Yoga and Meditation

If you are a person who can perceive what another person is thinking, or may have strong negative gut feelings or intuition working before going somewhere which later turns out to be right or may be you have accurate visions about your sister being sick even when she is thousands of miles away, then you are a psychic. In simpler terms, psychics are those who have a sixth sense and can perceive things which are otherwise hidden from the normal human senses.

Assuming that you are that individual from above who has visions about your near and dear ones who stay thousands of mile away or you can see the colour of the aura emanating from an individual and then have visions about his/her future, you can be safely termed as an clairvoyant.

Thus clairvoyants are people who have the psychic power to ’see’ things which otherwise cannot be seen by other people with the normal human sense of sight. Originating from the word ‘Clair voyance’ or ‘clear viewing’, clairvoyants have an extra sensory perception that results in them seeing visions of another individual’s personal aspects or his/her events in the past or future.

It can then be said that clairvoyants happen to be a subset of psychics but not vice versa. That is, all clairvoyants are said to possess psychic abilities but all psychics are not clairvoyants. In the usual parlance, the term clairvoyant is many a time carelessly used to refer to psychics as a whole. But the truth remains that apart from clairvoyants, there are numerous other types of psychics that are found all over the world.

Telepathy is also one of the most common psychic powers witnessed in the world and something which clairvoyance is confused with. According to parapsychology, which is the science that studies the presence and causes of psychic powers, clairvoyants are involved in direct and immediate information transfer with another external source whereas telepathy involves reading another person’s thoughts and hence involves information transfer from another individual’s mind.

In contrasting clairvoyants with psychics that have the ability to predict someone’s past and future, it may be said that if the person having these special abilities of retro-cognition and precognition, actually has visions about them, then they are of course clairvoyants. But, if they perceive or come to ‘know’ these without actually seeing then they cannot be termed clairvoyants.

Moreover, clairvoyants are different from mediums. Mediums are those psychics who have the ability to communicate with spirits. This is generally done through any of the four channels of trance, healing, physical and Clairsensing. In the first case the medium communicates with the spirit while in a trance while in case of healing, the medium receives health benefits from an external and higher source. Physical mediumship on the other hand involves participation in activities such as turntables, etc. Clairsensing is the only channel where clairvoyants can function. Clairsensing typically involves seeing spirits or hearing them through clairvoyance or clairaudience respectively.

As a conclusion it can be stated that what all psychics and clairvoyants have in common is that of a special power, a gift of the sixth sense which other people do not possess. Many a times, psychics think of these abilities as a curse which prevents them from living normal lives. But one should always remember that these powers are gifted to only a chosen few amongst millions, hence it should be considered a blessing and used for the benefit of others.
