Series: The “Clairs” Explained — Week 1
By Ur Divine Guide

When people think of psychic abilities, clairvoyance is often the first one that comes to mind. It's commonly associated with seeing the future or receiving visual messages from spirit. But in reality, clairvoyance is much more nuanced—and more common—than most people realize.

Let’s break it down.

What Is Clairvoyance?

Clairvoyance means “clear seeing.” It refers to the ability to receive intuitive or energetic information through images, visions, symbols, or mental “flashes.” This ability typically shows up in the mind’s eye rather than through physical sight.

Contrary to Hollywood portrayals, clairvoyance isn’t always dramatic or intense. You might not see a full vision like a movie playing out in your head. Often, it’s quick, symbolic, or subtle—more like a strong mental impression.

Common Signs of Clairvoyance

You may be clairvoyant if you’ve experienced the following:

• Vivid visualizations or daydreams that later come true
• Seeing colors or light around people (sometimes called auras)
• Visions during meditation, prayer, or quiet moments
• Dream imagery that feels meaningful or prophetic
• Sudden mental images when thinking about a person or situation
• An inner “movie reel” when receiving guidance or ideas

These signs are often dismissed as imagination, but for many spiritually gifted people, they’re early signs of visual intuition at work.

How Clairvoyance Works

Clairvoyance operates through the third eye chakra, which is connected to insight, imagination, and perception beyond the physical. You may not realize it, but your third eye is constantly processing energetic and intuitive information.

Sometimes clairvoyance activates when you’re relaxed (such as in dreams or meditation), and sometimes it appears during moments of emotional intensity or urgency.

If you’ve ever “seen” a situation in your head before it happened, or received visual guidance about someone or something, you were likely using clairvoyance.

Misconceptions About Clairvoyance

• It’s not just for “psychics.” Many people naturally have this ability, especially if they had to rely on their intuition growing up.
• It doesn’t mean you’re imagining things. The mind’s eye is a valid channel for spiritual insight.
• It doesn’t always feel magical. Clairvoyance can be quiet, quick, or symbolic rather than dramatic.
• You can strengthen it. Like any skill, it becomes clearer with practice, grounding, and intention.

Why This Matters

Learning about clairvoyance helps you understand how your intuition already works. For people who struggle with trusting themselves, knowing you receive visual cues can help you tune in more confidently and avoid second-guessing your instincts.

It’s also important for those who are misdiagnosed or misunderstood. People with clairvoyant gifts are sometimes labeled as “overly imaginative,” “distracted,” or even mentally unstable. In truth, they may simply be tapping into a natural spiritual ability they haven’t learned how to manage.

In the next post, we’ll cover clairaudience, or “clear hearing”—the ability to receive intuitive information through sound, inner voice, or spiritual audio impressions.
