The clairvoyant usually uses a crystal ball to access their revelations.
An individual who has clairvoyance is classified as clairvoyant . The adjective, as recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) in its dictionary, can also be used as a noun.
The idea of clairvoyance, meanwhile, has several uses. It may be the ability to understand and unravel things clearly , although the notion usually refers to a supernatural faculty that enables the divination of future events or the perception of events or realities that cannot be seen .
paranormal abilities
A clairvoyant has paranormal abilities : he can register extrasensory phenomena that ordinary human beings cannot notice.
The most common abilities of a clairvoyant are:
- precognition : foreseeing future events. A clairvoyant might claim to be able to "see" or "feel" events that will occur later in time;
- retrocognition : obtaining information about past events, often revealing details not available in any other way;
- Remote Place Perception – Also known as remote viewing , this ability allows one to obtain detailed information about geographically distant places without having physically been there;
- spirit communication : communicating with spiritual beings, guides, or even the dead. They may receive messages or information through visions or psychic impressions;
- intuitive medical diagnosis – detecting illnesses or medical conditions through intuition or psychic vision, often without using conventional medical methods;
- aura reading : viewing and analyzing the energy field that surrounds a person, known as “ aura .” The aura is believed to contain information about emotional and spiritual health;
- tarot or card reading : symbolic interpretations to obtain information about past, present or future situations;
- telepathic clairvoyance : receiving thoughts or messages from other people through telepathy , without the need for verbal or written communication.
Many scientists and skeptics argue that supposed clairvoyant abilities can be explained by natural psychological processes, such as subconscious perception or the interpretation of unconscious clues, rather than paranormal phenomena.
Outside of science
Clairvoyance has never been conclusively proven by science . This occurs despite the fact that it is a topic that has fascinated humanity for centuries and has been the subject of debate and speculation in various cultures and times.
One of the biggest challenges to proving clairvoyance is the lack of standardized and reproducible scientific methods to study it. Unlike other natural phenomena that can be observed and measured with scientific instruments, clairvoyance is based on subjective experiences and is often difficult to quantify.
Scientists have attempted to design experiments to test clairvoyance, but many of these have been criticized for their lack of scientific rigor . For example, some studies have been accused of bias or not adequately controlling for external variables that could influence the results.
Clairvoyance, if it exists, seems to be an elusive and unreliable phenomenon . Reports are often anecdotal and difficult to independently verify . Additionally, people who claim to have clairvoyant abilities cannot always replicate their feats under scientific scrutiny.
Typical questions
The questions asked of clairvoyants usually revolve around love , health , and work . Many people appeal to these fortune tellers to try to know if a romantic relationship can be recovered, if a certain illness will be overcome, or if a job will be found in the short term.
Cards are among the most used tools by clairvoyants.
Anguish and despair , in certain cases, leads us to trust the words of those who claim to have clairvoyance and who earn a lot of money for their "services."
Personal beliefs and expectations can play an important role in clairvoyant experiences. People may interpret coincidental events as evidence of their clairvoyant abilities, because they want to believe what they are told, especially when it involves promises of success.
