Reminds me of martial arts or buddhists meanings.
What about "sensitise oneself," "tune in to ..." (as we tune a radio to
pick up a signal), "turn on" (in hippy speak) "or open oneself" (open a
door for something to come into you)? Or can "explore, research, etc"
convey the meaning? "alert" can be a verb, but again mainly reflexive
"alert oneself to" or "be alert to".
"Perception" and "perceive" but again these usually need an object.
