#clairtangence

[delphinidin4]

I’ve had to come up with a new term.

I was experiencing something the other day where I was able to feel like I was touching things--mostly trees, whom I was greeting--at a distance. Like being able to feel their energy on my hands and my cheeks and feeling like I was reaching across the distance to lay a hand on them when they were really yards away from me.

I thought maybe this was one of the clairs (y’know: clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc). The problem is that there are two clairs that almost-but-not-quite fit. Clairsentience (clear feeling) is more about emotions, intuitions, and gut feelings than tangible feeling, and it turns out that clairtangence is another term for psychometry: touching objects and then being able to say something about the object’s history. Which was not at all what I was experiencing.

So I had to come up with a new term: teletangence or teletangency. It means touching at a distance (like television is seeing at a distance; and telephone is distant sound/voice; and telekinesis is moving at a distance). It could include the phenomena of:

Feeling like you’re touching something/someone that you’re not in actual contact with (reaching across the distance)

The sense of feeling like someone is beside you or in the same room with you, sensing someone’s presence when they are or are not there

The feeling of having someone touch you when there’s no one there

Being able to feel a person’s eyes on you

Feeling a person’s energy field or chakras, like they do in reiki

Feeling energy movement and force, like in tai chi

I think this is probably a pretty common phenomenon (I’ve certainly felt it many times in my life), and I’m really surprised it hasn’t gotten an agreed-upon name yet.

Have you had experiences of teletangency?

🌛 The Five Clairs 🌜

The "clairs" are intuitive senses that correspond to each of the five physical senses, allowing us to receive information beyond ordinary perception.

Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing)

Intuition received visually, often as images, symbols, or colors in the mind’s eye.

Clairtangency (Clear Touch)

Intuitive information received through physical touch, sometimes called psychometry.

Clairgustance (Clear Tasting)

Insight that comes through the sense of taste, often without physically tasting something.

Clairalience (Clear Smelling)

Receiving intuitive impressions via scent, even without a physical source.

Clairaudience (Clear Hearing)

Perception of sounds, words, or messages beyond the physical ear, like hearing a faint voice or music.

Practicing each of these can strengthen your connection to intuitive information.

Here are guided visualizations that engage all five clairs, helping you develop your intuitive senses together:

Visualization Practices for All Five Clairs

The Mystical Garden

Imagine you’re stepping into a lush, mystical garden filled with vibrant plants, unique flowers, and ancient trees.

Clairvoyance: Visualize the colors and shapes of plants around you, noticing any specific symbols or glowing lights that may appear.

Clairtangency: Imagine touching the petals of a flower or the bark of a tree. Sense the texture and feel if it has any emotional energy or history.

Clairgustance: Imagine plucking a berry or leaf and tasting it. Notice its flavor—perhaps sweet, bitter, or herbal. Reflect on any emotions or memories the taste might bring up.

Clairalience: Smell the earthy, floral scents wafting through the garden. Note any emotions, memories, or messages connected to the smells.

Clairaudience: Listen for any sounds in the garden—whispers in the wind, a distant song, or the gentle hum of nature. Allow any messages or phrases to come through.

The Sacred Temple

Visualize walking through an ancient temple filled with artifacts, statues, and sacred symbols.

Clairvoyance: Observe the layout of the temple, colors, and any inscriptions or symbols on the walls.

Clairtangency: Imagine touching the cool stone walls or an old relic, noticing any impressions, emotions, or messages.

Clairgustance: Taste a drop of ceremonial water or a piece of a sacred herb. Sense if the taste connects to a specific energy, emotion, or past memory.

Clairalience: Smell the incense, candles, or earthiness in the temple, and notice any insights that come with it.

Clairaudience: Listen to any sounds, like faint chants, bells, or whispers, letting these bring additional insights.

The Tranquil Beach

Imagine yourself on a quiet beach at dawn, with gentle waves lapping at the shore and soft sands beneath you.

Clairvoyance: See the sunrise colors, shimmering water, and tiny shells or sea creatures around you.

Clairtangency: Feel the sand under your feet or dip your hand into the water, noting any emotional or historical energy.

Clairgustance: Taste the saltiness in the air or imagine tasting the fresh water from a nearby spring. Observe any memories or impressions tied to these tastes.

