The journey of awakening psychic ability often begins with a re-evaluation of what the term “psychic” truly means. Far from its common misinterpretations, awakening psychic ability signifies the emergence of God-given gifts of the Spirit, designed to receive and transmit divine messages for the blessing of others. These profound spiritual capacities are inherent within us, awaiting recognition and development. Many people possess these gifts without fully realizing their potential, perceiving them as a “sixth sense” or extrasensory perception (ESP) since they operate beyond or as a heightened use of our five known senses. As individuals begin to awaken to their authentic selves and divine potential, these spiritual or psychic gifts naturally start to emerge. Dispelling the stigma and fear often associated with the paranormal is crucial, as fear can significantly hinder the utilization of these wonderful tools given to us for our spiritual growth and for assisting others.
Understanding the Spectrum of Spiritual Gifts
Spiritual gifts manifest in various forms, each offering a unique avenue for receiving and interpreting divine information. A spiritually receptive person may cultivate and utilize any number of these gifts, all of which were exemplified by Jesus in His ministry. These gifts enable communication on a dynamic spiritual level, whether in an altered state of high spiritual vibration or through purely intuitive insights in a more “normal” state of being. Having reference points for these gifts can greatly assist in the enlightenment process, transforming what might seem mysterious into understandable facets of our spiritual reality.
The “Clair” Gifts: Clear Perception
The term “clair” means “clear,” and these gifts represent distinct forms of clear spiritual perception.
Clairvoyance: Clear Seeing
Clairvoyance, or clear vision, enables individuals to “see” with their mind’s eye. This gift allows one to receive information about a person or situation by perceiving images, symbols, or visions that relate to events in another’s life. A highly clairvoyant individual may even see angels, spirits, or other spiritual entities with their physical or spiritual eyes. This gift is often associated with the opening and clearing of the third eye (the 6th chakra) and can manifest through dreams or conscious visions, echoing the inner vision granted to prophets of old.
Clairaudience: Clear Hearing
Clairaudience is the psychic gift of clear hearing, where messages are received from etheric realms. Those with this ability may hear spirit messages either audibly, as if spoken aloud, or internally within their minds. Joan of Arc is a historical example of someone who famously utilized this gift.
Clairsentience: Clear Feeling and Psychometry
Clairsentience involves receiving information through clear feeling. This includes psychometry, the ability to touch an object and gain accurate information about its owner, whether living or deceased. This gift often manifests as a strong “gut feeling” or an inexplicable “knowing” about another person or situation, without any prior human knowledge. It is a direct spiritual perception of energies and emotions.
Clairempathy: Clear Emotional Feeling
Clairempathy allows a person to feel, within their own body or emotions, the feelings, pain, or needs of another individual. Empathetic people may unconsciously pick up on ambient energies, especially during times of global crises or local suffering, sometimes becoming a surrogate for those emotions or pains. It is vital for individuals with this gift to learn how to establish spiritual boundaries and clear extraneous energies from their personal field to maintain their well-being.
Clairgustance: Clear Tasting
Clairgustance is the ability to receive messages from the spiritual realm through the sense of taste. A person may taste something distinctly, such as a food or flavor, without having physically consumed or even been near it. It often requires internal guidance to clarify the meaning behind these spiritual tastes.
Clairscent: Clear Smelling
Similar to clairgustance, clairscent allows an individual to perceive fragrances or odors that originate from another realm, not from the physical environment. These can be pleasant scents, such as roses, or other distinct smells that carry spiritual significance, often encountered during prayer or meditation, signifying the nearness of spiritual presences.
Prophetic and Revelatory Gifts
Many of the “clair” gifts can be considered prophetic due to their capacity to foretell future events or transmit messages from divine realms. The Bible categorizes the nine gifts of the Spirit into three main groups: speaking gifts (prophecy, tongues, interpretation of tongues), knowing gifts (words of wisdom, words of knowledge, discerning of spirits), and doing gifts (faith, healing, working of miracles). These gifts remain active and operational today, affirming that divine communication continues to flow to and through us.
The Miraculous Gift of Healing
As individuals progress spiritually, the ability to facilitate healing in others may emerge. The author recounts a powerful personal experience: his wife’s father, critically ill and comatose after an accident, was given a grim prognosis by doctors. Believing in the divine blueprint of perfect health, the author invoked the “Light” of a healing angel, visualizing circles of light and strongly “knowing” that healing had occurred. Despite the doctors’ initial despair, they later reported a “miracle,” witnessing the man’s complete recovery beyond medical explanation. This anecdote underscores the belief that while earthly surgeons perform physical acts, it is ultimately the Highest Doctor of the Universe who transmits the energy for actual healing, reminding us that our bodies possess a miraculous capacity to return to their original, perfect spiritual blueprint.
Telepathic Communication: Mind to Mind
Telepathy involves mind-to-mind or spirit-to-spirit communication without the use of verbal or physical signs, language, or symbols. This phenomenon is observed between humans and animals, and in instinctive bonds, such as a mother’s innate awareness of her child’s danger. Telepathy represents communication on a higher, non-physical plane, where contact between souls is profoundly real. When we engage in prayer, we are effectively contacting our Higher Self, the part of us infused with divine essence, connecting with the boundless energy of God.
Addressing Skepticism and Fear
Human nature often resists or seeks to diminish what it does not comprehend. Yet, throughout history, figures like Noah, Moses, and Jesus demonstrated extraordinary spiritual abilities, from hearing divine voices to parting oceans and performing miracles that defied physical laws. Jesus, operating from an ascended state of Christ consciousness, knew when healing energy left his body, materialized objects, and even walked on water. Condemning modern-day psychics and mystics ignores a long tradition of spiritual power. Any gift or action that brings health, love, healing, soundness of mind, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, and honesty is unequivocally divine, regardless of the label or spiritual affiliation of the person through whom it manifests.
The Power of Mystical Experiences and Inner Connection
Mystical or transcendent experiences, scientifically documented for years, continue to be a profound part of human existence. These spiritually transforming events offer enlightenment and awakening, and how we respond to them is a personal choice. While our physical bodies have limitations, our minds do not. Attitude, faith, and belief fundamentally shape our reality. Nurturing our spiritual energy through prayer, reflection, meditation, and ritual is as vital as nourishing our physical bodies with nutrients. Embracing these mystical experiences allows us to connect with the divine within our “temple,” facilitating communication with God and uncovering our spiritual truth, independent of conventional religious doctrines.
Conclusion: Embracing Your Spiritual Potential
The journey of awakening psychic ability is a powerful invitation to recognize and cultivate the inherent spiritual gifts that reside within each of us. By understanding and embracing clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and other divine capacities, we can dispel fear and step into a more profound connection with our true selves and the universe. These gifts are not relics of the past but active tools for spiritual growth, healing, and communication, empowering us to live a life guided by intuition and divine wisdom. As we shed skepticism and yield to our inner spiritual urging, we unlock liberating sensations and realize our full potential, operating as vessels for profound good and experiencing the ongoing miracle of divine communication in our daily lives.
