Clairvoyance is a psychic ability that means "clear seeing" (from French). It is considered the sixth sense or intuitive perception that allows a person to see beyond the ordinary physical senses. Whereas we perceive the world using sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell, clairvoyance enables the "spiritual eye" or "third eye"—an energy center in the mid-brain behind the forehead—to perceive energy, colors, pictures, images, light, and movement that ordinary eyes cannot see. People with this ability, called clairvoyants, can see information visually beyond normal perception, including past, present, or future events, often described as seeing energies or subtle information. This ability can be developed and trained with practice and meditation. Clairvoyance is often described as a form of extrasensory perception (ESP) or a psychic power to acquire information not accessible through scientific senses. However, the scientific community generally considers claims of clairvoyance as lacking conclusive evidence and regards related studies as pseudoscience. In summary:
- Clairvoyance means "clear seeing" beyond normal vision.
- It involves seeing energy, images, or events through the "third eye" or sixth chakra.
- Clairvoyants are people who develop and use this psychic ability.
- It includes seeing past, present, or future events in subtle and non-ordinary ways.
- It is regarded as a form of psychic perception or sixth sense, often linked to spiritual insight.
This ability is different from other psychic abilities like telepathy (hearing thoughts) or clairsentience (feeling emotions). Clairvoyance is specifically about visual perception beyond ordinary means. Many see it as a helpful, inspiring tool for clarity, healing, and spiritual growth.