Clairalience: Smell the salty breeze and hints of seaweed, noticing any feelings or messages tied to the scent.

Clairaudience: Listen to the waves, distant seabirds, or perhaps even a voice in the wind, welcoming any guidance or insight.

The Enchanted Forest

Imagine entering a peaceful, enchanted forest where everything is alive with energy.

Clairvoyance: See the vibrant green trees, glowing mushrooms, or even fairylike lights. Notice any symbols or animals that stand out.

Clairtangency: Touch the bark of a tree or pick up a leaf, sensing any stories or energies.

Clairgustance: Imagine tasting fresh berries or the morning dew on a leaf. Let the flavors spark any emotions, memories, or impressions.

Clairalience: Smell the forest's earthy aroma, noticing any memories or messages it may bring.

Clairaudience: Listen for birdsong, rustling leaves, or even a message whispered by the wind or the trees.

The Celestial Library

Visualize yourself entering a grand, celestial library with glowing books, scrolls, and ethereal light.

Clairvoyance: Notice the colors of the glowing books, floating candles, and shimmering walls.

Clairtangency: Imagine holding a book or scroll—feel its weight and notice any impressions or intuitive knowledge coming through it.

Clairgustance: Picture yourself tasting a drop of “wisdom” elixir or a piece of symbolic fruit. Reflect on any memories, emotions, or insights the taste stirs.

Clairalience: Smell the scent of old pages, leather, or candle wax, observing any emotions or insights tied to the scent.

Clairaudience: Listen for the gentle turning of pages, soft voices, or the faint whisper of wisdom from the library.

Using these visualizations regularly can help you deepen your connection to each clair, opening up intuitive insights in a balanced and comprehensive way. Enjoy exploring these mystical settings!

If I ever comment on artwork of Copia or another Papa "I can smell this photo" please take it as a huge compliment. I have really intense texture/smell sense memory (maybe a kink idk)

Like I know there's "clairvoyance" but there's other clairs as well. Mine dwell in smell and touch (clairsalience, clairtangency). Clairs aren't necessarily about predicting events, they're more about how well one can conjure up a sense and feel it very strongly in that moment. Induced either by imagination or reaction to an object/image.

Anyway yes all the Copias lately have smelled amazing and you're doing a great job

[hauntingsofafuturespast]

Great breakdown of the clairs and how to process/work with them.

Clair-senses & Exercises

Clairvoyance: The ability to see the not so ordinary. Your intuition speaks directly to you in the form of sight. Images form in your mind or interpret information through pictures.

Clairaudience: The ability to hear or interpret information from spirits. Clairaudience is a way of receiving intuitive messages without using your physical ears but rather hearing messages within your mind.

Clairsentiency: The ability to sense the presence or absence of spiritual beings and feel energies.

Clairempathy / Psychic Empathy: The ability to feel another’s feelings as their own. This is different from regular empathy, which is the ability to identify with another’s feelings.

Claircognizance: The ability to just know things out of nowhere. It can tie into Precognition.

Precognition: The ability to know something is going to happen before it does, premonitions.

Clairtangency: The ability to assess metaphysical properties through touch.

Clairalience: The ability to perceive metaphysical smells.

Clairgustance: The ability to perceive the metaphysical through taste.

Artistic and Divine Inspiration: The Poets have given many names to the unprompted artistic impulses found in creatives. The Norse concept for this is oðr. The Welsh and Celtic concept for this is Awen. This is the act of receiving metaphysical or divine information through artistic impulses.

August Week 4: Sixth Senses

Not everything olds stock in Clair-senses or sixth senses. But we’re going to look into them. If you don’t wish to follow these prompts, look back at previous prompts you may not have gotten enough time for. We will focus on the Clair- versions of the five normal senses and look into the other senses related to them. Let’s dive in.

Let’s look at the etymology of the “Clair” prefix for the words. It is a French word meaning “clear” or “to see clearly/ understand”. So with that context, the Clair-senses would simply mean “clear, unfiltered, pure versions of the senses. Unobstructed and unbiased”.

Monday- Clairvoyance

Research/ introspection - if Clair means clear, Clairvoyance means to see clearly. What other definitions of clairvoyance are there? What does the word mean to you? How does this sense apply to your practice and craft, if at all? What methods are there to gain clairvoyance, if any? What tools would one need to obtain clairvoyance, however briefly?

