Clairvoyant is derived from the French for clear seeing and is often referred to as second
sight
. Clairvoyance is normally defined as, ‘The receiving of information beyond the
range of the physical sense of sight involving the seeing or sensing of internal or external
visions or images’
.

During the receiving of this information physical sensations are felt on the left side of the
body which is due to the use of the right side of the brain. This is the creative and
intuitive side, often referred to as the feminine side. Another form of receiving information
from the spirit world is called clairaudience which involves the hearing or sensing of the
spoken word. Nowadays clairvoyance is the word normally used to describe all methods
of receiving spiritual information.

Any messages received via a clairvoyant will be about something that is important to the
spirit sending the message and not necessarily the person receiving it. Because of this it
is possible that the message may not be understood by the recipient. Another problem is
that the interpretation is very much down to the way the clairvoyant sees the meaning of
the message which may not be what is meant by the spirit. This makes it essential to find
an experienced clairvoyant when seeking a good reading. Unfortunately, fear of the
unknown is a factor that stops many people from finding out what clairvoyance is really all
about and many unscrupulous individuals over the years have used clairvoyance to con
people for monetary gain and even fame. This has tainted the name of clairvoyance for
many people who remain totally sceptical. It is for the individual to decide for themselves,
but to do so you need to approach clairvoyance with an open mind.

Recommendation is probably the best way to find someone who is good or, alternatively,
a visit to your local spiritualist church should help you to decide. Most spiritualist
churches hold clairvoyance evenings where non-members can go along to experience
demonstrations by various clairvoyants or mediums. This is a good way to find someone
who you may want to have an individual reading with. Another way to find out how
clairvoyants work is to go to a psychic fayre.

Clairvoyance is a useful tool which can improve your life in the following ways -

  • It can bring you messages from the spirit world to help either yourself or others
  • It can comfort you in knowing that your loved ones are still with you in spirit
  • It can bring you a closer connection with everything and everyone around you
  • Somehow it brings a feeling of inner peace and calm

Learning to use your own clairvoyant or clairaudient ability is like learning anything. It will
take practice and even more practice. The first and most difficult step is to recognise
when you are receiving information and this is something quite individual. Meditation is a
recognised way to open the mind to your inner self where this ability is present and so is
probably a good place to start. Also try visiting your local spiritualist church, you may be
surprised. They are generally very friendly and open to everyone, whatever your faith.
By allowing yourself to be guided in the right direction will bring you a feeling of
satisfaction with your life and an understanding of what life is all about. Helping others is
another way of using this
gift. It won’t bring you fame and fortune so if that’s what you’re
after you may be disappointed. It’s true there are rich and famous clairvoyants, but the
performing side has probably taken a bigger role with them than it ever should. Using
your abilities to the full will help you to live a better life and learning to relax and meditate
will always help to relieve the stresses of this modern world.
Mind, Body & Spirit - Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance is the ability to receive messages from                      
and interpret them in a way that is understood by others.

Just about everyone has heard of clairvoyance but many do not
understand what it really means. It differs from                   because
it does not depend on contact with another person as the
information is received directly from
