Clairsentience can be a blessing when trying to navigate life

DEAR BONNIE » I have the gift of sensing other people’s emotions, and lately I’ve been getting a lot of “gut feelings” about different things. Can you explain what this might be? — Diane

DEAR DIANE » This gift you are talking about is called clairsentience, and it’s one of our psychic centers — which is a great gift to have, especially if you know how to use this clear feeling of others’ emotions. If you have ever been standing next to someone in the grocery store or at work and you start to sense what that person is feeling emotionally, this gift might be one of your strong psychic centers. Clairsentience is all about “clear sensing.”

This gift is associated with your solar plexus, located at the top of your stomach. It’s that gut feeling that can happen when you’re trying to make a decision about a new job, a financial deal, or needing a yes or no answer. This guidance will be felt in your stomach area and is a clear signal from the universe. Clairsentience can be a blessing when trying to navigate through your journey or when helping others. You can build and strengthen this gift by using it in your everyday life. Here are some tips:

When coming to a set of lights feel if the light is going to stay green or turn red and you will need to stop.

Tune into the energy of a person close by or far away and feel how they are — happy, sad, drained. They might need a telephone call from you.

When sitting alone, close your eyes and tune into the spirit world and sense or feel if someone is near — it might be an angel or a loved one — and ask if they have a message, which you will sense deep down.

When getting off the phone with someone about a job or issue that you need guidance with, close your eyes and feel how this decision is going to play out. Is it a yes or no?

While out driving and you come to a fork in the road — ask what is the best way for me to go? To the left or to the right? Take a moment to feel which is the right direction. Sometimes this guidance will save you from unnecessary traffic or even an accident.

Try some of these tips and build your sense of clear feeling. If you trust the feelings that you are receiving, take a chance and see where they lead you.

People who are the feelers in the world are the ones that others seem to be drawn to. Do people want to come up and just start talking to you? Maybe they’re telling you their problems and waiting for an answer? That’s because people can sense others who seem to have a greater understanding or a deeper aspect of the emotional needs of others. Use this gift to help yourself and others with giving guidance that comes from your clairsentience.

Try this when you have a big decision to make, or are trying to find a solution to a problem, either for yourself or someone else.

Sit quietly in a comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed.

Close your eyes.

Start to take some deep breaths, breathe in through the nose, exhale out of the mouth.

Breathe in and go to your heart center, and now the top of your stomach (your solar plexus). Hold for a few seconds and then exhale.

Do this until you feel centered and calm.

Now ask a question, either for yourself or for someone else.

Give yourself some time and do not feel rushed.

Now go to your solar plexus, what does your gut feeling tell you?

You can use this exercise until you receive a clear feeling of being guided, and the decision feels like the correct one for you or for another.

When I am trying to make a decision I go inside and ask myself how this makes me feel? I picture the situation in my mind and then I let my stomach (feeling) give me an answer. Do I feel like dancing around and singing, or when picturing this situation does it bring dread or a “no” feeling like this is not good?

Remember when building your psychic centers always know that when information is coming from the divine it is to help you. Spirit is always positive, even if you are getting a no, it just might mean that it’s not be the right time or in God’s timing. More importantly, learn to “go with your gut” and when to trust that gut feeling you’ve been getting.