Research/ new page - herbal research - pick another herb off your list (I’ll bet it seems like it’s getting much smaller now!) and learn everything you possibly can about the herb. From magical uses to mundane! From history to propagation!

Tuesday - Clairaudience

Research/ introspection - Clairaudience would be clear hearing. What other definitions are there? What uses in your craft does Clairaudience have? What tools and situations would it be useful in? How does one achieve or obtain Clairaudience?

Wedneaday - Clairtangency

Research/ introspection - clairtangency would be clear touching. What other definitions for this sense are there? How does one achieve it? What use is it in your craft? What does it mean to you? Practice it! Truly touch and feel some of your magical items and ingredients and journal the experience and what this sense tells you.

Research/ new page - gem research - pick another gem from your list and learn all that you can about it! How it is formed, its chemical makeup, where it is from!

For the next two, it is important to note not to taste or smell things at random, especially if you have several allergies. Never put anything in your mouth without knowing what it is and the effect it will have!

Thursday - Clairsalience

Research/ introspection - this would be clear smelling. As a sense itself smell is indicative of things being good or bad (generally) so with that basic understanding of the base sense, how would this sense influence or be used in your craft and practice? What other definitions are there for this sense?

Friday - Clairgustance

Research/ introspection - this would be clear taste. What can taste tell you? When do you experience this sense? How can you experience this sense? How can this be used if at all, in your craft?

Now that the five basics are out of the way… are there other Clair-senses not listed here? What are they? How do they apply to your craft if at all? How do they connect to you? How do you achieve or utilize them? Ask yourself all the possible questions about them and make a list of them!

-Mod Hazel

(P.S. thank you all for being patient with me the last few months. It has been a challenge for me to get ahead in the posts for this challenge as I am working a lot of overtime and my daughter is struggling with some mental health issues. I’m still here and still working on the challenge! It’s just been slow going! Again, thank you all for the support and for participating!)

Visualization for the Clairvoyantly Impaired

by autumn sierra

Assuredly, I am not the only individual that struggles with visualization in the witch community. Like some others’ experiences, I was very confused when I was told to “visualize a scene in which your spell is successful”. How does one visualize? Is there a tutorial? What is it supposed to look like? Why do I only see darkness?

After doing a bit of research, I’ve found that clairvoyant/visualization ability is actually the norm. Despite being an artist, writer, and avid reader, I just can’t do it. At least not on command. This isn’t to say I for 100% certainty have the condition known as aphantasia, but it’s very eye opening to now understand why I struggle with visualization meditation in my practice. I simply don’t have the ability.

I began to reflect on what I could do to visualize and subsequently maintain success within my spell work. It occurred to me that clairvoyance isn’t the only psychic sense we can rely on. There are many others at our disposal, it’s just that clairvoyance seems to be the most mainstream.

Clairgustance

Someone “eating with gusto” has always been a compliment to chefs. Clairgustance is the ability to taste or orally detect psychic information. It’s not the most common or widely known, but this clair does have its interesting points.

Clairsalience

Clairsalience is the ability to detect psychic information through the sense of smell. Often called “phantom smells”, detecting aromas through clairsalience arguably happens amongst even the general population quite frequently.

Clairaudience

Audiences are there to listen, just as we are the audiences to psychic messages. Clairaudience is the detection of information through sound. This means hearing voices, noises, songs, etc.

Claircognizance

Claircognizance is the ability to innately know, or have very deep insight. With this clair, intuition is at another level of intensity to the point where one could learn something without ever hearing it from another source. It may not have immediate proof, but it will eventually.

Clairsentience

Clairsentience is feeling psychic information throughout the body in various ways. These can be broken down to external effects similar to environmental change (feeling cold, hot, etc) or an internal change (tightening of the chest, migraine, etc).

Clairempathy

Being an empath is its own superpower, but clairempathy allows one to detect emotions over distance without meeting with someone in person.

Clairtangency

Clairtangency is the clair of the hands, touching and feeling objects and people while understanding their history and energy. This is similar to psychometry, but much more of an instinct than a trained skill.

My Experience

After some more reflection and experimentation, I noticed that I have experienced multiple of these clair senses: clairaudience, claircognizance, and clairsentience.

