Which Psychic Gifts Do You Have??

That thing you keep calling a coincidence has a name..

Let me guess.. you thought about somebody and they called right after... You got a bad feeling about somebody everybody else loved and you ended up being right?? You had a dream and then it HAPPENED a couple days later.. & you're still out here calling it a coincidence?? That’s a spiritual gift!

Somebody wrote in to the MysticMMoon Portal this month and asked me how to know if they have specific gifts based on things that have happened to them. I love this question so much! I could only answer it in a paragraph in the newsletter and that was not enough for me so as promised.. I'm breaking the whole thing down here.

If you've never heard of the clairs they're your psychic senses. There's one for seeing and hearing and feeling and knowing and even smelling and tasting. Yes tasting lol.. it's your regular senses picking up on more than what's physically in front of you.

I think of these less like spiritual gifts even though they are gifts.. but i think of them more like a skill set that ANYBODY can learn. Anybody!! I've experienced all of them personally and some are more connected to me than others. You don't have to be limited to just one. You could literally have all of them or you could have none of them but at the end of the day you can always work on growing whichever one you want.

I'm going to go through what each one is like for me. If you're reading one and you go wait that's literally me then yay! We figured out which spiritual gift you have! & Remember, you can have wayy more than just one so don’t limit yourself!

Claircognizance is just knowing

I'm an all-knowing download type of person. I get a whole entire book worth of information in like five seconds and then I have to explain it for an HOUR lol.. Sometimes I don’t even realize how much information I know about something or someone until I try to write it down or start talking about it! I don't see anything or hear anything when it happens. I just know it.

So think about it.. has there been a time that you knew who was texting you before you looked at your phone or you knew a job wasn't going to work out and you couldn't explain why to anybody. It's that felling of ‘I don't know how I know I just know’ feeling. then you turn out to be right and everybody acts surprised except you.. or maybe you’re like me and everybody expects your answer to be right because you’re that psychic friend lol

I love this because there's real science behind it too! Your brain takes in way more than you're consciously aware of and it's matching patterns in the background all day. So sometimes you get the answer before you can explain how you got it. Most people get that answer and then talk themselves right out of it. Please don’t be doing that.

To practice it ask yourself a question and set a timer for five minutes. Write whatever comes without stopping to fix it and then read it back. You're going to surprise yourself!!

Clairvoyance is seeing

I have visions the most. Sometimes I see a whole scene and sometimes it's a quick little flash of something..

Most of the time you're seeing it in your mind in the same place you'd see a daydream. So if somebody's telling you a story and you can see the whole thing like a movie you're probably clairvoyant. Same if you have really vivid dreams and then pieces of them show up in real life. Did you think everybody's dreams did that? It may be surprisng to know that they don't! It can also be flashes in the corner of your eye or seeing colors around people, like their aura.

When you picture something your brain uses a lot of the same parts it uses when you see something with your eyes. How cool is that?! Some people can picture things so clearly that it is like they’re literally there and some people can barely picture anything. It gets easier to use this gift the more you practice so don't count yourself out.

An easy way to practice is to look at something like a candle or your coffee mug for thirty seconds. Then close your eyes and try to see it again with as much detail as you can. Don’t be scared to take your time with this.. but try it out!

Clairaudience is hearing

Whenever I dream I hear the conversations in that dream too.. Sometimes I hear voices when I'm awake too and NOT in a creepy way lol.

For you it might be hearing your name when nobody's home and being like wtf was that??? It might be a word that pops into your head and doesn't sound like your own thoughts or a song gets stuck in your head out of nowhere and then you actually listen to the lyrics and they're about the exact thing you've been worried about. Tell me that hasn't happened to you!

A lot of people notice this one first when they're falling asleep or just waking up. Hearing things in that in between state is really common and sleep researchers even have a name for it. I think it's because your mind is finally quiet enough to hear it.

I do want to say this should feel calm though. If what you're hearing scares you or doesn't stop or tells you to do things then please go talk to a doctor. Same thing if you have ringing in your ears that won't go away. Ringing in your ears can mean you have this gift while also meaning you have pressure in your ears! It’s important to be able to tell which one is happening.

To practice just sit somewhere quiet and listen for every sound you can pick out. Sometimes I’ll even try to ask myeslf to listen in on something that hasn’t or has happened already and I’ll see what I hear! Start with the sounds that are farthest away. After a few minutes pay attention to what you hear in your own head.

Clairsentience is feeling

I'm definitely clairsentient as well and I almost forgot to put it in here!! I think I forget about it because it's literally just something I always have had and don’t even have to think about..

I can feel everybody's energy in the room whether I try to or not.. If I look at somebody I can tell what they're feeling. Then I connect my other psychic abilities to understand why they're feeling that way. So just know you can't lie to me hahaha but I guess that’s why I do what I do!

This is the one where you walk into a room and you can tell two people were just arguing being the energy feels stiff.. or you get a weird feeling in your stomach around somebody and later find out you were right about them. Maybe you're exhausted after being around a lot of people or you take on your friend's bad mood without meaning to.

I find that people with this gift usually like staying out of the public or atleast need to have some time away to refresh! if you've been called too sensitive your whole life I need you to hear me right now.. You were feeling things the people around you couldn't feel and nobody told you that was a skill. It is!

