ACCESSING YOUR INTUITION
or words (like my copy - right sign for Covid-19). Clairaudience allows the medium to hear sym- bols like names, songs, or messages internally as “verbal thoughts”. For in- stance, spirit uses songs to convey words they want spoken to a client. Sometimes the song was one that spirit sang when they were alive. Spirits may communi- cate using clairsentience
member’s earrings and saw visions of a departed mother on a beach in Ocean City, Maryland, gifting the earrings to her daughter. The ear - rings had been purchased there specifically as a present. Clairempa - thy, meaning clear emotion, is the ability to perceive others’ feelings or sense the energy of a place. If you’ve ever entered a room after an argument, you may have felt the heavy atmosphere left behind. Medi - ums often have one or two of these abilities that stand out more than the others. These sensory perceptions help provide deeper insight and supporting evidence for clients. Layers and Limitations Mediums often find that using imagery or symbols is simpler than relying solely on words. Visual or sensory symbols can communicate complex ideas and emotions more efficiently and require less men - tal energy than continuous verbal exchanges with spirits. Sometimes, hearing spirits talk constantly can be exhausting; symbols, song lyr- ics, or images may come through instead, making the communication process gentler. Communication is limited to what the medium already knows — spirits can only use references present in the medium’s mind. If a me - dium lacks the right words, a symbol or a snippet of a song may be an easier and more effective way for a spirit to express their message. Words alone are often insufficient for conveying the full depth of emo - tion or experience, and yes-or-no answers rarely provide meaningful insight. For example, when someone says they are sad, the word alone does not reveal how intense that sadness is. To communicate the specifics, many words would be needed. My sign for sadness is a heavy feeling in my chest cavity. The heavier the feeling, the more sadness I detect.

by making the medium feel the physical sensations a spirit wants to convey. For instance, a sharp pain in my chest tells me spirit had a heart attack or a heart condition. Claircognizance is being in the knowing of something, like knowing who is calling before looking at the phone. Clairolfactory refers to the ability to perceive scents beyond normal sensory experience. In one session when a departed mother came through, I smelled the French perfume Shalimar by Guerlain. It was the perfume my client’s mother wore, undeniable evidence of her mother’s presence. Clairolgustance is a useful sign; when I taste blood in my mouth, I know there was some kind of accident or intentional act where the departed loved one bled. Beyond the five main Clair senses, clairtangency — also referred to as psychometry — involves gaining information about someone through touching objects they’ve owned, like a cherished piece of jewelry. For example, during a mediumship demonstration, I held an audience
