What is Umbrakinesis?
Umbrakinesis is the art of using your mind to control shadows and darkness. It should not be confused with photokinesis, which is the the art of using your mind to control light. In fact, the two powers often work in opposition, and mastering one by no means indicates that you will be able to master the other.
Some people are scared of the dark and prefer the day time. Others however… prefer the darkness.
We call those who practice this dark psychic power… Umbrakinetics! Over the years Umbrakinesis has been portrayed in countless books, texts, art, series and movies.. but what usually wasn’t mentioned is that this Shadow Manipulation, Darkness Control, Dark Element etc… is actually called Umbrakinesis.
Umbrakinesis Definition:[]
The official Umbrakinesis definition is the ability to manipulate light and shadows. This energy can be drawn from any source of light or darkness.
What is Umbrakinesis?[]
Umbrakinesis is a mind-control (telepathic) activity that allows you to manipulate the light and dark with your mind. You can control shadows and create different energy levels when you want. Advanced Umbrakinesis practitioners can actually cause entire cities or countries to fall into total darkness, just using the power of their mind.
Now here is the big question I know is on your mind…
Is Umbrakinesis real?[]
The answer is yes, but only if you are determined enough to develop the ability yourself. Plus, if you do not believe in the ability itself then what is the point of trying? If you lack the patience to stay with the training and exercises, meditation and visualization, then this ability might not be for you.
With any psychic supernatural power, it often takes quite a bit of mental and meditative effort to harness and control what it can do.
In the beginning stages of harnessing this power, emotions can get in the way of using the ability, especially during times of frustration that can block your own energy from making umbrakinesis work.
There is a test you could try to determine if you harness the potential for this particular ability.
Umbrakinesis Aptitude Test[]
It is called a psi ball or an energy ball. Because Umbrakinesis is harnessing the energy you will draw from manipulating light, you should know how to summon your own first.
This is a simple test that starts with a clearing your thoughts and going into a meditative state.
First, place yourself in a relaxed position on the floor, preferably crossed-legged so your energy is more grounded.
Next, close your eyes and take ten deep cleansing breaths. This will slow your heart rate slightly and in turn, cause your energy to steady as well.
Once you have taken those ten breaths, imagine a small ball of light starting from the crown of your head, allowing it to travel in a clockwise motion all the way down your body and all the way back up.
This is where the energy ball comes in.
While keeping your breath and your heartbeat steady, firmly press the palms of your hands together, pull them apart slightly, then push them back together again and repeat.
Every time you pull your hands away slightly, pull them a little further than you did before. While you do this, imagine you are summoning the energy from your own body as you form it into a ball that fits perfectly in your hands.
If done correctly, your hands should feel like forcing two magnets together as they resist from the opposite poles. This is your body’s energy.
If you feel this sensation, you have the ability to possess the power of Umbrakinesis. Now that you know you have the potential to harness this unique ability, the Umbrakinesis training portion comes in.
How to Learn Umbrakinesis[]
Like any kinesis powers, it’s really important to analyse why you want to learn umbrakinesis and then to ask your self if you truly believe in it.
It’s only after you’ve answered these questions that you will be able to progress to the next stage. The next stage is to get into a state of meditation where your mind is clear enough to meditate upon the light. So, first of all, do exactly that, meditate and once you’re calm and relaxed then you’re ready to practice this power.
Find somewhere that is completely dark. That will mean turning off all the lights wherever you are. When you’re in an area of darkness start visualizing a lit candle and visualize yourself manipulating the light of the candle flame.
Umbrakinesis Training[]
First, you should pick a set location of where you will practice your power, someplace that makes you feel safe and is still private like a bedroom.
Like any supernatural power, it has the potential to cause damage if handled improperly. The biggest tool in your kit to help control this power is meditation.
The first method is simply calming your body. The reasoning for this is because to manipulate the energy and state of light and shadows, your energy has to be calm first, at least until your body and mind are familiar with the sensations of summoning this power.
The next form of meditation is the visualization in which almost every psychic or supernatural power is taught.
Because you are using your mind to help manipulate light, you need to visualize how you are going to do it. Let’s think about this logistically: light travels in waves, so that’s how you should visualize yourself manipulating it.
First, meditate on a single lit candle inside your mind. Close your eyes and watch how it moves on its own, see how it flickers in the dark, how the light shifts when it moves.
Then imagine your hand or your finger manipulating it. What does the flame look like? Is it dimmer, smaller? Does it make the room go darker?
