We have our 5 outer senses. Each of those senses has a more subtle energy dubbed a “clair” of course meaning clear. The following site lists 8 clear senses:
The 8 Clair Senses – Natalie Marquis
“The clair senses in psychic terms are: Clairvoyance (clear seeing) Claircognizance (clear knowing) Clairaudience (clear hearing) Clairempathy (clear emotional feeling) Clairgustance (clear tasting) Clairsentience (clear physical feeling) Clairtangency (clear touching) Clairsalience (clear smelling)”
As I read this I realize that I have been blessed with both clairsentience and clairempathy. As I developed in spiritual studies these “clairs’ became stronger.
During one session with a clairvoyant reader I said, “I feel so ineffective that I haven’t developed clairvoyance consistently. Can you help me find and overcome my blockage?”
She replied, “I believe that God protects us with limited abilities.” She continued, “Ruthann, if I felt what you feel and saw what I see, it would be overwhelming to me. And if you saw what I see and feel what you feel, you would be devastated. So, you see I do believe God protects us by having one predominate gift of the spirit.”
That settled it for me. Yet, as I read the list from Natalie Marquis I realize that claircognizance is a product of deep spiritual work and can come through dreams, meditation, just being aware and through any of the other clairs. I have been guided physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, professionally and educationally. My life has been enhanced by years of meditation and clear and subtle messages leading me on to a richer, healthier, longer life.
