Clairsentient

I have to admit that until I read Sally G's article Ask The Spirit Sleuth   [if you have not read it wander over, she is also offering her services, word is she is very good]

I had not heard or seen the term clairsentient [one article I found said it was a newly coined term]  I must admit also that I never had a reason before to go looking for any paranormal psychic info until I started doing this blog, so its amazing whats out there that I had never seen.

I provide this clarification as a lot of it seems to be reminiscent of one ability or the other so much so that I am inclined to believe that it all boils down to the same thing, some may apply to your gifts some may not. 

Judging by what I have read Clairsentience appears to be a variation or derivative of abilities two of which are empath and  psychometry and as I read on I saw many parallels to my own. 

I have to admit that even when searching for articles on empaths I waded through some dillies this was no different. Finding one that actually does the subject justice and makes sense while informing us aint easy so I hope this one does. I will also post the wikipedias say on the topic as it takes a more scholastic approach and goes into details on variations of clairvoyance.

Introduction 

Clairsentience (also know as psychometry) is the ability to hold an object or touch someone and sense the energy surrounding that person, place or thing. A clairsentient is an individual who is empathetic and senses energies. Energies can be light or heavy, smooth or abrasive, prickly or gentle, peaceful and airy or good or bad.

 For example, when sensing a negative situation a clairsentient may feel sick, while a positive experience may feel like butterflies in the stomach, or a sense of feeling safe, peaceful and light. Learning to discern positive and negative energies can make all the difference when making decisions in life.

Spiritual advisors and counselors use clairsentience to feel and sense the information and thought-forms in energy fiel

ds. The information about the nature of energies is revealed in colors, lightness, darkness, or emotions such as joy or sadness. Sometimes clairsentients experience a sense of movement or stillness, relaying past, present and future life events. This ability is known to be essential for healers, counselors

 and therapists, or anyone who works with people - especially a psychic or spiritual advisor.

We are all born with this particular psychic ability. It's learning to regulate and protect the gift of sensing moods and emotions thats the tricky part! Aside from being hon

est and nave, as children we are very open and tuned into the psychic world. As we grow older and experience life, to avoid trauma or negative experiences, we develop a thick skin, sheltering ourselves as we begin to interact with people other than the familiar circle of family and friends. These psychic gifts are often uncon

sciously left on the shelf, but fortunately they can be restored later in life through spiritual development or during life-altering experiences.

To use clairsentience for yourself, or improve your connection with Psychic Source advisors who can use this gift 

on your behalf, it is important to listen to your internal feelings, impressions and sensations. Be aware of and communicate the physical and emotional responses from your gut instincts. By using clairsentience you can make sound decisions in all facets of life from love and relationships to career and spiritual development.

Clairsentience

Introduction 
Clairsentience is the discipline of extending or projecting ones senses

 beyond the physical body.There are essentially only two varieties of Clairsentience: Sense Extension and Sense Projection. In its Latent form, clairsentience manifests as brief smells, sounds, or sights. These sensations are either just out of normal sensory range (such as just around a corner or on the other side of a door, or just over a hilltop), or are connected in som

e very familiar way to the psychic. A psychic child, for example, might "overhear" his mother talking about him while she is visiting a neighbor, for example, or might "just know" that his older brother was hiding up in the hayloft, without ever seeing or hearing him. This kind of "sixth sense" is often confused with latent manifestations of E

SP, since the two are often indistinguishable to inexperienced latent psychics. The two are very different in actuality. ESP is an added "sense" which manifests, especially among latent psychics, as an intrusion onto the normal physical senses. Clairsentience will not detect anything that the psychics normal senses would not detect if the psychic were present at another location.  For example, a blind man cannot see using Clairsentience, because he lacks 

the sense of sight.  He could hear using Clairsentience, however, so long as he wasn't deaf as well.

Sense Extension

Sense Extension is the ability to extend ones senses a short distance from ones body in order to overcome 

some barrier to normal sensing. In order to use Sense Extension, only barriers to sensing other than distance may limit the psychic. For example, a psychic is hiding behind a door. By using Sense Extension, the psychic can see what is on the other side of the door, or even what is in the next room or on the next floor, because if the intervening door, walls, or ceiling/floor were not in the way, the psychic would be able to see that far. The 

senses of hearing, smell, and even touch can be similarly extended (although extending the sense of touch has a much more limited application - feeling the texture and shape of something without removing the covering or wrapping, for example).

Diva note: I am not sure what this last parts purpose is for but I left it in anyway

Sense Extension: 
Default Difficulty Routine (4) 
Marginal Success : The psychic may extend one sense anywhere within the Primary Zone. 
Complete Success : The psychic may extend one sense anywhere within the Secondary Zone. 
Superior Success : The psychic may extend one sense anywhere within normal sensory distance. 
Extraordinary Success : The psychic may extend up to two senses anywhere within normal sensory distance. 
Mythic Success : The psychic may extend up to three senses (typically sight, hearing, and smell) anywhere within normal sensory distance.

Clairsentience

Experiencing other realities or entites through one or more of the five senses.

Examples

•  A tickling sensation on the hand or face during meditation.
•  A pressure on the top of the head when talking or connecting with a Spirit.
•  Hairs on the back of the neck standing on end when a spirit is near.
•  A sensation in the left side of the face when talking with spirit.
•  A floral smell...like gardenias.
•  Funny how smokers - especially cigar smokers - can be experienced as spirits by the smell of a "good cigar"!
• A movement as a flick of white, purple, or blue light.
• Seeing shadows in the periphery of your field of vision.

Sense Projection

Sense Projection is the ability to project ones senses far away from ones body. In order to do so, the psychic must meet one of two criteria. The psychic must be very familiar with a specific location, or must be very familiar with a specific person or object. If the psychic can locate a person using ESP, the difficulty for using Sense Projection is reduced by one for each level of success above Marginal on the ESP trial.

 Once the psychic has projected her senses to a location, she can sense things as if she were actually present at that location, subject to the limits imposed by the Degree of Success she attains. With higher degrees of success come increasing clarity of sensation and control over perception.

 Use of Sense Projection requires the psychic to make a Fatigue Trial with a difficulty equal to the difficulty of the Sense Projection Trial.

Sense Projection 
 Default Difficulty Moderate (9) 
Marginal Success : The psychic may project her senses to any familiar location, object, or person, but the resulting sensory impressions are very vague and blurry. 
Complete Success : The psychic may project her senses to any familiar location, object, or person, but the resulting sensory impressions are generally vague and blurry. Up to one sense will be slightly clearer. 
Superior Success
