Let’s Clair Things Up
Let’s talk about the Clairs.
No, not Claire from work. Not Claire with the crystals. I mean the Clairs, the ways your intuition shows up.
Most people have no idea they’re already using them. I see it every day. Most blow it off. Why? Because it’s natural. Hint. Hint. You’re built for intuition. And you just thought you were a good guesser, didn’t you?
The Clairs are short for clair (French for “clear”) + a sense. They're the routes your intuition uses to send you information. And before you roll your eyes, I’m not talking about dramatic supernatural moments. I’m talking about everyday moments in most aspects of your life. I am talking about gut feelings and weird “coincidences” you’ve probably had your whole life.
Let me break them down:
Clairvoyance – Clear Seeing
You see pictures, symbols, flashes, or scenes in your mind. It may not be like watching a movie on Netflix. It’s more like a mental image that pops in or things you see out of the corner of your eye. It feels like your mind, daydreaming, or your imagination, but then something weird happens. What you envisioned comes to be. An image of someone pops into your mind you haven’t seen in years, and then you get a phone call about them. Oops. Magic.
Clairaudience – Clear Hearing
Hearing messages that only you can hear? No, you’re not losing it. That voice in your head giving you the right answer or that song on repeat that weirdly matches your life? That’s intuition. Sometimes it’s a full sentence. Sometimes it’s just one word. Sometimes it’s a voiceless voice, and sometimes it sounds like your own voice, but way smarter. This sense is also a bullshit detector. You can hear what is not being said. A human lie detector. Oops. Magic.
Clairsentience – Clear Feeling
This is the “I don’t know why but this place feels off” sense. The ‘I can feel it in my bones’ sense. The pull in your stomach or the light in your chest are messages. You might be thinking of your mom who passed and feel her sitting next to you or touching your hand. Or when you walk into a room and feel the tension without anyone saying a word. Your body is basically a tuning fork. You might feel other people’s emotions, physical symptoms, or just get a strong gut nudge. Oops. Magic.
Claircognizance – Clear Knowing
You just know stuff. No logic. No evidence. You don’t know why you know, but, boy do you know. You open your mouth and things come out that you couldn’t have Googled. You know things about people and places that you just can’t explain. Again. It’s annoying how often this one gets brushed off, especially by people who think they’re just “good at reading people.” or a lucky guesser. Oops. Magic.
Clairgustance – Clear Tasting
Can you taste a message? Yes, you can. I see it in my intuition test videos on social media. When the items in the video are food, most people taste the answer. Here. Try it out yourself. (Intuition Build) You might randomly taste cherry pie when thinking of your dad, who used to bake it. Or you suddenly taste grilled cheese while working, then your coworker walks in holding one. Or get a metallic taste when something feels off. It’s not just in your head. Your energy is reading the room through your taste buds. Oops. Magic.
Clairalience – Clear Smelling
Ever smell your grandma’s perfume when no one’s around? Or get a strong whiff of cigarette smoke or flowers with no obvious source? The smell reminds you of someone or an emotional message. Maybe something stinks that you can’t find, only to learn later that people in the household are dealing with stressful events. Physical illness and stressful states can have a smell. Remember the intuition test videos with food? Some folks could smell the answer too. Even those who loss their sense of smell from covid. That’s clairalience. Spirit or energy can make its way through your nose. It’s weirdly specific and often emotional. Oops. Magic.
You don’t have to pick just one. Most people have a mix. And the more you pay attention, the louder they get.
Start noticing:
That random image you saw in your mind
That song that plays on repeat in your head
That goosebump feeling out of nowhere
That moment you knew to call your best friend
That weird taste in your mouth
That smell that has no source
These aren't accidents. They're data.
So maybe you’re not just lucky or overreacting or making it up. Maybe you’re intuitive. And maybe the Clairs have been trying to get your attention all along.
