Clairsentience

Clairsentience is the intuitive ability to receive information through feelings and physical sensations. The word means "clear feeling." A clairsentient picks up on the emotions, energy, and physical states of other people, places, or spirits.

In a reading, clairsentience might show up as the practitioner suddenly feeling a pain in their chest (indicating a heart condition in a spirit communicator), a wave of sadness (reflecting the client's emotional state), or a warm, peaceful feeling (a message of reassurance from the other side).

Clairsentience is closely related to being an empath. Many empaths are naturally clairsentient — they absorb the emotions and energy of the people around them without trying. The difference is that a trained clairsentient has learned to distinguish between their own feelings and the information they are receiving intuitively.

If you have ever walked into a room and immediately felt that something was wrong — even though everyone was smiling — that is clairsentience. If you have ever met someone and instantly felt uneasy without any logical reason, that is your clairsentient sense picking up on their energy.

It is one of the most common intuitive gifts, and often the first one people notice in themselves.
