Ace of Base saw the signs, but have you? I’m always shocked by how many people have lived their entire lives with the gift of clairvoyance but never realized the power they possessed.
Friends and followers often reach out with a similar concern, “how do I know if I’m clairvoyant or not?” There isn’t a simple answer. But there are ways to figure it out.
I usually ask the following questions as a way to get a definite answer. Is sight your superpower? Can you see different colored lights around people?
Do you find yourself incredibly moved by sculptures, flowers, and other physical objects? Do you see glittering lights, floating shadows, or colored dots in the air?
These are some of the things that spiritually gifted clairvoyants experience. Have you been asking yourself whether or not you might be clairvoyant? If so, you came to the right place.
In this article, I’ll cover the definition of clairvoyance and talk about the most common clairvoyance signs to determine if you possess this gift. I’ve also created a test that can help you decide ‘yay or ‘nay’ when it comes to ESP vision.
What is Clairvoyance? The Definition
Clairvoyance is one of the major psychic abilities and means “clear seeing.” This psychic ability allows you to
If you are clairvoyant, you’re able to receive intuitive information through colors, images, visions, dreams, and symbols. This “inner seeing” is very subtle most of the time and will typically happen within your mind’s eye.
You’ve probably experienced Clairvoyance manifesting itself in some way during your life but didn’t recognize it for what it was!
It might be that you discredited your clairvoyant abilities as a daydream, wandering of the mind, wishful thinking, or your imagination.
It’s not strange that you confused your clairvoyant abilities with imagination or wandering of the mind. This is actually quite common!
Our intuitive abilities manifest from the same side – the right side – of the brain that houses our creative centers, including imagination. And this imagination carries the seeds of clairvoyant visions and shapes.
They’ll manifest in the same way as other creative and free expressions of your soul – with imagery.
Clairvoyant Signs
Clairvoyance doesn’t always rise up and make its first appearance in a dramatic way. You might not have an extensive dream or clear vision.
Usually, it’s much more subtle than that and there are many clairvoyant people walking around this world who don’t even know they have this super-cool psychic gift. Are you one of them? Let’s find out!
Here are the 9 most common signs that you could possess clairvoyant psychic abilities. Keep in mind that you don’t have to be able to say “yes” to all of these to be a clairvoyant psychic.
1. You see Flashes of Light and Color
Do you see glittering lights, floating shadows or colored dots in the air? Stop thinking you’re going crazy, actually far from it – you’re just gifted!
Flashes of light and color often serve as a sign that Higher Spirits, those in heaven, or other members of your spiritual team are around you. A Spirit can be looking for your attention to relay important information. You might see:
- floating orbs or colored dots in the space around
you shadows that seem like they are floating in the air- glittering or flashing lights in the space around you
- movement and twinkling lights in the corners of your eyes
The idea of Spirits might scare you, but there is nothing to be frightened about. Guidance from Angels or Spirits will normally be delivered with love, and people experience this guidance as useful, valuable, and fun.
2. Clairvoyants tend to Daydream a Lot
Are you often wandering off into your own thoughts? Do you daydream and “zone out” many times a day? Do you frequently imagine things in your head almost to the point that you are living inside your head instead of out in the real world?
If so, this can be a sign that you are clairvoyant, as this is extremely typical. It is because clairvoyance has to do with seeing and visualization is a huge part of that!
That’s why clairvoyants can imagine themselves in other situations and such visualization comes naturally to them.
3. You have Frequent and/or Vivid Dreams
If you are having dreams that feel so real to you, you have what’s called vivid dreams. These dreams are very bright with color and are so close to reality that you can pick out which is which.
I’ve found that clairvoyants are very visual people, their sight is extremely active, even in sleep. That’s why you tend to experience frequent and/or vivid dreams if you’ re clairvoyant.
Sometimes, these dreams may be visions or tell a story that provides insights on what is happening in real life.
4. You have a Deep Connection with Beautiful Things
Do you love going to a museum to look at beautiful art? Are you incredibly moved by sculptures, flowers, and other physical objects? Are you drawn to a career like graphic designs or photography?
You might assume that everyone does, but this isn’t so. Some people are much more attracted to aesthetics than others. Some love art while others couldn’t care less about a sculpture or visual representations.
If you are clairvoyant, you tend to really appreciate the beautiful things in life and love creative hobbies, like painting, drawing, or photography.
