Experiencing to Holy Spirit, to me, has been in times of contemplation, decision making and worship. 
During contemplation it’s an overwhelming sense of comfort and understanding of the world around doesn’t really need to make sense. 
With decision making, again with me, it’s what people often describe as a “gut feeling” but one with a certainty that seldom comes during decision making processes. Once I have that feeling about something, I almost never change the decision. Does it always work? Well, not the way I thought it would.
During worship it’s hard to explain. It’s a release. A release of worries, of decisions, of troubles and of my agendas. It is a comforting presence that yes, at times gives me goose bumps. It’s also a feeling of relaxation and understanding that yeah, God is Big Enough to handle all in this world…because he made it.

Describing the Holy Spirit to a new Christian: That is very difficult for me because I’m explaining a feeling. It is a part of God that he left with each of us when Jesus ascended into heaven to provide us with an ever-present part of Himself that guides us and provides direct access to God. 

Questions about the Holy Spirit: How to better understand it and have it guide me in my daily walk. 

An adequate understanding: No, no I don’t.

When I think of the Holy Spirit I think of “the presence of God with me.

The Holy Spirit is with me all the time.  It is just a peace, joy, knowledge, “feeling” that I am in the will of God.  That my mind, body, and soul are His. That I am loving Him as He calls me to do.  There is no confusion and no questions.  I hate that many times (lots) I ignore the Holy Spirit and life gets messy.  But, I know that in those times the Holy Spirit is still there.

I have difficulty explaining to a friend.  I never have an adequate understanding of anything.  I am learning to be content with the mysteries.  Also, it’s why I love my pastors.  They help me step by step in my understanding.
