I have taught two apprentices so far, and I happen to believe the foundation of any sith is the psi ball. Learning the psiball will show you the importance of visualization, and also give you the feel for energy manipulation, so it lends itself to many different studies and practices. It first requires as all things do a relaxed mind, in a relaxed state your body and mind are stronger than you are normally, an example of this is with another technicque called the unbendable arm in which the object is to compare the ease with which someone applying all of their strength can cause your arm to bend while tensing versus relaxed visualization. Once you feel you are in a relaxed state of awareness, put your hands out infront of you, palms facing eachother as if you were holding a ball in between them. In your mind picture a golden sphere being clutched between your hands, don't focus on your hands, the main point is the area between them. Keep in mind that you are visualizing a hard and heavy object. If visualization doesn't cut it for you, I originally got a taste of energy not by picturing the presence of a ball, but by staring between my palms directly at the space. Point being, where the mind goes, energy flows, whatever object you focus your mind on, will be flooded with energy varying with the time and level of concentration. Visualization is important because it's like telling the energy what kind of energy to be. The trick is to remember to always stay relaxed, being sith is pointless without the force, and you can't will the force to bend from a hyper mental state.

Yes, there is, think of the psiball as a sphere of energy, yours specifically is a reflection of how much energy you actually have to put into it based on your level of skill and knowledge. It's physically there, but you're moving it mentally by adjusting your focus onto it. Look up how to make a psi wheel. Practice with that until you can move it with ease, then move on to flipping pages in a book, then pens and pencils, etc... until you can move people. Also, if you wish to move physical objects, it helps to be aware of the physical world. Do the psi ball meditation without visualizing, then rather than making a ball, become aware of your physical body, practice using your control of energy to coax your fingers into moving, you'll feel pushing and pulling on them, your body is naturally built to respond to energetic signals, and they will bend easily, don't actually wiggle of move them, just feel the pushing and pulling without resisting intentionally. The more you do of this excersize, the more you will intune with the physical world and quickly become master over it. Other techniques require focus in other areas, but keep your head clear of clutter and remember what I said "where the mind goes, energy flows"
