One way is to draw the particles you want, sparks or whatever. Then clone the layer and add a gaussian blur filter (under blur). Then you can play around with the new, gaussian'ed layers transparency and blend modes.
This way you ought to come up with something. |

If you're looking to create the sort of particle effects you see in games, where dense groups of particles add together to form brighter colours, then just use a brush with one of the additive blend modes, like Screen. |

Yeah, for volumetric light you want to use additive blending - which actually only exists in PS7 ( as linear dodge ), but screen is similar
I set the spacing of the brush to 60, scatter to 10,000 %. The blend mode is linear dodge |
