Learning to Percieve & Sense subtle energies
This exercise helps you become more aware of subtle energies beyond the physical, it helps you attune your senses to more subtle or finer energies and lets you become aware of yourself as an energy being and not just a physical being.
Exercise to become aware of and increase sensitivity to subtle energies
Most people think of themselves as purely physical with no energy association. They have no or little perception or awareness to energies within themselves at all. Again cultural assumptions support the perception of ourselves as a purely physical Being.
For some there can be quite a lot of fear to feeling energies within their physical form. This is because to experience this would result in them having to re-adjust their model of reality. This is what ‘change’ means to re-adjust your model of reality.
To start, I would like you to hold your hands out in front of you much like you would hold a serving tray but with your palms facing each other. Very gently move your hands about the thickness of your little finger toward each other and then away almost like you are playing an accordion.
Do this a few times maybe for 30 seconds. Can you feel any resistance as they move closer together? Do you have a sense of them connected by energy and that energy is oscillating between them making the space feel thicker when your hands move together.
If you are sensitive and your energies are good then you will be able to feel these effects.
Then work with the following statement of intent. You say this internally in a way that means ‘I WANT THIS’:
‘With Full and Total INTENT.’
‘I ask that the TrueSpirit teams work with me NOW. I ask that they give me everything to make me as sensitive as possible to all the subtle energies around me. I ask to have my sensitivity to subtle energies amplified a million fold. I ask for this now – and so it is – thank you.’
Now try the gentle hand waving bit again; see if you can feel any difference. If you felt something before it should be much stronger now. If you previously felt nothing you have 10 times more chance of feeling something now – if you still cannot then say the last part of the statement again for emphasis. Now we are going to boost the energy between your hands, just to increase this energy even more.
Amplifying or increasing perception & sensitivity to subtle energies
So, to do this say:
‘I ask to have all my awareness channels fully opened, I ask for all appropriate energies that I have connections with be brought through, I ask for these energies to channel right through me and out my palms to create a ball of energy between my hands. I ask that my support teams in Spirit to increase the energy coming through me to do this until the energy ball becomes very distinct and solid. I ask that they do this now – thank you.’
A ball of energy should now start to build up between your hands; you can help this process by visualising it appearing and growing in strength.
Now, try moving your hands in the same way again and see what you feel. For those of you with reasonable sensitivity you should find it quite difficult to bring your hands closer because there will be too much resistance. Now, slowly, try cupping your hands so that the energy ball is sitting on them.
Then say:
‘I ask that my support team move this ball of energy and place it within me so that I can feel its action, I ask for this to be done in the most appropriate way for me at this time for my movement into ALL THAT I AM. I ask that they do this now.
Thank you.’
Depending on your sensitivity level you will be able to feel the energy ball leave your hands and enter your body. Usually I feel it spreading out within me in all directions – but anything could happen. Enjoy.
You could also try putting this in your body yourself (then don’t say the last bit – just do it). Move your hands to place or push the build up of energies into your body; what does that feel like?
If you are trying this with someone else then perhaps you could pass your energy ball to them? Can they feel this when it’s passed to them?
What to do NOW?
Well there are other exercises here which you could try and a page describing subtle energies in more depth presented in a way to help you understand what they really are better. This is here; Accessing spiritual dimensions and subtle energies. Also, there is an exercise on how to meet with nature spirits, devas and so on here; Exercise; Connect with & become aware of Nature Spirits and another on helping you become more sensitive to perceptions of subtle things outside of yourself which you will find here; Developing awareness of spirit guides and friends.
Have fun . . . .
. . . amazing tales of accessing other realities, dimensions and other worlds and what you may encounter there?
Hello Clive,
I bought the Personal Unity Facilitator and supplemental book on how to communicate with Divine Spirit four years ago. This supplemental tool and book have been the basis of my emotional and spiritual work… thank you greatly for creating this and for making this available to those on the path to consciousness.
Best, Mary Jo
PS… I went to Brazil in August to see John of God.. and, later found out that my most trusted business resources in the US are Brazillian… gotta wonder how this world really works.
