Clairvoyance (clear seeing) is a metaphysical sense that means seeing a mental image within your 3rd eye. It is also known as your 6th sense or spiritual sight.
This is probably the most well known of the metaphysical senses, or at least the most talked about. It is what most refer to and think of as psychic abilities. It is an ability that is latent in most people and can be developed through practice. Clairvoyance is often referred to as the sixth sense. Some individuals respond to visual interpretation easier and quicker than auditory, thinking, or feeling senses.
Clairvoyance (clear seeing) is one of the four metaphysical senses, the others being clairsentience (clear feeling), clairaudient (clear hearing), and claircognizance (clear knowing). It is one of your four metaphysical senses in addition to your five physical senses.
Types of Clairvoyance and Clairvoyant Abilities
There are a variety of ways to observe clairvoyance. You may have visions or visual flashes while awake or these visions can also come to you in your dreams or when you are in a very relaxed state, as pictures in your mind.
Other types of clairvoyant abilities include reading a persons aura or energy field, seeing colors surrounding a person or picking up on symbols that come to you as a picture in your mind.
Clairvoyance is the ability to see clearly though the minds eye. You might see sudden flashes of pictures, symbols,or numbers seen in your head that have meaning. It could also be a flash of a yes or no or a color like red or green.
Developing Clairvoyance
You can develop clairvoyance by telling your guides that you wish to develop these skills. Keep an intuitive journal of the hits you receive. If you notice any symbols, try to set aside writing time to discern what those words or symbols mean.
If this is not your strongest intuitive modality, it pays to ask your angels and guides for assistance. Then be open to the signs your receive. It could be as clear as a neon sign, or it could be a symbol of something your guides feel you need to be aware of.
When you first become aware of the picture in your mind, pay careful attention to what the first thing is that comes up as to what it means. In most cases this is the correct meaning of it. When we let our ego and thinking mind get a hold of it, we generally tend to dismiss the real meaning and make up our own stuff, directed by fears and what we think we know.
Try to pay attention to whether it references the past, present, or future? Also, did you recently tell you guides you needed information on a certain situation in your life? This could be the answer. Sometimes the answers do not come immediately.
For me, clairvoyance is not my strongest intuitive modality, but I am actively working on it, as it can be the easiest and quickest way to receive an answer to a problem I am inquiring about. I have asked for assistance from the Archangels to assist me in bringing out this gift.
What about you? Do you have any stories to share where you have received a clairvoyant hit and then it later proved to have meaning for you? I would love to hear your comments below.

Physical senses are a tool for learning the outer,whereas metaphysical senses are for exploring the inner. Both are meant to cause growth. Many pause their growth due to not going deeper than powers. Metaphysical powers are meant to be used as a light, to cause self-inquiry and awaken you to who you truly are. Go past these powers, see deeper into the heart of I.
These senses illuminate the path that ultimately leads to the question Who Am I. See through the illusion of outer and go deeper within. Ask yourself, Who am I? Then ask yourself, to whom does this question come? The question comes to me. Me? Who am I? I cannot be the thought or the question because they are known. I am the knower of the thought. This leads you directly to the heart of I.
You will discover that you are not your thoughts and you are not the body. You are that which cannot be known, for you are the knower. You will discover the true self and discover that you are the watcher of the thoughts. You are the one who is aware of the thought and the body. Stay in the Who Am I and rest in the self.
It is now the moment to awaken from the dream. Let go of the illusion of a past and future and see that both only exist as a thought story within your mind. You cannot find yourself in the past and you cannot find yourself in the future. You can only find yourself in the Now.
Awaken to the present moment and see who you are Now. You are the light of the world. You are one with everything and everyone. You are the consciousness that lights up the screen. Without you, there would be no light. That’s how incredibly special you are.
Hi Ashley, I was 17 when I had my first death dream. I had a dream that someone close to me had passed. The individual would pass valentine’s day of the following year. I would have another dream some two years later regarding a faceless man that I knew would be killed. My brother, who I wasn’t close with would be killed in gang violence some two weeks later. Some years later, I would have two back to back dreams regarding two people that had passed on and money, I would hit at the casino for over $1200 a week later.
Here lately I’ve been hanging with angels, and seeing #’s, mainly 333, 444, 555,111, 711, 911. I’ve been keeping a journal. I’m expecting big change.
Beautifully explained and so in alignment with my perception of clairvoyance… I love how you broke down the types of clairvoyance to illustrate the many ways in which clairvoyance can manifest!
Hi Melanie,
Thank you for your comment. It is nice to meet you! You have a great website!
I think this gift is strong in me. I had a vision of a friend’s baby passing away. I dismissed it as crazy until it happened.
Hi,
So I kept dreaming of bodies of water. I would be running around a certain lake or by the ocean,or just around big lakes. I decided to look up a dream analysis online and it said maternity. So In. My. Head I was like yeah right!!! I went to the book store and again looked uop bodies of water in dreams and I found maternity. Finally I took a pregnancy test just to be safe n I WS prego. Niot sure but this has to mean something.
I have seen people very clearly from what seemed to be from another time period and fr the present. They were just looking at me and then gone. At times I see things like and open window thY starts ok purple y then goes to white. I often hear music. I am not sure what any of that means
