Clairsentience is the psychic ability by which one feels, senses, or intuits his or her way through the world. It means “clear-feeling,” and is usually associated with the gut, as in, to follow your gut.
Rather than seeing or hearing metaphysical reality, clairsentients feel it.
A clairsentient may walk into a house, for example, and be able to immediately feel the presence of a ghost or spirit with them in the room. They cannot see it or communicate with it as a medium or a clairvoyant may be able to; however, they can sense for certain that they are not alone. The clairsentient may come to this knowing on an intuitive level only, but more often than not, his or her physical senses will play a role in the psychic discernment.
In the example of perceiving the ghost, a clairsentient may, for instance, literally feel sensations on or in the body such as tickling or tingling on the skin, a chill running down the spine, goosebumps arising, having their hair stand on end, etc. Another down-to-earth example of clairsentience that most of us have experienced at one time or another is that feeling of absolutely knowing when someone is staring at you from behind. You can just sense it. You may turn around, and sure enough, there is indeed someone with their eyes piercing right through you.
A Heavy Burden
Some clairsentients might regard their gift more as a curse. Because of their innate ability to feel things (other people’s pain being no exception), they are often sought out by those in distress who want to dump or vent out their frustrations on them. Making things more difficult, clairsentients often feel a misplaced duty to make others happy, whole, and well. While this is beautiful in theory, it is not realistic, nor is it their actual responsibility. One of the hardest things the clairsentient will ever learn is that they simply cannot sacrifice all of their energy for the benefit of others. Yes, service is good and many clairsentients are called to live lives dedicated to it, yet without proper boundaries and the commitment to care for oneself first (how can you be good for anybody else if you don’t?) they will find themselves unable to do much of anything for anybody, over time.
Not only are clairsentients sought out by people in need, they often find themselves stumbling upon and absorbing other people’s feelings without even knowing it. For example one minute they will feel fine and the next minute they are sad, or sick, or angry, or anxious. At first blush there is no discernible reason for this, however, when the clairsentient digs a little deeper they will usually find that they are feeling this because someone close to them is exuding the feeling as an energy, and they in turn are soaking it up. The bad news is this can be highly taxing to the clairsentient’s energy, and also damaging ultimately to the physical body.
For this reason it is incredibly important that clairsentients practice hyper-vigilant energetic hygiene. They must never forget to psychically shield, and always to ask themselves when feeling out of the ordinary: Does this even belong to me?
Far too often, the answer will be NO. When that is the case, release the intrusive energy with a blessing and resume the normal activity of your day. (Learning to shed needless or harmful energy will take practice, but is achievable over time.)
The Healers Of The World
Clairsentients often feel compelled to work in the healing field, for they are truly the healers of the world. They must embrace the idea that they are here for a higher purpose, and that they possess a unique ability that can help a great many people. They are compassionate individuals who can bring much light to the planet and ease the world’s suffering. They are often drawn to professions such as:
* Nurse * Counseling *Therapeutic Touch *Reiki *Animal Rescue
*Chakra Balancing *Social Work *Massage *Acupuncture
*Energetic Modification *Spiritual Healing *Advocacy/Activism
*Mediator *Teacher *Hospice Help *Intuitive Reader *Charity
The clairsentient must remember to seek employment that is in energetic alignment with love, light, and compassion. If they find themselves in a shallow or overly-corporate job that is not of real service to others, they will not last long and if they do, they will not be happy. Follow your heart and your gut — this is the mantra of those who can psychically feel.
Other Examples Of Clairsentience
- In a large crowd, or at a concert, or lecture hall; you may feel overwhelmed, dizzy, woozy, or sickened by all of the emotions surrounding you.
- Walking into a party and having a gut feeling of dread or elation, pointing you in the direction to either stay and enjoy the night, or hightail it out of there and go home.
- If you borrow an article of clothing from a friend that has been worn during a particularly traumatic — or on the other end of the spectrum, an overly joyous — occasion, you will be able to pick up on its corresponding energy.
- When holding an object that belongs to someone — such as a watch or other piece of jewelry — you may be able to feel or tap into the owner’s energy.
- Looking at a photograph of a person and sensing what kind of person they are and how they felt at the time the picture was taken.
