What Are The Psychic Senses?

Many people refer to the psychic senses as "the sixth sense." But what exactly does this entail? Below are descriptions of these psychic senses, what they mean, and how they work. All of us have the ability to use these senses; but some are more sensitive than others, either through natural ability or psychic or spiritual development. Like all our senses, they become stronger the more we use them; and weaken when we don't. The more trust you place in your "instincts" - which are in fact your psychic senses - the more reliable they will become. If you do not trust in your own self - then naturally, you will not be using your psychic senses accurately. Many of us experience episodes of psychic phenomona in our lives, and write them off as bizarre one off experiences; but with practice and development, using the sixth sense can become natural and a part of your every day life. Some people are afraid of the idea of using the sixth sense, because they wonder where "it comes from". The simple answer is, it comes from you. Where do any of your thoughts and feelings come from? Why would it be any different with using the sixth sense? Its about simply listening to yourself respectfully and not dismissing what you are hearing, feeling, or seeing. The term "Clair" is French prefix for clear; so below are explanations for the psychic senses.

What Is Clairvoyance? (Clear Seeing)

Clairvoyance is the ability to "see" things with the Third Eye. People use clairvoyance to perform energy work, perceive the aura, and to see spirits. Most people are not born naturally clairvoyant; however some people develop the skill over a long period of time through spiritual development, deep meditation and or guidance from a teacher. It is believed that learning Reiki can open a person up to clairvoyance, as can spiritual learning such as yoga and meditation. People who are clairvoyant see things such as: spirits; auras; sparkling lights; mists; passed on relatives or pets; and otherworldly creatures. Clairvoyants can often "read minds" by "seeing" visions of situations that surround that person; or they can determine the past or future by visions.

What Is Clairsentience? (Clear Feeling)

A person who is clairsentient will "feel" things instinctively. They will get a feeling inside of rightness or wrongness, sometimes a literally physical feeling; such as feeling sick about a situation or around a certain place. Clairsentient people can be highly sensitive to their feelings and can literally be unable to go into a building which feels wrong to them.

What Is Claircognizance? (Clear Knowing)

A claircognizant simply has knowledge of a topic, situation or person, that they shouldn't have. They have no idea how they know; they simply do. The information is not passed onto them via messages, or visions, or touch, but is simply "there" already; as though its always been there, they've simply never thought about it before. Sometimes it feels as though information has been downloaded into their minds, like a computer! They can be uncannily accurate in summing a persons thoughts, feelings or actions, and when asked how they knew this, are unable to answer with anything other than, "I just knew".

What Is Clairaudience? (Clear Hearing)

Clairaudience is the ability to "hear". Sometimes a clairaudient can literally pick up on a thought of another and hear it; and some can hear those that have passed on. Clairaudients often have spirit guides or angels who they communicate with, by hearing; and can pass on messages from other people's angels or guides. Some go onto become mediums because they can clearly communicate with those on the other side.

What Is Clairgustence? (Clear Tasting)

Clairgustence is the ability to taste things in a phantom manner. I clairgustent person is able to taste foods and other things in their mouth when there is nothing actually there. These people can also get a feeling for situations by how their mouth tastes. The term "leaves a bad taste in my mouth" becomes literal for them.

What is Clairscent? (Clear Smelling)

A clairscent person can smell things in a phantom manner; they can smell things such as flowers or perfume that aren't around them. These people can also get a feeling for situations by the way things smell to them. The term "it smells like a rat" becomes literal for them. Clairscentient people can even sometimes smell illness in others.

What Is Clairempathy? (Clear Emotion)

An empath is able to deeply feel the emotions and feelings of others. They can deeply tap into a person's attitude and describe down to the letter how a person feels about something and why. Empath's can sometimes immediately sense feelings of intense emotions such as hate, jealousy, rage, love, or humour. An empath can approach another person with a comment like, "Why are you feeling so afraid?" When they had no way of knowing the person felt that way. An empath can be very good at helping people get in touch with emotions they may have been denying or suppressing.

What is Clairtangency? (Clear Touching)

A clairtangent person is able to get information by touching things. By feeling with their hands, they can know the past or future, or get visions of information regarding the situation.
