What Is Clairvoyance?

Clairvoyance is the ability to read and discern energy. The dictionary calls it “the ability to perceive matters beyond the range of ordinary perception,” and that’s true, but at Clairity School we keep it simple: clairvoyance is clear seeing.

You’re reading energy all the time. When you go to a party and it feels off, you’re reading energy. When you meet someone new and instantly like or dislike them, you’re reading energy. But you’re usually doing it with your feeling self, what we call clairsentience.

Why Seeing Matters

The feeling self is limited when it comes to discernment. If I asked why the party felt off, most people couldn’t tell me from their feelings alone. That’s why clairvoyance is the core skill we teach.

When you engage your clairvoyance, which is seated in your third eye or 6th chakra, you can read into the why and get more information. You see the whole picture. Clairvoyance places you in the role of the observer rather than the participant. You’re not swimming in the energy. You’re looking at it.

That changes everything. Say you’re in a pitch meeting and the client starts getting angry. Normally, you might blame yourself or wonder what you did wrong. But if you use your clairvoyance, you might see that the change you’re pitching scares them, and their reaction has nothing to do with you. Seeing that changes how you respond and how you feel about the whole thing. The same goes for relationships, family and creative work.

Clairvoyance also lets you see someone as they truly are: the highest, best part of them, not where they’re stuck. You get more empathy and less judgment when you see past someone’s insecurity. And as you clear your judgments of others, you get to see yourself that way too.

Signs Your Clairvoyance Is Already Working

  • You get pictures, flashes or colors in your mind when you think about a person or situation.

  • You have vivid, detailed dreams that feel meaningful.

  • You “see” how something will look before it’s done, like a room, an outfit or a project.

  • You notice what’s really going on underneath what people say.

  • You sometimes see light or color around people.

  • You think in images more than words.

Don’t worry if none of these jump out at you. Many people don’t think of themselves as visual at all and still turn out to be strong clairvoyants once they get the tools.

How to Develop Clairvoyance

Ground first

Grounding gives you a stable place to read from. In our classes, we use a grounding cord, a line of energy from the base of your spine to the center of the earth. When you’re grounded, you can look at intense energy without taking it on.

Sit in the center of your head

The center of your head, just behind your third eye, is where your clairvoyance works best. Moving your awareness there takes you out of your feelings and into neutral. From there, you can look at things instead of reacting to them.

Ask to see, then let it be simple

Close your eyes, pick a simple question, and notice the first image or color that shows up. Don’t judge it or try to make it mean something yet. Clairvoyance often starts small and gets clearer with practice.

Practice with feedback

Reading energy is a skill, and skills grow with practice and validation. Reading with other students, with a teacher to guide you, is the fastest way to learn to trust what you see.

Quick Answers

Is clairvoyance real?

We think so, and so do the thousands of people who use it every day without calling it that. You don’t have to believe in it to try it. Ground, ask a question and see what you notice.

Is clairvoyance the same as the third eye?

Close. Your third eye, or 6th chakra, is where clairvoyance sits. Opening your third eye is how you develop clairvoyance.

Can anyone become clairvoyant?

Yes. Everyone is born with clairvoyance. Some people use it more naturally than others, but with training anyone can learn to read energy.

Where to Start

Once you learn to read energy and see the truth of things, you can apply it to anything in your life and get clarity. That’s what our year-long Intuitive Training is built around: reading energy with clarity, neutrality and confidence, for yourself and others. Curious first?
