How Do You See? Options

I was curious as to how members here see things such as auras and other things that the normal person does not see. Like me i noticed that i see sylphs really easy when i asked few of my family and friends they said they had no clue they had never seen anything like that. I also can see auras somewhat ok every now and then when im just spaced out i admit im not the best at seeing them as i have not practiced that much. So how do you see? I have always found it intriguing to here how others view the world. I also have something with my eyes have had it my whole life i have very good vision but at any time at will i can make everything blurry but not like i cannot see it's almost like it disperses light. and makes everything closer but like even a little red dot looks like a fire work of light. No one else i have ever talked to can do this. Not sure exactly what it even is i sometimes do it whenever i get nerveous seems to calm me down. But nevertheless getting of topic so how do others here see the world around you?

Normally I don't work by seeing energy or people's auras. I work by feeling energy. Occasionally I will begin seeing energy but it isn't something I can do at will or consistently. It generally seems to occur when I'm at another level of consciousness. Probably I happen to reach the particular level of consciousness that enables me to see energy rather like tuning on a particular radio station.

I know people who can see auras easily and consistently, while I can feel auras easily and consistently. I also work sometimes by hearing energy, the tones and volume and clarity. Generally you are good at one but not the others, I tend to be a tactile kinaesthetic person so it seems natural that I work easiest at feeling energy.

Seeing things like sylphs is another sort of phenomena. That would maybe lie more in the shamanic end of things.

I experience energy in a similar manner, for me there is no visual component. I perceive texture, heat and cold, and you could say vibration. With my work I sometimes also perceive a kind of structural element as well, tactile but in a 3-dimensional awareness of 'shape' rather than the way one feels a single 'plane' of texture against the skin. I have smelled energies as well.

It's like beating a dead horse at this point, but my take on it has for a long time been that the part of your senses that perceives subtle energy is independent of the senses all together - seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting energy all amount to sensory analogs employed by this sense in order to communicate information within the scope of our common experiential 'parlance'. It is possible to perceive energy without these analogous representations, but there is no specific vocabulary describing it, to my knowledge. We can say, "looks like..." and "smells like..." because these are common experiences and are present in our language. There really ought to be better vocabulary for it (chinese chi kung practitioners might actually have something like that, I don't know for sure, but the chinese ideograms are meant to convey complex associative information, which seems just abstract enough to convey experiences of that nature). But for that to be the case, there has to be more of a discussion about it, and more of a common experience. Right now we are mostly all tied up in our five physical senses. The perception of energy with it's own sense organ, however, is faster and more accurate and less prone to subjective 'smudging' of the information.

The thing with the eyes is a minute flexion of the very fine eye muscles. use a webcam to film your eyes as you do this and you will see what I mean - the pupils shift and there is a slight vibration of the eye. Every muscle in your body is capable of being influenced directly by your will, but most people either don't understand the vocabulary for some of the actions, or simply have never considered trying to have an influence - many possibly aren't even aware there are muscles involved. If you engage these muscles for too long at a sitting they will spasm and cause a migraine, so be careful with that. Otherwise, the action you are doing with them is included in a series of eye exercises practiced in some forms of yoga. It is quite advanced, but I think that is not because of it's difficulty so much as the difficulty in showing someone how to do it. Supposedly these exercises can both improve and maintain eyesight throughout life.
