I noticed that many of my readers and followers are unfamiliar with the term “clairsenses.” So I’d like to use the opportunity to explain what they are and how to use them.
“Clair” is a French word meaning clear. Your combined clairsenses are your “sixth sense,” allowing you to receive information intuitively.
Our high-level spirit guides send us messages similar to radio waves. It’s just a matter of learning how to ground yourself, increase your frequency, and connect with them to tune in and understand what they’re broadcasting.
Like our physical senses, most have one or several predominant clairsenses. The more you practice meditation and spirit communication, the better developed your clairsenses will become. You might discover additional clairsenses over time that you did not believe to have.
All of us have abilities in some or all clairsenses. Your spirit guides will adjust to your abilities to receive and interpret their information. They’ll fine-tune their messages to you and your dominant senses so you can better understand them.
1. Clairvoyance (clear seeing)
Clairvoyance, derived from the French word “voyance” (vision), means seeing visions of images, symbols, clips, or entire movies through your mind’s eye.
Your spirit guides often send you images and symbols and may take you on complete visual journeys.
One fascinating aspect of clairvoyance is its diverse range of expressions. Some of us see symbolic representations that require interpretation, while others experience lucid visions with intricate details.
2. Clairaudience (clear hearing)
Clairaudience is the intuitive ability to receive auditory information. It allows you to hear voices, sounds, and messages that don’t have a source in the physical realm.
Spirit guides may speak to you in subtle whispers, gentle words, distinct voices, genuine slang, or symbolic sounds. They may also sing or play music for you.
You’ve probably experienced an old song suddenly playing in your head. It can be a message from one of your guides, or your brain might bring it up from memory.
Reflect on the essence of everything you hear from your guides.
3. Clairsentience (clear feeling)
Clairsentience means picking up emotions, energies, and vibrations beyond our physical sensory perception.
You’ve probably intuitively sensed the feelings of others around you or grasped the atmospheres of different spaces.
Spirit guides can harness the language of clairsentience to show their presence through physical experiences, such as tingling sensations or changes in temperature in your hands, feet, chakras, or other body parts.
Moreover, they can induce an emotion you’ll feel as part of a message. Meditating on that emotion can tell you more about its significance in your life and what’s underneath it.
4. Clairfragrance (clear smelling)
Clairfragrance, or clairalience, involves the ability to smell scents or odors not present in the physical environment.
You may experience the smell of flowers, distinct fragrances, or other scents associated with physical or spiritual energies.
The odors encountered through clairalience can carry symbolic meanings and convey messages from your guides, adding a dimension of sensory richness to your intuitive experience.
By infusing the environment with specific scents or fragrances, spirit guides create a unique language that may trigger memories, evoke emotions, or serve as distinct markers of their presence.
Consider what a scent means to you and what it reminds you of when you perceive it in your spirit communication.
5. Clairgustance (clear tasting)
Clairgustance involves tasting flavors and sensations without any physical stimulus. These tastes can be subtle or intense, ranging from sweetness to bitterness, and may carry symbolic significance.
Clairgustance adds a unique and flavorful aspect to the spectrum of extrasensory perception.
Reflect on a taste’s attributes and what it means to you if you experience clairgustance when talking to your spirit guides.
6. Claircognizance (clear knowing)
Claircognizance, or clear knowing, is an intuitive ability to “just know something clearly” and perceive it with a strong sense of certainty and conviction.
You may receive insights, ideas, solutions, or a sudden, unshakable understanding of a situation or person.
Of all the clairsenses, claircognizance is arguably the least sexy and hardest to discern. But some intuitives argue that experiencing clear knowing is a sign that you’re “arriving,” that you’re in tune with your surroundings.
Using clairsenses involves developing and honing your intuitive abilities to receive information. Here are some steps and tips to help you tap into and utilize your clairsenses:
- Meditate regularly: Meditation helps calm the mind, making it easier to receive intuitive messages. For this purpose, don’t go for guided video or audio meditations. Simply sit still and focus on one object initially, such as your breath or the warmth between your hands. This practice of stillness and focus enhances your ability to tune into your clairsenses.
- Return to the present moment relentlessly: Being present in the moment enhances your awareness of subtle cues. This has been taught in Advaita Vedanta and other Eastern traditions for ages. Nowadays, it’s called mindfulness.
- Journal your experiences: Write down messages you receive from your guides, as well as intuitive impressions and experiences. This helps track your progress and validate your intuition. Over time, see if your journal entries align with actual events and outcomes.
- Ground yourself: Regularly practice grounding exercises, such as walking barefoot on grass or visualizing roots growing from your feet into the earth, to stay connected to Mother Earth and maintain balance.
- Trust your gut feelings: Pay attention to your instincts and inner feelings as they often guide you.
- Use tools: Tools like crystals, pendulums or tarot cards can aid in developing your intuition and clairsenses.
- Practice daily: Incorporate intuitive practices like spirit communication into your daily routine.
- Exercise patience: Developing your clairsenses is a journey that takes time and consistency. It’s essential to be patient with yourself and trust in the process.
By incorporating these tips, you can refine your clairsenses, allowing for a deeper connection to your intuition and spirit guides.
The journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth is profound and rewarding, empowering you to tap into your true potential.
