If you’ve ever heard someone say they “saw” something during a psychic reading, they may have been using clairvoyance. But what is clairvoyance, really?
Clairvoyance is one of the most well-known psychic abilities—and also one of the most misunderstood. It simply means “clear seeing.” It’s the ability to receive intuitive information through visual images, flashes, or symbols.
What Does Clairvoyance Feel Like?
Clairvoyants often “see” things in their mind’s eye—like daydreams or inner visions. These may come as:
• Images of people, places, or events
• Symbols that represent emotions or energy
• Quick flashes of insight that feel sudden but deeply clear
Clairvoyance is not about seeing with your physical eyes. It’s a spiritual vision that allows the reader to see energy, potential futures, and hidden truths.
How Clairvoyance Shows Up in Readings
In a psychic reading, a clairvoyant might:
• See a future event before it happens
• Visualize a person from your past or present
• Notice colors in your aura or blocks in your chakras
• Receive symbolic messages from your spirit guides
For example, if you’re asking about love, the clairvoyant might see a vision of a rose (symbolizing romance), or if you’re asking about a job, they might see a door opening (symbolizing opportunity).
Is Clairvoyance the Only Psychic Gift?
Not at all! There are many intuitive abilities, often referred to as the “clairs”:
• Clairsentience – Clear feeling (empathic insight)
• Clairaudience – Clear hearing (inner messages or spiritual voices)
• Claircognizance – Clear knowing (deep knowing without explanation)
A psychic may use one or a combination of these gifts during a session.
Can You Develop Clairvoyance?
Yes! Many people have a natural intuitive gift that simply hasn’t been awakened. Through meditation, visualization, and energy work, you can strengthen your own ability to receive visual guidance.
Final Thoughts
So, what is clairvoyance? It’s the gift of seeing beyond the physical. In a reading, clairvoyance opens the door to powerful images, messages, and spiritual insight—helping you understand not just what’s happening in your life, but why.