Go back and forth with you controlling the flame and letting the flame rest on its own so you can differentiate what is the flame and what is your doing in reality.
You’ll know when you have mastered this when you feel your heartbeat or energy shift when you see yourself manipulating the flame. Once you feel these differences, you can move on to Umbrakinesis exercises.
Umbrakinesis Exercises[]
The exercise that produces the best results is called touch to shift method. It stems off of what we did with our visualization meditation.
Instead of focusing on how the light moves, you are going to focus on how the light feels. What would it feel like if you ran your hand through a shadow to change its appearance or harness its energy?
Would it feel like a ripple in the water of a still lake, again stemming from waves?
Would the light from a lamp feel warm but weightless between your fingers?
Would it tickled the surface of your skin as you reach to change it?
Do shadows feel cold and light feel warm?
This exercise is meant to draw focus, complete attention to what you are trying to achieve. Once you picture what it would be like to touch the light or shadow, shift or change it as you saw in your mind’s eye to bring that desire to life.
Picture your desired effect and how it would feel during the process.
If this is repeated enough times, you will feel your own energy react to that of the light and or shadows.
You will be able to shift the energy in the room based on what is illuminated or darkened by your own manipulation. As you practice each of these meditations, preferably in the same space every time, you should start to feel yourself reacting to light and it reacts to you, almost like it recognizes you.
A good tip to keep in mind during this training is that it is best to practice on natural sources of light and shadow.
Man-made light like electricity can be finicky and rough to start with as it does not have a natural movement or energy light sunlight.
Now, I’m sure you are wondering, what comes next? How will this ability grow and what can I expect?
Well, because Umbrakinesis is the manipulation of shadows and light, the next ability to grow as an extension of this would be Photokinesis, which is the ability to bend light.
The thing with supernatural powers is that there is always something to learn, some way to expand your abilities to a different or more challenging level.
It is one thing to manipulate shadow and light and harness the energy it holds, but it is another to bend it, to make things appear see-through and invisible to the human eye.
Umbrakinesis Spell (Not Magical Spells Lol)[]
When it comes to supernatural powers, they are closely tied to emotions as stated before.
While you have just awakened this power, you are vulnerable to the reactions caused by your emotions until you continue practicing to get a better hold on it.
If you become anxious or overwhelmed, you may see shadows drawing in towards your or lights flickering at your spiked energy. Some may experience lightbulbs burning out quicker due to anger or sadness, it all depends on the person.
If you do start to see these reactions in shadows or light, there is a specific spell you can do to combat this.
Light and shadows,
I call to thee Feelings of chaos stir in me Warmth of light,
calm my soul Shadow of night,
make me whole.
Think of this spell as an instant restart to your emotions, almost like if you were to call upon the psi ball again to summon your own energy, but the calming effect lasts only for a few moments.
If fact, I would encourage you to engage in the psi ball practice as a way to keep the intended result lasting a bit longer when you find yourself in emotionally intense situations.
This practice will keep your energy grounded and prevent emotion reactions from occurring. We do not need lightbulbs bursting or shadows consuming bedrooms in the middle of the day.
The biggest thing to keep in mind during this whole learning process is patience. The television shows and movies show characters learning their powers in ten minutes then saving the world with it.
In reality, it can take time and consistency to develop a power such as this. In addition to this, you have to keep practicing daily to keep the strength and control you have so diligently created for yourself.
Umbrakinesis is a very special and unique ability, a gift, and should be treated as one. It is something that needs to be respected and used with care. Use it wisely.
Dangers Associated with Umbrakinesis[]
Umbrakinesis is a supernatural power, which means that if it’s used in the wrong way, it can have negative consequences.
Before you even entertain the thought of practicing the art, you need to ensure that you are not doing it when you’re in a hateful or negative mood. All superpowers are dependent upon energy, and should only be used when you’re in a positive mood.
If you need to, then go back to the initial stage, and calm your mind. Ensure that you are only thinking positive thoughts when you start practising umbrakinesis. This will ensure that you are not harmed and that you do not hurt anyone around you.
Darkness Manipulation[]
Wait a minute… i though Umbrakiness was Darkness Manipulation? So what is this?
Technically yes, Darkness Manipulation or Shadow Manipulation does classify under Umbrakinesis. But there is a more “fantasy” focus on Umbrakinesis, with powers more in-line with what you might see in movies or comic books, and this Darkness/Shadow Manipulation section is to cover that.
Now what you should keep in mind is that technically all these powers are very well possible and you could learn them… it just is not realistic and not something you should expect. Rather use them as your motivation on what could be possible if you dedicate yourself wholly to practice and learning.
