Clairvoyance:
Literally, clear sight. The psychic ability or power to acquire
information, or to see objects, animals or people, in spite of any
distance involved, and, in the case of a person or animal, to judge its
present condition or emotional state. The clairvoyant can also pick up
on past or future events. Clairvoyance is often used as a general term
encompassing phenomena such as telepathy, second sight, prophetic
visions, and dreams.
Channeler:
A person who acts as an intermediary and through whom communication
from the Spirit World is passed to those in the physical world. This is
usually a sensitive and often very psychic person who has been chosen
by a specific otherworldly entity to take that entity’s message to
other living human beings.
Clairaudience:
A form of channeling. Usually clairaudience is defined as the
perception of messages in thought forms from an entity that exists in
another realm. The person receiving these messages hears the messages
in their mind. Though words or songs may actually be heard the same way
one hears a phrase or song running through their heads, the thought
itself may be all that’s transmitted. For the budding clairaudient: Be
sure you share the messages obtained through clairaudience only with
people who understand. Clairaudience is often confused with
schizophrenia.
Clairaugustine:
The spiritual ability that corresponds most similarly to the physical
senses of both smell and taste. A sense experienced in the mouth or
nose. For example, the taste or smell of a favorite food associated
with a deceased entity.
Clairsentience:
Sometimes called impressional mediumship, this ability relies on the
distinct feelings that the medium has when giving a message. It often
involves the medium being overcome by an unrelenting sense of what
needs to be said, but the message doesn’t come to the mind in any
distinct way. It is more of a gut reaction, a clear and undeniable
feeling that the medium has to speak about certain issues, give a
particular name, or go to a specific person when giving messages to a
larger group. Clairsentience is a very common way for many mediums to
work; if you asked them how they received their messages from Spirit,
they wouldn’t be able to define the process for you more then saying it
is a knowing.
Empathic:
Empaths have the ability to sense and feel the emotions and energies of
people, animals or objects. Empathy is aligned with the entire nervous
system. Everything has an energetic vibration or frequency; an Empath
is able to sense these vibrations that are often not recognizable to
the eye or the five senses. An Empath has the ability to scan another’s
psyche to gain a deeper understanding of his or her thoughts and
feelings.
Healer:
A person who is psychic who can transfer healing energy to those in
need. Healing energy is usually given primarily to balance and
encourage the positive aspects and energies of a person. This is the
most common practice of healing, though there are several techniques
used to heal which is usually distinct to each individual healer.
Intuitive:
A person who can pick up on thoughts and feelings of other life forms,
as well as signals of nature. While all psychics are intuitives, not
all intuitives are psychics. Psychics tend to get more specific detail,
while intuitives work primarily with emotions. Intuitives are also
often healers. They can prove invaluable in cases where there’s no
discernible cause for pain or discomfort because they can sense what
exactly is going on and thus are in a better position to know what the
healer should focus on.
Spirit
Guides: Spirits who have passed on and have attained a high degree of
wisdom and spiritual awareness, yet remain close to the earthly plane
and its people so as to guide certain individuals along the path to
having a broader awareness of a universal consciousness. Spirit guides,
however, are still evolving, and thus should not be regarded as
infallible. The best of them know this and make sure that those they
guide know it as well.
Medium:
A person whose mind can pierce the veil between this world and the
next, and talk to the dead, though some mediums also can to talk to
angels and Ascended Masters. Mediums are most often called upon by
people who wish to seek guidance or comfort from friends, relatives,
or, in some cases, spiritual leaders who have passed on. Often mediums
are consulted in order to clear haunted buildings of spirits who are
earthbound who either aren’t ready to leave the earth or don’t know
that they are dead. In a few cases, there have been murder victims who
have helped to solve their own murders through mediums.
Shamanism:
refers to a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with
communication with the spirit world. There are many variations of
shamanism throughout the world, though there are some beliefs that are
shared by all forms of shamanism:
- The spirits can play important roles in human lives.
- The shaman can control and/or cooperate with the spirits for the community's benefit.
- The spirits can be either good or bad.
- Shamans
engage various processes and techniques to incite trance; such as:
singing, dancing, taking entheogens, meditating and drumming.
- Animals play an important role, acting as omens and message-bearers, as well as representations of animal spirit guides.
- The shaman's spirit leaves the body and enters into the supernatural world during certain tasks.
- The shamans can treat illnesses or sickness.
- Shamans are healers, gurus and magicians.
Angels:
Messengers from God. Angels were created at the beginning of time. They
don’t die, and never will until the end of the present Universe. Angels
are ageless and sexless, although they can take male or female forms
when necessary or they can take the forms of animals. Their purpose on
earth is to bring messages from the Absolute to all earthly life forms,
and provide aid and assistance when necessary. Contrary to popular
belief, human beings do NOT become angels when they die. They become
transcendent human beings. Angels are a totally different life form.
Ghost:
(1) The spirit of a person, who has died on the material plane, yet
does not move on to the higher realms. Ghosts sometimes stay behind
because (a) they have died suddenly and/or violently and don’t know
they’re dead; (b) feel too attached to places where they were happy;
and/or (c) are still looking or waiting for people who have also died,
but have moved on. (2) An image or imprint on the ethers of a traumatic
and violent event, which keeps repeating itself again and again, like a
video tape.(memory energy) (3) A person who has died and moved on to
the higher planes, yet comes back to warn or otherwise look after
someone whom they loved who is now in trouble.