This has to do with the fact that clairvoyance is strongly related to your visual senses. So if creative hobbies rock your world, it’s a sign that you might be clairvoyant.
5. You see Things Moving in the Corner of your Eye
Do you see things out of the corner of your eyes, to the point where you are actually double-checking that you didn’t just see someone? If you do and fin that there’s
Earthbound spirits are the mental or emotional bodies of deceased people, who have not fully crossed over for some reason. Clairvoyants not only have the ability to see Spirit Guides but in some cases also see earthbound spirits.
This ability can be quite scary, but it doesn’t need to be. Embracing your gift will make this less of an uncomfortable situation when it happens.
6. Clairvoyants can see Auras or Glowing Lights around People
As a clairvoyant, you may see different colored lights around people who you come in contact with at home, work, or in public. These are the visual manifestations of auric fields, which are composed of electromagnetic energies.
They contain a lot of information about people’s lives and will help you understand how they are feeling.
If you’re not familiar with reading an aura, this exercise will help you: let the person who’s aura you’re trying to read,
7. As a Clairvoyant, you see how Things Fit Together
Can you see in your mind’s eye how something should be so that it works properly? Are you a master in solving difficult puzzles or complicated problems? Do you easily see how different pieces fit together while others are already struggling with it for hours?
Many clairvoyants find they naturally understand how things and ideas link together and again, this all comes back to how visual those with the gift of clairvoyance are.
8. You are good at Envisioning Plans in your Head
Do you often create entire scenes in your mind about the future? Do you have a special talent for creating new designs?
People with clairvoyant abilities have a strongly developed sense of sight. That’s why they can plan and envision things in their head and are able to see an end result even before the start of a project.
9. A Clairvoyant has a Great Sense of Direction
Should Siri ask you for direction instead of giving it to you? Do others so you as a human GPS?
This might be another sign that you are clairvoyant, as you can see things in a way that others can’t. Because of your strong visualization skills, travel can seem like a breeze.
How to Deal with Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is the ability to see past our traditional senses. I’ve always viewed my clairvoyance as a talent or a superpower in a sense. Being able to see beyond what others perceive as reality has many benefits.
But I’ve found that with all gifts, there are drawbacks as well. Many untrained psychics and naturally talented have difficulty dealing with their abilities at first. This isn’t uncommon or something that you should be ashamed of.
Take Pablo Picasso, for example. Although he was one of the most famous artists to have ever lived, he had trouble learning and struggled with dyslexia.
Because dyslexia is a language-based learning disorder that also has a visual component, it affected Picasso’s perception of reality.
This undoubtedly influenced his work. It is also what led him to pursue art in the first place after being labeled ‘reading blind’ and dropping out of school.
Tips to deal with your Clairvoyant Abilities
Picasso eventually mastered his gifts, and so can you. Here are a few tips for the clairvoyant with newly discovered abilities:
- Don’t doubt what you can do. If you’ve ever read the book or seen the movie, the Giver, you probably remember the scene where the main character, Jonas, realized that he had an extraordinary gift. Unlike others in his Utopian society, Jonas could see color. To everyone else, an apple (and every other object) was a single monotone hue. But Jonas was able to see beyond what was on the surface, even if just for a split second.
When Jonas’s ginger-headed friend, Fiona, came to talk to him, her hair seemed to ‘glitch.’ He could see that it was red, just like the apple he had spotted a while back. If Jonas had mentioned this to others, they would have thought he was crazy. In some instances, the same will be true for a clairvoyant. Thankfully, you, like Jonas, are not alone. He found support from ‘The Giver’ and was able to use his abilities for the greater good of his society, and so can you.
- Strengthen your third eye. One key to dealing with clairvoyance is honing your abilities and gaining as much control over them as possible. Doing this takes away some of the fear and anxiety that plagues the untrained psychic. This is because you’ll see most of your visions inside your mind’s third eye. Working on opening and strengthening this chakra center is critical.
- Practice using your abilities deliberately. If you are in a place with lots of people, try to see their auras. Close your eyes and visualize flowers, numbers, and other objects. When you see a Spirit or orb out of the corner of your eye, don’t run from it. Instead, focus on ‘seeing beyond.’
- Meditate often. Even though this is the most practice for a clairvoyant, this tip is one that has become almost cliche. It is through meditation that all people, even those who don’t consider themselves psychic, can improve their intuition and connection to self. I have known people who lived their whole lives with limited psychic ability to become spiritual rockstars after a few months of meditating. So, if you don’t know much about meditation, do some research and give it a try.