I just tried this while following your instructions! I definitely could feel energy! My hands are tingling now as I type this :-O
Hi Lisa, it takes practice to do this, you might like the other ‘exercises’ here to help get in touch more with ‘nature spirits’ and the rest.
I followed the instructions and was able to complete the exercise successfully. Strange though, while yours spread out mine seemed to enter into the heart chakra with thump. As if it were a heavy rock. Then it began to make my arms and hand tingle and distribute itself. Thanks that was great.
hey clive thanks for the INFO but i am not able to find it i did click on the word dragon in find by word menu but i just couldn’t find any more INFO regarding these beings so if you could help me out in some way to answer my queries i’ll be really glad
are you a healer clive ? i’ve never met a healer before 
You need to click on the titles of the dragon list to get the full pages. Then read these. I’m a sort of healer / therapist resolving people life problems; healingexamples.com gives examples written by my clients.
Hi!. My path has lead me, stumbling, to this site. Thank you so much for this info! While I’ve yet to “see” any nature spirits there was a time when I was younger that I could feel them, so I know they are there. My progress currently seems a bit stagnant and perhaps my desire to make some sort of contact has merely left me frustrated (and trying to hard?) I will practice with these exercises. Again, thank you for sharing

In my experience with clients a large number of people have either themselves or have had things done to them (for not good reasons) to block off such abilities. So, what you are experiencing is not unknown to me. My own abilities were much reduced and in some cases almost none existent until I cleared what was blocking these.
Hi Clive, Do you mean cleared like as in clearing blocked chakras? Or are you talking about something else all together?
When attempting the above exercise with the energy ball, I can feel heat. However, I’m not sure if what I feel is my created energy ball or simply the warmth from my hands. Maybe there isn’t a difference? Afterall, heat is energy.
I’m talking about something else all together Kelly. Read my reply to your ‘what’s happening to the dream demon’ comment.
I tried this and I have to say I was surprised at how vividly i felt the effects. And after putting the energy ball “inside” i moved my hands once more like the first step, and there was no more resistance.
Hey Clive, me and my boyfriend did this together, and I felt it completely but he didn’t. Is there any reason for this? (btw it was an amazing experience!)
It all depends on how sensitive people are? Some will feel things strongly and some not at all. There are lots of ‘paths’ that scare people or try and force people to not explore these areas which goes some way toward keeping these areas not only closed off to folk in general but also ensures that there is limited to no investigations or research into these and hence a reliance on default dogmas for each person. So, like you are experiencing as a Catholic I experienced the same having such experiences as a scientist. I moved on, but that was my choice.
for most of my life(or as long as i can remember) ive been waiting for the answers to find me, with no results and it seemed that everything i do is for a reason but what i dont know. I love life and nature and all it has to offer i can hear the breeze like the earth is breathing in my ear all the while i feel the presence but never see when i truelly want to. When i cry i go outside to a place of peace to let my sorrows flow away from me just as i do when i need a companion. I dont see them but i can feel them and if i listen without trying to hear, i can hear them whispering and laughing for me which changes my mood so happiness like you wouldnt believe. when i feel sick or down i know ive been neglecting going outside to enjoy lifes natural beauties, those secrets that perhaps cant be seen unless granted the gift. I’ve only seen once but felt always, mostly when i need a friend to bring me joy and laughter. They are there and real even if you cant see them some times but instead feel them.
Tried doing this exercise after my wrists got hurt from typing in the keyboards too much and washing my hands. My right wrist felt mild stabbing pain due to ‘electric shock,’ as if sharp knives / needles went through it. Then I moved my arms in a circular motion without asking the ‘TrueSpirit’ teams to help me. Suddenly ‘electricity’ and ‘heat’ shot through my arms, and I could generate heat in front of me. The pain disappeared for a while. Then I mentally read the first two ‘intents’ written on this website. I got so scared and shut down. AND I could hardly generate any heat energy at all.
Now my right wrist is not hurt but my left wrist is slightly hurt, not to mention that my throat got itchy. I’m still scared.