I had an instance during a (very meager) Samhain ritual a few years ago when I attempted to communicate with deceased loved ones and I experienced my strongest interaction through clairsentience. I did in fact make contact with my dog who had passed away a year prior. It was at this time that I asked her to give me a sign that she was in the room with me, and I felt goosebumps on my skin, as if she were sitting beside me and leaning against me like she always used to. I could feel the slight prickle of her short fur. The feeling grazed against my arm before it vanished, but I knew she was there. I also experience migraines and other symptoms when energies are imbalanced, so perhaps I should look further into communing with this clair sense.

Claircognizance is also something I am familiar with. My strongest experiences with claircognizance have been in instances of drastic change (think the Tower level of change). The first of these was during quarantine in the summer of 2020. The entire time I sat in my home, studying language and doing yoga, watching tv and doing whatever to keep myself entertained, there was a looming feeling of impending change that hovered over me at all times. I prophesied that my family’s lives would be forever altered in the next year, but I wasn’t sure if it would be positive or negative. Within the year, our entire dynamic fell apart, ending in homelessness, divorce, and a terrible struggle to pick up the pieces. Since then, all of my “prophesies” have been accurate in the foretelling of drastic change as it pertains to myself, my environment, and individuals around me, both positively and negatively.

Finally, clairaudience. This was the first clair sense that I had acknowledged as such, and have been able to use throughout my life. As a child, I would listen to music without external stimuli. I’ve experienced rumblings and tinkling of bells, ringing and static, voices, and most recently (with exercise) constructing my own auditory “visualizations”. As a sleep aid, I “visualize” the voice of a woman echoing inside of a room. If I could see the room it would probably be white and very large, like in Bruce Almighty when Jim Carrey meets Morgan Freeman on the 7th at 7:00. The woman sounds around 40 years old, with a Heightened RP British accent. I feel as if I would be sitting in this room as her voice approaches me, and her heels click on the polished floor and echo throughout the space. Yet all I see is black as I hear her say “So, what will we be reviewing today?” And in my thoughts I somehow silently reply with the things that made me feel negatively throughout the day. Although she hears no response, she says “I see. And how do you think that this has affected you?” And I silently reply again, to which she will say something along the lines of “Well, not everything is in your power to control”, or “Give yourself a bit more grace here”, etc. It seems I have created my own therapist, which I never thought would be remotely possible.

Although I lack clairvoyance, these 3 clair senses have been with me all the while. Since I’m most comfortable with clairaudience, perhaps further exercising those psychic muscles will help me “visualize” during spell work and not just at bedtime. This may apply to other practitioners struggling with visualization as well. Consider these senses and experiment with them to see if you also have dormant skills lying in wait for use. Research further into these phenomena and apply them to your life and your practice. You never know what you might unlock within yourself once you try.

[moonsoulastrology]

The 4 primary psychic senses.

●Clairsentient - meaning clear feeling.

●Clairaudient- meaning clear hearing.

●Claircognizant- meaning clear knowing.

●Clairvoyant- meaning clear seeing.

4 more senses that are developed off the primary senses are;

●Clairgustance- meaning clear taste, developed from claircognizance.

●Clairalience- meaning clear smell, developed from clairsentient.

●Clairtangency- meaning clear touch, AKA Psychometry, developed from clairsentience and claircognizance.

●Clairempathy- clear empathy, this is a stronger version of clairsentient but is developed from clairsentient, claircognizance, and clairvoyance. We all have a certain degree of empathy, but to be a true empath it takes developing those 3 primary senses fully.

Once you've developed and exercised one gift the rest will be able to be accessed. Some senses may not be as strong as another, but it doesn't mean you don't possess it. Some people possess these gifts stronger than others, but we are all born with these senses! Due to society conditioning, and the way we are raised most don't develop them the way we are supposed to. That doesn't mean you can't develop them now though! Just because your psychic gifts aren't as strong as the next person doesn't mean you aren't better at something else. Some people aren't meant to access those gifts at 100% and that's okay. So don't get down on yourself if you happen to be having a difficult time developing them. You may be the person that comes into play to help another on their spiritual and healing journey in another way. They can also take time to develop and its not something that's gonna happen in a week's time. Your gonna need to set aside time alone and have determination and stamina, these gifts can take a lot of energy out of you in the beginning. You must have patience, and believe in yourself most importantly!

