Discovering the Clairs: Your Intuitive Senses Explained
Share
Ever wonder how intuition really works? Or how some people just “know” things? Let’s talk about the Clairs—the intuitive senses that connect us to deeper knowing, Spirit, and our soul’s guidance.
At Lady Lighthouse, we believe intuition isn’t reserved for a gifted few—it’s something we all have. Think of the Clairs as your soul's language, helping you receive insight, guidance, and Love from Source, your Spirit Team, and your Higher Self.
This guide is for the curious and open-hearted—especially if you’re just starting to explore your spiritual gifts or feeling a nudge to better understand your inner world.
What Are the Clairs?
The term “Clairs” comes from the French word for “clear.” Each Clair represents a different way we receive intuitive information—like different spiritual senses. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ones:
🧠 Claircognizance – Clear Knowing
You just know something is true without evidence. Maybe you’ve had a strong gut instinct or an idea pop into your head fully formed. That’s Claircognizance.
👂 Clairaudience – Clear Hearing
You may hear guidance in your mind, like a voice that’s not yours but feels loving and wise. Some hear messages, music, or phrases during meditation or dreams.
👁️ Clairvoyance – Clear Seeing
This isn’t always about seeing spirits with your physical eyes. Clairvoyants often “see” mental images, visions, colors, or symbols that hold spiritual meaning.
❤️ Clairsentience – Clear Feeling
This is the ability to feel energy, emotions, or sensations that aren’t yours. You may walk into a room and instantly sense tension or peace. Empaths often have this Clair strongly activated.
👃 Clairalience – Clear Smelling
Ever smell perfume, smoke, or flowers with no physical source? This psychic sense often shows up during spiritual encounters or when a Spirit is near.
👅 Clairgustance – Clear Tasting
This is rare but real—suddenly tasting a favorite food of a loved one who’s passed, or tasting something symbolic of a message from Spirit.
✨ Clairintellectus – Clear Understanding
This Clair brings divine insight during reading, writing, or contemplation. It feels like a direct download of wisdom or a burst of clarity out of nowhere.
Why Do the Clairs Matter?
Understanding your strongest Clair(s) helps you:
-
Trust your inner voice and intuition
-
Deepen your spiritual practice
-
Better serve your community or clients
-
Feel more confident in your unique gifts
You might have one Clair that’s dominant—or a few that work together. The more you listen and practice, the clearer they become.
How to Strengthen Your Clairs
-
Ground yourself daily – A grounded body creates a safe container for intuitive messages.
-
Practice listening – In meditation, journaling, or even silence, start noticing what comes through.
-
Play with your senses – Ask questions, observe your responses, and don’t force the answer. Let it arise.
-
Set energetic boundaries – Protecting your energy helps you tune in with clarity and love. (Check out the Boundary Book™️ if you need help here!)
-
Trust and take notes – Keep a Clair journal and track what’s real for you.
