We’ve all had moments of “just knowing” something without explanation. These insights represent our innate psychic gifts at work. But what exactly are these abilities, and how can we develop them further?

Let’s break down the main “extra senses” commonly referred to as the sixth sense. In reality, there are several senses that extend beyond our typical five senses.

Clairvoyance relates to sight through inner visions, dreams, and intuition around symbols. You can keep a dream journal to recognize your personal dream language and how your soul communicates.

Clairaudience taps into hearing subtle sounds like music or messages delivered as thoughts without voices. Some experience this during meditation.

Clairgustance involves taste and smell. You may suddenly detect aromas that feel meaningful, like catching whiffs of a loved one who has passed.

Clairsentience allows empathy and feeling others’ emotions or ailments in your own body, without taking them on as your own.

Claircognizance is intuition – knowing something without rational explanation, often impartially without emotion attached.

Develop your abilities through meditation, energy work, and being open to “coincidences.” Pay attention to dreams, smells, feelings and hunches that feel significant.

These subtle senses are natural talents. By normalizing psychic gifts and cultivation, we can unlock new levels of self-awareness and compassionate insight.
