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?

Hey guys sorry i havent got to respond been on vacation so haven't really been around a computer. Very interesting discussion going on though.

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.

I never really thought about the eyes and there muscles contracting i always thought it was interesting to notice how they work just when transitioning light to dark. Maybe that is the reason for my headaches sometimes whenever i try to focus on seeing auras i find that my eyes strain when i try but when i actually just relax and breathe i can see them better. I would be interested in finding out some of these exercises if you happen to have some information on them.

Aside from the looking closer part, it sounds very close to something I did years ago to focus on the energy I was working with. Its like you bring the physical world slightly out of focus and bring the subtle world into sharper focus. It was helpful in that I could work with energy more directly but superimpose a visualization if the energy and my awareness of it ever became confused. If I remember correctly I also be came very aware of myself when I did this.

Yes that is exactly how it feels it's almost like whenever i do this that i feel like i am higher state whenever i look around. Although it is hard for me to maintain it for long periods of time without causing me to have a headache at other times i can hold it for longer periods of 10 minutes or longer without any strain on my eyes. Whenever i look at someone i can see an outline around them of there body i have tried to see auras this way but i find it particularly hard as my eyes want to unfocus and go back to the normal state. I feel almost like everything slows down whenever i do this. No that i think about it this is probably why i would do it in school to feel less nervous.

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 can't that i have felt there energy directly i have felt liked i picked up on peoples emotions around me. If someone is angry or sad or whatever i almost feel like i know exactly what they are experiencing. I have had people i only talked to once or twice just break down and tell me everything that is bothering them and just unload. I always feel good though after as if i have helped someone but even before they say anything is wrong i can feel how they actually feel. Kinda hard to explain now that i think about it but i like that people will trust me enough to just talk to me like so. Anyone else ever have this happen?

Great conversation glad i made this post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