Before you start you need to ask yourself are you truly prepared to move forward with gifts like these? Are you truly ready to work with the dead? It's not just your spirit guides that will be in contact with you if you develop this gift fully. You will be opening yourself up to negative energy and you must be prepared to deal with that. So before you push yourself to open up, ask yourself honestly if that's something you want to live with for the rest of your life? Also is your family ready for that too? If it's not, that's okay. You can still stretch certain senses to a point where you can pick up on certain energies of others without "piercing the veil" so to speak.

Follow along for more information on how to develop them, turn them up/down, as well as aspects and placements in the natal chart pointing towards being born with a strong gift of the senses!

[coinandcandle]

How do the gods interact with you? How do you know they approve/disapprove of a particular offering or action? How does that mutual connection that a lot of people talk about manifest?

Hey anon!

This is a loaded question cuz it's gonna be different for each person. From my experience, the answers to this run purely on intuition and divination.

The gods can interact with us in many different ways. Sometimes they reach out to you through signs (like animals, numbers, recurring imagery, etc), other times they interact with you through your dreams; and sometimes they interact with you via clairsenses (Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairtangency, Clairsentience, Clairalience, Claircognizance, & Clairgustance).

The best way to find out is to ask, "What does a 'no' look/feel/sound like from you? What about a 'yes'?" and go from there. If you're still not sure, use divination. You could do something as easy as a coin flip "Tails means yes, heads means no." for example.

The mutual connection may never truly happen, not everyone can just automatically know what a deity would or wouldn't want/like/think/feel. But you can form a connection with them on your own terms.

It's very similar to human connections, you know your best friend well enough to answer if they like a certain food or not and you may even be able to guess how they feel about some strong political topic, but you'd have no idea how they feel about a food they've never tried or a song they've never heard so you gotta ask.

Same goes for the gods. You can just ask them if they like or don't like something. You can try out new offerings and ask if they loved it, liked it, hated it, or felt neutral about it.

In my experience, if the Morrigan or Lugh really didn't like something I was doing or offering they let me know by giving me a sudden feeling that seemed like it wasn't my own or like it came out of nowhere.

But some people "hear" their gods, some "see" them, and many "feel" them like me! It's a learning curve but don't get too tied up in the Do's and Don't's, you'll just burn yourself out before you even started. Get to know the deities the way you'd get to know anyone (or anything) start by talking, introduce yourself and tell them about yourself; maybe even throw in why you want to connect with them or why you feel drawn to them.

Keep in mind this is my advice based on my own experiences and opinions, I'd love to know how others would answer this question! <:

[psychelis-new]

When did you realize you had a spiritual gift? Does it run in the family? My mom has premonitory dreams, can “see” energy and do that thing where she touches objects/people and can “see” things, and I’ve always wondered if I could do it too, or if it just “skipped” me lol

Hey!

Uhm let me think... When it comes to clairs, especially clairaudience and claircognizance (which are my main ones, together with clairvoyance) I think I kind of always had them since I was little. I never really used them knowing what I was doing but I often knew stuff I wasn't supposed to know of and heard voices in my mind guiding me and keeping me company. I never really knew what it was about though, I kind of found out around 3 years ago, more or less, when I also started digging more into spirituality and tarots (also here on tumblr, btw). It happened by chance but prolly it was just fated to happen at that moment for a specific reason. Maybe it simply was my time to "become aware". I also always had dreams of different type and again I got more aware about my dreams recently, also of the premonitory ones, as I started healing and learning more about the unconscious mind and spirituality (which to me kinda happened simultaneously... well actually I got into spirituality a tad earlier than healing and I am thankful it went this way as it helped me loads). It's like I opened a new channel of communication (it was already open but not knowing how to read the infos I used to get in my dreams or forgetting them, it was kinda "useless").

I am not sure how much of this runs in my closest family, and if it does, no one talks about it: I live in a country where spirituality is often seen as scam so it's not easy to be that open about it nor to really take into consideration the fact that someone may actually have a gift in that sense. If someone guesses something right, for example, it's all a coincidence or luck. Only a few people can make it and not be looked at/labeled as crazy or worse.

