Yep that's normal. What you feel is the ether. Try focusing in on it to make that feeling stronger. Then once you have gotten the hang of that try doing some telekinesis. Use a very light object though but one that outside forces won't move. Maybe a cap from a toothpaste tube. I am not sure it will work right away for you but just keep at it and it should once have you have opened them fully and learned how to use them work. Make sure to keep focus though because it is key.
