Are You Psychic?

Well, Yes... Of Course You Are!

Synthography by Schematic Etheria

When the average person thinks of a psychic they're usually imagining little Haley Joel Osment seeing dead people. Rarely do they consider the possibility that they, too, can perceive beyond the ordinary.

But the great news is, we each have a special connection to our senses that borders on the fantastic.

For some of us, just seeing another person cry is enough to cause us to tear up: this very special gift is called clairempathy. For others, daydreaming is a deeply visceral experience so engrossing that it’s like watching a movie in the mind — a tell-tale sign of clairvoyance.

And while some people are exceptionally sensitive to the supernatural, the truth is, with practice we can all deepen our connection to the world around us.

So if you’re curious to find out if you might be a super spooky kid, consider taking the quizzes below…

Clairvoyance

Saying a clairvoyant has an active imagination is an understatement. These folks think in technicolor and fantasize almost constantly. Blessed with the gift of second sight, clairvoyants get flashes of information in the form of images in the mind; and these images form a rich tapestry of symbols that help them navigate the psyche with ease.

Proficient clairvoyants see auras, ethereal beings, and occasionally astral project; expert clairvoyants have visions that foretell future events.

So if you’re a visually-oriented person, you may have an increased capacity to develop this extrasensory skill.

So how do you know if you’re a seer? Well if you answer “yes” to 2 out of 3 of these questions, you just might be…

• Is your imagination cinematic? Do you dream vividly?

• Have you ever experienced déjà vu or dreamt of something that later came to pass?

• If asked to picture a purple apple in your mind, could you do this easily?

Clairaudience

Clairaudience, or clear hearing, is the ability to retrieve psychic information through sound. This is probably the most controversial skill as it is often associated with hearing voices from other realms.

Clairaudience emanates from the throat chakra, and as a result, it affects a person’s ability to communicate telepathically. Auditory psychics transmit and receive messages through their inner-ear; and it is not, at all, uncommon for these folks to tap into frequencies others can’t perceive.

Deeply moved by the power of the word, these beautiful souls tend to be well-spoken, well-read, and quite persuasive. Even if they’re naturally shy, their gentle ways speak volumes and touch hearts effortlessly.

Is ultrasonic hearing your superpower? Well, if you answer “yes” to 2 of these questions, perhaps it is…

• Are you a devoted fan of music or literature? Are you a musician, vocalist, writer, or avid reader?

• Do you experience ringing, zapping, popping or buzzing in your ears that intensifies the more you focus on it?

• Do you have keen hearing? Can you perceive faint sounds with clarity?

Clairempathy

Clairempaths have an otherworldly ability to sense, predict — and sometimes — affect change in the emotions of others: this skill also helps them tap into the inner-lives of animals and spirit beings.

But it must be said that *empathy and clairempathy are not the same*. Empaths are folks who feel the emotions of others and confuse those emotions for their own: this can leave them feeling overwhelmed and burned out.

Clairempaths, on the other hand, access the emotions of others while maintaining the integrity of their own energy field. Firmly seated on the throne of their own sovereignty, they respect the boundaries of self and other, clearly discerning which of the emotions they feel belong to them, and which do not.

Think you might be clairempathic? Take the quiz below:

• Do you prioritize compassion towards yourself just as much as you value compassion towards others?

• When in the presence of someone who feels sad, can you empathize with them without being consumed by their sorrow?

• Can you accurately predict the emotional responses of others?

Claircognizance

Claircognizants simply know, without logical explanation, the true nature of things. They move through the world with certainty, instantly able to discern fact from falsity. This clear, inner-knowing is not accompanied by any particular sight or sound as is the case with the aforementioned clairs.

It is as if divine wisdom downloads information directly into their consciousness, granting them perfect awareness and unfaltering surety.

When people speak to a clear-knowing psychic, their words ring true or ping false instantly.

Think you might have this gift? Well, if you answer “yes” to at least 2 of these questions, you’re on the right track…

• Have you ever known (without really being sure why) that someone was lying to you?

• Do you have killer instincts that rarely lead you astray?

• Have you ever known something was going to happen in advance without being given any special clues or info?

Clairalience

Also called clairolfaction, this magical power is linked to your sense of smell. People with this skill create complex scent-profiles of the people they know, the foods they eat, and the places they frequent. For these sensitive souls, emotions, memories, and smells are inextricably linked.

Are you curious to find out if you might be clairalient? You know the drill…

• If I asked you to imagine the smell of rain on concrete or freshly cut grass, would this make a strong impression on you?

• When you sit down to eat a meal, do you take time to inhale the flavors before tasting the food?

• Do perfumes and essential oils affect your mood and cognition?

Clairgustance

Clairgustance gives you the power to tune into Spirit through your sense of taste.

People with this rare gift have a refined palate: when they eat, they not only perceive each ingredient in their food, they can even glean information about the person who prepared it. This is the idea behind soul food — when a meal is made with love, the feelings of the chef are cooked into the dish: they, in fact, become palpable.

Are you a psychic foodie? Give these questions a go to find out…

• Are you an emotional eater/non-eater? That is, does your mental state impact your appetite?

• Are you a super-taster? Can you easily perceive even the faintest hints of salt or sugar in foods?

• Does the texture of food matter more to you than the taste of it?

Clairsentience and Clairtangency

Clairsentience is divine insight you can feel. It grants you the ability to receive signals through your body.

Keenly in tune with the rhythms of the physical world, these delicate souls register powerful emotions, thoughts, and memories somatically.

Clairtangency, on the other hand, is a finer, more concentrated sensitivity. Whereas clairsentience involves feelings that pulse through your entire being, clairtangency focuses sensation in the hands.

This psychic skill, also known as psychometry, grants you discernment through the sense of touch. Psychometrists can ascertain information about an object by simply picking it up and holding it.

Do you have a tendency to feel your way through life? Take the quiz below:

• Is physical affection your love language?

• Do you choose your clothing based on the way it feels instead of the way it looks?

• When you experience a strong emotion, do you feel it in your body? For example, if anxious, do you develop sweaty palms or get butterflies in your stomach?

Psychic abilities are far more common than you might think: and you, my dear, are far more powerful than you assume!

So which of these psychic gifts is strongest for you? I’d love to hear your test results in the comment section!