I honestly think every person on Earth has some kind of gift, but it's up to them to find theirs (maybe when on a healing path, maybe not everyone can realize theirs out of blockages) and cultivate them or study/practice to make them better. So yeah I do think you too have some type of gift, and you'll find it (/them) out at the right time. Maybe when you'll be really ready to welcome them, maybe suddenly and through something unrelated (maybe not so unrelated, if I think about it now) as it happened with me. I don't think there's someone that is born without being able to do anything... it also depends on the environment you're in and how open you and your family are to that chance, to see it, to find it and welcome it (and on this, it seems you're already in a very good position so just keep staying open and maybe meditate if you can... your Guides may show you your abilities or guide you on the road to find them out). I think we're all here for a reason, generally to help each other (call me a dreamer ;) ), so yeah, I do think you too have some kind of gift. :D (btw I really envy your mother's clairtangency, I'd love to try that but sadly it seems I don't work through touch but mostly through my 3rd eye... I guess we all can see things differently and in different ways which adds to our uniqueness :) )

Take care!

🔮 The 9 'Clairs' 🔮

The 9 'clairs' are different types of intuitive ability - like a sixth sense.

Some refer to these as psychic abilities, others as intuition presenting itself using different senses.

Clairvoyance (clear seeing)

People with this intuitive ability often visualise images and pictures, possibly during sleep with vivid dreams, meditation or daydreaming with mental images or mini-movies.

Clairaudience (clear hearing)

People with this intuitive ability may hear voices or messages, songs, sounds, audio signals more than just inner dialogue.

Claircognizance (clear knowing)

Claircognizance is a sudden knowing of something to be true, like an instant insight or mental download.

Clairintellect (clear intellect)

Clairintellect is thoughts that can manifest as your intuition - epiphanies.

Clairempathy (clear emotion)

Clairempathy is sensing other people's emotions, thoughts or symptoms - and awareness of emotional energy.

Clairsentience (clear physical feeling)

Clairsentience is similar to Clairempathy, but more physical. It's actually feeling in your body that others are experiencing, like the pain or sensations of others.

Clairtangecy (clear touching)

Clairtangency is brought about by touch. Touching certain objects or people might conjure images, perceptions and insights about them.

Clairalience (clear smelling)

Clairalience is insight through the perception of smell, although not necessarily the actual smell of something.

Clairgustance (clear tasting)

Clairgustance is a strange one - sensing things through taste without having that physical source in your mouth.

✨ The Clairs ✨

Main Types of Clairs

Clairvoyance

(Clear Seeing)

The ability to perceive visual information beyond the physical senses. This can include seeing images, colors, symbols, or even visions of future events.

Visualization Exercises

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and visualize objects, scenes, or colors in your mind’s eye. Practice daily with simple images and gradually move to more complex visuals to strengthen your “inner sight.” Meditation on the third eye (between the eyebrows) can also help.

Clairaudience

(Clear Hearing)

The ability to hear sounds or voices that aren’t audible to others, often experienced as inner guidance, hearing someone’s thoughts, or messages from spirits or guides.

Sound Awareness Meditation

Focus on ambient sounds around you, then shift to imagining sounds or inner voices in your mind. Practice discerning subtle sounds in your environment and try listening to soft, repetitive sounds like a ticking clock, letting them guide you inward to hear more subtle messages.

Clairsentience

(Clear Feeling)

A heightened sense of feeling, where someone can intuitively sense emotions, physical sensations, or energies of others or places. This includes physical sensations that convey information.

Body Scanning and Emotion Sensing

Practice a body scan by closing your eyes and paying attention to sensations in each body part. Then, imagine yourself in various environments and “tune in��� to sense the emotions associated with each. Journaling afterward can help you interpret the emotions and sensations you pick up.

Claircognizance

(Clear Knowing)

A strong inner knowledge or “gut feeling” without any logical explanation. People with this gift receive sudden insights or knowledge about a person, place, or event.

Intuitive Journaling

Start with a question and free-write the answers that come to mind without filtering them. Over time, this practice can reveal patterns and strengthen your intuitive knowing. Meditation can also help you recognize the feeling of knowing distinct from thought.

Clairalience

(Clear Smelling)

The ability to smell scents that don’t have a physical source nearby, like smelling someone’s perfume after they've passed on or a certain aroma associated with a place or memory.

