CLAIRVOYANCE is the ability to see things with
your inner vision. It's one of the most popular, but also least understood, psychic gifts. It’s like watching a
movie in your mind. Some clairvoyants don’t necessarily see the future or have dramatic psychic visions like you might
see in movies. Clairvoyance can be quite subtle. For example, you might see a color, a number, or a symbol. Sometimes these
images aren’t meant to be taken literally, but symbolically. Other times, you might experience a vivid premonition.
Clairvoyants may also see auras, spirits, colors, shapes, organs, or glands in the body. They tend to be very direct, as their
ability focuses on uncovering hidden truths.
CLAIRAUDIENCE
is when hearing is involved. It’s often called "clear hearing." A clairaudient might hear answers to their
questions, or even hear things about events happening around them. This ability can also help a clairvoyant "hear"
voices from spirits during mediumship.
CLAIRSENTIENCE
is the ability to receive intuitive messages through gut feelings or physical sensations. Empathy, or feeling the emotions
of others, is a form of clairsentience. It’s about "clear feeling" – sensing other people's emotions
and situations. A clairvoyant with this ability can feel the full emotional state of others, going beyond sympathy to truly
experience what that person is feeling.
CLAIRCOGNIZANCE
is the ability to just know something. It’s like when you have a strong feeling you shouldn’t trust your
new neighbor, but you can’t explain why. That’s claircognizance. These feelings can be very strong, and sometimes
they come as intuitive thoughts that pop into your head unexpectedly. Claircognizance is all about "clear knowing."
REMOTE VIEWING is the ability to see things that are
far away. These aren’t usually visions of the future, but of the present. A person with this ability might sense when
something is wrong right as it happens because they "see" it in their mind. These clairvoyants are often skilled
at finding missing people or objects, as they can visualize where they are.
PSYCHIC TOOLS are objects that some clairvoyants use to help them focus their abilities. Some psychics
don’t utilise tools, but others find it helpful to use tarot cards, crystal balls, runes, oracle cards, tea leaves,
or other objects to tune into the information. These tools help the clairvoyant focus and open their mind to receive intuitive
insights. It also allows them to "shut down" or "close" their abilities when they need to. No psychic
is “always on” – they have to switch off, rest and focus on their own lives just like everyone else.
MEDIUMSHIP, CHANNELLING, OR CROSSING OVER refers to the
practice of mediums who act as a bridge between spirits and the living. Mediums use their psychic abilities to pass on messages
from spirits to people still on the physical plane. To do this, they may use one or more of the psychic abilities mentioned
above.
