What is clairvoyance?

The ability to sense or see objects or events outside of physical space and time is how we experience and discern things that are not present to our physical senses.

Clairvoyance, or psychic abilities, takes many forms. Perhaps you recognize one or more of the following senses in yourself.

• Clairvoyant (clear vision)

• Clairaudience (clear audio /hearing)

• Clairsentience (clear sensation or feeling) - also known as being an empath

• Clairscent (clear smelling)

• Clairtangency (clear touching) - more commonly known as psychometry

• Claircognizance (clear knowing)

Have you “known” that something was wrong with a child and then received a phone call or information confirming this? Do you have stories about people in your family that saw a ghost, or could see aura colours around a person? Did you feel chills when a loved one passed even though they were miles away when it happened? We can all sense beyond our physical perceptions.

Although my abilities may seem unique, they are in fact our birthright–we are each intuitive and clairvoyant.

In my family there were people who could see auras, heal through touch, dream of flying through cities, which they then could navigate upon visiting them years later, or who saw and spoke to a loved one at the time of their passing, which happened somewhere else in the country. My mother remembers someone coming to their house to dowse for a new well (also known as divining for water), which involved using two sticks to locate a new underground water source. I've known people who could see "weird" energy in old buildings, who could see ghosts or who could see orbs of light. I've known too many people with too many stories to think that all this is anything other than normal.

Some people have been gifted a strong connection and have to learn to control and work with their abilities. Most of the rest of us have a fuzzy connection to our extra sensory abilities, which we can strengthen through awareness, practice and training.

There is more than meets the eye to life. Specifically, there is energy and perception that is outside of our physical senses and it is not unusual. Being curious about our own intuition opens us to inner joy and wonder. Working with our sensory perception helps create more peace and calm as we grow our inner awareness.
