There are many stories about Barbara Brennan’s** clairvoyance. One of the coolest ones was her ability to scroll backwards in time – like rewinding a movie. A person might’ve had a car accident, and she would be able to attune to the moment it happened and comment on what thoughts had been distracting the person. She also helped teacher when they had a challenge with a student. She could scroll back to the moment between teacher & student and see what had internally triggered the teacher or student.
We often think of clairvoyance as related to seeing into the future, but it can also be seeing into the past. The last post was all about clairsentience, and today is all about clairvoyance.
** Barbara Brennan was the founder of the Energy Healing School I attended for 4 years. She is a former NASA physicist & intuitive.
Clairvoyance – Clear seeing
Clairvoyance is about seeing images, either in the real world or in your mind. Some people are able to see another person’s auric field. They see the colours surrounding a person and all the nuances of that person’s field.
Clair-voyance is not my strongest sixth sense, but I am gifted with it on occasion. I might see different objects, people or images as I’m working with a client. Sometimes the images are exactly what the person is seeing too, and sometimes it’s meant as information about a client or it cues me to ask a question to a client.
Subtle Signs
Have you had these experiences?
You have dreams with images that have clear meaning to you.
You see colours around a person, object or space.
You see a light energy field around people, objects or plants.
You have the ability to visualize things well.
I’ve noticed that this ability seems stronger in many people who had a child-hood were they were often on their own with extensive time in nature or with animals.
How to Attune to This Ability
There is not one path to attune to each of these abilities. But here are a few ways to expand this ability.
1. Out of the subtle signs of clairvoyance, which ones did you resonate with?
2. Start tracking them in a journal (paper or on your phone)
3. Start a dream-tracker. Each morning after you wake up, write down any parts of any dreams that you remember. Over time notice any themes.
4. Or read The Dreaming Way: Courting the Wisdom of Dreams by Toko-Pa Turner
5. If you have Barbara Brennan’s book Hands of Light, read Chapter 6. She gives exercises about how to see the universal energy field around plants, objects and people. When you’re outside in nature on a sunny day – look at the sky for a minute and then shift to the tops of the trees. See if you notice the energy field around the trees.
Clairvoyance & Claircognizance
Clairvoyance is often melded together with claircognizance (clear knowing). Psychics are often described as clairvoyant, but they may not be getting their information via sight. They may get their information through different clairs that encompass feeling (clairsentience), hearing (clairaudience) or others.
Real-life Example
Between 2007-2009 I had a repetitive dream. I was trying to make a flight or train or bus and I never made it on time. It was super annoying.
In the Spring of 2009, I had a similar dream, but I got onto the train for the first time. I woke up and knew that I was going to get a job and that the job posting was up now. I found the exact job I wanted within walking distance of my home and got it. This is a situation where my sixth sense started with using clairvoyance and then moved into claircognizance.
The meaning I attuned to wasn’t logical based on the dream itself, it would’ve probably meant something different to anyone else. But for me in that moment, I knew it’s meaning without question.
Remote Viewing
Remote viewing is the ability to perceive information from past, current or future places. People with this ability can connect to past historical moments and gather information from that time. You can practice this ability by having someone put an item in a box and you can attune to what is in there.
I’m bringing this ability to attention today, because while remote viewing might use a variety of clairs, clairvoyance seems to dominate. Often a person can visually see a place and look around.
I have never tried to remote view, but I’ve been fascinated by the concept. One of my teachers at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing was quite skilled at this.
For an entertaining education on remote viewing, I recommend the book or movie Men Who Stare at Goats. For more information on this book, take a look at my post 3 Books to Explore Real Magic.
Synesthesia
It’s estimated that 1-4% of the population has a condition called Synesthesia. This is when one sense often melded with another sense. You might see a colour with individual numbers or letters. Math becomes more visual and less cognitive – a red 1 and yellow 4 added together might make a purple 5. Here’s the wiki-page on it for the basics on synesthesia. I would guess that if a person has this ability, they would excel at clairvoyance. They could explore clairvoyance as a method to expand their sixth sense abilities.
Practice Not Perfection
I am going to end this post with the same message as my last one: Attuning to your sixth sense takes practice & intention.
So don’t aim for perfection, just play with this ability and have some fun with it.
Do you have any clair-voyant skills or have you had any clair-voyant moments in your life?
