Clairvoyant is a French word. Clair means clearly and voyant means seeing. So clairvoyant means seeing clearly. In psychic terms clairvoyance is an ability for extrasensory perception. Clairvoyance allows a person to perceive distant objects, events, persons and so on. Clairvoyant psychics can see beyond the veils of space and time. They can see the past, present and future of a person and also the course of events related to him /her or situation.
Clairvoyance is also known as remote viewing, sixth sense or the third eye. Though clairvoyance literally is a visual phenomenon, it also includes clairsentience or feeling, clairaudience or hearing and kinesthetic impressions or impressions about movements. Most people are born with clairvoyant abilities at varying degrees of development but the unnatural social norms and restrictive training regime curb these innate abilities with the passage of time.
Some people are, however, fortunate enough to be born with an exceptionally higher level of clairvoyance and they reveal this talent in their childhood itself. This ability may have been inherited from the clairvoyant parent/s or grandparent/s. Or, it may also be a part of their process of spiritual evolution continuing from one birth to another birth. In other words it may be a result of their past karmas.
The dormant clairvoyant abilities can also be reawakened by returning to the level of childlike simplicity and innocence. This can be achieved through the tutelage of some clairvoyant teacher or a guru. The training may require living a life of discipline, learning yoga, meditation and breathing exercises leading to relaxation of the mind and emptying it of the clutter of negative thoughts and feelings. Once the garbage of negative and convoluted thoughts is cleared off, the mind returns to its natural stage of innocence and simplicity. The training may also help the seeker to utilize his brains and lungs to their full potential through thinking and breathing exercises also called pranayam. The yogic exercises combined with pranayam and meditation may open the third eye or reactivate the sixth sense.
