I've always been somewhat connected with fire. When I was younger, I used to be able to  manipulate the flame on a candle, but I stopped when the focus caused me to get headaches.

Since then, I've just worked on manipulating energy, which I can do fairly well. I do things like surround myself in a casing of energy when going to sleep, or when I feel unsafe. I can charge my own energy with energy around me.

But I've come to the problem where I can charge myself, but am unable to force the energy outside of myself.

I can constantly feel this energy inside me, and even more strongly in my palms. My palms are always warm, and I can feel this energy in the center of them. The center of my palms will become cooler than the rest of my palm at times. I've tried to project this energy outward, but it seems to just build up in my hands until I redistribute it around my body. This also causes me to feel "overcharged" when absorbing energy around me, and I just have to wait until the energy dissipates. I used to use that energy to manipulate the flame, but now I have to use that energy to encase myself in energy when I feel it to be necessary.

How can I get this energy to project out of my hands when I am trying to practice pyrokinesis? In order to get back into the practice, I am just trying to heat up the air around me before triyng to mess with fire, but I need to be able to move the energy from my hands to my surrounding for that to happen. Maybe something is blocking me?