Anyway without further ado lets study the more “fantastical” side of Umbrakinesis…
How to Manipulate Darkness/Shadows?[]
The first step to master Darkness/Shadow Manipulation comes with the basic exercise: Create and manipulate a shadow.
To do so get into a room and illuminate it with a candle to generate a soft light with a good reach. Your objective will be to dim the room.
Sit and focus, do not overwork, just concentrate on creating a imagine in your mind, try to see how the light particles are travelling around the candle, the room and yourself. Concentrate until you can percept the particles as what they are and feel them both mentally and physically.
Sharp your senses until you can detect a breach in between the particles, focus your energy and try to push, try to extend the breach, make it wider or broader. After, you will have to keep pushing. Do this the most you can, keep extending the breach until you feel the light is physically forced to move. At first, maybe this will be almost imperceptible but if you keep pushing the room will begin to dim.
Of course, as a beginner you won’t be able to dim the entire room, however you have reached the first step on the way to not only do so but to control this enigmatic element as well. That exercise isn’t only to start this path, it’s also very good to practice and to improve your connection with shadows.
Now that you have successfully contacted with the shadow realm it’s time to begin the study of the art of umbrakinesis. To give you a better idea of what can you do there is a list of powers used by practitioners presented below.
To improve your control it is suggested to learn and practice one skill at the time, following this will grant a better outcome. Never forget that the learning of this kind of techniques is hard and it needs patience and discipline to make the best of it.
1. Darkness Aura[]
The learning of this skill is essential for practitioners. It has the same principle as manipulating light particles to dim a room but now you will dark out your self. This ability is used to hide the practitioner’s presence resulting in a very useful power to protect yourself.
Step One: At the beginning, you’ll have to close your eyes to properly concentrate and to sharp your sense of energy at max. At advance, you can begin to practice it with both eyes opened. Focus on light as the form of particles that are covering your body, like water or clothes they can be removed. Visualize the energy between your body cooming out of your portals located in head, torso, forehead, hands and ankles.
Step two: Control the energy and make it flow, allow it to flow from your portals to fully wrap your body. Calm your breath and movements. The energy slowly will push out the particles of light that once covered you.
2. Shadow Orb[]
Creating an orb made of shadows is the first objective to accomplish to become able to create physical items or even entities fully made of shadows.
Step one: Find a comfortable position to meditate, put your open hand in front of you with the palm aiming up as if you were holding something.
Step two: Open and close your hand, doing and undoing a fist several times. Visualize how you are pulling dark material out of the environment into your hand.
Step three: As you continue you will be able to notice how a dark ball is being formed in your palm. It will be tiny and difficult to appreciate at first but with practice, it will become bigger.
3. Night Vision[]
As you progress in mastering the shadow element you will become able to see in places where others will struggle or even will be completely incapable to do so. However, developing this skill takes a long process and you should be patient. You may not be able to succeed in your first tries.
Step one: Turn off the lights of the room and close your eyes. You want to be in a lightless place; even better, try to block the light that comes from outside, not even the light coming from the cracks of the door can enter the room. Keep your eyes closed until they get adjusted to the darkness.
Step two: Open your eyes but don’t focus on seeing. Just let them get used to the dark even better. Thanks to your connection to shadows thing will slowly become clear.
Step three: Use the energy centred in your torso to create a dark aura. This will help you to improve your vision.
Step four: Feel the places and items that physically bend or shift against your aura. The aura will connect with your vision eventually and this feels will become into visual sights when they make contact with the barrier of your aura.
4. Shadow Camouflage/Cloak[]
Directly connected to Darkness aura is a skill that gives its user the capacity to hide by using the shadows in the environment. Depending on the level, the user can hide even in someone else’s shadow.
Step one: First fire on a candle that illuminates a part of your room leaving dark parts as well. Stand in the lighted part first and focus on creating a dark aura on yourself.
Step Two: Once you did start to walk slowly into the shadowed part of the room, focus on keeping the dark aura form at your best.
Step Three: when you reach the dark part start to picture how the dark aura you’ve created begins to melt and mix into the shadow of the room. Focus on stepping in slowly while you notice how your feet appears to vanish into it.
5. Shadow Portals[]
Now that your manipulation of shadows is stronger you will be able to it to move quickly from place to place thanks to the creation of portals. This is an extremely dangerous practice and it shouldn’t be practised without being adept in umbrakinesis.
