💫 Personal Reflections

When I was around 8 years old, my family moved into an old, beautiful home. It had French doors, a wraparound porch, and so much character. I loved it—but the moment I stepped through the threshold, I just knew something was there.

The energy felt heavy. Thick. I had no logical reason to feel that way, but I could sense it clearly. It was telling me something supernatural was in the home. That was my first experience with claircognizance (clear knowing) and clairsentience (clear feeling).

Not long after, I saw the spirit: a tall, solid black, cloaked figure. That was my first true experience with clairvoyance (clear seeing). Needless to say, we didn’t stay in that house very long.

Years later, I found out that the previous residents had actually asked for the home to be exorcised due to unexplained activity.

Well… the exorcism didn’t work. 😅

🌟 The Clairs

There are four primary intuitive senses—commonly referred to as “the Clairs”:

• Clairvoyance (clear seeing) 👁️
• Clairaudience (clear hearing) 🎧
• Clairsentience (clear feeling) 💓
• Claircognizance (clear knowing) 🧠

Each one connects us to our intuitive self and the unseen world in its own way.

“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” – Dean Koontz

👁️ Clairvoyance – Clear Seeing

Clairvoyance is the ability to receive intuitive information through visual imagery. This might show up as mental pictures, symbols, flashes of light, or even full visions seen with your third eye. For some, it feels like imagining something—but the images come uninvited and feel more vivid or symbolic. Rarely, people may also see things with their physical eyes—like spirits, shadows, or energy. If you’ve ever had a dream that came true, seen colors around people, or visualized a person or place before it appeared in your life, you may have already experienced clairvoyance.

🎧 Clairaudience – Clear Hearing

Clairaudience is the ability to hear intuitive guidance. This may sound like your own voice in your head, a word or name that pops in suddenly, or even external sounds when no one is around—like music, footsteps, or whispers. It’s not always loud or dramatic; sometimes it’s a gentle phrase that repeats in your mind until you pay attention. If you’ve ever heard a warning or a comforting word out of nowhere that turned out to be meaningful, that’s clairaudience at work.

💓 Clairsentience – Clear Feeling

Clairsentience means feeling energy and emotion that doesn’t necessarily belong to you. People with this gift often walk into a room and immediately sense the vibe—tense, peaceful, chaotic, heavy. You might feel the emotions of others as if they’re your own, or get chills and body sensations that signal something unseen. Empaths often experience clairsentience without realizing it’s a psychic ability.

🧠 Claircognizance – Clear Knowing

Claircognizance is that strong, sudden knowing that comes without explanation. It’s like information drops into your awareness out of nowhere—facts, answers, or truths that just feel right, even if you have no logical way to know them. You may blurt something out and later find it was exactly what someone needed to hear. If you’ve ever said, “I don’t know how I know—I just do,” you’ve experienced claircognizance. This gift often comes through fast insights, gut instincts, or spontaneous ideas.

🧘‍♀️ Reclaiming Your Intuition

Throughout my life, I’ve had experiences with all four Clairs. One big thing I’ve learned is this: it’s very easy to dismiss them—especially when you’re taught from a young age that they “aren’t real.”

We often have to unlearn that belief system before we can begin to trust our inner senses again.

“We are all born intuitive. It’s the world that teaches us to doubt it.”

Once you begin to notice these subtle nudges—those gut feelings, those little flashes of insight—you can stop, acknowledge them, and begin strengthening that connection. The more you tune in, the more they show up.

I truly believe we’re all born with intuitive gifts. It’s not about being special—it’s about being open. The journey is simply about remembering what’s already within you. If you’ve ever had a moment where something didn’t make sense logically, but you felt it anyway… you’ve already had a Clair moment.

The more you trust it, the more it grows.

✏️Journal prompt: Tuning in

• Write about a time you experienced one of your intuitive senses (the clairs).
  Maybe you knew something before it happened, felt someone’s energy shift, or saw something in your mind’s eye. Describe the moment, how it felt, and how you responded.
• If nothing comes to mind, reflect on this instead:
  How can you become more open and aware of these subtle experiences in daily life?

✨ A Quick Breakdown

• Clairvoyance often means “seeing” through the third eye, though it can sometimes manifest as actual visual sightings—this is less common.

• Clairaudience may sound like a voice in your head, or occasionally like someone speaking aloud near you, even when no one is there.

• Clairsentience is the ability to feel the energy or emotions of people, places, or spirits.

• Claircognizance is the deep, sudden knowing of something without any logical explanation.
