There seems to be, and apparently always has been, misunderstanding and confusion over the definitions between psychics, mediums and clairvoyants. There are many people who don’t know the difference between all of these ‘names’ that those of us that work with spirit and energy are very appreciative.
So to clear things up for you these are the meanings of:
Psychic – pertaining to mental forces, telepathy, extra sensory perception
Medium – contacting and being able to communicate with spirits of the dead
Clairvoyance – the ability to see things beyond our normal senses
Spirit Guides/ Angels – guidance of spirit from beyond the human veil
It is not so surprising that many people don’t know who or what they are letting themselves in for when visiting one of these people, or if they were to go to a workshop for Clairvoyance, would they know what to expect.
Well, I hope that the following explanations, will help you become much clearer on who and what a Psychic, Medium or Clairvoyant is and does. This of course is my interpretation and understanding of all of these areas and like everything in life we have a free will to choose our own way of understanding.
Let’s start with explaining about a Psychic. Someone that calls himself or herself a psychic may well be labelling themselves as such because it is stereotypically recognised as someone that can ‘read you’ and most likely be able to tell you about, your past, present, future and many other things that the Psychic could not possibly have known about you before having your reading. This essentially is correct, but how they do this in the true sense of the word, is that as a Psychic they will have like a ‘mental connection’ with you and they will also read your energy field, so they will be very sensitive and be able to pick up on your thoughts and energy most of all. In fact we are all Psychic to a certain degree.
There are at least three ‘clair’ abilities, and they are Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience.
Clairvoyance means to ‘clear seeing’. It means that the person that is working with their Clairvoyant ability will be able to see images of people, places or things in their minds eye, they are able to describe these to you during a reading or when giving a message. Therefore Clairvoyance is by definition simply clear seeing, and not seeing into the future.
A good Clairvoyant will, and indeed should, validate things for you that have happened in the past and things that are happening in the present. If they cannot interpret messages and guidance from the Spirit Guides, then how would you be able to believe that what they are saying about the future is indeed valid.
From my experience, it is not in our interest to know what will happen in our future life and therefore our Guides usually give information out very carefully. Why, you ask? Because, for example, if I were to tell someone that I could see they were going to move house have another child, win money etc and this person sat back and waited for these changes to occur then I would be interrupting their everyday thinking and way of living. Not, in my opinion a good thing.
Clairaudience (voyance par telephone gratuite) means ‘clear hearing’. This means that we hear information from Spirit. This might be a person’s own Spirit Guide or if working as a Medium, there may be messages received from the Spirit of the loved one that is no longer here. I don’t hear it on a physical level, I hear it as a voice in my head as if I were talking to myself silently. Now, as with any of these abilities the non-believers would argue that we’re making it all up as we go along. It is our imagination. Well, all I can say is that there is simply a built in radar that indicates when a Spirit Guide is speaking to me. For example; When I have to ask for someone’s Guide to come through with their name and to give me a past life reference that would mean something to that person only and they in return are giving me specifics, like names, dates and places and sometimes aliments relating to a client and the client verifies the information. Then I know I’m on track. It is very easy to get carried away for some and unfortunately, these people take away from the genuine Psychics and Mediums.
Clairsentience is where we feel things, or sense things, as the word suggests, it is ‘clear sensing’. A Clairsentience usually get this, again when working as a Medium,such as when someone has passed with a certain illness or condition. For a moment they will feel a sensation that would have been felt by the passed over spirit on dying.Or perhaps the sensation of a condition they would have suffered with during their life, and so one can only describe this to the person they are giving a message to. This helps to validate which particular person is coming through from Spirit for the person going for a reading.
Mediums and mediumship are a little more complex to explain, so I hope I can make this easier for you to understand now.
Simply, a medium is someone that ‘talks to people that in Spirit’.
To explain further, a medium, by another definition is the ‘channel or conduit’ by which information from spirit passes through or indeed is the channel through which any energy passes. So for example, if someone called themselves a Clairvoyant Healer, they are in fact, mediums through which the energy flows to our clients and so on…
This then means by its very nature that anyone working with Spirit or energy on any level could be called a medium. A Medium in this sense is then being defined as a ‘channel’.
So for someone that calls themselves a clairvoyant/medium, by rights, should be able to describe information received from the spirit world and also to describe visually things that you have experienced in a past life, or even in your current life.
There are ‘clairvoyant/mediums’ out there, that aren’t in fact either of these! They may ‘read’ people, but they may be reading via their psychic or sentient ability and not actually ‘seeing’ anything at all, or indeed they may not be able to receive messages from Spirit either. This doesn’t mean they aren’t good readers, it just means they might not be offering you the sort of reading you were really after. In even instance of you are choosing to arrange an appointment for a reading, it is best to ask your ‘reader’ how they work, they should always be more than happy to explain it to you not only on the phone or email, but on the day of your appointment. This way, you will be in a good place to understand and accept the information you will receive.
Spirit Guides and Angels are right here for all of us, whatever source of religion we may believe in.
They make no judgements, the religions of our world have no bearing on their love for each and everyone of us.
We all have Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides, regardless of our beliefs, or lack of them. Even totally convinced non believers have them.
In the same way we all have a heart and soul, our standing in life, whether rich or poor. tall or short, angry or happy, dictator or murderer, has no bearing on their dedication to us. We can be sure these wonderful Spirits have been caring for us since before our birth and we can also be sure that at least one of them will stay with us until death and often from one lifetime to the other.
They guide us through our days, helping us to learn our life’s lessons and to provide support in fulfilling our soul’s Blueprint.
One of the greatest gifts we were blessed with at birth is a ‘free will’. This is ours to use as much as we please. Most of the time we make decisions based on what we want ‘immediately’, but if we listen closely to our inner voice we will soon learn that by following the ‘guidance’ we receive, our lives can be made much easier.
Our wonderful Guides are always whispering in our ear, creating environments and situations that will be of greater benefit.
I’m sure you have experienced one of these following situations; feeling just right, or experiencing another ‘just a coincidence moment’ that blows you away, again and again. You know, that feeling of ‘déjà vu’. Yes that’s right this your Guides and Angels communicating with you. Helping to make the path smoother.Take notice next time.
Our Spirit Guides are the ones who show us past lives that we have lived, often including the one that we had with them. The aim is to learn from the challenging experiences we are told of from our past lives, it is the chance to provide us the opportunity of releasing the blocked memory in this lifetime. In doing so we are bound to move forward with greater confidence.