Scent Memory Practice

Smell different essential oils or spices, then close your eyes and try to recall the scent without it being present. Gradually, this can enhance your ability to “smell” or recall scents intuitively, which may help with connecting to people or memories associated with those smells.

Clairgustance

(Clear Tasting)

The ability to taste something without it being present, often linked to memories or associations that provide information about someone or something.

Taste Meditation

Focus on tasting different foods mindfully, paying attention to each layer of flavor. Then, try to “imagine” the taste of different foods without eating them, as this practice can enhance your ability to pick up tastes associated with people or memories.

Clairtangency

(Clear Touching or Psychometry)

The ability to receive information by touching an object, which can hold energy or memories of people or events connected to it.

Object Reading Practice

Hold an object that belongs to someone and tune into any feelings, images, or thoughts that arise. Let your impressions flow without judgment. Practicing with a variety of objects can help refine your ability to pick up on energies connected to them.

Other Types of Clairs

Clairempathy

(Clear Emotion)

Similar to clairsentience but focused on emotions. People with this ability feel the emotions of others deeply, often as if they were their own, and may intuitively understand others’ emotional states without verbal communication.

Emotion Meditation and Energy Shielding

Practice by focusing on your own emotions and then imagine how others may feel in certain situations. To avoid emotional overwhelm, also practice grounding and shielding by visualizing yourself surrounded by protective light.

Clairkinesthesia

(Clear Movement Awareness)

The ability to feel or sense physical movement that hasn’t occurred yet or even movement on an energetic level, such as shifts in someone’s energy field.

Body Awareness Exercises

Practice sensing subtle movements, such as the feeling of a breeze or the shift of your own muscles. You can also try gentle tai chi or qi gong movements to help you become more sensitive to the flow of energy and movement.

Clairinspiration/Claircreativity

(Clear Inspiration/Creativity)

The sense of receiving creative ideas, such as art, music, writing, or inventions, seemingly from beyond one's own conscious mind. Many artists, writers, and musicians describe a feeling of “receiving” their work from an outside source.

Open-Ended Creative Meditation

Sit quietly with an open mind, asking for inspiration or guidance on a question. Remain in a relaxed, open state, and note any ideas that “pop up.” Regular meditation or creative flow exercises, such as drawing without a plan, can encourage inspiration.

Clairpresence

(Clear Presence Awareness)

The ability to sense the presence of a spirit, entity, or energy without necessarily seeing or hearing it. People often describe this as the feeling of “not being alone” or of a particular being nearby.

Awareness Meditation for Presence Sensing

Practice meditating in silence, attuning to the feeling of your environment. Occasionally pause to sense if there is a “shift” in the atmosphere, such as a feeling of warmth or cold. This helps you discern subtle presences.

Claircosmology

(Clear Universal Knowledge)

This refers to a sense of connection with universal or cosmic knowledge, as if receiving insights about humanity, existence, or spiritual truths. It’s often described as a sudden deep understanding of complex, spiritual, or existential concepts.

Contemplative Meditation

Spend time in contemplation of big questions about life, the universe, or spiritual concepts. Keep an open mind and let insights come naturally. Journaling after meditation can help you capture sudden insights or “downloads” related to universal knowledge.

Psychics

Hello! Today we’re going to be talking about psychics and psychic abilities. Please note this is just a quick overview and there are plenty of books that go more in-depth.

What is a Psychic?

The word "psychic" is derived from the Greek word psychikos ("of the mind" or "mental"), and refers in part to the human mind or psyche (ex. "psychic turmoil"). The Greek word also means "soul". In Greek mythology, the maiden Psyche was the deification of the human soul. The word derivation of the Latin psȳchē is from the Greek psȳchḗ, literally "breath", derivative of psȳ́chein, to breathe or to blow (hence, to live).

A psychic is a person who claims to use extrasensory perception (ESP) to identify information hidden from the normal senses, particularly involving telepathy or clairvoyance, or who performs acts that are apparently inexplicable by natural laws, such as psychokinesis or teleportation. Although many people believe in psychic abilities, the scientific consensus is that there is no proof of the existence of such powers, and describes the practice as pseudoscience. The word "psychic" is also used as an adjective to describe such abilities. Psychics have a natural ability—which can be trained and developed—to "read" the energy surrounding an individual, object, or space, living or inanimate. Just as there are those born with an incredible talent for sports or mathematics, there are others born with an incredible talent to tap into the unseen.

