Claircognizance – The Gift Of Psychic Knowing
Claircognizance may not be the most glamorous psychic ability, but it is arguably the most underrated and misunderstood of all the psychic senses. On the surface it appears lackluster as a sixth sense, but it is actually a profound and powerful psychic gift. Claircognizance is often also a source of much amusement and even hilarity in my work as psychic medium. And that’s not all… it also happens to be the psychic ability that most frequently gets me into a lot of trouble in my personal life. Why? Well, because I tend to know stuff that I am not supposed to know!
Claircognizance or ‘clear knowing’ is the pathway of extra-sensory perception (ESP) that manifests as spontaneous factual knowledge and information. At times it also produces baffling insights, deep inherent wisdom, and even inspired ideas and solutions to complex problems. This psychic ability causes people like me to know things spontaneously, without any rational explanation for why we know it. We simply know something, the same way you would know which way to turn on the hot water tap in your bathroom…but without ever being shown how to do it.
How to Discern Between Emotions And Intuitions
Many clients say to me during psychic readings, “I just have this feeling”, or “I don’t know, but something isn’t right.” These are great inquiries, because they are the first steps needed to establish a good working connection with your internal guidance system. Rather than questioning or doubting these feelings, maybe it’s time to tune up your internal guidance to get confirmation and validation for some of these feelings.
When you get upset emotionally about something that has happened in your life, in other words an actual event that occurred in the outer world, which you know really happened and is not imagined, is a different type of feeling compared to an intuition. These feelings have a broad range, from anger, sadness and fear, to joy and bliss. And you usually experience them in response to actual events that happen in your outer world.
Being An Empath
An empath is a person who can psychically tune in to the emotional feelings of a person, place or animal. It is the extra-sensory ability to perceive the emotions and feelings of others. Clairempathy is described as a type of telepathy which enables one the to pick up on the attitude, emotion or ailment of another person.
Empaths will freak out sometimes, seemingly for no reason, then find out later that one of their family or friends had something traumatic happen to them. Empaths tend to be very aware of the health and state of mind of their loved ones. This can be difficult for an empathic person, especially if they have not yet realized their own abilities and strengths as an empath.
Empaths are generally very sensitive to others. It can be a challenge for the empath to function normally in life if they are unaware of their gift. It can cause them to be anxious and sometimes paranoid. This can seem strange to people who don’t understand the empathic powers and how they are used.
The Fundamentals Of Psychic Development
I just finished teaching an intensive psychic development course called Discovering Your Intuitive and Mediumistic Abilities. All the material that was discussed, and the questions from my students, are still fresh in my mind. So, I felt it is a good time to write about it today.
Firstly, it has been my experience that there isn’t just one kind of person interested in psychic subject matter. My students over the years have included professionals, trades people, retired seniors, students, and stay-at-home moms. I have had a heart surgeon, a nurse, restaurant servers, hairstylists and even a workman who does dry walling, as students in my classes.
It is my belief that everyone is psychic and can learn to read energy and communicate with spirit in some way. Some of my students will go on to become professional psychics, mediums, intuitives, or energy workers. Others take the class merely for their own spiritual growth or personal development. About 90% of my students are empaths, or care-givers who work with the public in some way.
Better Intuitives
Being intuitive is a personal identity and should not be shared with anyone else, as a personal space cannot be directed or instructed. This again is part of what good schooling and instruction at an early age and adulthood is about.
In all forms of intuition, apart from the instinctive need to survive, reason has to be lauded. I believe that many of us could use some formal teaching such as philosophy, literature or a formal mode of study to complement our intuitive selves to help us manage this type of ability, or any type of work. This is available to most of us, yet many of us are going via forms of hearsay in some form of another, and it would be most valuable to learn the art of logic. Mostly people now seem to gossip or talk, not read, and rarely research, and do not wish to study, and the need to actually express is needed to complement opinions not suppress them. This can be done with research and with reading, or perhaps with research often on the Internet. Continue reading
A ‘Black Belt’ In Psychic Prowess
I am a psychic medium, but I do not like to be categorized as a ‘world-renowned’ this… or a ‘seventh generation’ that… or even as a ‘third degree, black belted, sumo’ something! I do feel that the very concept of labeling psychic work in this way is somewhat superficial, and unnecessarily competitive. We are not in a Kung Fu class competing for a world title.
True psychics are gifted by God, or whatever you personal understanding is of a Higher Power, or the Divine. It is the psychic’s purpose in life to be of service to others and guide them on their path. And although it is spiritual work, we also need to earn a living. In today’s world no one is going to bring us a bushel of corn, or a crate of apples to live on, like they used to do in the old days. We obviously need to be financially compensated for our time, to cover our living expenses.
But sometimes people in this field of work will choose a life of fame and fortune. When going this route they have to be very careful of not letting the ego get into the way. I have seen a few ‘gurus’ go off course this way. They become ‘gods’ in their own minds and they expect to be revered and worshipped by others.
I am not kidding. I personally know someone who listens to the weather forecast, and then claims he is the one controlling the weather. One time the forecast predicted the day before that our area wouldn’t be hit that badly. He then told me not to worry… that he was going to push away that approaching storm with his psychic powers! And after the storm had passed, Mr. Miracle Man called me and said, “See what I did! See how powerful I am?” True story. Continue reading
How I Communicate With Spirit
When I do readings, I use a process whereby I ask Spirit to come forward, with a great deal of protection and guidance, to provide clear, concise and accurate information for the highest good for all concerned.
Spirit always comes through with a great deal of love. They gather to help guide, guard and protect us. They often give us suggestions or recommendations and support us in times of need. However, we all have our own free will, so it is up to us to make the final determination as to whether we will follow their guidance.
There are some things I do not address during a reading. From the very beginning, I have asked my guides not to give me anything to do with health, death or lottery numbers. Therefore, I do not give any medical diagnosis, neither do I foretell someone’s passing, or give out so-called ‘winning numbers.’
Also, if Spirit feels that a particular question is inappropriate, they will not show me anything. Sometimes, they will say specifically that they cannot disclose that particular information.
Spirit uses a combination of direct voice, symbols, and expressions to communicate messages. Symbols are a type of short cut that, over the years, Spirit has developed with me to make certain messages as clear as a bell, without having to go into greater detail. Continue reading
