In Power of the Soul, John Holland explains these fascinating intuitive/psychic gifts. Do you some of these abilities? Read on and find out!

Clairsentience or Clear Feeling:  This is an inner sense of “knowing”. Those hunches you have or ability to sense emotional states in other people, even when they have a smile on their face and pretend they are doing fine.

Here are some indicators of being Clairsentient:You are the person that people go to when they need to get something off their chest. Your feelings get hurt easily. When you are driving, you instinctively sense when you should take a different turn, then find out later that you would have encountered a terrible traffic jam had you taken the original one. When meeting someone, you can tell what type of mood they are in, even if they are displaying an opposite one. Strangers often come up to you and ask you questions. If you are Clairsentience, you need to feel things physically….you are a big hugger, you like making eye contact and soul connection. A benefit of this gift is that you can understand people on a deep intuitive level.

Clairsentience is fairly easy to develop and access. Here’s how:
*Whenever you need to make an important life decision, take a deep breath and focus on your solar plexus (this is the Clairsentience conduit) by gently placing your hands over it. Imagine a gorgeous bright yellow light covering the solar plexus. Now ask any question. How do I feel about this choice? How do I feel about this person or situation? Wait for an image or an emotion to come up. What do you feel or see? There is an answer for you there somewhere. You can try this regarding someone else. For example, if a friend appears upset but you don’t know why, go to your conduit and ask to feel what he or she is really feeling. Can you step into their situation and know what is happening with them? Perhaps you will be able to offer some insight or a listening ear.
Clairvoyance or Clear Seeing: This is an inner sense of “seeing”. You receive pictures, images, symbols or photos. This is better known as “the third eye”.

Here are some indicators of being Clairvoyant: You can look at someone and know they are coming down with an illness, even though they appear quite healthy.You have the ability to tell what someone you’ve never met looks like while talking with them on the phone.You experience, intense, vivid and memorable dreams.You are the kind of person who doesn’t wear a watch because you can usually visualize the time.You can feel the Chi energy in the room and know where to place furniture without having to consult a Feng Shui book.You are inclined to spend time in wide, well lit, open spaces.

Perhaps you can identify with a few but not all of these statements. It is possible to develop it more if you’d like. Try these techniques:
 *Use meditation tapes that take you on a journey into your mind’s eye and see where you go.
*Spend time outside and be totally immersed in your surroundings…the sights, sounds, tastes of what’s around you in the environment. Practice observing closely….the detail and energy of life.
*When you are on the phone with someone, close your eyes and really listen with your intuition to see if any colors or images come up.
*Try to guess the color and suit of playing cards by flipping one over at a time and picturing what it is.

Clairaudience or Clear Hearing: This is the sense of inner, “hearing”. This gift comes from the throat chakra. It is hearing songs, rhymes, melodies, names and dates.  People who have this ability hear in two ways, subjectively and objectively.
Subjectively is when the hearing is inside your mind. While objectively is when the hearing is outside your mind.

Here are some indicators of being Clairaudient:You think inside your head, instead of out loud.You can usually tell when someone isn’t telling the truth.You are attracted to loud places.You enjoy having music playing in the background while you are working.You hear what others are saying.

To build on your current Clairaudient talents or to listen to the inner voice that could improve your life, try these suggestions:

*First of all figure out the difference between your own mind’s “chatter” and what could be psychic data and messages coming in, these should be positive and not negative. Ask yourself, is this information coming to me or from me? This is a very important differentiation.

*Hone your inner whisper by going somewhere, perhaps to a park or a restaurant and sit alone. Close your eyes and begin listening to the sounds around you. What do you hear? Pay close attention. Focus and patiently wait and see if you hear vital information. You are listening for things that would help you are someone else.
