Clairvoyance (French for clear- vision) is the ability to obtain extrasensory perception through a 6 in the
sense with the ability to ‘know’ things. Many religions and cultures had knowledge of clairvoyance in history, Hindu possess religious text which lists clairvoyants as ‘Siddha’ and Buddhism which believed that clairvoyance is a sign of spiritual awakening and of course such cultures as the ancient Asian civilizations, the Aztec culture or the Australian Aboriginals and Native Americans. I would say that it started to be more acknowledged in more modern times in the 17th century, Marquis de Puységuer was treating a peasant named Victor Race. Throughout his treatment Race showed signs that he was having clairvoyant experiences. He would often go into a trance and undergo personality changes as being able to give accurate diagnosis and prescriptions related to his illness after the trance, Victor was unaware of anything that he had said or done in that time.
The actual development of clairvoyance was created by Dr Franz Mesmer a German doctor who had a keen interest in astronomy. He developed a theory that an invisible national force is possessed by all living things, and this force had the ability to be able to heal and foresee events and situations. It was known as Mesmerism ( animal magnetism) and Dr Mesmer tried hard to prove this scientifically but without successes. The actual term ‘clairvoyance’ came from his followers.
There was also Charles Webster Leadbeater an Anglican priest who developed a keen interest in spiritualism and the occult and believed he possessed clairvoyant and abilities. He wrote a book on it!
Further, back in history and of course we there are Edgar Casey who was a medium, and it is said Nikola Tesla was psychic and predicted future events.
With clairvoyance, it is an umbrella term used for a range of different abilities and ways to obtain this extrasensory information, with this you can communicate with spirits and guides, knowing the feelings of someone or past or future events and even connect with higher beings, aliens, angels, your higher self and the akashic records. Anybody can be clairvoyant it is all built-in each and every one one of us, although some are naturally more aware and susceptible of their gifts. However, many don’t believe or are not aware of their gifts and so it is suppressed.
The four main senses are – clairsentient, clairaudient, clairvoyance and Clair cognizance. There are other subtypes but for now, were going to stick with the 4 well-known ones.
Clair sentient – is the ability to sync with the paranormal, objects, events, places and people.
If you have this ability you may feel cold or have goosebumps, feel a shift in your mood or how your feeling. You may jut simple know something is going on around you, you feel the energy is different in an environment or around someone. They can feel the pain that someone has gone through or is going through physically or emotionally. They can even feel how someone died or how the spirit is feeling.
If your naturally someone who is very sensitive in what you're wearing, not liking certain foods or clothing or even temperature, you love the feeling of nice textures on your body or just a very physical person in your body language, you may be clairsentient. This is also known as an empath.
Clairaudient – the ability to be able to actually hear spirit through their ear or those on the astral plane or cranial hearing which are hose who hear things inside their head. I believe this includes having words and names pop into your head.
If someone is naturally loving music, especially classical music, loves to hear natural sounds like the wind or rain, drawn to meditation or learn better through auditory learning (prefer listening to books on audible than reading) you may be clairaudient.
Clairvoyance- the ability to actually see things from a spirit such as a spirit standing in front of them or flashes images that the spirit or those on the astral plane is trying to rely on. It's like you're thinking where your keys are, and then you have a flash of a shoe this can spirit showing you the location, or maybe you may actually see the spirit show you. You can also have flashes of anything, the same as having ideas being passed to you or inspiration, or maybe you see your self happy from being successful from a job interview.
You may have clairvoyance is you are a very visual person, graphics and colours are important to you, love Pinterest? Or maybe painting and doodling. You may have clairvoyance.
Clair cognizance- seen as the highest level of all the Clair sisters, and this is the ability to just ‘ know’ and be able to interpret instantly. You can see things directly, or know something intuitively is going on or hear something. Or can know through metaphors, I relate this to seeing angel numbers or maybe your friend is talking about their husband and ‘ cheating’ pops into your head, or maybe you're seeing an image of a bird with loads of other birds, and you feel you just know that their husband is cheating. You be pretty good at figuring out the true nature of someone or the day is going to be easy or challenging. You will either get this clear or in a metaphor. If you have this ability you just simply know instantly.
You may have this ability if you very much a people person, or maybe not because you read people so well, you very confident to some extent in yourself and just know what the best advice or course of action is to take, usually you're come across as an old head on young shoulders, love to learn, to read, psychology and history.
A simple guide may be able to help you determine what abilities you may have, however you can possess all 4 , but usually stronger in one or 2 of the clairs.
Test – Think of a little bird
Where are you holding and touching the bird? – Clair sentient
Where you're hearing the birds chirping or the word ‘ bird’ – clairaudient
Did you see an image of a little brown bird but the detail and where the bird may be sitting? – Clairvoyance
If you did a mix of all the above- claircognizance
