I found an old guide I made a while ago.
My methods for practicing time manipulation aren't too much different than the steps outlined in the 'Starting Chronokinesis' guide of this section:
"Quote:
What is Chronokinesis?
Chronokinesis is the ability to control time.
Step One
First start by getting a pendulum or clock or something that make a ticking sound once a second. Then in your know time get comfortable and relax.
Step Two
Now listen to the beats of the object, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Then focus on this sound and listen for the spaces between the tick tock sound focus on the silence and blend your energy with the silence realize that man is not governed by time. Time is simply a concept created by man.
Step Three
Now listen to the spaces between the beats, focus on the measure of silence getting slower and slower.
Step Four
Do this for several minutes and then if the beats are getting longer apart from the next one you've done it! Now just keep practicing and eventually you will get to where you don't need a pendulum or clock.
Remember: these methods are made by a single person, you can alter these methods for the best results for YOU.
"
If you do not have a self-automated pendulum, a traditional clock that ticks; like a pocketwatch, grandfather clock, stopwatch, or at least a functioning wrist-watch (not digital), then I'm pretty sure you can also find timers to practice with online, that are set up like a traditional clock (the important function of these is their cyclical motion). You can probably also find a metronome online (this is good because it's adjustable and you can work with different intervals, and that should work quite well for working with the sounds and the spaces between them as well).
There are many philosophical and scientific debates as to what exactly time is, though the simplest way I can explain it, is as being consciousness in motion, basically energy. Whenever you see an event, someone walking, a cartoon, listen to music, even when you have thoughts and feelings, when you focus solely on these in their present, you are experiencing time. Even when I get to focusing on just music, I can almost see the sound coming out of the speakers and see and feel it move around. When I focus on just my hand, and set a path that I'm going to move it across, I can see it as it's moving and where it currently is at the same time, and so I see it as my hand, with a trail of the motion of movement behind it (somewhat similar to when you have a phone's screen in the dark and wave it around in circles and you can see a trail of the light).
This void is just creating space between as way to get rid of the many distractions, temporarily disconnect from the diversity of other energies present and connect to one specific object, conscious feild, event, or range of motion without too much energetic effort, it is basically phasing all else out of your sensory perceptions and locking onto the single object or event of focus at the time, as a way to slow and better understand these rarely noticed energetic differences. Basically, this method is a state that we go through many times through dreams (and one I use often for empathic connections as well), and similar to what some performers use to make them more focused on the task at hand when in front of others (such as speaking publicly, or a performing in a concert).
You can create one of these void atmospheres in as simple a way as reaching a calm point, concentrating on your present state of awareness and disconnecting from your surroundings (except for any you wish to specifically target and observe in more detail). You could also contain it if you want to make sure you keep this focus by creating a shielded space around yourself and the object, though this may limit your range of focus at first, but that can be overcome with practice.
I suggest starting off when you're calm though, like after meditation, and most of my practice involves creating a void around you and your object to help maintain my focus and a sort of connection. Other than that, a bit of concentration, and being able to sit still without worrying about time and minimize thought (that's what the calm part is about, excercising patience).
I don't think of it as tracking time though, just slowing down the processes of movement, and this is easiest to do when you can maintain concentration and visualize (not just see, but connect through feel, sound, sight, all senses that apply). Feeling the movement slow is one of the most important parts.
For example, you want to catch a fly, or at least keep track of it. If you just use sight alone to follow it, you will lose track and concentration pretty quick. But if you can not only see it's movements, but focus on the sound of it's wings wherever it may be in the room to tell whether it is getting closer or further away, you can start to feel when it's closer to you, and probably even get a good feel of where and when it might stop and continue flying. There are thin lines created between where or when something is, and when it was or will be. Do this for a while to start to get a good sense of control and connection with these timeframes.
Also understand that you can blink and still concentrate...I don't want anyone to screw up their vision or anything.
It's also important to be able to focus your concentration on one singular thing, or multiple motions of one object on separate tracks and block out all other distractions (I do this through that void method).
You can work with a diverse range of different things, really anything with movement or consciousness. It helps to start with something with a consistent pace though, such as a clock, stopwatch, an adjustable fan (either ceiling fan, or stationary, preferably one with higher speed settings), a moving train, then work with more conscious things, like a runner, moving car, a ball in motion, the frames of a simple looping animation, birds and animals in nature, etc.
Observing cause and effect reactions also helps alot. Objects with a looping motion help to observe as well, as a starting point, because there is an added factor of comfort in the predictibility and consistency of it.
I also suggest taking some time, maybe during meditation or personal reflection, to focus in on the rhythm of things, like feeling music as an energy, see it move, or your internal workings as they operate as a whole.
Also keep in mind that different light settings can affect the difficulty of some visuals, in slowing their movements (like with fans).
If you just wanted very basic steps, it's really just as simple as focusing on the object while it's moving and paying close attention to all the subtle changes that occur within a specific time frame, from there you can either slow or speed up the process. I suggest starting with slowing. To slow, this is where the steps above come in, connect to it with your senses (easier to do when in void state) and focus on what you want it to do, retain your concentration until this is achieved. Eventually it will become like flipping a switch, with a little practice.
The more you work with this, the more you can increase your ability to alter time at will, react to it, even to increase your own range of agility and generally reach greater speeds you may have thought impossible to acheive within everyday tasks, such as running. And you can build your overall understandings by perceiving everything on a much more heightened level.
Sorry if this still seems kind of broad, and a bit to read as well. Comment if you have any questions or concerns and I'll try to provide better answers. I hope this will help in your chronokinesis practices and pursuits. Best of wishes.
Time manipulation is like breaking down a film. The scene that you're watching in real life is the film, and you are breaking it down into individual frames. For some people, this happens naturally, especially in cases where adrenaline is involved. This is one reason vampires are natural time manipulators, whether they're trying to or not.
You first want to be looking anywhere there is movement, preferably something you don't control like your body parts. Though you can use those just as easily. But if you use your body parts, make sure you aren't just observing them, but the effects they have on things around you, set something in motion.
To slow things down, all you're really doing is adding more frames to the scene, or slow down the rate that the frames move. And to speed things up, you do the opposite. Take away frames, or accelerate the rate at which they move.
Now for some, you can think of it like a dvd, in the sense that if you focus enough on this, your eyes are the recorders, and your mind is the the dvd its stored on. So mentally, you can move things back, or move them forward. This doesn't just work on things you've seen though, if you know what you're doing. Say you go into an empty room, where something has probably happened at some point in the day, or is going to happen. Either focus on the feel of the room and rewind back to see what happened, or move it forward to see what will happen. If its something unreasonable, you're probably just imagining things.
And how you feel things, people, emotions and all that is very simple. Focus not on what you see right now, but on what the room feels like. If you want to practice this, you can go somewhere you know people will pass, and wait, if you're focusing on the room itself and how it feels, you will feel a difference in it, at first you probably won't know what the difference is, even if you don't see or hear them entering, or about to. You will feel something different around you, possibly emotionally, mentally, or physically. You may notice a feeling in your stomach or a tingling sensation, or maybe heat or wind coming from some direction near you, or maybe an outside emotion or thought that seems foreign, like it doesn't belong to you at this moment. For me its more physical because to focus I usually detach from all emotions around me. Though you can focus on other people's emotions very easily if you keep yourself open to other people and only disconnect your own emotions.
