn't believe it, I didn't believe in meditation as a means to raise your energy and viewed sex as something done just for fun. But I was very wrong, meditation is essential and celibacy is also. You see when you build up larger amounts of energy you begin to become sensitive to it. For example if I were to go meditate and do my Japa (mantra recitation) I would feel good afterwards, this means it was right action. But, if I were to go masturbate or have sex and orgasm I would feel worse after.
Before when I had less energy and I would orgasm I would feel very fatigued, tired and dumb. My brain felt like it had less energy, I felt less conscious. Now though, with being celibate for longer and longer periods of time coupled with my Spiritual practices I can actually feel more energy. I can feel the energy inside of my body building, whereas before I couldn't. Now when I orgasm I don't feel the fatigue anymore, this energy overflow in my body goes away instead. I have noticed that this feeling takes 2 or more weeks to come back. This is not good at all, and is a very strong example of wrong action. Doing something which takes you away from enlightenment is wrong action.
I am not saying "go be celibate" but im saying to observe sexuality and how you feel before the act opposed to after it. Make a study of it for a short while, it took me months to get to where I am now on this topic so there's no rush. If it is meant to happen it will, trust whatever Higher Power you believe in and it will guide you on the right path.