Your body has a sense called interoception that keeps track of what's going on inside you like your heartbeat and your gut and breathing. Some people feel it a lot more than others. People also pick up each other's emotions automatically from faces and tone of voice. I think clairsentient people just get a lot more of both.

Something you can try is checking how you feel before you walk into a room and then checking again a minute later. If something changed it's probably not yours. Knowing that alone will save you SO much stress!! Remember, if you have this gift.. try to remember not every emotion is yours when going around others.. don’t be convinced that YOU are sad just becuase somebody in the room is and you’re feeling it.

This is also what I'm doing when I read for you! I'm using all of these at the same time. If you want to know what I pick up for you then come book a reading at MysticMMoon.com… but let’s carry on to the next one!

Clairalience is smelling

For me, I don’t have this one as much as the others.. it's usually a certain perfume or food or a bonfire smell. It'll bring me back to a memory or it'll tell me about a memory I'm about to have.

With clairalience there's nothing physically there to smell. Nobody is wearing the perfume and nothing is burning. So you might be sitting on your couch and all of a sudden you smell your grandmother's perfume and nobody else in the room can smell it. If that's happened to you I hope you said hi to her!! Or you smell smoke or flowers right before something happens and you don't connect it until later.

One thing I want to be clear about is that smell is connected to memory more directly than any of your other senses. So if somebody walks by wearing a perfume and it takes you right back to being a kid that's a normal thing. It's clairalience when you smell it and there's nothing there!

You can practice by smelling one herb or spice a day with your eyes closed. Later try to remember exactly what it smelled like & if you can really smell it while it’s not even there.. this is your gift!

Clairgustance is tasting

This is the one I've experienced the least.. When it does happen I taste a specific thing from my childhood or I crave something I don't even like lol. So weird and so cool.

So maybe you've had a taste in your mouth when you haven't eaten anything or you were thinking about somebody who passed away and you could taste something they used to make or even simpler.. you had a really good dinner 3 weeks ago and you can stilllll taste it! That's clairgustance! Same with craving a food you don't even like. It might not be your craving lol I get that from time to time!

Taste and smell work together in your brain to make flavor so a lot of the time these two show up together. If you have the smell one you might have this one too.

You can practice by closing your eyes and imagining you're biting into a lemon. If your mouth starts watering that shows you how real your brain can make a taste. And if it can do that with a lemon imagine what else it can do!

Two more you might have

Clairtangency is touch. You hold something and get information from it. Maybe you've picked up a ring or an old photo and gotten a feeling about the person it belonged to or thrift stores drain you and you never knew why. Now you know! You can test it by having a friend hand you their keys. Close your eyes and say the first three things that come to you and then ask them if you were right. This one is so fun to do with friends.

Clairempathy is feeling somebody else's emotions like they're your own. Some people count it separately from clairsentience but for me they're the same thing. If the clairsentience part sounded like you then you probably have this too, so look into them both!

Seeing through the veil

This is a gift that doesn’t really have a clair to fit into.. Some of us can just see things that others can’t.. for example, I see passed loved ones and sometimes an occasional shadow figure. That's more mediumship and seeing through the veil.

The clairs are the way information comes to you and mediumship is more about connecting with spirit. Mediums use the same senses to do it. It's mostly seeing and hearing and feeling.

You don't need to be doing that to get started so don't let it scare you lol but for the people that have already experienced this.. you’re not alone or crazy! and for the oens how haven’t that’s okay! Start with whichever clair comes most naturally to you.

How to grow whichever one you want

I feel like each one of these is super unique and you don't have to be limited to just one. You're allowed to want or have all of them! This is how I'd start working on growing these skills..

Start with the one that sounded the most like you after reading this full blog. You already have some of it so you'll notice results faster.

Then spend about five to twenty minutes a day getting quiet. When you're stressed your brain is busy looking for threats and it misses the small stuff. Being calm makes a big difference. Tell yourself what's available to you.

I know that sounds soo simple but it kinda is! There's a part of your brain called the reticular activating system that helps filter what you notice, you can learn more about this in my 7 day mindset reset guide if you’re called! When you tell it something is important you start noticing it more. & by ‘tell it’ i mean whatever thoughts and emotions you are allowing to repeat in your body everyday is the filter you’re putting on life! It's the same reason you buy a car and then see that car everywhere..

Write down what you get with the date and go back later to see what was right. The more you do it the stronger it gets because your brain builds up whatever you practice. Seeing your own proof written down is the best freaking feeling too.

After that it's really just leaning into what's already been there.

& if you want help figuring out where you're at then ask me in a reading! My General Tarot Reading has a three-question option and it's the one people book the most. You could ask which clair is your strongest and what's blocking the one you want and what to do next. I would LOVE to answer that for you.

Tell me yours

I want to know which ones you have!! Comment below and tell me. If it's more than one then tell me all of them.

I'd also love to hear about the first time you noticed it even if it's something you've never told anybody because you thought it sounded crazy. It doesn't sound crazy to me. I promise I've heard weirder lol.

& tell me which one you want to work on next!! For me I am working one something fun.. which is remote viewing! This combines a lot of my gifts into one, so let me knwo if you want a guide on how to start doing this! I’m getting better every time I do it!

& if you have a question you want me to answer you can send it through the form on MysticMMoon.com and I might answer it in the next Portal.

Sending love today, my psychic souls!