Clairsentience can be used to help yourself as well as a great many others. It isn’t something meant to take over your life or make you miserable — it truly is a gift, and a beautiful one at that.

Oh Jeez… Not only I have clairaudience but I am also an Empath. That’s why I’m frequently in overload! But it’s a gift, and I have to learn how to use it right I guess… Love to you Crystal! <3
Love to you, too!
I’m learning so much from you through your YouTube videos and now your website, thank you!!
I went to a active Medium in 2013 for a year and found out I indeed have all that you teach about. It’s freeing to know why I’ve experienced so much weird stuff in the last 5 years and I only want more insight. Jesus came through in my past readings and and in my own automatic writing which I was given so much more then what I learned in church (which like you I can’t go back to) He has also shown Himself to me in physical form and as He put it, leaves me pieces of magic so we can touch, He’s so romantic and Blows me away every time. I would love to do a reading with you soon and hope to attend you class Yes, You’re a physic, just waiting on finances. thank you so much.
Yes, my married named is Bible and I’m of Jewish decent ~ He is fun stuff!!
I love all that you’re doing
It is going to kill me eventually- can you help?
I have be involved something like this. My true nature is that I am always happy and a clown. Without knowing it I tap into alot of people’s energy to the point when I call someone they were alreday thinking of me. I know there is more too this stuff but thank you for your youtube videos. There is more I would like to discuss off from here. Just a few questions that will help me gain clarity.
Thank you for watching my videos! I will be making many more.
There is absolutely more to this world than we have been told. We were all born with spiritual gifts, it’s just that some of us turned those gifts off. The good news is that they can be turned on again! <3
I’m not sure if I’m an empath… I do channel feelings but not everyone’s. For example, last week I felt sadness which I knew wasn’t mine, and got a gut feeling that I had to call my sister… I did and she was crying right at that moment. This happens to me a lot, but generally with people I’m close to (thankfully it happens with happy emotions as well). I do feel overwhelmed in crowds, I can’t go to church without feeling dizzy and nauseous, specially funerals.
I did have a horrible experience about 10 years ago, and I don’t know if it may have to do with this… I had just moved into a new house with my family, and I could feel an odd presence, and heard footsteps at night. I talked to my mom about it, and she told me she had also felt and dreamt about it, and after meditating near the place we felt it, she knew it was a young boy. We put holy water marking on all the door frames to protect ourselves.
That night I felt the footsteps again, but this time they headed towards my room. My door was closed and he ran into it, unable to pass (I saw and heard the door move, my dog was in the room with me and imidiately started growling at the door). The ghost-boy got frustrated and started scratching my door, wanting to come in. Here it got weird: I felt all his emotions and knew things about him that I shouldn’t know, he was so strong that it was hard keeping him out of my mind, as if I was being mentally raped. I felt anger, frustration, sadness and tried through the night to keep him out of my mind, he interrupted all my thoughts overpowering them with his (while scratching my door). Finally morning came and my mother opened the door of her room… Here I felt fear, and realized that the boy was afraid of my mother, he was afraid of adults and saw me as a child. He ran away from my door towards the annex where he usually stayed. I was exhausted, and slept in my mom’s room until professionals came to clean the house.
That was a strong spirit, and one that was also over-stepping. However, he was a child and it sounds like he was having a tantrum of sorts.
What you describe — especially the “mind rape” — is indicative of mediumship, most certainly. As children we all have this kind of access; most people don’t go on to work on and develop it, however.
This actually makes alot of sense to me now. As long as I can remember I’ve always been able to “feel” or sense the feelings, and presence of others, in this world an other worldly. Often times I can’t control if I can feel other people’s emotions, or even know if these emotions are actually mine that I’m feeling. I always have people asking me how I know that something was wrong or fixing to happen, and I never really gave a clear answer because I didn’t even know myself. I’ve always toyed with the idea of being an Empath, and being a Psychic (I also had someone claim that I am psychic before). I still have alot to learn about myself, and my abilities. Just last night I had a gut feeling about mid-afternoon and around early evening it turned out that my younger brother had gotten into trouble for his grades, and problems at school. Reading this made me realize what my feelings were about, and I’m going to learn more and more thanks to you!
I also watch your Youtube channel, and thank you for all the informational videos!
You’re so very welcome! Thank you for sharing!
