What are the “Clairs” in Metaphyical Practices?

The “clairs” in spiritual and psychic work refer to different types of psychic or intuitive abilities that people may possess. Each “clair” is associated with a particular way of perceiving or receiving information beyond the five physical senses. Here are some of the most commonly recognized clairs:

1. Clairvoyance: This is the ability to see things that are not physically present, often referred to as “clear seeing.” Clairvoyants may receive visions, symbols, images, or scenes that provide insights or messages.
2. Clairaudience: Clairaudience means “clear hearing.” It is the ability to hear sounds, voices, or messages from the spiritual realm or from sources beyond the physical world. This may involve hearing words, music, or other auditory impressions.
3. Clairsentience: Clairsentience is often called “clear feeling.” It involves the ability to sense or feel information intuitively. Clairsentients may pick up on emotions, physical sensations, or energetic vibrations from people, places, or situations.
4. Claircognizance: This is the ability to have clear and sudden knowing or understanding without any logical or rational explanation. Claircognizants receive insights or knowledge from a higher source without consciously processing the information.
5. Clairgustance: Clairgustance, or “clear tasting,” is the ability to taste things without physical contact. This may involve experiencing the taste of something related to a person or situation during a psychic reading.
6. Clairalience: Also known as “clear smelling,” clairalience involves the ability to perceive scents or odors that are not physically present. These scents may be associated with spirits, energies, or messages.
7. Clairtangency or Psychometry: This is the ability to receive information by touching or holding an object. Psychometrists can sense emotions, history, or events related to an object by making physical contact with it.
8. Clairvoyance and Clairaudience (Combined): Some individuals possess a combination of clairvoyance and clairaudience, allowing them to see and hear messages or insights simultaneously.
9. Clairvoyance and Clairsentience (Combined): Others may have a combination of clairvoyance and clairsentience, allowing them to both see and feel intuitive information.

It’s important to note that not everyone has these abilities, and those who do may experience them to varying degrees of intensity. Additionally, the interpretation of psychic or intuitive information can vary among individuals, and it is often subjective in nature.

Intuitives, Mystics, Psychics, and Mediums often use these clair abilities during readings or spiritual work to connect with higher realms, receive guidance, and provide insights to others.
