Understanding Intuitive Gifts

What are "Intuitive Gifts"? Well first and foremost we have to understand energy. What is energy? Energy is everything. To define it in very simple terms, energy is made of molecules rotating or vibrating at various rates of speed. In our physical world, molecules rotate at a very slow rate of speed. Also, everything in this physical world vibrates at a constant speed. This is why things on earth appear to be solid. The slower the speed, the more dense or solid the thing, for example, the chair in which you are sitting, the house in which you live, and, or course your physical body.  Beyond our three-dimensional world, the molecules vibrate at a much faster or higher rate of speed. Therefore, in such a subtle environment, or ethereal dimension, things are freer and less dense.

Everything around us is energy. Energy emanates from every object and person. We must familiarize ourselves with this understanding. Molecules of a life force surround us and run through us all the time. Therefore, we are each an individual energy center, a little world of our own with the energy that circles and links running in and around our body. We can change these energy patterns, colors, and frequencies based upon our thoughts and desires. We can send out energy and receive energy as long as our channels are open and sensitized.

When we deal with the spiritual realms, we are dealing with a world very different from anything we are used to sensing with our typical five senses (sight, smell, sound, touch and taste). Instead of using the physicality to operate these sense we are using the subtle energy around us, around everything to learn about our environment, to connect to spirit. We must begin to turn off the outside world and be prepared to enter into a world of inner sight, knowledge and inner being. This world is available to anyone who is willing to take the time to become aware of it.

THE 6 GIFTS:

CLAIRVOYANCE (SEEING):
This is often called the 6th sense or ESP. Derived from the French language, clairvoyance means "clear vision". A clairvoyant applies their innate sense of inner sight that is related to images that are present in our minds that bring message from other frequencies and realms. They might see objects, colors, symbols, people, spirits, or scenes. These pictures are not visible to the naked eye and usually flash into the mind as if they were physically seeing.

CLAIRCOGNIZANCE (KNOWING):
This allows one to acquire knowledge primarily by means of intrinsic knowledge.  This is the skill that allows one to have an inner knowing without a physical/visual explanation about how or why he/she knows it.

CLAIRALIENCE (SMELLING):
This is the skill of accessing psychic knowledge through the physical sense of smell. It is the ability to smell something that is not there. The most common experience of clairalience is when a deceased relative is around your and you smell something familiar that reminds you of them.

CLAIRGUSTANCE (TASTING):
This is the skill that allows one to taste a substance without putting anything in one's mouth. Those who possess this ability are able to perceive the essence of a substance from the spiritual or ethereal realms through taste.

CLAIRAUDIENCE (HEARING/LISTENING):
This term means "clear hearing". A clairaudient hears with the psychic ear and sensitized ear. They are able to hear sounds, names, voices, and music that vibrate on a higher frequency. They acquire information by auditory means or impressions of the inner ear thinking words without anything being said.  They may also refer to the actual perception of sounds (voices, tones or noises) not apparent to others.  These sounds may be the voices or thoughts of persons who are deceased, or Divine Guidance. The communication may be thoughts moving through your mind but not be hear on the outside.

CLAIRSENTIENCE (FEELING/TOUCH):
This term means "clear feeling". With this perception your intuition speaks to you through your emotions and physical sensations in our body. Empaths have clairsentience. This skill allows you to feel the vibration of other people often perceiving diseases, thoughts or emotions in them.  You may discern the difference between a good feeling and a bad feeling.

In the future I will have more posts about developing these different gifts and how to asses which gift you might inherently be stronger at.

Lots of love and light,
