Clairvoyance - Basics, practices, and practitioners.

[Rncreed13]

Hello, you all can call me Laury.
I would have liked to have made my first post in the introductory section but I decided to resolve two things here at once, and maybe get to that later.
I am new to this forum and like the range of information that I've come across, and appreciate people giving personal examples and insight, this is what drew me to join this community. This post is not about me however, so I will elaborate on myself another time.

I made this post primarily because I want to learn about clairvoyance--preferably from clairvoyants. My mother has told me since I was young that she would often have visions, and she seems to still have them though rarely these days (enough to count on one hand each year maybe). My fascination is not in her stories though, I myself inherited the ability and have witnessed for myself.

These visions I have, I've noticed, tend to come to me in a state of idleness, or sometimes when I am "spaced out", or coming to/from a trance, or just thinking then letting my mind "go". I have not figured out the pattern yet, but I do know that I usually see something in my mind's eye, it is usually just a glimpse, such a glimpse that I can barely even make out where/what/who/when/ or any other details of the like, I just know when I've seen it before, and I've learned the difference between it and deja-vu, because I recognize the feelings or the colors or a person somehow or a combination of details; I can feel that a puzzle piece in my mind has "clicked" and I can say "Oh, I recognize this." Again, I want to stress this, it is not the same as deja-vu, it is very much precognition and I can feel the difference, I also remember being younger (i am currently 18 years of age) and being able to make out more than what I can now.

My premonitions are usually on point, I can definitely feel things long before they happen, usually the same day, within a few hours, or sometimes days before, but I feel as though these are sometimes just independent premonitions, and other times i feel as though it is the build-up to what I have seen before, but what I cannot remember.
The only method I have adopted so far that works in any kind of way for me, does not really "work". I have to basically acknowledge that I had a vision and then choose to forget it until it comes about. I know it is silly sounding, but doing this has been the only way I can ,at the very least, keep them happening, and they have been happening more and more often, at least once a month I would gather, sometimes more. It seems that if I think about them too much (what I saw, what was going on, etc..) that they cease to come about. I notice if I am relaxed and think nothing of it, when it comes it is more clear (sometimes I don't realize what is going on, it is easy for me to slip into daydreams without knowing, and this I sometimes confuse with visions).

So my questions here are simple:
How would you define clairvoyance? I think of it as the not just the ability to see the future alone but also to see through different "levels" or "layers" of reality. I'd define it as "Clear sight and Clear insight." As in, I can see the future, yes, but likewise, if I am in the right state, I can just see, sometimes into people, into myself, and I used to see soft "glows" on people, but that has faded away for years (maybe after 8 years of age), though I haven't forgotten it.

How can I master this clairvoyance? I don't want it to be just a simple thing that I am aware my mind does, no. I want to own it, hone it, use it, master it.
What are best techniques for beginners in this kind of ability to practice? Any good books that people can recommend?
Does anyone have similar experience with beginnings in clairvoyance?

Also, I used to be extremely spiritually sensitive in general but just changed a lot but am reverting, I can feel it. Once, sometime last year, I touched the object of another and "knew" them instantaneously, just for a second, it felt like I received a massive amount of information but it dissipated very quickly. I am unsure if I internally panicked (though I didn't feel like it, it felt more like the energy/information just flowed in then out), but I will say I am very excitable over things, I think this may also be a block to my clairvoyance, as I have read trance/relaxation/calmness/JUST WITNESSING and not being too involved is key.

Anyway, what are your thoughts, I'd like to know.. Share what you can with me, thank you.

Welcome to the forum. I am not clairvoyant, but there are those here who can probably help you. My question will also probably help with their answers.

What kind of path are you on? Are you part of any certain religion or belief system or have and specific practises?

[Rncreed13]

Thank you friend, any help is wanted, I just prefer the clairvoyants because, by default, it is easier to share knowledge/experience with people who are aligned with the same thing. However, any person knowledgeable is knowledgeable and welcome to help.

Anyway, in my much earlier youth I was energetic and extremely loving, just my hugs calmed people and made them feel great. I was extremely spiritually sensitive as well, I could barely see auras, certain people had "glows" to them, I could astral project I am sure, I could see visions with a little more detail, I could sense subtle energies like a bird senses weather, and so on. I have always been an empath, and this has lasted longer than anything, it has been the only thing that I can feel has not changed very much since birth probably. I still have lucid dreams all the time as well. Around late elementary school/middle school I just got corrupt somehow, I am not sure, but I became extremely violent, hateful, dishonest, delusional, etc.. then suddenly, one day, I just decided to turn around, and that's what I've been doing. Nowadays I study spirituality quite broadly.

I do believe in God, in a sense of we are all energy and there inevitably is a source. I believe that we can tap into that source and that the source communicates with us through life and through ourselves. That is my perspective. I have studied Christianity and have been baptized, but never truly gave my life to Jesus Christ. I do pray for God to show me itself, and whatever it is I will accept it, finding out that it is or isn't buddha, krishna, Christ, etc. isn't going to deter me. I just want to know it as deeply as I can.

