Clairvoyance, Clairaudience & All the Clair's!

Meaning & Energy

Discovering new intuitive gifts can be exciting as well as overwhelming.  If overstimulated by any of these gifts, consider integrating grounding practices into your daily routine.  Grounding exercises are soothing and assist in the release of excess energy in your body and aura.  Earthing, working with healing crystals and stones, yoga, EFT tapping and visualization are a few grounding exercises.  Crystals and healing stones can assist in enhancing the following intuitive gifts during development, as well as making the experience smoother and less intense.

Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance is the ability to receive information through visions of the past or future.  Divine information is received through the 7th chakra, or the crown chakra and processed through the 6th chakra, or the third-eye chakra.  Visual messages often come in the form of a glimpse into a moment or situation, and can take a few moments to develop like a Polaroid photograph.  Those with the gift of clairvoyance are often able to view information like a movie in their third-eye chakra.Try Working With: ‣ Selenite — Call in clarity by meditating with a piece of selenite.  Selenite is beneficial for working with receiving information from the divine as well as tuning into the angelic realm.  This crystal clears energetic blockages and enhances other crystals. ‣ Lepidolite — Receive information with ease by keeping a piece of lepidolite with you.  This gentle healing stone assists with the decoding of symbols in your everyday life.

Claircognizance

Clairaudience

Clairaudience enables individuals to hear audible sounds from another realm.  Ringing in one’s ears, music or singing, and hearing a voice as if someone is speaking, are forms of clairaudience.  This information is received telepathically and others are generally not able to hear it unless they are also tuned into the same frequency of being.Try Working With:

Clairgustance

Clairgustance is the ability to taste without having indulged in anything.  Tasting chocolate when providing a past life psychic reading is a sign of clairgustance.  Experiencing the sensation of having smoked a cigar when communicating with an ancestor who indulged in smoking is another example of clairgustance.Try Working With: ‣ Obsidian (Black) — Use black obsidian to sever energetic cords, protect your aura, and cleanse yourself of any lingering foreign energy.  This stone pairs well with smokey quartz. ‣ Smoky Quartz — A grounding crystal that transmutes negative energy and provides stability, this piece assists those barraged with psychic information.
