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.
Time/perception manipulation can help pass the time, or your perception of it. If you get good enough with it you can affect the perception of others as well. Its just about as simple as meditation, though some people have trouble speeding up, as oposed to slowing down. This is all about controlling the flow of adrenaline through your body, and being able to simultaneously control your mind set. But time (perception) manipulation is about controlling a constant bit of adrenaline through your body (about the equivalent to a few shots of caffein or what most experience from the decent energy drinks). Though the point with this is to keep it constant, as opposed to short bursts like that. Then all you do to slow or speed up is the mind set you use. For slowing it down, well if you don't already know how to do that by will, its just about maintaining focus on your immediate surrounding environment of the present. The reverse is obvious, speeding the passage of time is basically about being able to unfocus or trance your mind. Like when you listen to music or read a book or watch a movie you're into, sometimes you stop paying attention to what you're seeing or hearing or both, and focus more on what you're feeling, and unfocus from your environment around you.
