Before you can reliably receive guidance from the unseen realm, you must first discover which “phone line” spirit is using to call you and the intuitive language that speaks most clearly to your soul, whether it arrives as a flashing light, a sudden knowing, an inner whisper, or a physical tingle, is the key that transforms random impressions into a direct, trustworthy conversation with the divine.
Do You Know Your Primary Intuitive Language?
by Whitney McNeill
Your primary intuitive language is important to identify, as it provides a direct line to Spirit. Knowing which “phone line” to dial is helpful for there to be a clear connection with Spirit. Sometimes we think that one way of receiving spirit messages is the only way. But this is not always the case. We are all unique creatures and, therefore, have unique ways of communication with the unseen realm.
The primary intuitive languages are: Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, and Claircognizance. Each individual has a natural inherent ability (sometimes two or more) that seems to stand out from the rest. One ability is not better than the other. Though we may have one or two primary intuitive languages, we can develop the others!
The Primary Intuitive Languages
Clairvoyance (Clear-seeing)
Clairvoyance is having the ability to see Spirit. Clairvoyant individuals can see Spirit with their eyes closed or open. Often, Spirit will communicate through clairvoyance via symbols, colors, or lights. A primary example is seeing flashes or tiny colored lights, typically in a darkened room. These are called spirit lights. This is one of the easiest ways spirits can show themselves.
While meditating, colors and symbols may be seen. Symbols are a way that Spirit reveals messages and information in a compact way. When receiving a symbol, just simply keep your mind clear, and ask, “What does this mean?” Spirit will answer.
Short Quiz:
Do you see flashes of light, energy, or the outline of a figure in a darkened room? Have you seen auras? Are there colors while you meditate? After waking up from a dream, does the dream stay with you very vividly? When you imagine your future, do you see a clear picture in your mind?
Clairaudience (Clear-hearing)
Clairaudience is the ability to hear Spirit. This can be a tricky ability because the individual can receive a message from spirit through what sounds like their inner reading voice. Then the question is, “How do we know if it is a message from spirit?”
One way to discern a clairaudient message is to keep a clear mind. When we receive messages from spirit that sound like our inner reading voice, the voice comes in very fast. The message from spirit is faster than the time it would take to produce a question or thought.
This is because the energy/mind is already composing the question, not the brain. Spirit answers swiftly. A spirit’s voice can also audibly be heard, rather than sounding like the inner reading voice.
Short Quiz:
Have you heard talking, even while you are alone? When you think of a loved one in spirit, do you remember or hear their voice? Are you an “out loud talker” while thinking or processing information? Are you someone who listens to your inner voice? After you wake up from a dream, do you remember what people said?
Clairsentience (Clear-feeling)
Those who are clairsentient can feel Spirit. Feeling the presence of spirit can result in temperature fluctuations, tingle sensations, or feeling a touch on the skin. Spirit also impresses emotions through this ability. Those who are empathic are clairsentient. Medical intuitives can use this ability to sense a client’s energy blockages.
Short Quiz:
Is the feeling of being watched or protected prevalent? Do you feel you aren’t alone, even though no one else is around? Are the emotions of others felt very strongly in your energy? When you remember a Loved One, do you feel a warm and loving feeling? When making a decision, do you need time to “feel it out?”
Claircognizance (Clear-knowing)
Claircognizant individuals just intuitively know something. This is one of the most difficult primary intuitive language abilities to understand. They do not feel, see, or hear the message from Spirit, so they sometimes are unable to understand that the knowing comes from Intuition.
An example of claircognizance would be knowing that someone is coming over to visit and taking action on that knowledge. A claircognizant may even start cleaning up their house as they prepare for this “surprise” guest. While tidying up, they may realize that no one ever called, emailed, or told them they were coming. They just know they will have a visitor at any moment.
Oftentimes, with claircognizance, the individual starts acting on the knowing because it is such a strong truth within them.
Short Quiz:
Do you know things about people even though no one told you? Have you ever acted out of your knowing? Do you jump to the conclusion of a situation because you have a strong knowing of the truth? When you visualize your future, is there a strong knowing where you will be? When you face a decision, does the best option just present itself without needing to think it through?
Tallying the Quiz Results to Determine Your Primary Intuitive Language
The more “yes” answers there are in the short quizzes, the stronger the indication of ability. There are other abilities such as clairalience (clear-smelling) and clairgustance (clear-tasting). These abilities are not often a primary way of receiving messages from spirit. Smelling a spirit’s perfume or the favorite meal they used to make would be an example of clairalience. Tasting the food they made would be an example of clairgustance.
After you have more awareness of the primary way you receive information from spirit, bring the awareness into your daily life and routine. Ask your spirit helpers to communicate with you and pay attention to those subtle responses through your primary intuitive language!