Step one: Create a shadow where you are standing and simultaneously create a shadow aura for yourself. Mix your aura with the shadow you’ve created before and step inside. Now you are entering into the shadow realm. Keep a calm and slow breathing to help you to keep focused, this will help you to maintain control on yourself and to avoid getting lost.
Step two: Imagine a shadow at the place you want to be. Just as you did making two shadows before at the same time. Now walk through keeping in mind the shadow exit you pictured. Eventually, you’ll be able to walk through the realm unto the exit shadow without crossing physical space.
6. Animated shadow[]
An umbra element user can create many things from shadows, even animated beings that can think by themselves. A useful tool to create powerful allies but it can be very hard to manifest them and even harder to keep them in the physical realm. A high level of concentration and stamina is required to bring life from shadows.
Step one: First create a shadow orb, focus on picturing a bird or a dog, it’s easier to give form to something basing it on a common thing, It doesn’t have to be big or detailed, just to have a shape that allows it to move.
Step two: imagine what kind of personality it will have, don’t overthink, everyone has their own ideas on personality, you just have to plasm that idea into your shaped shadow.
Step three: Now that you had canalized that idea you need to transfer it into the shaped shadow. Concentrate the energy that flows from your head and your chest, the sources of mind and soul. make that energy to flow through your arm up to your hand and from your hand to your shaped shadow. At first, the animated shadow will only shake a little or won’t move at all. As you advance, you will be able to create more complex animated shadows from your environment and even from your own shadow.
7. Light Absorption[]
A shadow user can manipulate the light of the environment to gain an advantage as well. This can be translated into gaining energy, generating new shadows faster, creating a better fighting scenario or weakening Light users.
Only Step: as you did at the beginning you will have to picture the breaches that exist between the particles of light. Now focus on gathering shadows on those breaches with the idea to form a ring and eventually trap the light inside. Finally, you’ll have to control the ring and move it to drag the light inside.
8. Shadow Attacks[]
A user of shadows can make use of them to attack as well thanks to the control that permits them to manifest the shadow element in several forms and shapes from melee weapons or simply an aura, to cover their body like a hard armour, to projectiles to attack from distance.
Step one: Focus on gathering dark matter along your body, use your mind and your energy portals to control it and to give it shape, while more matter you gather and compact then harder will be the weapon.
Step two: To make a melee weapon imagine the kind of weapon you desire. It’s recommended to be familiarized to that weapon in its physical form first. That will make it easier to form and to use. Once you complete it you have to focus on harden it and to keep it strong.
Step Three: To projectiles, you have to have great control over your energy portals located in your hands. Gather dark matter in the palms of your hands, close them if you want to compact it and if you want to control better the amount of it. Once you’ve had enough compacted shadow you need to shoot it by the strong release of concentrated energy from the palm of your hand.
9. Shadow Creation, chain kind item[]
The creation of a long, hard and thin item that are useful to attack, defend and bind is possible for dedicated umbrakinesis’s students. Such items as chains, tentacles or threads are difficult to use due to the need of solidifying a large item just enough to make it strong but flexible and depending on the item itself the parameters can be different.
Step one: you need to gather a huge amount of shadow element around your arms like it was hanging off it. Picture it like a fireman’s hose that needs to be extended depending on the situation. In higher levels, you will only have to gather the shadow element.
Step two: Think on the item you want to form. A chain is difficult because of the chainrings forming and the hardness, at the beginning the chain won’t have the same strength from the bottom to the tip. As for tentacles you have to notice that they are like a living extension of your arms so you have to focus on controlling them while you keep the length and solid shape.
10. Healing[]
Although many think of shadow element as an evil and destructive one, the Umbrakinesis grants access to skills like healing. This is like this because of the connections that exist between shadows and the other elements, they co-exist. However this is maybe the hardest to learn, it requires concentration and a calm mind to do so.
Step one: Meditate and let the energy flow freely across your body, then create shadow aura and keep it in harmony with your inner energy flow. do it until you get used to the feeling of to rivers flowing at the same time.
Step two: Now then, lead the energy to a part of your body that feels tired, the meaning of this is to refill the energy lost in that area with energy extracted from the environment. Use a picture to help you out, for example, a glass of water or a cup of tea.
Lesson 1[]
In this lesson we are going to learn how to connect our body with the shadow. Find a dark place and then sit like you are going to meditate and then close your eyes. Now you must visualize the darkness around you are trying to take over your body. Feel its coldness, visualize the darkness latching itself on you. After that you can open your eyes and do it again without your eyes closed and see what happens when you're using a umbrakinetic technique.
