Feel for

Hi

I'm just wondering what "feel for" in the context below means?

"It is the basis of the Universe, and as you begin to understand this basis of your world and begin to feel for your awareness of this Source Energy that is the basis of all things , you will then more clearly understand everything about your own experience and the experiences of those around you"
