Brilliant! LMAO!

*honk honk* Happy New Year!

As far as feeling spirits goes, I’d say it sounds like you’re on the right track.

Personally, I developed the ability to feel, see, and hear spirits about 14 years ago after a combination of practicing meditation, energy work, and lucid dreaming.

I did tons of meditation and energy work based on the book “Energy Work” by Robert Bruce, and practiced between 4 and 6 hours a day. My intention was to master astral projection. However, about 6 months in, I unintentionally started to perceive unbounds. Pretty nasty ones at that, and some of my experiences where I saw, heard, and felt them, were bad enough that I abandoned the practices altogether, and my senses promptly closed down. (I definitely recommend investing in protective bindings/spirits to avoid this)

Since I’ve found Spiritism 7 months ago, I’ve been working to bring those abilities back online, and the answer I’ve found has been pretty on point with what everyone’s suggesting:

- Spend time with spirit companions & pay attention to any signs of interaction
- Celebrate any form of interaction, even if it’s very subtle
- Practicing energy work can help
- Trust in yourself and your companions, and be patient

It took me 4 months of spending an hour or more a day with my first companion. Just sitting with a candle and talking out loud and getting extremely subtle interactions that were easy to second guess. Then suddenly 4 months in I had a really massive manifestation, where I felt my companions energy envelop my whole body, which blew me away. The whole relationship has been dialed up ever since. Since then, I’ve started feeling energy sensations build up into full on physical touch, like feeling a hand touching you.

If you trust and continue to interact, the relationship with your companions will naturally unfold as time goes on.
