The 8 Clairs
We all have abilities. It’s whether or not we choose to utilize them. Some choose to ignore these or even call them an instinct, gift, power, ability, or a gut feeling. Whatever we choose to call them, the Clairs are like a muscle. The more we use them, the stronger they get.
Yes, some people are stronger than others, but this is true about everything else. Some people are great cooks, mechanics, strategists, artists and so on. Some come by this naturally and others go to school for their choices. Either way, the more you practice the better you will get. Keep an open mind and listen to that little voice inside of you.
There are more clairs but for now we are just going to go over these eight.
The word ‘Clair’ is French for Clear.
There are basically 8 Clairs. As I talk about each one, write down the sense that feels closest to you. If these one or more senses feels like something you do or has happened to you. Also, place a number by each one. From 1 to 10 how strong are you with the sense you wrote down:
Clairsentient – Smell; Smelling someone’s perfume or cologne, the smell of someone cooking, or the smell of tobacco. These are just a few but they are only there for a few moments and that person may pop into your head.
Clairgustance – Taste; You could be doing ordinary things or a reading and the taste of blood will come into your mouth, or the taste of your loved one’s favorite food.
Clairaudience – Hearing; Hear your name called when no one is around, while doing a reading you hear someone’s name, or hearing a message inside your head.
Clairsentience - Intuition; This is that gut feeling people get. There are many who use it and do not realize what they are doing. Parents, police, doctors and so on.
Clairtangency (psychometry) – Touch; This is the art of receiving messages by touching an object. You may be able to tell where this object comes from, how it was passed down, or even be able to read certain elements, woods, or metals. It comes in great for being able to know where the object comes from.
Clairempathy – Emotions; This is being able to feel the emotions of others, not just one on one, but by distance. You may even feel an event before it happens. Major tragedies with lots of people being scared or hurt can be picked up by people who are empaths.
Claircognizant – Knowing; Have you ever felt like something was going to happen? Have you ever just known information and didn’t know how you knew it? This is spirit sending messages and guiding you, like a mother’s intuition.
Clairvoyant – Vision; In your mind’s eye you may see something from the past or future. You may have visions during meditation or even while dreaming.
Homework
Do you have one of these or even several? Start a journal and keep track of them.
You may find you use one or more without even thinking of it.
Over the course of the week, write down clairs that you experienced and how you listened to them.