Lesson 2[]
In this lesson we are going to learn my own made technique that I call "Zero Photon" This technique is used to make all the photon around you disappear so you're in complete darkness. First find a place like your room that is illuminated by the light bulbs. Then sit like you're going to meditate and close your eyes. Now visualize that you're summoning the darkness to block the photon from the light bulbs. Visualize the darkness like an army that is ready to fight the photon until there are no more photons lighting your surroundings.
Lesson 3[]
In this lesson we are going to learn how to create a shadow doppelganger. We are going to use shadow to make a copy of an item or someone. First find an small item like a toothpick and now visualize the shadow is mimicking the toothpick shape. Move the shadow in front of the toothpick in the shape of the toothpick, and then visualize the shaped shadow becoming a real black toothpick.
Lesson 4[]
In this lesson we are going to learn how to make a shadow ball. First make a psi ball and then visualize the shadow and darkness merging itself with your psi ball. After you have created your psi ball, program it with your intent and release it.
lesson 5 The Shadow Road[]
Create a dark aura around yourself, and then create a shadow in front of you. Then extend your hand or your foot, and imagine that the aura of shadow mixes and dissolves in the shadow, and complete the rest of your body slowly entering the shadows until you enter the shadow, then create a shadow and make it connected to the shadow that you are in. Swim in and walk the shade path you have created
Lesson 6 The Shadow Portal[]
okay shadow portal are a portal that used to reach any destination quickly, okay then first to make a shadow portal first walk at the shadow road or just at normal road and then while you're walking visualize there was a darkness/shadow swirling in front of you and then the swirling darkness opened a portal, then visualize a place like your house or anything you like, after that see the picture of your destination clearly seen in the portal and then just walk to the portal, after that you will be arrived at your destination,and remember after you're arrived on your destination close the portal,to do this just think the portal are closing and becoming a swirling darkness again and then disappear,
Note:if you're using a shadow portal please find a good spot where there are no one there,because you don't wanna people to think that you're a ghost that come from nowhere
Tips For Training Umbrakinesis[]
- Start by testing your abilities in low light conditions – Umbrakinesis is the ability to manipulate darkness, so you’ll want to start practicing in environments that are already dim.
- Create a space that is completely dark – Once you’re comfortable manipulating darkness in low light, try working in complete darkness. This will be more difficult, but it will help you hone your skills.
- Practice visualizing what you want to happen – When you’re first starting out, it can be helpful to visualize what you want to happen with your umbrakinesis. This will help you better focus your energy and control the darkness.
- Try different techniques – There are many different ways to use umbrakinesis, so don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you.
- Do research & Learning about the origins of umbrakinesis – Umbrakinesis is a relatively new field of study, so there’s not a lot of information available on it yet. However, doing research on the subject can help you better understand the power and how to control it. Additionally, reading about other people’s experiences with umbrakinesis can give you insight and tips on how to improve your own abilities.
- Set goals & Having a clear idea of what you want to achieve – When training any skill, setting goals is important in order to gauge your progress and keep yourself motivated. When practicing umbrakinesis, set realistic goals for yourself and strive to achieve them. As you get better at using your powers, you can gradually increase the difficulty of your goals.
- Challenge yourself & Pushing yourself to do more – In order to get better at umbrakinesis, you need to challenge yourself and push yourself outside of your comfort zone. If you’re always doing the same things, you won’t see any improvement. Instead, try new things and experiment with different techniques. By pushing yourself, you’ll start seeing real progress in your abilities.
- Find a mentor & get guidance from someone experienced – Having someone who is experienced in umbrakinesis can be extremely helpful when first learning the power. A mentor can teach you the basics, give you advice, and help answer any questions you have along the way. If possible, find someone who is willing to help guide you through your journey of learning umbrakinesis.
- Join or create a community & Surrounding yourself with like-minded people – One of the best ways to learn and improve at umbrakinesis is by surrounding yourself with others who are interested in the same thing. There are many online communities dedicated to psychic powers and parapsychology where you can share tips, advice, and support with others who are on their own journey of mastering umbrakinesis.
Umbrakinesis Training – How You Can Do It?[]
- Set a realistic goal : Determine how much control you want to have over your ability.
- Find a quiet place to focus : This will help you avoid distractions and allow you to focus on your goal.
- Relax your body and mind : Take some deep breaths and let go of any tension you may be holding in your body. It is important to be as relaxed as possible when training umbrakinesis.
- Visualize the darkness around you : See the darkness as an extension of yourself that you can manipulate at will. Then a simple exercise would be to focus on a shadow and try to move it with your mind.
