Clairvoyance is the ability to “see” the future, but true clairvoyance does not require crystal balls and elaborate fortune telling rituals. Before developing your clairvoyance, work on developing your natural intuitive abilities. Once these have been fine-tuned, exercise your mind's ability to tap into the sights, sounds, feelings, and overall energy flowing around you. Keep reading to learn more about the process.

    Work on your indirect intuition. Indirect intuition, also called symbolic intuition, focuses on the mind's natural ability to pick up on things of key importance by developing your ability to see in and interpret mental symbols.

    • Stay away from a broad question like, "Will I enjoy my birthday this year?" In this instance, think about what you actually want your birthday to be like, and ask yourself a more specific question like, "Will any of my friends or family take me out to do something special for my birthday this year?"

    Open your third eye. After asking your question, breathe deeply three times. Focus on the area between your eyes. This spot is a chakra known as a "third eye," which psychics claim to be responsible for visual clairvoyance abilities.
    • Continue breathing while fixing your attention on this area. Vividly imagine an illuminated horizontal oval shape in the center of your forehead. This is your "third eye." Ask it to open, repeating the request until it does and you feel a warm feeling rush through your body.

    • Clairvoyant images will usually come as a picture inside your mind's eye, a picture seen outside of the mind's eye, a movie inside your head, or a movie outside your head.
    • If you cannot figure out what your clairvoyant images mean, ask aloud or silently, "What do these pictures mean?"

    • Clairaudience is the ability to "hear" psychic energy.
    • Clairsentience is the ability to "feel" energy. Common forms of clairsentience include gut feelings and empathy.
    • Claircognizance is the ability to "know" things without being told. If you ever had a grandmother or aunt who knew whenever anyone was sick at your house without being told about it first, she would have possessed claircognizant abilities.

  • Question
    Isn't clairvoyance against the teachings of the church?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Assuming you mean Christianity, it depends on which church you go to because every church interprets teachings of the Bible differently, but if you go straight to the source you will see that religious prophets were known for clairvoyant messages. The book of Revelations was the result of a clairvoyant experience. The truth is that the more you open to the Divine, the more you open up to these types of messages and gifts anyway.
  • Question
    Do I have to work with a medium, or can I do it on my own?

      Article SummaryX

      To become clairvoyant, start by developing your natural intuition and perception. Try sitting in a quiet, comfortable spot and focusing on your breath until your body relaxes. Think about a situation you’d like insight on and focus on it for several minutes. Then, ask yourself what's going to happen in the near future related to the issue. You may need to do this several times, but eventually your intuition should kick in and give you guidance. Another way to develop your intuition is to pay closer attention to your dreams. Keep a pad and pencil near your bed and ask yourself a question or focus on a situation that you need help with. Repeat this question or scenario in your mind while you fall asleep. When you wake up, write down anything you dreamed about. If you can’t recall your dreams, write or draw whatever enters your mind. Repeat this until you get an answer to your situation or question. To learn how to open your third eye as you develop your clairvoyance, keep reading!
