Your Psychic Senses - “The Clairs”

Your Psychic Senses - “The Clairs”



10 Psychic Senses, often called “The Clairs.”

There are some that are very well known, the first five I’ll talk about, there are four more that are sometimes mentioned, and one bonus clair that I will also go over. Figuring out which clairs are strongest within you can help you to unlock clearer guidance. You can develop all of your clairs, but it is always a great place to start to work with your natural strengths. 

 

Which Clair Do I Connect With?

It can be powerful to determine which of the clairs you connect with the most, because you may feel that because one isn’t your strength you don’t feel very intuitive. For instance, you may think that you aren't psychic because you don’t see things in your mind’s eye or hear specific messages.

The truth is, everyone is psychic, though your gifts might look different from those you hear about in movies and books.

You may even be at a point where you are so disconnected from your psychic abilities that you believe that they aren’t there at all, which is never true. Take the time to review the list of clairs shared here, and see what you feel most drawn to.

 

Grow Your Psychic Intuitive Senses

When you recognize your strength, it can help you to really grow your psychic and intuitive senses. The Universe and your Spiritual Team is consistently trying to make contact with you and give you guidance. When you take the time to strengthen your clairs, you strengthen your connection to this guidance. 

 

The Ten Clairs Defined: Your Spirit Guides

Let’s go over the 10 clairs, then we can talk over how you can strengthen your psychic senses and connect more with your spirit guides. 

 

Do you feel connected with any of these psychic abilities that correspond with these five senses?

 

These first five clairs are the most commonly talked about.

If, after reading the list above, you still feel unsure as to which abilities you feel are strongest with you, you can try a simple exercise.

Take a moment to find a quiet space in your home, and get into a comfortable position.

Close your eyes and try to clear your mind. After a few minutes of silence, begin to notice where your mind is naturally drawn to.

Are beginning to find your mind shifting to the sounds in the room, the smells, or are visuals beginning to flutter through your mind? 

 

Depending on the answer to where your mind is shifting, you can have a hint as to what sense is one of your strongest.

It is very common to have even 2 or more that are strong within you.

 

How To Develop Your Clairs

One thing that can be helpful is ensuring you are ready and excited to open up to your abilities. It can sound a little scary at first, so make sure it is truly what you want, and know there is nothing to be afraid of. You are simply opening yourself up to more clarity, magic, and joy.

Let the Universe and your Spiritual Team know that you are indeed ready to take this journey.

Get Spiritually Open

Another thing that can help open up your gifts is being around others who are very spiritually open. You can possibly find a mentor, or simply someone who you can befriend and be in their energy of someone already open. When you surround yourself more and more with these types of people, spiritual shifts are inevitable. The same can be said about the opposite; if you surround yourself with people who are pretty shut down psychically, it can be more challenging to open up within that energy. 

 

Connecting with your guides is another great way to practice your psychic abilities.

 

Your Spiritual Team

A good time to try this is right before bed when you are calm and closest to your subconscious mind. Allow yourself to lie in bed, relax, and declare that you are open to messages. See what comes up without judgment. Remember that messages come in so many different forms. At first, you may feel like you are the one thinking or saying these messages. Have faith that, over time, you will better be able to distinguish what your own personal thoughts are and what messages from your Spiritual Team are. 

 

Intuition Tests

You can also have fun with some Intuition Tests. I have several videos on my TikTok that will test your abilities. You can also search for other videos, as there are tons there. You could alternatively make your own test, playing with playing cards, oracle cards, dice, etc. You can also do this with a friend, trying to guess what is on their mind. You could even give them a reading and see how much it resonates with them. Keep all of this light and easy; you likely won’t get it all right, but it is all moving you in the right direction and strengthening your abilities. 

 

How To Connect With Your Spirit Guides

Above, we touched on the fact that everyone has a spiritual team. Let’s talk more about how to connect with your spirit guides. 

 

Everyone has guides, yes even YOU!

They are with you from the moment you choose to come to this earth until you choose to leave. When you know you want to connect deeper with your guides, one great place to begin is to set an intention to better connect with them. This can be as simple as saying, writing or even thinking in your mind’s voice, “I am creating the intention to better connect with my Spirit Guides and receive my spiritual messages.”

 

Connect To Spirit Guides Through Meditation

Another way you can connect with your guides is through Meditation. The more we attune ourselves to hearing the messages from our Spirit guides, the more we will hear them. Your spirit guides always try to communicate with you and guide you. It’s a matter of whether we are tuned into that guidance. As if we are radio and we are tuned into Z100, that doesn’t mean that the station on 95.5 isn’t playing; it means we are tuned into Z100. We have to attune ourselves to hear our Spirit Guides' messages. They are always there. They are always with you.
