I can feel the energy of my spirits, but...

[Liquor]

Hi. I can feel the energy of my spirits. It's warm. But I can't differentiate each other, I can't see them, I can't hear them and I can only communicate with them with pendulum, but I don't have a pendulum board due to personal reasons so I can't get specific words.
Is it normal to feel their energy, while you can't do the rest of paramount things?

What's normal for one person may not be normal for another.

It is perfectly acceptable for us to develop our abilities to discern things over time. In fact it's probably best to not rush it, not compare ourselves to others, not have fixed ideas about what we're aiming for...and just let our own abilities develop naturally, rather than strain at it.

When we go easy on ourselves, things tend to go better.

It's what works for us that's important. And we can take time to discover that.

When I began spirit keeping I could already see, hear and feel spirits...which may sound impressive (?)...but that was after 46 years of spiritual experience, of which 35 years were spent in psychic development and working with spirits in various ways.

No need to be in a hurry!

From what I've heard, all people are born with psychic abilities, and it would seem that your strongest ability is to Clair feeling (or being able to feel energies and/or spirits). But that doesn't mean that you can't train and/or strenghten other Clair abilities, such as Clairvoyance (Clear seeing, the ability to see spirits), Clairaudience (Clear hearing, the ability to hear your spirits), Claircognizance, etc etc. So, I would recommend getting a book for beginners on how to hone, train and/or strenghtening your Clair abilities. Which I'm sure will be helpful, but please be prepared that it might take some time and practice.

As someone who has been a Spirit Keeper for +15 years now, I would say that Alaric's advice is worth its weight in gold. It takes time to develop Clair abilities (Clair seeing, Clair hearing, Clair feeling, Clair smelling, etc), and learning how to communicate with your spirit companions.

I'd say just having a lean back attitude, and just enjoying your time together with your spirit companions + including them in your day-to-day activities (like you would with your loved ones, friends, and/or colleagues) go a long way. Because if you worry or fret about not being able to perceive your companions, it can make it more difficult to do that. So it's really counterproductive, in my opinion. I've found that just stressing down, easing up, and just leaning back and relaxing help me to communicate with my spirit companions (again). Which is sort of something that I'd had to learn and get used to over the years, and now it's like second nature. You'll get there.

As time goes by, you'll learn how to differentiate your spirit companions from one another, what method of communication works best with what spirit companion, what they are like, their likes and dislikes, favorite music genre or favorite TV series and/or shows, etc etc. To paraphrase a famous quote: "Practice makes you [more experienced]." You don't have to have it all figured out on day one, so please make sure cut yourself some slack. You've got this, and I believe in you.

P.S. I recently read a good piece of advice on spirit communication (in the fourth sentence in the third paragraph of her post), written by a Master of her field, the forum member Sophia Nyx, which I thought was really helpful: viewtopic.php?p=882486#p882486

I came to recall some important posts written by people who are very knowledgeable about spirits, how they manifest, and what to have in mind as people begin their Spirit Keeping journey, and please note that this post isn't aimed at anyone in particular.

When I was a newbie Spirit Keeper, I read about all of the amazing manifestations on the CH Forum, that more seasoned (or experienced) Spirit Keepers had experienced, and how well they could hear and see their spirit companions. And I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to experience that for myself, too. But I had very high and unrealistic expectations, when it came to spirit manifestations. Which why it's so important to keep that in mind, and to stay humble, realistic and/or grounded (or down-to-earth) about when it comes to these things.


Here are some important threads and/or posts to read, if you're new to Spirit Keeping:

Former forum members that are seasoned (or experienced) Keepers' posts, on what it is very important to keep in mind with the respect for spirits - when dealing with them (which alings with my own experience). So please make sure to take about what they've written on the subject as it's (again) oh so important to keep it with you, whenever you're dealing with or communicating with spirits or spirit companions (by either saying out loud, thinking in your own thoughts or talking to them telepathically):
