Clairsentience is a form of psychic intuition. The prefix “clair”, means “clear”, and the suffix “sentience”, means “feeling”. The word reflects the psychic’s ability to hone in on the on the energy of otherworldly realms. Clairsentients sense, rather than think through the information they receive. They are particularly attuned to their intuitive, or what people call “gut feelings”. They can sense when something of import is about to occur, when someone is hurt, sick or passed from this life. Often they sense the positive or negative energies given off from other people.
Strong smells or tastes accompany the impressions received by a clairsentient. When there is a disturbance in the crust of the earth, or the oceans, a clairsentient can experience a variety of symptoms. Before a dramatic event, a clairsentient can feel a nervous excitement, feelings of unease or dread or a sinking or sick feeling in their stomach. During a strong earthquake, no matter where it is in the world, the clairsentient can feel off centered and dizzy. They may literally have to grip a piece of furniture or a wall to keep from falling.
Many clairsentients learn to hide their sensitivities from others. The odd sensations they feel, but most others don’t, may be misinterpreted as hypochondria or a type of hysteria. Like the ancient seer of legend, Cassandra, they are often not to taken seriously by other people.
Because of their broad breadth of vision, they can gather information that other people can. Through extending their senses through psychometry they can gather information from touching objects, especially from the personal possessions of others. They can see the life, traumas and events of a person through touching their items. This is the sense that is most often used by police departments in trying to solve violent crimes. Sometimes these impressions manifest as vision that may quickly evaporate.
Clairsentients often work as life-coaches and reiki masters.
History of Clairsentient Psychics
Though psychics have been with us since the beginning of human existence, the awareness and naming of different psychic abilities seem to have started in the modern era. The start of the Spiritualist Movement in the middle nineteenth century facilitated the awareness of different psychic gifts. During the years of the later nineteenth century and the first couple decades of the twentieth there was much experimentation with paranormal phenomenon. During this time, psychics explored communication with those beyond the veil, learned about and started working with spirit guides, and developed different skills in working with psychic energies. However, it wasn’t until the New Age Movement of the Seventies and Eighties when different psychic gifts were defined, among them clairsentience. Though it is difficult to find a single point of reference for this phenomenon, clairsentience was defined as a separate gift from other forms of psychic abilities.
While we all know we have a physical body, in truth, we have other energy forms, subtle bodies that interact with our flesh bodies. These bodies are the emotional body, the mental body and the spirit body. It is interaction with these etheric bodies that differentiate us from the non-sentient species that share our planet with us. These etheric bodies, while they intersect with our physical bodies, exist in non-physical dimensions, where the knowledge of the Universe exists without limits. This is why we often hear that we are all psychic. Clairsentient psychics are particularly attuned to the energies of these etheric bodies.
Some sources incorrectly identify a clairsentient as someone who communicates solely with spirits. While a clairsentient may communicate with a discarnate intelligence, their far-flung abilities allow them to reach out and draw in information from planes of existence that most humans don’t even imagine.
For some reason, clairsentient work is more draining than other types of psychic work, leading to speculation that this ability is utilized differently in the brain than other types of psychic abilities.
At times it seems that people with a direct pipeline beyond the veil of our earthly existence have more answers than we do. A clairsentient psychic can be helpful in several ways. First, a clairsentient can feel the issues that trouble you most, helping you clarify the issues that need your attention. For instance, you may be troubled by the actions of a spouse, but in working with the clairsentient, he or she may point out an incident from the past that mirrors your spouse’s behavior. Or the clairsentience may pick up on some disturbing energies in your home that need to be cleared. These are just examples as the wide-ranging usefulness of the clairsentient’s abilities that can help you with a variety of issues.

I’m clairesentient, I keeping attacked how to I stop the attacks or turn
Off the clairesentence? Thanks.
Hey Elaine, we don’t know what’s happening with those attacks, but to answer your question on how to manage or “turn off” your clairsentience, you can follow this advice from Tana Hoy.
Hi I’m supposed to have clairsentience but I haven’t sensed anything since August 2009.Please can you help me in any way? The first 3 feelings were about my paternal grandfather dying, my mom passing, my maternal grandma dying in the hospital, and the last one was about my wallet being stolen.Is there any way I can get my clairsentience back at all? I feel lost without it.
Have you tried meditation? Whatever kind you practice, basically it’s a way for you to listen to your body and mind and see where you put those reins you used to hold on your clairsentient ability. Either that, or you may find out through spontaneous illumination why you’re not having those moments for now. We wish you the best on your journey!

Hi. I have lots of clairvoyant visions and I hear a lot of voices, but my most prominent medium ability is something that I have read is a part of clairsentience. I've read the description above and it reads sort of like my understanding of an empath. That description applies to me to some extent, as does descriptions that I've found on empaths but neither hugely apply to me.
What I have going on is constant communication with spirits through literal physical sensations in my body that all started happening about a year and a half ago. They occur about 3-10 times a minute. I've read that some mediums, particularly clairsentients are able to physically experience spirits and/ or spirit realms. They telepathically experience us and respond with physical sensations. All I could find though was someone saying that some clairsentients feel taps on the shoulder and stuff but what I have going on is a lot more advanced than that. My right thumb just tingled (spirit giving me a thumbs up) I just felt my heart being cupped (spirit expressing love) Crying now.
I feel myself being touched and kissed, I feel muscle spasms, tingles, stings, pin pricks and sometimes I feel a tear rolling from an eye down my cheek. I have associated meanings for almost everything based on what seems the most obvious. My conversations with spirits are extraordinary, especially now that I've refined what my physical sensations mean and I have a better understanding of spirits.
I'm not looking for advice on what the spirits are trying to say. I don't want to disrupt the work they've put into me by having my outlooks coloured. I don't think anyone else should either for the same reasons. Some of my interpretations are pretty bleak but I think thats how it has to be to get the most out of this in the future. I don't really wanna colour other peoples opinions for the sake of they're own paths and the spirits interacting with them.
I want to know if there's some other name for this. I thought it was a part of Clairsentience but there's no mention of it above and its really different from that. If it should be called anything keeping in line with the other names for medium abilities it should really be called 'Clairtoucher' (French for 'Clear Touch')
I was going to ask how many people on the planet have this ability but since then I've been told by the spirit or spirits interacting with me this way don't want to know. I think its important that its preserved but it should remain mysterious. So do they.
I don't really have any other questions. I just want to make other clairsentients aware that if you are physically sensing the things that I am sensing then you should read into it as I have and begin constructing your own unique interpretations of every physical sensation and get better at understanding what they mean by chains of events (They just did something really funny but they don't want me to tell you what it was and now they're laughing)
Have fun