How long have Psychics been around?

French astronomer and spiritualist Camille Flammarion is credited as having first used the word psychic, while it was later introduced to the English language by Edward William Cox in the 1870s.

Elaborate systems of divination and fortune-telling date back to ancient times. Perhaps the most widely known system of early civilization fortune-telling was astrology, where practitioners believed the relative positions of celestial bodies could lend insight into people's lives and even predict their future circumstances. Some fortune-tellers were said to be able to make predictions without the use of these elaborate systems (or in conjunction with them), through some sort of direct apprehension or vision of the future. These people were known as seers or prophets, and in later times as clairvoyants (French word meaning "clear sight" or "clear seeing") and psychics.

Spirit communication became widely banned and stigmatized during the spread of Christianity in the 13th century; religious leaders claimed that psychics were in commune with the devil. Indigenous beliefs and practices were cast out by colonists in the 16th century, and many cultures were forced to follow institutionalized religion. However, certain figures also rose to worldwide popularity—one being Nostradamus who famously made some seriously sizable predictions.

Spiritualism grew in the mid-19th century. Throughout this era, followers held public demonstrations where psychics connected with the spirit world, delivering messages to the audience, messages that confirmed their loved one's presence in the afterlife and held valuable information to help the querent. These days, psychics are allowed to practice openly, and it is not uncommon that your friends, family member, or colleague consults with a psychic regularly. Famous psychics in popular culture include John Henry, Theresa Caputo, Sylvia Brown, and James Van Praagh. They appear on talk shows, write best-selling books, make appearances, and perform public readings to packed auditoriums.

Psychic Abilities

Psychic abilities are better described more so as senses. There are 7 known psychic senses: Clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairsentience (clear feeling), clairaudience (clear hearing), claircognizance (clear knowing), clairscent (clear smelling), clairgustance (clear tasting), and clairtangency (clear touching). Many psychics may have more than just one psychic sense and some may have several.

Oooh yay!!!! Time to talk about me and my abilities!!!!

I have done most of these at one point, but my strongest are Clairaudience, Claircognizance, and Clairvoyance in that order. Usually I use a combination of these three to tap into spirits, ancestors, my higher self and the higher self of others for guidance when I am practicing divination for a message or guidance whether that be for myself or someone else. Now sometimes clairaudience with a spirit will come through anyway if I am in a strongly charged building.

When I tap in I can use Clairsentience VERY well (in reality it probably is my strongest gift) but I selectively chose to put up walls long ago and avoid it because the physical sensations of others can get mixed in as my own and idk what I am actually feeling so that's confusing. I've felt heart attacks, leg pains, the sadness of every single individual in a room at a funeral, death, pregnancy, respiratory illness... you name it... and man if I didn't build that wall I would have went insane... sometimes it's too strong to keep out. The only remaining factor I kept out of this one that I allow is I can "feel" when someone is thinking about me and I can distinguish who it is if I talk to them a lot. I will be like "this specific person is thinking about me" and sure enough like 2 minutes later, they contact me. I also dream of people if they are thinking about me or sometimes wake up if they are thinking a lot about me when I am asleep... they have to be really energetically pulling with missing me, though and wanting to talk to me. Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night to a message from someone who is missing me right after they message (even though I get no notifications because my phone is on do not disturb) and I'll be like "You thought me awake." Oh and furthermore another aspect I kept of it, is something I've been able to do since I was very little, I can feel if a place or an object is haunted by a negative entity (or any entity for that matter).

Clairgustance I occasionally get before eating something like once I was tasting a burger and had no godly clue how a burger would "happen to me" because I was broke, by the end or the day I ended up at a restaurant with a burger 😅

I have Clairalience with pregnant women, I can smell baby on them lol Also, I know what people smell like before I've met them in person if I talk to them often enough.

I think the only one I haven't experienced is Clairtangency... I don't remember any instances of that.

In other words, I am a very powerful psychic. Don't fuck with me. If you're lying to me I know. If you're lying to yourself, I also know 😅
