Being claircognizant is a type of psychic ability where you “just know”. It comes from all the other “clair” type words, which in French means “clear”.

You might already be familiar with clairvoyance, (because that’s what I am, and that means “clear seeing”), but claircognizant people are newcomers to the psychic scene, appearing only about 35 years ago.

It most often manifests as things popping into your mind where you ‘know’, but you also don’t know HOW you know. That’s the main test for claircognizance – knowing but no clue how. If this is you, read on, because you’re’ about to feel a whole lot more reassured.

Claircognizance comes from your psychic connection to Spirit, so yay, you’re BFF’s with the Universe!

This has a flip side too, because not knowing HOW you know can cause a heap of overthinking and confusion, which is kryptonite to any psychic work and will stop your amazing downloads in its tracks.

Hint: Don’t look a gift horse (clair) in the mouth.

Instead of doing your head in wondering if that thought is just a thought or whether it has come in from spirit, feel into it. Notice the feeling that came with it. It could be just a tiny second, but see if you can notice how that thought felt. Chances are claircognizance will feel different.

Everyone is claircognizant to some extent

Because we are all souls and it comes with the package. We all have times when we just knew, but psychics can be trained to get even more through their claircognizance.

Claircognizance is sneaky too. Often a natural psychic may not even realise that’s how she’s getting her info because its always come that way. Up till she starts to discover her gifts, she might assume it’s just her own thoughts. How can you tell if you have claircognizant abilities?

Here are 6 signs you are claircognizant:

1. You have a natural quick mind.

Your friends and family will often ask you for your opinion, advice and for your ‘ideas’ on matters or challenges they’re dealing with. In other words, they like the way your mind works. They will often see you as a good decision maker and want your input. Remember those nerdy kids in school who always had their noses in a book? Yup… claircognizant!

2. You’re a whizz at working out logistics.

Not even the best of us can assemble IKEA furniture, but you do blow yourself away with the amazing ideas that drop in from nowhere. Friends and family are routinely gobsmacked, wondering where that skill came from.
For me, I can’t even operate the TV remote, no matter how many times my patient partner teaches me, but I can figure out what’s wrong with the stereo and straighten up all the spaghetti wire at the back in a flash.

3. You’re an excellent judge of character.
You have a tendency to instantaneously know if you like someone or you don’t or whether you can trust them or not.
This strong sense will come before you’ve even shaken this person’s hand. You just immediately ‘know’. You don’t know how you know, you just do.

4. You’re a ‘techie’ type.
Natural claircognizants might be secret techie types. Even though they might not actually work in a technical field, they know all the buttons on the latest iPhone and can make stuff work just by looking at it

I wouldn’t say I was techie, but somehow I taught myself Photoshop and I cam rummage about the back end of this website without blowing anything up.

5. People come to you for advice.

Like the Sage in the Psychic Strengths Quiz, claircognizants are naturally wise. Even on things, they know little about because they’ve dialled in psychically to the great Google in the Spirit World.

6. You didn’t see, hear or feel it… you just KNEW it.

This can be maddening, especially in the early days you psychic journey. Because no matter how much analysis of where the info came from the source eluded you/

You might even get so frustrated and feel like giving up because you just can’t figure out where your jaw -dropping epiphanies come from. They aren’t the vivid mental images others have, or song snippets on high rotation between your ears or even full body “ truth bumps” like the clairsentients.

Now I trust them I get because I recognise that slightly detached feeling that comes when I have a good psychic connection. It arrives out of nowhere, and now I don’t doubt it.

This is the classic sign of a claircognizant experience.

You’ll get a flash of intuition or even a whole chunk of from out of the blue. As a natural claircognizant this has happened for you a lot! You get the big picture immediately. That’s because you, shiny one, are a natural claircognizant. You have the gift of clear knowing!
