It’s more like “developing”… it’s a process that never stops, not like a switch you can turn on and off.
At first, it doesn’t matter what you do, anything is better than nothing. I did qigong, and realized that things I could sense anyway had a name, and utility. Then I used my understanding of qi in my martial arts training. And then I learned shamanism, and found that not everything is “just imagination”, and to respect the subconscious impressions,
Then I used that in learning Light-work and doing those activations. By the time I found the western occult traditions, it was all kind of normal to accept that there are more things you can’t see than what you can.
From there, I picked the techniques I enjoyed the most or got the best results from. The more I did that, the more I could “see”. From occasional presences and wispy ghosts, to seeing shadows flit around in the corner of my eyes, to clairsentient conversations in circle.
I still haven’t evoked to full visual, but I’m not a visually-oriented person and it’s not something I hanker for. My eyesight is poor, and I’m an empath, so I find the downloads and clairsentience much richer and more informative than an image anyway. Would be fun though.

I have always been able to see strange things out of the corner of my eye, especially when I have just woken up, but it frustrated me greatly that I could not see them as clearly as I would see another person. Working with the black mirror has helped me perceive the outlines of spirits’ bodies, as if a light were illuminating them; it is very difficult to explain. The darkness would become a great black mirror, and I could not feel anything around me. I was also able to see spheres floating in the air. We did this without having enough incense; I imagine that with a lot of smoke, forms could be created. Right now, I am practicing the Lam mantra so that I can hear. I feel that if you first learn to hear clearly, you can gradually become accustomed to it before moving on to seeing, without losing your mind and ending up in an asylum if you are unable to handle it.
interesting, I was starting to work with mantras and protection magick. Im going to probably pause work if everything gets to intense. I already do psyches that makes me think too much. Magick will cook my if i dont play this right. But I know what to do.