- Gradually increase the difficulty of your exercises : As you become more comfortable with moving shadows, you can gradually increase the difficulty of your exercises. For example, try moving multiple shadows at once or manipulating larger objects.
- Train regularly : Like any skill, the more you practice umbrakinesis, the better you will become at it. Try to train for at least 30 minutes each day to see the best results.
⚫Science or art?
Umbrakinesis requires the mastery of certain techniques which will be outlined in this article. However, each practitioner will find that they can vary their techniques slightly based on their personality and their unique relationship with darkness. Simply because a tactic works for others does not guarantee that it will work for you. As you continue to master umbrakinetic techniques, you will start to develop a sort of “sixth sense” for darkness and will be able to do using instinct things that once required intense concentration.
⚫Who should learn umbrakinesis?
Theoretically, anyone is able to learn umbrakinesis. However, there are certain people who may find that it comes easily, while others will struggle. If you are the kind of person who is naturally comfortable with darkness and night, some things may come very easily to you. You should also be able to concentrate and meditate for long periods of time for certain techniques to work correctly.
⚫How long will it take me to develop umbrakinetic powers?
Many people start to learn umbrakinesis and quickly give up when they realize they won’t be able to instantly perform advanced techniques. Truly becoming a master of the field will take a long time, and you shouldn’t feel discouraged if your progress is slow initially.
⚫What are risks associated with practicing umbrakinesis?
As with all kinetic arts, umbrakinesis can be dangerous if not practiced correctly. For example, just like with pyrokinesis if you begin to manipulate darkness and shadow while your mind if full of anger or hate, you may unleash destructive forces. To minimize the risks to yourself and others, try to begin practicing while you are feeling happy or neutral. On the other hand, if you are facing an opponent and intending to cause harm, anger, hatred, and fear can be assets to your practice.
⚫How can I get started with my umbrakinetic journey?
While it would be great if you could simply start moving shadows with your mind right away, there are a few fundamental skills that will help you improve dramatially if you develop them. Although it may be surprising, mastering the art of meditation will help you improve dramatically. Practicing yoga or other forms of mindfulness can be a good first step towards learning how to meditate if you have never done it before.
Having a good visual imagination will also help you become a more skilled practitioner of umbrakinesis. To use many umbrakinetic techniques, you’ll have to be able to work on envisioning what you what to happen in the world. To hone your visual imagination, try to practice sketching scenes from your imagination. Although it may seem very disconnected from the practice of umbrakinesis, it will be a great asset to you as you continue on your journey.
⚫What can umbrakinesis be used for?
Umbrakinesis can be used for a multitude of things. Here you will find a variety of things that practitioners of umbrakinesis will be able to do with their powers, given sufficient practice. They are listed with the easiest techniques first and the most difficult techniques last. Please note that as you move down this list, you will encounter techniques and tactics that can potentially cause harm to yourself and others.
⚫Create a dimming affect
This is the first step on your umbrakinetic journey. Do not worry about ridding a room of all light; to be successful at this first step, you are only seeking to dim the light in the room.
✅Step One:
Sitting in a brightly lit room; close your eyes. Try to visualize light as either a particle or wave. Concentrate intently on light in this essential form until you can both see and feel the light with your physical body.
✅Step Two:
Concentrating on the visual and physical sensation of the light, try to find gaps between waves or particles. Using your internal energetic force, push between these gaps to make them wider or broader.
✅Step Three:
Continue pushing until the light is physically forced from the room. You may not notice it at first, but as you continue pushing, the room should slowly become dimmer. As a beginner, you will likely not be able to make the room entirely dark.
⚫Creating a darkness aura
This is very similar to creating a dimming effect, except you will try to concentrate the center of darkness around your own body. An aura of darkness around your body can be used to help you hide from enemies and protect yourself in dangerous situations.
✅Step One:
When you are beginning to create a darkness aura, you will want to close your eyes. As you advance, you will be able to attempt this technique with open eyes. Concentrate on the sensation of light as a physical substance on your skin. Open your chakras, or energy portals. They are located at power points on your body, including your hands, torso, forehead, and ankles.
✅Step Two:
Allow energy to flow from your energy portals to completely envelop your body. Slow your breathing and still all movement. The energy will slowly push the light away from your body.
⚫Create a shadow orb
This is the first step towards creating physical objects made of darkness. Mastering this technique will help you on your path to creating weapons or even beings made entirely of darkness.
✅Step One:
Sit in a comfortable position to meditate with our hand open, palm up, about a foot in front of your body.
