You certainly have plenty of recommended reading, which I’m sure you will gain insights from, also it’s helpful to read other people’s experiences, and never worry that you are not experiencing the same things.
We are on our own individual journeys, which are unique to us, as our experiences will be.
As Linda said, when visiting the homes of others, we can often sense an atmosphere. If someone has just had a row, the atmosphere will tell us. Equally, if there is love and harmony, we pick that up too.
It’s a matter of being aware. I was taught how to draw spirit to me, how it felt, what to do if I felt uncomfortable, that helped me to become aware.
Relaxing with your back against a tree, letting the tree energy flow through you, just to see how you feel.
Lightly hold a piece of quartz crystal in your hand and feel the energy from it. Your hand might feel tingly.
Maybe hold a piece of someone’s jewellery, just to see how you feel, does any intuition come to you.
There is no right or wrong, it’s all experience, some of it pretty wonderful.
We all understand how someone can walk into a crowded room, and meet the eyes of another across the other side and bam.....it’s like a lightening bolt flying between the two.
We accept that each one can be aware of what the other is thinking. ( I fancy you,like mad ) sort of thing. We understand this
It’s just a matter of fine tuning, noticing, listening to our intuition.
Books and other folks experiences help a lot, but at the end of the day it cannot be hurried, as I said to someone else recently, it falls into place bit by bit. It’s wonderful when you get to know your guides and helpers, I talk to mine a lot.
You could ask your guides to make themselves known to you, they will do this in subtle ways, also, definitely take notice of any books seemingly launching themselves at you, they can be found in the most surprising places.
I don’t know if any of this is helpful, but please ask anything, they are a great bunch of folk on here, and will do all they can to help.
