What is Clairvoyance and How Does It Work?

For those of you unfamiliar with the psychic ability of clairvoyance, it might seem supernatural and beyond comprehension. However, clairvoyance is more about an enhanced intuitive ability, a natural sixth sense taken to a whole new level. Some clairvoyants have strong abilities from birth, while others develop them through years of hard work and practice. If you want to learn more about the ability of clairvoyance, you have come to the right place.

Clairvoyance is the psychic ability of having a heightened sense of seeing. It is described as clear vision. Someone who possesses this ability can see images of people, places, or events in their mind’s eye. After they receive visual information, they can tell the person something about their past, present, or future. By doing this, clairvoyants showcase three types of abilities:

• Retrocognition-looking into the past
• Remote viewing-seeing events further than what can be seen with the naked eye
• Precognition-looking into the future

For some clairvoyants, an object, event, or conversation can become a trigger for a vision, delivering images into their mind’s eye. Others receive visions of the past or future in their dreams. Often a clairvoyant himself or herself does not know whether the images they have received are related to the past or to the future. In fact, with so many messages going through the minds of clairvoyants, they do not have control over them. They can only decide what to do with the information and how to decipher it.

Clairvoyants are able to receive information about the past, present, and future. They typically get visuals of a place, person, or object in their brow chakra, or the third eye. That is why it is said that clairvoyants see images in their mind’s eye. Sometimes, they receive complete images of events or objects, but most of the time the information comes in pieces. It can be colors, words, symbols, or anything of significance to the caller.

You might say it is only about intuition, but this is not entirely true. Clairvoyants can interpret the images they receive and based on that give helpful insights to the caller. Most clairvoyants have trouble describing how their abilities work. That is because in most cases they have had the psychic gifts from a young age. Others who have developed their abilities through training and practice could explain the workings of their intuitive abilities better.

The main types of clairvoyant abilities are called “clair senses.” These include any psychic abilities related to the sense of seeing, hearing, touch, smell, taste, knowing, or feeling. Based on the type of sense heightened, here are the main types of clairvoyant abilities.

Clairaudience is a psychic ability to receive sounds and voices without the help of physical hearing. Clairvoyants with the gift of clairaudience can hear words, names, phrases, or music – any sounds that others cannot hear. While those with clairvoyant ability receive images in their mind, those who possess clairaudience receive sounds instead.

This ability is also called psychometry. A clairvoyant can receive information about people and objects by touching them directly. Clairtangency is based on the belief that when we use objects, we leave small traces of our energy behind. By reading this energy, a clairvoyant can learn something about the object’s previous owners.

When a clairvoyant can feel smells associated with a person or place, he or she has the ability of clairscent. This is done without using the physical nose and the scents themselves do not have a physical origin. It can be noted that clairscent is not a very common type of clairvoyance.

When a psychic can perceive a substance or an object from someone’s past, present, or future, this ability is called clairgustance. For example, if a clairvoyant can taste cigarettes, this would mean the person in front of them smoked or smokes. It is an unusual ability but is common among clairvoyants.

Someone with a gift of clairsentience can receive information through physical sensations, feelings, or emotions. Such a person can also feel empathy toward others, something known as clairempathy. This ability can leave a clairvoyant overwhelmed because they are sensitive to all the energies around them.

You can turn to a clairvoyant if you are looking to gain clarity about your past, present, or future. Some common areas of life where you might be seeking answers are:

• Love, relationships and family
  If you are looking for advice about love and relationships, a reading by a clairvoyant can help you avoid being blinded by your emotions. They can tell you what they see about your current relationship and the decisions you are making. But do not ask a clairvoyant to tell you what you should do. When it comes to relationships, there are many factors involved, so you should just ask questions to receive information about you and your partner in order to make your own decisions.
• Career
  When you are making important decisions about your career, like changing jobs or aiming for promotion, a clairvoyant can give you insights about your situation and suggest the best course of action.
• Health
  There are clairvoyants that can observe your energies and tell you about your physical health and well-being. A psychic could sometimes tell you things that your doctor cannot see yet, so you might learn which areas of your health you should address sooner than others.
• Life path
  There are also times when you feel like not knowing what direction to take in life. If that is the case, a clairvoyant could tell you about your present and make you see the bigger picture.

Here’s hoping you got a deeper understanding of the term clairvoyance and the psychic abilities of a clairvoyant.
