In the early days of acknowledging or discussing it, psychic perception was known as the “sixth sense.” This approach defined psychic ability as a sense beyond the five traditional senses most commonly recognized by Western cultures. In those days, discussions on this topic focused on skills such as extrasensory perception (ESP), astral travel, and hand healing. Psychic abilities and perceptions were commonly thought to be an astonishing and rare gift of the few.

More recently, however, consciousness has developed to the recognition that although some enter their psychic capacity loudly and naturally, in fact, psychic perception is something that all people have, even though most are not aware. of this, and that with dedication, psychic perception can become a powerful and useful tool. In addition, it can be developed in skills that support people in their daily life and in their work and, more importantly, in their spiritual or soul consciousness and purpose.

With this awareness, the interest of many more people to understand and develop their abilities arose, so psychics began to share a deeper knowledge about psychic ability and its definitions, like the ‘Clairs’.

Clairvoyance which means “clear vision”;

Clairvoyance, ‘clear perception’,

Clairaudience, ‘clear hearing’,

· Clairvoyance, ‘clear knowledge’.

The above lists the most common ‘claires’ taught, however it is not exhaustive and new ‘claires’ are added regularly. The ‘clairvoyants’ can be useful to some extent in developing people’s awareness of their psychic perception and training them in ways and means of using it, however, they can also present limitations and problems.

When addressing psychic perception, there is a lot to consider that affects the way an individual perceives and even recognizes what is happening. Much of what comes in is complex and subtle in its information flow. For example, you can receive information in a dream, or during meditation, or directly because you request it. You can get a snapshot, or a complex set of ideas and fluid information, or a combination of knowledge, images, and more. Sometimes information can be transmitted as a kind of ‘sonar’ image, a complex vibrational form encompassing image and consciousness, I have yet to find a better way to define it, however those who have experienced it for themselves themselves, they will probably recognize what I am. talking about. The point is that using the ‘clairs’ as a basis for working with psychic perception quickly becomes inappropriate at an introductory level. Too many people simply do not relate to these simplistic definitions and pass off what they experience as “intuitive” when, in fact, it is much more complex than the primary “clairs” allow.

In more recent years I have changed my definitions and teaching of psychic abilities and have found that doors are opening for people who might not otherwise have been able to identify themselves as psychic. In my training I now focus on terms like “Presence” which means “depth of consciousness”, and I recognize that people can perceive information beyond the traditional “non-psychic senses”. There is a lot to share here, perhaps too much to put into a single article, however I will provide a basic outline to get you started.

Essentially, consciousness begins with that of the main Chakra system. The Chakras are a set of portals that exist within the complex energy system of the human being. They connect a person with his soul, the human race, the planet, the solar system and the world (among other systems to which we belong). Each of these mentioned systems (soul, human race, etc.) has its own unified energy field that contains forms and consciousness that define that individual system. Being connected to these fields through the chakras allows you to walk and live your daily life in the world among others, experiencing your life, your work, your relationships, as well as growing, developing and changing as you live. Your chakra system constantly receives and sends information whose subject matter largely depends on your focus in life, both at the moment and your broader intentions and interests.

There are more than seven major chakras in the chakra system, with seven chakras focused on the everyday world. Each chakra receives information in a different way, visually, intellect, words, senses, and more (these are very simplistic definitions for an extremely sophisticated system) and then your system integrates the information into a unified stream of consciousness that it can interpret. If you’ve ever wondered why so much emphasis is placed on cleansing and balancing the Chakra system, this is why. It is that the damage and the imbalance with and between the chakras results in distortion and chaos in the information that enters and leaves the world. In fact, it affects your experience in life. Cleansing, healing, and balancing your chakra system on a regular basis can have a great impact on your psychic perception and your life.

As you will notice from what I have shared in this article, there is much more on the subject. My intention for this article is that the information provided here is clear enough to begin opening doors for people to immerse themselves in developing their psychic presence.