✅Step Two:
Slowly open and close your hand. Make a fist and unmake a fist repeatedly, with your eyes concentrated on your fist. Picture yourself pulling darkness from the surrounding area into the palm of your hand.
✅Step Three:
As you continue to open and close your fist, you should notice that a ball of darkness is forming in your hand. It may be extremely difficult to notice at first, but with practice, you will be able to touch and manipulate the ball.
⚫Create concentrated shadows
After you have mastered orb-creation, you are ready to create concentrated shadow forms which are disconnected from your body.
✅Step One:
Sit or stand in a meditative position. Focus on an area about ten feet from your eyes. This is where you will create your shadow. It is helpful if, as a beginning, you choose to grow or add to an already existing shadow, but you are working to the goal of being able to create shadows from nothing.
✅Step Two:
To succeed at this technique, you should already be able to manipulate light using your energy force. Focus all of your energy on the spot in which you want to create a shadow. Visualize physically pushing the photons away.
✅Step Three:
Focus on the boundary between light and dark. Your energy should function as a knife cutting a clear line between dark and light. It is this boundary that will give power to your shadow.
⚫Shadow Swimming
This technique will allow you to move through areas unseen. Essentially, you will create a path of rapidly moving shadows through which you will swim.
✅Step One:
Create a shadow aura around yourself. You will need to have mastered this technique to successfully shadow swim.
✅Step Two:
Create a shadow several feet ahead of your body. You do not need to be able to maintain this shadow. Simply move to it; as soon as you have done that, create another shadow ahead of you in your path, and quickly move to that. Because you can let the shadows dissolve as you finish using them, this path requires less energy than other shadow movement techniques.
⚫Night Vision
Those who have mastered umbrakinesis are able to see easily in environments where others will struggle. However, developing this skill is a long process and you should not expect to succeed on your first try.
✅Step One:
Turn off all the lights in a room and close your eyes. You want to be in an environment that is as dark as possible; ideally, there should not even be light coming in from cracks under the door. Keep your eyes closed until your eyes have physically adjusted to the darkness.
✅Step Two:
Open your eyes, but do not attempt to see at first. Simply let them adjust to the dark. If you are in tune with the power of darkness, things should slowly become clear to you.
✅Step Three:
Using the energy centered in your torso, create an aura of darkness around yourself. The stronger the aura, the more effective your night vision will be.
✅Step Four:
Feel the places where your aura has to physically bend or shift to accommodate physical objects. Your eyes will eventually connect to the aura, and you will be able to interpret the physical barriers against your aura as visual sights.
⚫Cosmic Umbrakinesis
Light is one of the ultimate forces of the universe, and darkness is one of the only things that can defeat it. Using cosmic umbrakinesis, you will be able to connect with sources of light far from the Earth and create a shadow that connects you with the cosmos.
✅Step One:
Go outside, preferably at nighttime. Lay on your back on the ground. You need to be connected to the physical earth; do not attempt this while lying on pavement.
✅Step Two:
Concentrate on a source of light far from the Earth. A good source for your first try is the moon. Note: Do not try this with the sun; you will risk damaging your eyes.
✅Step Three:
Try to feel the physical path created by moonlight as it cuts its way through space towards the Earth. Then concentrate on the boundaries of darkness surrounding the path of light.
✅Step Four:
The darkness around the path will act as your shadow road. Meditate until your spirit feels ready to leave your body. Travel in your spirit along the road to the light source. Once there, you may pick another source of light and travel to it as well.
✅Step Five:
Remember, light is the single fastest thing that exists in the universe. Be careful not to get lost as you travel with it. Have a friend with you to help wake you up in case you travel too far.
⚫Physical manifestation of dark objects
Once you are able to create shadow orbs and other shadows, you should be ready to start creating objects of pure darkness. Be careful when you begin to do this, as these objects can be extremely dangerous. This technique should only be undertaken by advanced practitioners of umbrakinesis.
✅Step One:
Create a shadow far from your body as you usually would. If you are practicing this technique for the first time, it helps to envision energy traveling from your torso and cohering at a fixed point about fifteen feet away from you.
✅Step Two:
Slowly walk towards the shadow you’ve created, continuing to focus your energy. Walk very slowly, one step at a time; pause for about ten seconds between steps. This slow walk will cause the wavelength of your energy to shorten and become more concentrated.
