You’ve probably seen the neon “psychic” sign in the window of a small building and gotten that shiver down your spine. And maybe you’ve heard a few stories about clairvoyants finding lost children or objects, too. While many people tend to discount psychic gifts, clairvoyance is one of the most commonly recognized forms of psychic ability.

Clairvoyance is a psychic skill that allows you to receive intuitive information through colors, images, visions, dreams, symbols, and more. This “inner seeing” is very subtle and happens in the mind’s eye. While the images and symbols may be fuzzy at first, with practice they become clearer. URL

The word clairvoyant was originally used in 1665-1675 France and for almost 200 years it meant “clear-sighted.” It didn’t take on its current meaning of psychic gifts until the 19th century. It can also be viewed as an extrasensory perception (ESP) skill, and it is said that clairvoyants have second sight and great insight.

Psychic abilities often manifest in different ways for each person. While clairvoyance is the most common form of ESP, it can also take on other names such as clairsentience, clairaudience, and more.

Some clairvoyants see vivid, symbolic imagery while others can hear and feel the emotions of those around them. Some clairvoyants can even see the future. Clairvoyant ability can be incredibly useful and can help with things like remote viewing, as well as other psi skills such as claircognizance and clairaudience.
