Clairsentience
(klair-ˈsen(t)-sh(ē-)əns)
Also Known As: Clear feeling, Physical intuition, Energetic sensitivity
Clairsentience means “clear feeling” and refers to the intuitive ability to receive information through physical sensations, and energetic impressions. A clairsentient person often senses subtle energy shifts in people, environments, or situations before anything is spoken.
Rather than seeing or hearing intuitive messages, clairsentients feel them. This can show up as a body sensation, or strong gut reaction that carries information.
At its core, clairsentience is physical energetic intuition.
How Clairsentience Works
Clairsentient impressions often come through the body. Common experiences include:
- Tightness in the chest when something feels wrong
- Warmth or expansion when something feels aligned
- Feeling tension when entering a room
- A strong gut instinct about a decision
Because the body processes energy quickly, clairsentience can feel immediate and powerful.
This ability is often linked to the heart chakra (emotional awareness) and the solar plexus chakra (gut intuition).
For example, you meet someone who appears friendly, but you feel uneasy in your stomach. Later, you discover information that confirms your initial discomfort. Your body sensed something before your mind processed it.
Signs You May Be Clairsentient
- You experience strong gut instincts
- Your body reacts before your mind understands why
- You sense “vibes” instantly
- You will get chills that run up and down your spine
Clairsentience is especially common in empaths.
Clairsentience vs. Anxiety
Distinguishing between intuitive feeling and fear is essential.
Clairsentience:
- Calm but clear
- Brief and informative
- Feels neutral or steady
Anxiety:
- Repetitive and loud
- Catastrophic thinking
- Accompanied by racing thoughts
Learning nervous system regulation helps you interpret your body’s signals more accurately.
