Intuition
By Maggy Davidson
We all have intuition (psychic ability) and most people doubt their
ability. Many times each day, I hear people say, “I wish I could see
auras – but I don’t see auras.” We are such non-believers in our
own abilities. When someone says, “I don’t see auras”, I ask them
to tell me what color my aura is, and to do this without thinking,
just say the first colour that comes to mind – and they will say yellow or pink – of course that will depend upon what’s been happening in my life that day.
When you see someone walking down the street, do you ever get
the idea that the individual is positive and creative, or full of love –
happy, or dark and gloomy – which might make you want to avoid
them? In this moment you are “seeing” their aura.
All of us are psychic – and we all have the ability to “see”. “Seeing”
has several definitions. Clairvoyance (clear vision), clairaudient
(hearing/listening), clairalience (smelling), clairgustance (tasting),
clairsentience, and claircognizence. And each has its challenges.
Clairvoyance: The person sees visions, or flashes of information/pictures as though through their eyes. Sometimes it can be like
a ticker-tape of information passing in your view. This is the most
commonly depicted “sight” in our very visual world – and it is what
the majority of folk perceive as being psychic.
Clairaudient: Some people hear voices or sounds or words.
Sometimes they are awakened from sleep by a sound or voice.
Clairalience: The best descriptor of this ability is when one recognizes a smell and then knows what it refers to. For instance, when
an individual is near death, there can be a smell, and once you’ve
experienced it, you know for the next time.
Clairgustance: have you ever been in the grocery store, walked
by produce, and been able to taste it without it even being near
enough to touch or smell? That’s clairgustance!
Clairsentience: When we know something because we can feel
it on our body – we don’t always know why we know, we just feel
it. For example, you might be perfectly healthy and free of any pain,
when you realize your lower leg is painful, and you look around
and there is a person nearby with a cast on their leg.
Claircognizance: When you know, and you don’t know how
you know. You just know. No explanation can be given. For example, seeing a newly pregnant woman and “knowing” they are having
a girl.
Clairvoyance (clear vision) is the best known psychic ability and
the easiest psychic ability to depict on the big screen and it is therefore most commonly shown in TV and movies. Many people think
clairvoyance is the only way to see. Truly, clairvoyance is very useful when you understand your own language. Many with this gift
have not learned how to translate the information they receive and
remain silent because they don’t even know they are receiving information. I made a comment to a clairvoyant friend one day, saying I wish I had her sight – and her response was that if I could see
how her sight appeared to her, I would rather stay with my own
clairsentience. Her clairvoyance did not present like a movie screen
with clear interpretation, it was a kaleidoscope of colours and she
had to learn to translate the meaning, which put her into her thinking
mind. She then had to learn how to translate it into feeling in order
to trust the information. Those with the other psychic abilities, are
challenged because they “doubt” the information, and think “if only
I could see”.
Clairsentients “feel” on their bodies, and claircognizants just
“know” – and because they have no physical or scientific proof of
their feeling or knowing, they doubt the reality.
The answer to these dilemmas is simple – embrace it all and become
what I jokingly call Clair-All! Clai ȵ
