What Is Clairvoyance? A Guide to the Sixth Sense
The most famous psychic gift, explained simply.
Of all the psychic gifts, clairvoyance is the most talked about. The word comes from the French for ‘clear seeing’, and it describes the ability to receive intuitive information as images, symbols or scenes in the mind’s eye.
How Clairvoyance Works
A clairvoyant reader perceives pictures internally — a colour, an object, a scene — and interprets their meaning. It is less like watching a film and more like a vivid daydream that carries a message.
Clairvoyance and Its Cousins
| Gift | Sense | Means |
|---|---|---|

| Clairaudience | Hearing | Clear hearing (words, sounds) |
| Clairsentience | Feeling | Clear feeling (emotions) |
| Claircognizance | Knowing | Clear knowing (sudden insight) |
Can Anyone Develop It?
Most people have some intuitive ability. Quiet practices such as meditation, visualisation and paying attention to first impressions can strengthen the ‘inner eye’, though gifted readers often describe it as something they were born with and refined over years.

Does clairvoyance mean seeing the future?
Not exactly. Clairvoyance is receiving information as inner images or visions; those impressions may relate to past, present or possible future.
Can clairvoyance be learned?
Many believe the ability can be developed through meditation and practice, though some people are naturally more visual than others.
Is it the same as having visions?
Clairvoyant impressions are usually subtle inner images rather than dramatic visions, though their clarity varies from person to person.
