Clairvoyance - There is more then Seeing

I find being a medium that I get asked the same questions time after time. One of the common ones is “Am I a clairvoyant”?   My answer is always No, but I have the gift of clairvoyance.

I believe there is a difference; unfortunately there is a stigma I find attached to the work Clairvoyants, which is fortune telling, I personally don't wish to have that stigma attached to me, as Clairvoyants tend to be the people you find at a seaside town at the end of the pier.

There is a lot of confusion as to what clairvoyance is so let me explain, firstly as a bit of general knowledge for you the word is French and mean to see clearly, and that is what clairvoyance is, to see.  This can happen in several ways, most commonly being subjective (seeing within the minds eye, our imagination) or objectively seeing with our physical eyes, this does happen but is not very common.

Depending on how I am working and depending on which spirit is working with me has a lot to do with how and what I see.  Most of my clairvoyant images manifest subjectively, I can see either the spirit person who is working with me, I see an image something similar to a photographic negative, on a good day I get colour too.  I may see images of there life, i.e. the home, where they lived, the town or country etc.  I may see where the worked almost anything.  I sometimes get shown there name spelt out, or significant dates and days, birthdays, the day there died. 

If I am working on a more auric or psychic level, like when reading the tarot for someone, I can see there homes, places of work and what they do and more often then not the situation they are in, this is hard to explain, but like mini video of there life at that time. But with strong feelings as to there emotions etc, this last bit is not clairvoyance.  I also get to see events which have happened and sometimes are going to happen, like the changing of employment, births, marriages, and new relationships.

My clairvoyant ability however is not the most dominant gift I use when working, but when it is working, it great fun. 

Lots of people approach the development of mediumship and their psychic ability expecting to SEE Stuff, and commonly claim they don’t.  This is because they expect to see something physical and get disappointed or they just claim that they imagine stuff. When I am teaching others to become psychics and mediums I always impress upon them the need for a vivid imagination for it is in fact here that clairvoyant images are seen.

If you sit and close your eyes and bring the image of a fruit bowl full of colourful fruit, Apples, oranges, bananas etc, the image you see is within your imagination, this is where you will also find your clairvoyance.  For some mediums clairvoyance is a very natural gift, for others it takes time to develop and takes years of discipline and dedication, but there is a lot of fun and enjoyment in learning.

Some people find having a focus tool helps, like a bowl of water, or the famous Crystal Ball, I have one and have only used it once, for a friend. I had just got it, and she came round the day I brought it home and asked me for a reading, so I did, (not taking it too seriously), I tuned in and peered into the ball, and saw nothing at first, and told my friend just that, and then all of a sudden I started to get a image of a man in uniform, however this was not inside the ball but more like, on top of it,  I started to tell, her I can see this tall man with thick black hair and, in a uniform, but not sure what type of uniform, I then saw a rugby and football, So I simply came to a conclusion in my mind, and said you are going to meet a tall man in uniform (he maybe a policeman, a soldier or maybe a postman, I’m really not too sure, but he will love rugby and football and you will marry this man, we both laughed not taking it seriously.  However two years after that event my friend married a great man who served in the forces who loves Rugby and is a big Man U supporter, they are now happily married.

 The key to developing any psychic skill is simply to be open and aware of all that you feel, see and hear and relax and trust.
