- What is clairsentience?
This particular "spidy sense" or "sixth sense" is a way of picking up on feelings or smells relating to an environment, person, place, or thing. For some it manifests as a type of physical "empathy" in which a clairsentient with actually feel the physical pain of the person they are 'reading' - most of the time it could be completely involuntary (IE- I am standing in line at the grocery store and feel intense pain like my leg is broken, and then notice that the man in back of me in line is wearing a partial cast on one leg, and upon chatting with him I come to find out that he just broke his leg) By many, it is considered a form of impressional mediumship. It is a form of telling the physical makeup, health condition, personality and the character traits of a spirit entity while it was on the earth. Some consider it to be a feeling or sense that the medium or seance group experience. Having a tingling sensation on the skin, face, or hands, or having the hair on the back of your neck stand up is one type of clairsentience. This power of what is clairsentience is manifested in two different ways: sense extension and sense projection. A psychic child, for example may "hear" his mother while she is visiting with a neighbor or a psychic person might just know about someone hiding where they can't see them, but they just have a paranormal sense that they are there. This is often confused with ESP, but this sixth sense uses the faculties of the other five senses to process the psychic information they receive.
Sense projection is the ability to project the senses very far away from the psychics body. To do this the psychic must be very familiar with a certain location or know that person or object very well. Once the senses of a psychic are projected to a certain location, she can sense things as if she or he were actually at the location. With practice comes a higher degree of success and clarity of sensation and control over the sensations.
