Clairvoyance
(klair-ˈvoi-əns)
Also Known As: Clear seeing, Psychic vision, Third eye, Intuitive sight
Clairvoyance means “clear seeing” and refers to the intuitive ability to receive information through images, symbols, or visual impressions beyond normal sight. It is considered one of the primary psychic abilities and is often associated with the third eye. Clairvoyant impressions usually appear in the mind’s eye rather than as physical visions in the external world.
Clairvoyance can show up as flashes of imagery, symbolic dreams, colors around people, or spontaneous mental pictures. It is typically subtle and easy to dismiss at first.
At its core, clairvoyance is a visual form of intuition.
How Clairvoyance Works
Clairvoyant information is often received through:
- Mental images
- Symbolic scenes
- Flashes of color or light
- Visual metaphors
- Dream imagery
These impressions may appear quickly and disappear just as fast. Unlike imagination, clairvoyant images often feel spontaneous and emotionally neutral.
Clairvoyance is closely connected to visualization and the subconscious mind. With practice, it becomes easier to distinguish between deliberate imagination and intuitive imagery.
You think about a friend and suddenly see an image of them standing near water. Later, they mention they’ve been considering a move to a coastal city. The image came before you had any logical information — that may be a clairvoyant impression.
Signs You May Have Clairvoyant Ability
- Vivid or symbolic dreams
- Strong visualization skills
- Seeing flashes of light during meditation
- Receiving mental images when thinking about someone
- Noticing colors or imagery connected to emotions
- Strong pattern recognition through visual thinking
Clairvoyance often develops gradually alongside meditation and intuitive practice.
Clairvoyance vs. Imagination
This is one of the most common questions.
Imagination:
- Intentional and controlled
- Created consciously
- Often emotionally charged
Clairvoyance:
- Spontaneous
- Brief and neutral
- Feels received rather than created
The key difference is the sense of effort. Clairvoyant impressions often arrive without trying.
