There is nothing supernatural or paranormal about using the primitive instinct called intuition. In fact, it’s very normal and very natural to glean as much information as possible about a situation before making a qualified decision.
Just as we have the 5 external senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling and smelling, we also have equivalent internal senses.
External senses are used to gather information from our physical reality while internal senses are used to gather information from our energetic reality.
These internal senses are often referred to as The Five Clairs:
Think of a time when you could feel the tension as you walked into a room. This is a common occurrence that many have experienced and in this example the tension didn’t physically alter your body – you perceived the energetic tension through your internal senses. You received valid information from your surroundings through clairsentience.
- Clairvoyance – clear vision
- Clairaudience – clear audio
- Clairgustance – clear tasting
- Clairsentience – clear sensing
- Clairailience – clear smelling
Or think of a time when the image of a friend popped into your head right before they phoned you. This is your clairvoyance at work.
If you take a moment to reflect, you may realize that you have experienced the Five Clairs in your normal, natural, everyday life.
This information does not come through external sources, it comes from within, from the mind, the psyche. These perceptions are what produce psychic information.
During a psychic reading I apply my internal senses to retrieve information on your behalf. In a typical reading I may see, smell, taste, touch and feel information. For example I may taste cigarettes, feel pain in a particular part of my body, see an image flash through my mind, hear a name spoken in my right ear, or smell a fragrance. It is then my job to translate these perceptions into words and that is what creates the psychic reading.
Now that you have a greater understanding about the work of a psychic, we’ll explore the work of a medium. All mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums. I am what’s known as a Psychic Medium.
A medium is simply a person in the middle between two other people; one happens to be alive and the other happens to be dead. Remember, it’s very normal and natural to die. It’s also quite normal for loved ones to want to communicate with those left behind. Take a moment to think about it, if you happened to be ‘dead’ right now, is there a person you’d like to communicate with? Most likely there is. Love is love and it transcends the bounds of the physical realm.
As a medium, I receive information through my internal senses from those on the other side. They impress upon my psyche thoughts, feelings, and perceptions through the use of the Five Clairs. Again, it is my job to translate those impressions into words, and that is what creates the spirit communication.
As with any form of translation, mistakes do occur. Like I say, intuition is always right but my interpretation is not. This is why even the best psychics may have an approximate 85% accuracy rate. Although we may have heightened senses, we also have preexisting life experiences that alter our perceptions, belief systems that may subconsciously edit information or we could be functioning with unknown biases.
During a typical session with me, it is quite common to retrieve a blend of information through psychic channels as well as through mediumship. Quite often your loved ones on the other side may even help to provide guidance about your current reality or offer solutions to a quandary. (Just a side note, pets are loved ones too and frequently participate in a session whether they are living or deceased.)
As for myself, I am my own first client. I frequently use these abilities to gain information about my life and how best to proceed. I pray daily, I meditate, I use hypnosis, and I love God. I ask for guidance and work diligently to serve others to the best of my abilities. This is not just my work, it is my life.
Thank you for taking the time to explore these topics. I appreciate your interest in my services and encourage you to develop your own intuition. Just imagine how different life could be if you would simply learn how to use these natural and normal abilities.
Be well,
