Three Ways to
Learn Clairvoyance
Is it really possible for anyone to learn clairvoyance? To a certain extent,
yes. To understand what we mean by this, we need to clarify what we mean by
clairvoyance, and what we mean by being able to "learn" it.
Part of the confusion comes from the fact that the term "clairvoyance" has
several different means, depending on who you ask. The most common definitions
are remote viewing (being able to see things that are happening far away without
the use of technology or the five human senses), or precognition (being able to
see events happening in the future). At its most basic level, however,
clairvoyance simply means being able to know information about a person, object,
location, or event without using any of your five senses. Think of clairvoyance
as a sixth sense.
True, some people do have extraordinary clairvoyant abilities, such as the
ability to see, hear, feel, smell, or even taste something far away, or even to
know things about the past or future that they couldn’t possibly know through
any other means. No one really know how this works. Science has not been able to
document or explain these abilities. Although there are dozens of metaphysical
explanations of these psychic abilities, no particular one has emerged as the
dominant belief, and some explanations are even contradictory. One common
element, however, seems to cut across all these different theories: people with
extraordinary psychic abilities are simply born that way.
Can anyone learn to remote viewing or see the future? No. Can anyone learn to
develop and hone their sixth sense? Yes.
All people have a certain degree of clairvoyant sixth sense. This often
manifests as an indescribable "hunch" or "feeling" that people can't logically
explain. You may hear people say, for example, "I've got a bad feeling about
this," or "I don't know why, but I've got a feeling we can trust him."
Unfortunately, many people ignore their sixth sense, deferring to logic or
emotion rather than their gut instinct.
Science, to a certain degree, even acknowledges the existence and validity of
hunches and instincts. Scientists claim, however, that there is nothing
supernatural, paranormal, or psychic about this ability. Psychologists, for
example, argue that this phenomenon is merely your subconscious mind picking up
on little details, hints, and signals that your conscious mind is too busy to
notice. Your subconscious mind then translates this information into emotions to
help guide you—the proverbial "feeling" mentioned earlier. Therefore, in order
to develop your sixth sense, you have to learn to use and trust your
subconscious mind.
Whether your sixth sense is based in paranormal psychic ability or brain
neurochemistry (or both) is ultimately unimportant. The point is that
clairvoyance exists, everyone has it to a certain degree, and anyone can develop
and hone their clairvoyant ability if they choose to. Here are three ways to do
so.
1. Improve Your Perception
The vast majority of people go through life so hyper-focused on the task at hand
that we become oblivious to everything else around us. Yet all these tiny
details hidden in plain sight around us is exactly what our subconscious mind
picks up on and needs to form its instincts and hunches. If you can learn to
increase your perception, to become more aware of the world around you in all of
its detail, you'll being giving your subconscious mind more of the fuel it needs
to power your clairvoyant sixth sense.
This takes practice, however. There are a few things you can do to try to
increase your perception. First, slow down a bit. Try to relax, clam yourself,
and move at a more leisurely pace in your daily activities. Second, remove
distractions designed to occupy your senses. For example, instead of listening
to the radio in the car while driving, drive in silence. With nothing else to
occupy your senses and thoughts, you'll become more aware of the world around
you—the weather, the neighborhood you're driving in, and that car behind you
moving into your blind spot.
Finally, occasionally do a "mini-meditation". This
consists of closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, and forcing yourself to
relax. When you open your eyes again, you'll be more aware of your surroundings.
This only takes a few seconds, but you'll be surprised by the difference it
makes.
2. Meditate
Try to meditate at least 30 minutes a day. The idea behind meditation is to
occupy and clear your conscious mind, and let your subconscious mind rise to the
surface to do its work and communicate with your conscious mind People who
meditate report feeling relaxed and refreshed when they are done.
Of course, meditation is easier said that done. When you sit down and try to
think about nothing, suddenly all you can think about is whether or not your
thinking about nothing, wondering if your doing this all wrong—and then you're
stuck in an endless circle of thought. The trick to overcoming this problem is
to occupy your conscious mind with something to distract it. For this, you need
two things: a focus, and a mantra.
First, when you try to meditate, your senses distract you. Even sound you hear
or thing you feel distracts you. Therefore, instead of trying to shut your
senses down, give them something to keep them busy by staring at a focus. A
candle flames makes a good focus. There's not really a lot to see to distract
you, yet the flame flickers and shifts just enough to keep you watching and your
mind occupied.
Second, our conscious mind, our thoughts, never shuts down—we're always thinking
about something. Rather than try to silence it, occupy and distract it with a
mantra. A mantra is phrase, poem, or prayer that you repeat over and over again
in your head just to occupy your mind. It can be anything—a prayer, a favorite
poem, even song lyrics—just as long as you know it by heart and can recite it
with much thought. Some people pray the rosary as they meditate—the endless
string of memorized Hail Marys occupies their conscious mind perfectly.
3. Trust Your Instincts
This is perhaps the most important element of developing your clairvoyant
abilities. Don't doubt, second-guess yourself, dismiss your gut instincts as
unimportant, or tell yourself there's no logical reason for you to feel the way
you do. Your hunches and instincts exist for a reason. It's your subconscious
mind trying to tell you something, something that your conscious mind hasn't
noticed.
At first, this may be difficult. Over time, however, the more you listen to and
trust your instincts, the more confidence you will gain in them. Your
clairvoyant sixth sense will grow stronger, and it will be easier for you to
trust it
