3. our clair senses & how we get psychic information
How your intuition/psychic abilities might be showing up in your everyday life...
Everyone is born with intuitive/psychic abilities; it’s our gift when we decide to incarnate on this planet. Our clairs help us to remain in contact with our origin (eg. Higher Self) and beloved Spirit Team. Our intuition shows up constantly in our daily life & when we can recognize it and work with it, we can further develop our abilities (including clear communication with our Spirit Team, manifesting & experiencing the magic of this world).
There are four main clairs that are often described in spiritual development.
The 4 main clairs are:
clairvoyance (‘seeing’)
clairaudience (‘hearing’)
clairsentience (‘feeling’)
claircognizance (‘knowing’)
CLAIRCOGNIZANCE (‘Clear Knowing’ = Our ability to really trust)
Our sense of ‘inner knowing’. I’m covering this clair first because it could be the main clair for you, but it’s often tricky to fine tune, only because it’s VERY heavily tied in with knowing how to deeply trust. Unlike the other clairs, where evidence/experiences can occur, this ability is about turning inward WITHOUT needing external validation. We are often taught at a young age that proof (eg. fact or evidence) is how you back up your point.
This psychic ability means knowing things without clear explanations. If you have claircognizance, you're in tune with your surroundings. It's not always about facts, but about trusting your inner guidance. You might experience sudden insights or realizations that seem to come out of nowhere (eg. they ‘drop right in’).
‘random’ thoughts in your head
knowing you love someone
feeling a ‘pull’ to do or say something
knowing you’re attracted to someone
knowing what you need to do next in your life (eg. after graduation, or a job opportunity comes up)
knowing when someone is lying to you
being able to ‘read’ a situation
knowing your preferences (eg. what you want for dinner, what movie you want to watch, what do you want to do on your day off)
knowing what something feels ‘off’
CLAIRSENTIENCE (‘Clear Feeling’ = Our ability to really be in awareness)
One of the most natural but undervalued of all psychic gifts is our ability to sense the emotions or feelings of other people/animals; to be able to detect the presence of Spirit & to observe the conditions of our physical and energetic surroundings.
Our physical and energetic bodies act as ‘antennas’ & can feel the vibration, frequency, and intention of our surrounding field. Every living thing has an aura - the energy field that surrounds all matter. Both psychic and mediumistic emanations are received and transmitted through the aura. You can learn to expand your aura or contract it depending on your environment. This psychic ability is felt through the solar-plexus centre.
Psychometry is the practice of using items infused with someone’s energy, enabling you to gain past and present information.
feeling the music in your body
feeling the vibe/energy of the room
being able to feel the same emotion as the person having the actual experience
getting goosebumps or a chill when it’s not cold
feeling heat when it’s not hot
specific ways your body ‘lights’ up when meditation (eg kundalini with the rubbing hands) or energy work (eg reiki)
having a gut feeling (eg your body actually reacts to a ‘yes’ vs ‘no’)
feeling like someone is watching you when you are alone
CLAIRAUDIENCE (‘Clear Hearing’ = Our ability to really listen)
I just LOVE tapping into this very special sense because I personally love to engage in story-telling, long deep felt conversations, music & sound baths. This ability is the inner-sense of hearing - names/dates/sayings/melodies etc. Some people hear objectively (outside of themselves) while others hear subjectively (in their mind). The sound current can mimic their own vocals or sound like entirely different people or beings.
The undertone of adapting this special skill is also learning how to really and truly listen. So often we hear, but are we actually listening? These sounds can occur in big moments, very subtly or even in complete silence. It’s audio when it’s thought FIRST than feeling.
a loud sound (eg. crash or honk) while you’re talking to confirm or warn you - a sign from the universe
you ask the universe a question and a song comes on - a line will stick out as the answer
hearing a bypassing conversation where a phrase sticks out
slight ringing in the ear (make sure you feel alright)
what is the undertone (eg. Ego has excuses, Higher Self can be blunt and direct; both just see different perspectives)
can you hear sounds in your head (eg. a bell sound vs drums)
CLAIRVOYANCE (‘Clear Seeing’ = Our ability to really believe)
Clairvoyance is the inner-sense of seeing. You can see outside of yourself in the form of signs, energy or light, actual beings. As well, you can receive images in your minds eye (the third eye).
Guided meditations or listening to audio books can help work this muscle of bringing images to life. Remembering the details of dreams can also be a form of this sense. Spend time letting your eyes watch things that don’t have a particular pattern (eg. campfire or candle, the wind moving leaves on a tree, watching clouds in the sky, etc.).
Spirit can use everything in our world as visual prompts - remember they have colours and creatures and landscapes we don’t in this world. (In fact, a lot of fantasy writing comes from downloading images of other worlds).
daydreaming or imaging
vivid dreams
seeing an image or VISUALIZING in your mind’s eye (third eye) during meditation or reading fiction
seeing a sign in the physical world (eg. the picture of a bird as a sign for one of your guides)
seeing white around people (the first layer) or colours form auras
seeing actual ‘light’ from beings that moves
seeing a ‘movie’ play in your head while GETTING a download
Other clairs include:
Clairsalience (‘smell’)
Clairgustance (‘taste’)
Clairtangency (‘touch’)
Clairempathy (‘emotions’)
I recommend when developing your abilities, to keep a separate journal where you can track your progress over time & review when needed. For those looking to practice their gifts and learn more about spiritual development, my membership, Kindred Spirits over on Patreon is a great place to get support and community engagement.
