Energy senses
Did you know you are psychic?
We are all connected. Energy moves to and through us all the time like the air we breathe. Like the air it is invisible to the naked eye, but it touches us all. This is how we connect whether we realize it or not. We have all been given senses to navigate this energy environment. These are often considered “extra” senses and are usually referred to as ESP, “extra sensory perception” or psychic gifts. Psychics are usually considered as unusual. They are seen as an outlier of the human population, which is a false perception. EVERYONE HAS THE CAPACITY AND ABILITY TO SENSE ENERGY. IT IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT. Some of us just sense it more strongly than others, like some people smell better or see better than others.
Culture also has a huge role in how we use or shut down our energy senses. Since connection through energy is the basis of our psychic gifts, that greater connection gives us greater insight into the motivations and lives of others. Children are naturally gregarious and have no cultural filter. That can put them in situations that cause distress for their family when they blurt out uncomfortable information that they have picked up through energy. This causes distress for them when their elders get upset about it. For a kid that is a scary experience. The more it happens, the more a child wrongfully learns to doubt their own senses.
The longer a child doubts their own senses the more a child doubts themselves. This is a dangerous state to live in. Our number one strength when navigating the unknown in the world is our own ability to listen to and trust our inner senses and sense of self. It does not matter how acute our senses are if we are taught not to pay attention to them.
Misunderstandings about what psychic information is, due to a lack of understanding of how energy works, have also caused fear and repression of energy senses. Use of energy senses has been labeled as ‘wrong’, ‘evil’, ‘of the devil’, ‘magic’, ‘witchcraft’, ‘immoral’, and a bunch of other uncomplimentary and false things. Psychic senses are like any other ability. Their morality is based on the intent of the user. A hand can be used to heal or hurt someone. It is the will behind the hand, not the hand itself that is the cause of the outcome. The hand is just a hand.
The 6 Clairs: The 6 energy senses
The 6 clairs are clairsentience, claircognizance, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairalience, and clairgustance. ‘Clair’ comes from the latin root ‘clarus’ meaning “light, bright, clear”. The 6 clairs are mirrors of our other senses. One or two senses are usually more dominant in each person than the others, but it is entirely possible to have and experience all of the clairs at one time or another. All of the clairs have the capacity to feel the presence of angels, spirits, fairies (nature angels), and spirit guides.
Clairsentience means “clear feeling”. People who are clairsentient get psychic information through emotions, feelings, and sensations in their body. They are also referred to as empaths. Clairsentients can experience the emotions and feeling states of others. Sometimes they can feel events before they happen.
clairsentience
Claircognizance or “clear knowing” means getting psychic information through knowing. Claircognizance causes information to pop into a person’s mind without them knowing where it came from. It usually comes with a feeling of calm certainty. Even if the information is distressing it comes through without drama or fear.
claircognizance
Clairvoyance means “clear seeing”. This is the most well known and common of the clairs. Clairvoyance happens when a person sees energy. This can be perceived with their physical eyes or their mind’s eye. There are different types of seeing. Some people see the personal energy aura of others. Some see spirits, angels, and spirit guides. Some can see events unfold from the past, present, or future. Some can see how energy moves in the body. Or they see all of the above.
clairvoyance
Clairaudience or “clear hearing” is the experience of hearing psychic energy. The most common type of clairaudience is the ability of a person to hear angels, spirits, or spirit guides with their physical ears. Some people hear music with no apparent source, but it has meaning for them.
Clairaudience
Clairalience means “clear smelling”. People who are clairalient gain psychic information via smell. To someone who is clairalient a negative situation may literally smell bad. Clairalients perceive smells with no apparent source. The most common experience of clairalience is when a deceased loved one makes their presence known by leaving behind a scent they are known by like perfume or cigarette smoke.
Clairalience
Clairgustance means “clear tasting”. People who are clairgustant experience psychic energy through taste. The phrase “leaves a bitter taste in your mouth” can be a real thing for these clairs. Clairgustants experience tastes that have no apparent cause in response to energetic stimuli. For example a clairgustant may taste apple pie when being visited by a deceased grandmother that they associate with that taste.
Clairgustance
