Properties

As an archetype, clairvoyants are powerful humans who are born with supernatural abilities. A clairvoyant is a person who has the supernatural ability to perceive events in someone’s life. They can gain information about an object, person, location, or physical event through extrasensory perception. Clairvoyant is a French word, which means “clear seeing.” Specifically, a clairvoyant sees images in their minds. These images seem like a movie. Images or moving pictures are not the only thing that is conjured up. Sounds or voices are also perceived. A clairvoyant relates images from the present, and does not predict the future.

They may often work with a psychic to interpret the images. The 18th century French aristocrat, The Marquis de Puysegur, was a clairvoyant. He clearly saw images in his mind’s eye concerning a person’s life. Clairvoyants can see spirits, energy fields, symbols and get visual premonitions. A few clairvoyants see things in their mind’s eye, and some can see with their physical eyes. These impressions are more easily perceived during meditation and in an alpha state.

Sometimes, clairvoyants are defined as people who can “see hidden things”. During recent years, due to their apparent capacity to gather extrasensory information, they are sometimes called upon in missing person cases to help law enforcement officials. Clairvoyants have been around a long time, though.

History suggests clairvoyants have developed in different cultures from the 1700s onwards. Ancient Hindu sacred texts document a group of clairvoyants who gained extrasensory perception through discipline and training. Also, Tibetan culture is renowned for its psychic practitioners. For example, the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government consult the Nechung Oracle, who is recognized as the state oracle.

Difference

A psychic and a clairvoyant are different but they are connected as well. A psychic or medium uses clairvoyance. And a clairvoyant uses psychic abilities; however, a clairvoyant visualizes present events and a psychic connects a past and present to predict a future. Anyone can be psychic or clairvoyant; however, these abilities must be nurtured. These individuals develop their gift and pay attention to their intuition. Most importantly, they give others peace of mind and clarity.

Being clairvoyant or psychic is the ability to really know something even though there’s no logical reason for why the users are so sure. This can be called a “gut feeling”. The users may feel a strong emotion out of nowhere and then a friend or family member contacts them to let then know something bad happened.
