Well, yesterday I woke up with a mean hangover, and the sun seemed a little extra bright. It felt a lot like God's finger poking me in the eye. Does that count?

The question is just another way of asking a blunt question " Is there a God ? "
I do not think that any one who did experience would really declare yes I experienced HIM , without foreseeing the trouble he has to encounter trying to describe, convince, or prove it to the other person who is asking !
With so many people over so many generations talking about it, it appears that this Experiencing God seems to have stood the test of time , is it not ? Well , if I say no, I haven't experienced, no further thing to discuss. But if I say yes, then how do I communicate ? Please see even logically, all that can be done is to help or persuade others to do whatever is needed to open up a possibility to have their own experience.
I can tell you for sure, it is something really beyond the sense organs to perceive. Another comforting logic, is He has to be present everywhere and that includes you too ! So the best place is to look within. The obvious question is what could be the hurdle ? Oh, again very simple, a deep sense of awareness, sharp alertness, and a very still mind is all that is required. See, if there is a God, will he not be interested in contacting you. It is all about just being really intense about it !

...experience something interesting
...experience something new
...hug or kiss someone
...buy something I need or desire
...enjoy myself when socialising
...visit a fascinating place
...make a new friend
...take a brilliant (or original) photograph
...learn something useful or interesting
...watch a brilliant film or TV programme
...do something positive
...wake up in the morning and have another day ahead
You get the idea. You can experience the 'Divine' in all sorts of things, even in the everyday minutiae of life.
Now for an actual experience. A couple of years ago, I had a rather bad time of things. After reaching something of a rock bottom, I went away on holiday to Canada, the USA and Brazil. I stayed for a few days in San Francisco.
One afternoon, I was out and about exploring Golden Gate Park, when I got blindsided by lots of worries, fears, and distressing thoughts. This was a horrible feeling and made me feel quite tearful etc. Not a pleasant experience.
However, I took a shortcut through the Peace Garden and Aids Memorial. There was something about the place which had a real effect on me. It was so tranquil and relaxing, and the pleasant Pacific Ocean breezes had a calming and soothing effect on me. All of a sudden, I could feel all of my worries and negative thought just floating away. It was as if the weight of the world had been lifted from off my shoulders.
I came out of the garden feeling completely different than when I had gone in. Maybe that was an experience of being touched by the Divine.

Yes. and it is the most beautiful experience ever!
There were happy times but the memorable ones were when I could cry my heart out and let Him put His arms around me. The feeling that He loved me were very reassuring.
Every time see Nature cannot but marvel ad be amazed at His handiworks.

Yes- Whenever I am at my lowest and I go to church, it seems that the pastor always preaches on the exact thing that has been weighing on my mind. That to me is being touched by God through someone else.

Show us on the doll where the omnipotent touched you.
Other than the obvious and rather poor joke I have never felt the touch of any supernatural beings.

I wish I could feel him, and sit on his lap :) But no, I've heard stories from friends about being touched by God though, I wish I was them!

yes. whenever i call Him.
sometimes we're just too busy not to notice His being part of our daily activities. Gods always there. watching over us and listening.
whenever i feel so empty, i call Him and asks Him to touch my heart and He always listened.
God bless you!

Yes, many times. Just when I needed Him most.
