Just How Real Are Psychics And Clairvoyants?

By Mandy Spacek

Psychics are people who have the special power of perceiving certain things that are otherwise not perceptible through the five senses that a normal person has. That is, a psychic can see, perceive or know things that are hidden or happening at a long distance away.

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.

Hence, Clairvoyants are people who have the psychic power of seeing things which are hidden from the normal senses. Thus, a person having a vision of the someone's past or future, or of someone who is a long distance away, etc, are all types of common clairvoyant experiences. The term clairvoyant means 'clear' 'viewing'.

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.

Again, clairvoyants can be differentiated from psychics having the abilities of retro-cognition and precognition. While retro-cognition involves knowing about another's past, precognitions refers to foreseeing the future. In both these instances, the psychics 'know' the past or the future and they don't necessarily 'see' it. If a person has vision about the future and sees the events, only then he can be called a clairvoyant.

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.

It can be concluded that be it a clairvoyant or another type of psychic, it is someone who has the gift of sixth sense, a rare special power that the individual has been blessed with. One should always consider it as a privilege and use it for helping other fellow human beings.
