Can you really learn how to be clairvoyant? To a certain extent, the answer to that question is yes. However, to understand this, we have to first clarify what ‘learn clairvoyance‘ actually means.

Part of what’s confusing is that the term ‘clairvoyance‘ has different meanings, depending on whom you talk to. Most commonly, people think being clairvoyant means that you can engage in remote viewing, which is that you can see things from far away without using your senses or any type of technology. Another common definition of it among people is that precognition is actually clairvoyance. However, recognition means that you can see events happening in the future. Most basically, what clairvoyance really means is that you can know something about a person, location, object, or event without using your five senses. In other words, clairvoyance is really a sixth sense.

True, some people do have extraordinary clairvoyant abilities, such as the ability to see, hear, feel, smell, or even taste something far away, or even to know things about the past or future that they couldn�t possibly know through any other means. No one really know how this works. Science has not been able to document or explain these abilities. Although there are dozens of metaphysical explanations of these psychic abilities, no particular one has emerged as the dominant belief, and some explanations are even contradictory. One common element, however, seems to cut across all these different theories: people with extraordinary psychic abilities are simply born that way.

Is it possible for everyone to learn remote viewing or develop the ability to see into the future? No, but it is possible for everyone to develop a talent at developing a sixth sense.

It is true that all people have a certain degree of a sixth sense. This can sometimes be described as a hunch or feeling that no one can logically explain. People making statements about having bad feelings about something or lacking trust in a person could be considered a form of sixth sense. However, most people will ignore this feeling and defer to logic or emotion instead.

To a certain degree, science also acknowledges that hunches and instincts, and their validity, exists. However, what differs is that scientists don’t think there’s anything paranormal, supernatural, or psychic about this ability. For example, psychologists say that the phenomenon is caused by your subconscious mind picking up on little signals, hints and details that you and your conscious mind simply ignore because you’re too busy. However, your subconscious mind does actually see these things, and translates them into emotions that can help guide you with your proverbial ‘hunches’ and ‘instincts.’ So in order to develop a sixth sense, you have to learn how to trust and use your subconscious mind.

Whether your sixth sense is based in paranormal psychic ability or brain neurochemistry (or both) is ultimately unimportant. The point is that clairvoyance exists, everyone has it to a certain degree, and anyone can develop and hone their clairvoyant ability if they choose to. Here are three ways to do so.

1. Improve Your Perception

Most people go through life with a sort of tunnel vision, where they’re so focused on what they’re doing in front of them that they become oblivious to everything that’s going on around them. Even so, though, these small details are hidden in plain sight, and our subconscious minds pick up on them. We get our instinct and hunches from this information, and if you can learn how to increase your perception, and become more aware of what’s around you and the details therein, you’ll be giving your subconscious mind more of what it needs to develop your sixth sense.

Yes, all of this involves a great deal of practice. Thankfully, there are a number of things you can do to improve your abilities of perception. Slowing down and sinking in your environment is one such thing. Staying relaxed and calm is another. Be more leisurely in your daily activities is another. Try to avoid allowing things to occupy your senses and thoughts and this will increase awareness. The end result of this could prove to be quite positive.

Finally, occasionally do a ‘mini-meditation’. This consists of closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, and forcing yourself to relax. When you open your eyes again, you’ll be more aware of your surroundings. This only takes a few seconds, but you’ll be surprised by the difference it makes.

2. Meditate

Try to meditate at least 30 minutes a day. The idea behind meditation is to occupy and clear your conscious mind, and let your subconscious mind rise to the surface to do its work and communicate with your conscious mind People who meditate report feeling relaxed and refreshed when they are done.

Of course, meditation is easier said that done. When you sit down and try to think about nothing, suddenly all you can think about is whether or not your thinking about nothing, wondering if your doing this all wrong�and then you’re stuck in an endless circle of thought. The trick to overcoming this problem is to occupy your conscious mind with something to distract it. For this, you need two things: a focus, and a mantra.

Meditation can be difficult because your senses act as a means of distraction. Every little sound you hear and anything that you feel can prove quite distracting. So, it is best to avoid trying to shut down your senses and, instead, try to keep them busy with something you are focusing on. The flame of a candle can work well in this regard. As the flame flickers and shifts, you can watch it and keep your mind occupied.

Second, our conscious mind, our thoughts, never shuts down�we’re always thinking about something. Rather than try to silence it, occupy and distract it with a mantra. A mantra is phrase, poem, or prayer that you repeat over and over again in your head just to occupy your mind. It can be anything�a prayer, a favorite poem, even song lyrics�just as long as you know it by heart and can recite it with much thought. Some people pray the rosary as they meditate�the endless string of memorized Hail Marys occupies their conscious mind perfectly.

3. Trust Your Instincts

This is perhaps the most important element of developing your clairvoyant abilities. Don’t doubt, second-guess yourself, dismiss your gut instincts as unimportant, or tell yourself there’s no logical reason for you to feel the way you do. Your hunches and instincts exist for a reason. It’s your subconscious mind trying to tell you something, something that your conscious mind hasn’t noticed.

Yes, this all may prove difficult at first, but skill can be developed over time. Just listen to and trust your instincts. You will discover more confidence over time and your clairvoyant sixth strength will grow. This will allow you to trust it.