✅Step Three:
As you approach the shadow that you have created, use your hands to physically shape the shadow. You should be able to touch it with your hands. Push the energy from your body together into as compact a shape as possible. This is a very hard technique to maintain; many practitioners find that their umbrakinetic objects fade away rapidly or that they become exhausted trying to keep them in place.
⚫Shadow Portals
Once your powers of shadow creation are sufficiently strong, you will be able to use your power to move quickly from place to place. Do not attempt this before you are extremely adept at creating shadows, or you may find yourself lost in the shadow realm.
✅Step One:
Create a shadow where you currently are. Simultaneously, create a shadow aura for yourself. Blend your aura with the shadow you have created and step into the shadow. You will find yourself stepping into the shadow world. Please note that breathing is very important during this; breathing slowly will help keep your energy centered and prevent you from getting lost.
✅Step Two:
Visualize a shadow at the place you want to be. If you are able to hold two shadows in your mind simultaneously, you can also do this before you step into the initial shadow. Walk through the shadow realm, holding the exit shadow in your mind. Eventually, you should be able to step out of the shadow realm into this exit shadow without crossing physical space.
⚫Umbrakinetic impulse manipulation
Just as with any other physical object, our minds contain elements of light and darkness. Once you are able to confidently manipulate shadows you will be able to use them to influence the minds of others. It is rumored that exceptionally advanced users of umbrakinesis can use this tactic to control the minds of others; however, that is beyond the scope of this article.
✅Step One:
Create an energy connection between yourself and another person. This is easiest if the other person is cooperative, so choose a friend when you are starting to learn this technique. Ideally, this person should also be a practitioner of umbrakinesis.
✅Step Two:
Create an empty, dark connection between your minds. This is a literal, not a metaphorical path. You should see the shadow forming between your heads.
✅Step Three:
Extend the shadow path so that it enters into the other person’s mind. At that point, the energy of the shadow path will begin to transmit emotions that will impact the other person. They should begin to feel some of the emotions that you are feeling and vice versa. Please note that this technique should not be practiced too frequently, because there is a danger that two minds can become permanently connected.
⚫Diabolical Darkness
Once you’ve advanced far enough on your journey, you may be able to access the source of all darkness: the pits of hell. Hell is the ultimate source of power for umbrakinetics, and tapping into diabolic power can help strengthen everything you do using umbrakinesis.
✅Step One:
Go to a dark place and begin to meditate. Eventually you should slow your breathing until you are breathing approximately 15 times a minute.
✅Step Two:
Begin to focus on the darkness in front of you. Try to create a shadow on top of the darkness that already exists. This ultra-layered, extra-concentrated darkness is closer to the original darkness of hell than simply the absence of light.
✅Step Three:
Once you feel certain that you have created a patch of ultra-concentrated darkness, feel free to return to the light. The darkness should endure even when you are not concentrating it. If you have done it correctly, it will exist under its own power and you will not need to maintain it. However, you will also not be able to control it.
⚫Become a creature of shadow
Once you have mastered all of the techniques above, you are ready to join the shadow realm. However, please note that it will take most people an entire lifetime to master the techniques listed here. Transforming your consciousness into shadow is something that should only be undertaken by the most advanced of practitioners.
✅Step One:
Go into the darkest physical environment that is accessible to you. Ideally, no single photon of light should be touching any part of your body. If you’ve mastered night vision, you should not use it as it disrupts the purity of the darkness.
✅Step Two:
Slow your breathing and relax your muscles. Concentrate on muscle groups one at a time and relax them one by one: for example, you might try relaxing from your feet up. Relax your toes, then your soles, then your heels, then your calves, and so on, all the way up your body.
✅Step Three:
Once your body is as little of a physical presence as possible, concentrate on blurring the boundaries between your body and the rest of the world. Open yourself to receiving energy from the world and allow your body’s energy to be projected outwards.
✅Step Four:
As the boundaries of your body become blurred with the boundaries of the world, allow darkness to enter the places where your body used to be. At this stage, as your body becomes replaced with darkness, you should begin to physically move again to ensure that your consciousness is bound with the physical presence of the darkness.
✅Step Five:
It will take a while–possible up to several days–before your entire body has been replaced by darkness. However, at this stage, you should be able to move freely throughout the world as darkness, leaving your physical form behind. You will have all of the powers of darkness as discussed above.
💀 Welcome to your Journey 💀
Hopefully, you now understand the amazing powers that umbrakinesis can make available to you. Although many start on this journey, few give umbrakinesis the time and energy that it requires to become a true master of the field. To become a true master, you must be ready to dedicate time, energy, and your soul to learning new techniques and mastering the laws of darkness.