This is the first time I generated stronger heat energy than usual without doing yoga. (The first two times I attempted this, I could only create a puny ball of heat energy. I had been so damn afraid of ’summoning’ any beings for the past three months.) I think the circular motion I did with my arms and hands are similar to tai chi though…
i try it, i did notice that the closer my hand gets the harder it is to move and it tend to try to avoid each other. i can feel a little pressure.
Does feeling subtle energies include feeling the presence of wind/air currents? Is it possible to manipulate wind/air currents in one’s immediate surroundings? I’ve always felt at home and in touch with nature whenever I feel a breeze pass by me.
In Philippine culture, abnormally cold/chilly air inside an abandoned mansion/haunted house/airtight room or building usually indicates presence of ghosts/spirits/beings.
Recently I feel less scared when trying this exercise. I hope to overcome my fear of the ‘invisible’ someday.
Since i became more sensitive, i am also able to appreciate the feeling and presence of a passing ‘breeze’, ‘air current’ whilst being outside. It feels very nuturing, caring and supportive and comes with a reminder of the ’spiritual presence’ within everything, I will often get a sense of connection and companionship – a ‘WE are here’ feeling too.
Speaking of ’spiritual presence’ that accompanies breezes, air currents, or wind — I notice that it can be used as a sign of ‘ominous’ things to come. Weather sensitive ones can tell if heavy rain or typhoons are about to arrive simply by feeling or smelling the air around them.
The wind can also be mischievous sometimes. Just today, while teaching two public elementary school kids as part of volunteer work, a strong gust of wind blew my visual aids away. To begin with, I didn’t have much time to complete my lesson plan, so my execution wasn’t really good to begin with.
‘Coincidentally,’ the kids were in their worst behavior today. I had trouble keeping them engaged and making them stay still. They were too eager to go home and really manipulated me several times.
I guess nature has its way of making us face our realities instead of running away from them.
I didn’t feel anything. am I doing something wrong to mess this up? the first time I did this i felt only a little bit of pressure and then nothing the second time I felt nothing at all
Well, Trevor each individual is different and some people are very insensitive or have blocked themselves off from feeling or becoming aware in different ways. Download and try working with the selfhealinghandbook.com
Oh.. I felt the ball of energy distinctly!! But as soon as I ask to move it into my body the energy evaporated, I could feel it! Is it in my body already? Or it’s disappeared??
It’s different for everyone Anne, I spent years ‘playing’ with ’subtle’ perceptions and senses ‘attuning’ myself to these as well as to understand their boundaries for myself. We, have to assume that these experiences are personal to each person and they are not something you can give a ‘paint by numbers’ scripted answer to.
Hi clive, yes I know it`s 9 years since we last spoke, I was hoping to catch you recently at home but missed you. I have started my spiritual journey by going regularly to my local spiritual church, i have tried the waving hands and felt the energy rather like squeezing a balloon, and am noticing more subtle energies around me, including visions while in the sleep /semi sleep state, i practise the statements every night but still don`t feel that the communication is getting through,am i blocked or too impatient, maybe we can talk soon, best wishes Paul
Yea, I went and played at a spiritual church for a brief while – it’s a good place to start and their often friendly. There is a lot that can be messing with people A LOT especially to seriously #**# up subtle senses and sometime it can take a major effort to clear what’s blocking and sabotaging. This link HERE is of a guy working with me and what he put up with and worked to clear because he was trying to engage with subtleties / energy work / doing some healing with people. It took some serious effort. I’ve sent you an e-mail.
I tried doing this exercise again. Even before I began, the heat energy in my hands were already strong. This time, when I used the first intent, the energy grew a bit stronger. But I still have trouble creating the ball of energy. The heat energy is still present, but the resistance is almost absent. I seem unable to condense the heat energy into a solid mass of energy ball.
Since 2004, the death of my partner, I have been enriched, enlighted, and very eager of the “spritiual” world and its workings. i am a nurse and am a very caring and compassionate person. i have doubts of my “sensitivity” levels despite some very awesome and wonderful experiences. after a moving experience, i will question my memory and sometimes rationalize the event but dont want too. i want to believe and master this gift to help myself find personal love and to later help others. i really believe we are here to help others discover and share this powerful connection of love to one and other. thanku for reading my note.