So as of now, I read a range of spiritual writing, manly p hall, the bible, liber null, etc.. I am really just at square one, wanting to get back that natural flow and balance I once had. So I am wanting to get into yoga, to pray more often and spend more time meditating as well as learning. Very simple. I am interested in magic and psychism, very interested. And I have actually experimented with I guess magic or the Law of Attraction, though I am sure the "magic" I've done would not be "High magick", it was more of a natural knowing of how to set up energies to make things happen, I cannot be specific though as it all just "came" to me when I was younger. I feel like I've only gotten numb and stupid as I've grown up (but that is changing as we speak).

Being that I am where I am in all of this, that is to say, absolutely overwhelmed and not sure where to start, I figured, meditate, pray, and hone this clairvoyance. And so far the former(s) have worked, I am no longer so desensitized and clouded in the mind, but this clairvoyance thing just eats me alive. I want to use it. And I am sure I can.

If it helps, I am probably "clairauditory" as well, as I can perceive through sound as well. I am a musician too. And I write.

I wouldn't worry to much about variations in your life and personality at this point in your life. At 18 you are at a very raw and exciting part of your journey. It also doesn't matter as much as some may say what belief system you subscribe to. Trust in your personal tuning fork of Truth above all else. Know that God (in whatever form you believe in at the moment) made you a seeker, and its ok to look in many places to gather Truths. From the little I know, don't worry about dogma or ritual too much, but listen to and respect everything and take the bits that work for you. You may invest in many practise in the coming years, only to realize that doing things 'off the cuff' is the best way. If you've been gifted with these abilities, only you can decide your course. Listen to everyone, believe only yourself... and then question yourself also. You are your greatest gift and obstacle at the same time. Trust yourself anyway. Even if you are wrong you might be guiding yourself to a lesson you can't get otherwise.

This insight alone is very moving and helpful. My lack of words, I hope my lack of words, can signify simple and kind depth I have found and yours. Thanks you.

God and/or religion has nothing to do with it.

You're talking about inherent abilities. It sounds like you have them. I don't think that most people have the ability to 'rock' the clairvoyance. It comes when it comes.

Don't knock Low Magic just because lots of what you read of about Ceremonial or High Magick.

[Rncreed13]

Thank you for your input Rose. But let me clarify what I meant in mentioning High magic. To my understanding, it (High magic) involves a lot of precision, timing, et cetera, and is usually done in a very disciplined and clear state of mind. What I did was different, it involved many of the same factors but lacked the Quiet Intensity that I perceive is in High magic. I didn't want it to sound as if I was saying that I was I've been practicing High magic since I was five or something of the like.

Congrats on your 500th post Magister Red!

Im gonna go on a lil tangent Laury, its what we... er, I do.

The God question may not matter to the clairvoyance question directly, but its always a good reference question. You can tell a lot from hearing a persons version of God. In many ways its usually a version of the person them self that has been elevated to their own highest divine understanding. Its quite interesting in an of itself.

That reminds me of an interesting book reagrding the matter. Has anybody read the Liber XXIV philosophorum? The book of 24 philosophers about the question "What is god?". If not, I can strongly recommend to take, it is a very impressive literature. [wink]

High Magick or Ceremonial Magick is very ritualized. A lot of it has to do with summoning and commanding demons or other assorted entities.

Low Magic can have that same quiet intensity, it can be very disciplined and ritualistic. You can also use all of the same correspondences, ie: moon times, planetary alignments, etc.

I don't know about 'quiet intensity' in High Magick. It can get pretty loud. LOL

----------------------------------------

and whoohoo!!! I got a promotion! Thank you. [yay]

[Rncreed13]

I see. Thank you again for the information.

[RoseRed]

I'd actually like to get more indepth into the question raised in the first post. I've been incredibly busy in real life and just haven't had the time to sit down and give it the attention it deserves. Hopefully, I will in the near future.

Once, sometime last year, I touched the object of another and "knew" them instantaneously, just for a second, it felt like I received a massive amount of information but it dissipated very quickly.

Actually, that's a completely separate gift called Psychometry. The Art/Gift of reading the energies that are stored within objects.

It's not surprising that you would be in different emotional states while experiencing these.

Clairvoyance as you've described is a gift of Minor Prophecy. You're not making anything happen. Something coming in the future is being shown to you.

Psychometry as you've described is touching an object and reading it's history. With time, practice and experience you'll learn to pick the important parts out of the multitude of information given upon touching it.

You can develop your abilities, but first you might want to understand the scope of your abilities. Georgi Lozanov was the greatest researcher of the 20th century (I'm not out to debate here), but data regarding his work is closely guarded outside Eastern Europe. You could volunteer to be a research subject at the Lozanov Institute in Bulgaria. Here is a link containing relevant data. Its grown up reading though and will take patience to get through.