Clairvoyant Game
Here’s a simple clairvoyant game you can play:
Have your spouse or a friend place 7 or 8 items on a stable surface such as a table or countertop while you are out of the room. Once everything is in place, set a timer and walk into the room. Allow yourself 10-15 seconds to study all of the items.
Walk back out of the room and try to see the picture in your mind. Jot down as much as you can remember about every object (color, size, shape, position, etc.) and see how well you did. Techniques like this will help you strengthen your ability to visualize.
Clairvoyance Test
Feel like you need help honing in your skills? Take this clairvoyance test to see where you stand.
Take a look at the images below. See if you can get a read on them. Who are they? Or if it is an object, who did they belong to? What were they used for? Is there a sense of sadness attached? Or positive, perhaps?
Once you’ve got a good read on them, scroll down and read the bit of information for each piece.
Clairvoyance Test – Picture 1
The first picture is a necklace that was discovered two and a half miles under the sea and then restored a hundred years after the tragic sinking of the Titanic.
This Edwardian necklace was found in 1997 inside of a bag with other jewels, and although we don’t know exactly who it belongs to, it is assumed that it belonged to a victim of the terrible skinking.
Clairvoyance Test – picture 2
What kind of vibe did you get from the second image? This is a bible quilt that belonged to Harriet Powers, a Civil War-era slave from the state of Georgia.
History has it that Mrs. Powers sold her handmade quilt for five dollars after being freed but falling on hard times. However, she insisted that the person buying it learn about each bible scene stitched onto the quilt before purchasing it. It is now on display at the Smithsonian.
Clairvoyance Test – Picture 3
If you’re happy and you know it, go for a swim? This picture is of a beach in Finland–dubbed by experts as the “happiest place on earth.”
Why are people in Finland filled with so much joy? High-quality education, equal pay for both men and women, as well as good healthcare.
Clairvoyance Test – Picture 4
She may look like a sweet granny, but 86-year-old Johanna Quaas is a force to be reckoned with. She’s in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest gymnast.
Her husband is also a gymnast and together, they have three daughters. She still competes regularly and is quoted as saying “my face is old, but my heart is still young.”
Clairvoyance Test – Picture 5
eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar is not only a wealthy businessman, but he is also ranked as one of the most giving men on earth.
He is a part of the Bill Gates ‘Giving Pledge’ and has donated over a billion dollars to various charities that help with homelessness, hunger, and other causes.
Clairvoyance Test Results
This brings us to the end of our test and I’m curious as to how well you did. However, I must say that as fun as I found this exercise, it’s hard to test clairvoyance online. I know many psychics who have a hard time reading images and do better in person.
So not getting the right ‘vibes’ from the images above doesn’t mean that you’re not clairvoyant. These types of exercises are something you should practice if you’re wanting to ‘beef up’ your natural gift.
Clairvoyance Questions Answered
The response and questions I received from my readers have been wonderfully overwhelming. I am extremely grateful to have these interactions and while I am responding to every message I get, I’m answering the most frequently asked questions about clairvoyant abilities and how to strengthen them here.
What does clairvoyance mean?
Clairvoyance is an ability to gain information about a person or object through extrasensory perception. The term comes from the French word clair (clear) and voyance (vision). Clairvoyance is one of the major psychic abilities and thus translates to “clear seeing”. This psychic ability allows the tapping into the soul and the collective knowledge of all souls of the universe.
What is clairvoyance in psychology?
In psychology, the description of being Clairvoyant is slightly different than the explanation in layman’s terms. Clairvoyance is the knowledge of information that is generally not known to any other person, not obtained by any ordinary channels of reasoning and comes as a form of ESP, extrasensory perception.
How do you become a clairvoyant?
If you are clairvoyant, you’re able to receive intuitive information through colors, images, visions, dreams, and symbols. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? And the good part is that you can improve your clairvoyant abilities by following some simple steps and daily practice. Just compare it with working out: it takes time and practice to build your “psychic muscles”. Feel like you need help honing in your skills? Take this clairvoyance test to see where you stand.
How can I improve my clairvoyant abilities?
When the body and mind are relaxed, intuitive experiences happen. You can strengthen your clairvoyant abilities by observing what is happening to your body. Focus on your energy levels and pay attention to how you feel around other people. Another tool is to practice focussing on the flashes of light and color you receive. Becoming aware through meditation, journaling and mostly observing will strengthen your Clairvoyant abilities further.
