HI Sky, well although I have to say, the best experiences have most often been unexpected, I will say that there is one way to find them. Meditation
and silencing the mind is very helpful, although not as expectation of any certain outcome, just a clear uncluttered mind is great in all instances.
I have noted that the most recent sightings have been in broad daylight. I suggest that you go to a large body of water during a lightning storm.
Remain safe of course, but look at the base of clouds during and after the weather event and you will most probably see one.
The mind has a way of shutting off the ability to see them as they are in a different frequency than our dimensional realm. I don't know how to tell
anyone the secret to overcoming this phenomenon, but a relaxed and open heart and meditation tapping into the inner world can be very helpful.
There is something about giving up for me that makes it happen, I mean all my life I have been able to see them, and sometimes I look so hard and see
nothing, then about the time I begin to question my own sanity or figure the types I am connected to are gone from this plane of existence, Valhalla!
They throw me a bone...
If you don't have expectations, you won't be let down, but if you are not open to seeing it won't happen either.


, mediative
state...yes. 

The reason I ask is because I too am compelled to be outside during a storm ...
especially on the beach if circumstances permit (very strong energy).
