Know Your Clairs to Access Your Intuition

(Curious which intuitive gift comes most naturally to you? A free quiz is included below to help you discover your strongest clair.)

At some point on your spiritual journey, you realize intuition isn’t something you try to do — it’s something you’ve been doing all along.

Most people think they’re “not intuitive” because it doesn’t show up the way they expect. But intuition isn’t dramatic, mystical, or reserved for people with special abilities.

It’s simple. It’s natural. And it’s already a part of you.

You’ve been receiving intuitive nudges your whole life — you just didn’t always know what to call them or they got lost in your inner noise, unrecognized for what they truly are.

The ways your intuition speaks are known as the Clairs — and learning them isn’t about developing a new skill. It’s about recognizing a language you’ve quietly been using for years.

The clairs are the intuitive senses you use to perceive energetic information. Just as your physical senses help you navigate the physical world, your clairs help you navigate the subtle, spiritual, and emotional realms.

 And the moment you begin to recognize them, your inner world becomes clearer, richer, and far more supportive than you ever imagined.

Let's talk about the four main clairs and how they are already a part of you.

Clairvoyance — Seeing Beyond the Obvious

Clairvoyance, or “clear seeing,” isn’t just about visions or dramatic spiritual imagery. It often begins gently — in flashes of color, symbolic images, vivid imagination, or mental snapshots that appear out of nowhere.

Clairvoyance reveals the energetic shape of truth.
A feeling becomes a picture.
A possibility becomes a scene.
Guidance becomes a visual metaphor.

You may see:

• a flash of light

• a color or symbol

• a mental image that appears out of nowhere

• a dream-like scene during meditation

Visual guidance often comes as quick, subtle impressions — not always in full-blown visions. And what you see may not be literal but rather a metaphoric expression that represents meaning from the subconscious.

If you daydream easily, visualize when you think, or receive intuitive images during meditation… your clairvoyance is already speaking.

Clairaudience — The Inner Voice of Wisdom

Clairaudience, or “clear hearing,” shows up as inner words, phrases, lyrics, tones, or messages that feel just a little too wise to come from your everyday mind.

It can sound like:

• a quiet inner statement offering guidance

• a phrase you “hear” internally, or sometimes, externally

• a song that answers your question

• a tone or ringing during intuitive moments

Clairaudience is subtle, not booming. It bypasses noise and speaks directly to clarity.

Clairsentience — Feeling Energy in Your Body

Clairsentience, or “clear feeling,” is the ability to sense energy through your emotions and physical sensations. It is the most common of all intuitive gifts.

Signals may show up as:

• pressure, heaviness or lightness in the body

• chills, tingles, or warmth

• heightened emotions without logical cause

• “vibe checks” that are instantly accurate

You’re not “too sensitive.”
You’re tuned in.

And remember: not everything you feel is yours. Clairsentients — especially those who identify as empaths — often pick up other people’s emotions, environmental energy, or old residual vibes in a space. When a feeling moves through you, try not to attach a story to it. Simply notice it, breathe, and allow it to pass.

You never have to stay stuck in an emotion that isn’t yours.

Once you’ve acknowledged the sensation, you can gently release it — often within seconds — just by observing it with awareness instead of claiming it as your own.

Your body is one of your greatest spiritual instruments.

Claircognizance — The Drop-In Knowing

Claircognizance, or “clear knowing,” is intuition at the speed of light. It’s insight without reasoning — truth delivered instantly.

It often feels like:

• answers that appear fully formed ("downloads")

• finishing someone’s sentence

• knowing an outcome before it unfolds

• having certainty without explanation

Claircognizants often doubt themselves because the information arrives so effortlessly. But effortless doesn’t mean imagined — it means aligned.

Learning to trust this clair is truly a mastery-level skill. Claircognizance often arrives without proof, which can make it easy to doubt. But trusting your inner knowing — without needing validation first — is one of the most powerful intuitive shifts you can make

We All Have the Clairs — But Some Speak Louder Than Others

Just as some people are naturally visual, auditory, or kinesthetic in daily life, your energetic senses also have their own preferences. Most people start with one or two clairs that are naturally the strongest while the others feel quieter.

This does not mean:

• you’re blocked

• you’re doing something wrong

• you aren’t intuitive

It simply means your intuition has a favorite door to enter through.

And the best part?

All clairs can be strengthened.

Every intuitive gift can be activated, practiced, and enhanced to expand your spiritual sensitivity and psychic abilities.

Your intuition is not fixed.

It’s a living relationship — one that grows the more you engage with it.

How to Strengthen Your Clairs

Your clairs sharpen through simple, consistent awareness. Try:

• Observing your first instinct before your mind interferes

• Tracking intuitive moments in a journal

• Asking your spiritual team for signs

• Practicing sensing energy instead of analyzing it

• Spending quiet moments in stillness, allowing your inner voice to rise

The more you acknowledge your intuitive hits, the more they grow.

Your intuitive language is already active.
Sometimes you just need a little support in recognizing it.