Are You Clairvoyant?
In this article, I’ve covered what clairvoyance is and talked about the most common signs to determine if you possess this gift. If you don’t possess every single one of them, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have the wonderful gift of clairvoyance. It is still likely that you have clairvoyance abilities if the majority applies to you.
If you resonate with being clairvoyance, know that it is truly a gift. But first, you have to work out how to develop and master it to make the most out of your abilities. Once you’ve learned this, you can achieve a lot and live to your fullest potential!
How to Further develop your Clairvoyant Powers
Do you want to further develop your Psychic abilities? What helped me a lot was reading everything and anything I got my hands on. One of these reads was Miracle Mastery from Dave Debold.
In his online guide, he describes a training method that will awaken the psychic powers that you already possess. With very easy step-by-step exercises you’ll develop your psychic muscles to the point where they can actually work for you!
I’d really love to hear from you when you further developed your Clairvoyant abilities and you’re receiving new intuitive information from the universe.

I receive messages thru numbers, people that have passed on, tell me their life stories. People visit me before they transition.

Thanks for sharing your experience💜
Ashley says
Hi, this is going to sound crazy but I think it is important to share. Before reading this article tonight, I was talking about being clairvoyant with a friend. I have always felt spiritually gifted in this sense. Tonight while laying in bed, for no reason at all, I envisioned a praying mantis with curly hair and gold bracelets. I thought it was totally random yet funny. Later on I came across this article and felt connected to it. After reading a comment about someone who said they see images of animals and search for meanings— I did the same. A praying mantis is the symbol for being clairvoyant. I am dumb founded and I feel like the universe is giving me a massive sign.

Hi Ashley, thank you for sharing your story! Sending you lots of sparks of joy and wish you all the best on your journey ✨
katy says
I have always felt like I had some psychic abilities, but in the last few months the strength of my visions has been so powerful.
One particular thing that I get is i see animals in my minds eye and usually look for a meaning.
Also when I see animals in wildlife that are unusual to see i take this as a sign and meaning.
I get messages in my head that feel like light bulb moments.
I have always had messages but always thought I was daydreaming, then when the event happened I would remember the daydream from previous days.
I am.now starting to work out what is a message and what is a daydream which is starting to feel exhilarating.
Wille says
Hi Katy, thanks for sharing your experience????
MaybeTouched says
I wasn’t able to pick up the exact story and detail of each, but I was able to pick up the energy on each one. When I’m around people I can feel their energy, even when they are away I feel their energy if I know them well enough. I’ve had vivid dreams involving family members that were trying to tell me something only to find out it was inner thoughts they were having. Many have gotten spooked out. As a child I had an imaginary friend, I see floaters and orbs (due to migraines I thought) and sometimes I can feel energy in my house. My parents house there was a constant energy that lived there with us. I was always scared to be alone there. I thought I was nuts until a friend told me she felt an energy in the house too. I recently broke up with a boyfriend and I’ve tried channeling my senses, but they come back mixed. It was at that moment I realized that I was channeling his feelings, they are mixed emotions right now which I believe lead to our break up. I started feeling really hurt and I think I am feeling his emotions, I noticed he’s been really quite on social media when I felt this intense pain. I had this happen with me before with a family member, I became depressed and didn’t understand why. I later found out someone close to me was depressed and they would ask me to help them in my dreams.
Wille says
Hi there, thanks for sharing your story and being so open???? Based on your descriptions it sounds like you had psychic experiences.
I believe the best thing to do is learning techniques and skills to handle your psychic abilities and experiences (so that you’re not getting depressed because of somebody else’s feelings). You can try out different meditations, yoga, or perhaps learning a martial art so you work your body, mind, and soul at the same time can help you. This will bring balance.
Another thing you can do is have trust in your own intuition and ask the Universe/your Higher Powers to be led to resources that will teach you, guide you, comfort you, educate you, to handle, be in balance with and thrive with your gift
This support might help you to accept your gifts. Even if some things are very upsetting at first. Do not push your limits to the breaking point of body, mind, or soul, but challenge yourself safely and at your own pace. Be patient, loving, and kind to yourself. Your pace is not everyone else’s pace.
I hope this answered your question. Good luck and sending you lots of sparks of joy ✨
