Psychic
Senses / Ability
Psychic
abilities come in many forms.
Some are subtle and others very “loud” in their
unfolding. As is the case with many writers, those of us who write
on psychic and metaphysical/paranormal topics, do so with
information often seemingly coming “through” us rather
than “from” us. Not
exactly as intense as an automatic writing session.
Much of the time we are in total control over what
words appear on the screen, but many times, information / data
will come to us as we write.
Things that aren’t familiar knowledge from our own
stores, but seem to come from “another” source.
Psychic
writing in only one form of the paranormal experience of
ability. There
are many others.

Not all psychics are mediums, but those who are have one
or more of the following talents (or abilities) -
Clairaudience
– is that little voice that you hear on a frequency that no
others can. It is
the inner you that guides you and leaves you with impulses
that tell you if you’re on track or not.
We would be wise to listen to the inner voice.
Guaranteed it has more scope of knowledge than does our
limited human self.
Often,
clairaudience is the form that spirits will take as a “first
step” to communication.
A whisper directly in the ear, a nearly-textual image
in the mind, a rhyme, etc.
These are some of the experiences of a clairaudient.
It can also
be one of the most startling of psychic experiences or talent.
A frantic voice in your ear as you drift off to sleep,
might be one example. Granted,
clairvoyance can shake a body up, but hearing, in the human
experience, is a powerful communication.
Clairvoyance
– is the “sight”. Cliché
as it may seem, the “I see dead people” whisper of the
little boy with his face serious and fearful is strikingly
similar to those of us who are clairvoyant.
Seeing shadows, phantasms, spirit bodies, disembodied
parts and floating heads, is an exhilarating experience for
anyone interested in the topic, but for those who are not
expecting such occurrences in their lives, it can be
heart-stopping in its way.
You
experience clairvoyance in many instances in your life when
you’re not even aware it’s happening.
You may see someone on the street, be drawn to their
face, turn away and when you turn back, they’re gone.
You may see a shadow from the corner of your eye and
when you look full on, it’s gone.
The finest
way for someone wanting to focus on seeing a spirit is to look
away. By averting
your gaze, you allow the visual to form.
Clairsentience
– is feeling the ghostly presences.
A woosh past the cheek, a cool draft, a touch, scratch,
kiss or other type of touch isn’t uncommon for those with
this talent. The
clairsentient is going to physically feel the touch or vapors
of a spirit being. They
are able to smell odors on occasion
that are familiar and coming from the memories of the
spirit.
This
particular talent is probably the most common among those who
think they’re not psychic (everyone is) because a scent will
become noticeable for a moment and then be gone.
Recognizing that a message has been sent is important
Clairalience
– is the talent of “clear smelling”.
Pipe tobacco, cigarettes, pot, body odors,
environmental cues, and perfumes are some of the experiences
that psychics with this ability have had.
This, as opposed to the other talents, can be very
poignant, as smell is one of humankind’s most compelling
senses. Our
memories are closely associated with scents, aromas and
smells.
