I have noticed that whenever i am higher up that i can see them a lot better. For example whenever i was on an air plane i was looking out just trying to unfocus to see what i could see and it was amazing the whole sky seemed to be just full of them whenever i would try to actually look closer they would all disappear and normal vision would come back. It is really awesome sight i have always been able to see them but never really thought anything of it until i got interested one day and started doing some research and sure enough sylphs where what i was seeing.
I am not able to see them with my eyes closed although i bet that is something else. I have been trying to hone in on different instruments in every song i listen to know (IMG:

I am more for music myself trying this with a painting could be beneficial to my seeing auras just attuning to colors perhaps, I will have to give this a try. I always find whenever im outside in the summer and everything is in bloom ill concentrate on different colors of flowers and things and how they stand out against the background of the lush green. Just to try and improve my sensitivity for colors as i have been really trying to see energies of people things animals plants etc.
I have heard of people being able to see into higher dimensions but i always think of them as planes and that we can only perceive certain levels or dimensions. As most are not attuned to be able to "see" into higher dimensions beyond 5th or 6th. I would assume the higher ones are those that are meant more for angelic beings and the like perhaps i am wrong as i myself am not superb at being able to transcend my consciousness. It would be very amazing to get to those levels but that won't be anytime soon for me (IMG:
