Can anyone lean the skills of clairvoyance? Actually, it is possible for everyone to learn a certain modicum of skill in this power. However, it is important to define exactly what clairvoyance refers to and what we mean by the ability to learn it.

Some of the confusion here derives from the fact that the term clairvoyance has several different meanings. Some of the traditional definitions center on remote viewing powers or precognition skills. On a very basic level, this term refers to the ability to discover information about a person, place, or thing without using any of the five senses but from tapping into a latent sixth sense.

Some people do have clairvoyant abilities that are short of nothing but extraordinary, in that they can taste, smell, feel, hear, and/or see or even taste something far away, or to know something about the past or future that they shouldn’t be able to know based upon circumstances. No one really knows how this works. Science has not been able to explain these abilities, nor to document them to any great degree. There are dozens upon dozens of metaphysical explanations of these psychic abilities, but no one in particular has emerged as the dominant belief system. Some explanations are even contradictory to one another. A common element that runs through all of them, though, is that people who have extraordinary psychic ability are simply born with those abilities.

Is it possible for everyone to learn remote viewing or develop the ability to see into the future? No, but it is possible for everyone to develop a talent at developing a sixth sense.

Everyone has a certain degree of clairvoyant sixth sense. This most often shows up as a feeling or hunch that is beyond words and hard to explain to others. For instance, you may hear someone say, ‘I have a feeling we can trust him or her’. You may also hear someone say, ‘I have a bad feeling about this’. Unfortunately, today, many individuals ignore their sixth sense rather they choose to follow logic or their emotions than to follow their instincts.

Even the realm of science will acknowledge the value of hunches and instincts. Many scientists will claim there is nothing supernatural or paranormal about these abilities. Many in the mental health field will claim such powers are merely the subconscious mind developing keener insights into what the conscious mind may have been too previously busy to notice. The subconscious may translate this info into feelings that were previously mentioned. As such, it is important to help and trust the subconscious mind.

Your sixth sense may be based on a paranormal psychic ability or brain neurochemistry, or even both. However, this really is unimportant. Clairvoyance exists; everyone has it to a certain degree. Anyone can cultivate and develop his or her clairvoyance ability it they desire to do so. There are three ways you can do this.

1. Better Your Perceptions

Most people go through life so vigilantly focused on the task they have in front of them that they literally ignore everything else that goes on around them. Yet there are so many tiny details hidden in the events around us — actually, in plain sight — and these are what our subconscious minds pick up on. These need to be paid attention to in order to develop instincts and hunches that are going to help you. You can learn to sharpen your perception, become aware of the world around you and of the details therein, which will allow you to feel your subconscious mind and therefore develop your clairvoyant sixth sense.

Yes, all of this involves a great deal of practice. Thankfully, there are a number of things you can do to improve your abilities of perception. Slowing down and sinking in your environment is one such thing. Staying relaxed and calm is another. Be more leisurely in your daily activities is another. Try to avoid allowing things to occupy your senses and thoughts and this will increase awareness. The end result of this could prove to be quite positive.

Mini-meditations are great. Simply close your eyes and breathe deeply. You can make yourself relax. You will be more aware of your surroundings after opening your eyes. You will notice a difference, even though it only requires a few moments of your time.

2. Meditate

You should try to practice meditation at least 30 minutes a day. What meditation does for you is to occupy and clear your conscious mind, so that your subconscious mind can come to the surface to communicate with your conscious mind and do the work it needs to. People who meditate regularly report that they feel much more refreshed and relaxed when they’re finished.

Meditation isn’t really that difficult, but it does take some practice. It’s a little bit like me telling you not to think about a pink elephant, for example. Suddenly, of course, all you can think of are pink elephants. Similarly, when you first sit down and try not to think about anything, suddenly your focus is on something like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m not thinking about nothing.’ You’re also probably going to have your mind chattering away at you about how you’re doing things wrong and so on. Don’t worry; that’s normal and starts to clear up as you become more practiced at meditating, but you can help overcome this by focusing on a mantra.

Meditation can be difficult because your senses act as a means of distraction. Every little sound you hear and anything that you feel can prove quite distracting. So, it is best to avoid trying to shut down your senses and, instead, try to keep them busy with something you are focusing on. The flame of a candle can work well in this regard. As the flame flickers and shifts, you can watch it and keep your mind occupied.

Remember, since we are continually thinking, the conscious mind never stops thinking. You can silence it by occupying it while using a mantra. A mantra is something you repeat to yourself, it may be in the form of a phrase, prayer, song lyrics or a poem. You should know it by heart and repeat it to yourself.

3. Learn to Trust Your Instincts

Without a doubt, it is the ability to trust your instincts that is the most important element. That is why it is important to never doubt yourself or your abilities. Don’t tell yourself there is no logical reason to what you do. Pay attention to your subconscious mind as it may pick up on something you had not noticed before.

It can be challenging; however, as you learn to trust and listen to your gut feelings you will gain confidence in your clairvoyant tendencies. This will strengthen your sixth sense of clairvoyance and you will begin to trust and follow it.
