How to awaken?

Hope I don't get flamed for this question as it's coming from a place of knowing very little. I've always had an interest in, but only recently started to really learn about, spirituality. I grew up going to church but turned to the work of eg Brian Weiss when I went through a period of grief. Left it all behind only to suddenly have an upsurge in a feeling of being drawn back to this recently. What I want to do is hone my intuition, perhaps develop abilities to see visions or clairaudience. Is it possible for laymen to develop these abilities? I've listened to a lot of podcasts and meditations. I think part of my problem is I am quite anxious and emotional at the moment and I'm assuming that will hold me back. It's a bit random to ask this on here I know but I'm not sure where to start so seems as good a place as any!

Depends on how you define awaken?

It can mean different things to different people.

For example a Buddhist will meditate in order to awaken to nirvana.

I would like to develop skills in communication - clairsentience/clairvoyance/clairaudience? I'd like to connect with guides and source. No religious pathway as such. I guess when I say awaken I mean spiritually open and connected. I don't even know if that makes sense. Thank you for replying :-)

I would take some time to sit with feeling anxious and emotional and seek support for that first if you need to. You may have healing work to do first on yourself. I can't really comment on those other abilities, but in my experience you have to first start to look at yourself. Take care and good luck.

Thank you- yes, I think that's holding me back. Though on a practical side it's hard to figure out what to do to start other than meditation

These skills don't come overnight, what you're aiming at here could take years of dedicated practice. If you find a spiritual system you're attracted to and comfortable with, get stuck in. Start at the beginning, practice every day and build your way up. There will be blocks along the way, but keep working at it and you'll get there.
