Welcome to the Spirit Rooms podcast,

In the Flow with Lori Albert,

Where we discuss tapping into our spiritual gifts,

Meditation,

And basically all aspects of spirituality.

Welcome in.

So today I get to talk to you about the next clair in our ongoing series of the Clairs of Spirit Work.

This yet again is a fun clair,

Claircognizance.

Of course I'm biased and think that they are all fun,

But this one is kind of easy to play with,

Which I will get into shortly.

Claircognizance is clear knowing,

And this is the clair that we use when we are giving psychic readings.

So I feel like here might be a good time to describe the difference between psychic and mediumship.

Mediumship is communication with souls that have passed,

Like your parents,

Your grandparents,

Friends,

Loved ones,

Anyone on the other side.

Psychic work is when I or whoever being the psychic tap into the live person's energy that's sitting across from us and advises them on the person's,

You know,

Whatever their questions are,

Whether it's their love life or a career or any situation that they might have going on that they might need just a little bit of guidance on from their higher self.

Okay,

Now here's the key to all of what I just described to you.

Okay,

So I'm going to try to say this slowly.

Okay,

All mediums who speak to deceased people are also psychic,

But not all psychics are mediums.

So I hope that makes sense.

Okay,

Because what I wanted to describe that to you all so that we could clear up any question about claircognizance,

Okay,

This clair is the psychic clair.

Okay,

But,

You know,

And you may know this to be,

You know,

Because it's clear knowing,

Okay,

Sometimes it gets a little blurred with some of the other clairs.

Okay,

You know how sometimes you just know stuff like that the phone is going to ring or that someone that you're supposed to have lunch with is going to cancel.

Okay,

That is claircognizance.

Okay,

And it's very similar to clairsentience in that it's about that feeling in your gut.

Okay,

That that stuff that you just simply know for no apparent reason.

Okay,

This is why I'm trying I'm saying that like the clairs kind of overlap a little bit.

Okay,

But let's get into how you can figure out if all of this applies to you.

Okay,

So another great example of this clair is about understanding your instincts about everything in life.

Yeah,

That sounds pretty deep,

Doesn't it?

You know how sometimes when you meet somebody,

You just know that you either really vibe with them like you just feel connected to them or sometimes you feel like you just simply do not connect with them.

Okay,

Right,

You can understand that.

Okay,

That is a great example of claircognizance or your psychic abilities,

Really,

Or sometimes you can just tell that someone is lying to you,

Oh,

That's a big one,

Right?

That's a good one.

You know,

You just know that they're lying.

That is claircognizance as well.

Another great example is sometimes people just know that something is going to happen.

A lot of people have experienced that,

Like you know that something big is going to happen like an earthquake or hurricane or whatever,

Right?

Now when all of these things first start happening and you sort of in your head had a premonition of an earthquake,

That can be pretty darn nerve-wracking,

Right?

Because it's crazy for some people to consider that maybe they are a little bit psychic.

And there might be some trepidation in that,

You know?

I've talked to a lot of people that when they first start having these premonitions,

They get overwhelmed by it because it's a massive responsibility,

You know?

And how scary is that to just know,

Especially when you don't understand what you're feeling,

Okay?

But once you start to understand that this is a true gift and that spirit has beautiful plans for you,

It kind of takes some of that pressure off.

And then add that too when you start working with your spirit guides on all of this regarding it all,

Whether it's premonitions or just knowing about situations or people,

Then you really begin to settle in kind of with the joy of the gifts of this spirit,

Okay?

So now,

All of that said,

I want you to know that you can actually practice this and work on developing your psychic abilities.

Doesn't that sound fun?

I truly believe,

I really,

Really,

Truly believe that we all have this gift.

That honestly,

It's mostly about trusting and believing and surrendering.

Yeah,

The word surrender.

Surrendering to ourselves that we actually have this gift.

And what I want to say is it's important to discuss it all with your spirit guides.

You can say,

You can talk to your spirit guides about all of this.

This is about knowing stuff.

It is,

It really is.

But when you begin to develop yourself and your gifts,

It's truly about developing that relationship of trust with your guides.

So,

A few fun little ways to practice claircognizance or your psychic abilities,

Okay?

Just a few little fun things.

Firstly,

You can simply take a deck of cards and I would start off by not actually guessing what the card is because that's going to be a little daunting because,

You know,

I mean,

When you're first starting out,

It might be difficult.

So start out just by guessing if it's red or black,

Okay?

If it's one of the,

If it's a heart or diamond or if it's a club or spade,

Okay?

As you trust in yourself and your gifts improve,

Your ability to know what that card is,

It will improve.

You will see a marked difference,

Okay?

Now here's another thing,

Another sort of little game that you can play,

Okay?

But you need somebody's help with this,

Okay?

So here's,

This is a little bit different.

So you want to ask your friend to think of a color,

Okay?

But not just think of the color,

Right?

We want them to think about everything that they can think of that is that color.

You know,

Items and food,

All sorts of stuff,

Whatever that color is,

Okay?

Like the perfect example,

This is a good example for me,

Yellow,

Okay?

I love yellow,

It's my favorite color,

Right?

But you have your friend,

Your friend and there's,

They,

Your friend picks yellow,

Okay?

So you tell them they need to pick,

You know,

Food,

You know,

Like bananas.

So your friend may start be thinking of bananas or yellow flowers,

Okay?

Or like yellow clothing,

A scarf.

Anything yellow that they can think of.

Do you remember the buttercups when we were kids?

You know,

You see the little buttercup flowers or daisies,

Okay?

So your friend thinks up all of that stuff.

Now here's the thing,

You don't want to just guess,

Okay?

You want to put some time into it,

Okay?

So close your eyes and just ask your guides to help,

Okay?

Ask your guides to help you figure it out,

Okay?

Make it fun,

You know?

Make it fun.

And if you guess wrong on any of these,

You don't lose faith.

You just keep trying and you keep playing along because that's what this is all about.

Practice,

Okay?

And as I said before,

It's about trust,

You know?

Okay,

So we aren't going to do a meditation today on all of this,

But I really just want you to know that if,

As you,

I guess I should say it that way,

As you practice this clair,

It will develop,

Okay?

And remember to meditate and talk to your guides.

Surrender to this process because that's what it is.

And trust,

Trust.

Everyone has spirit guides and it truly is about creating a trusting relationship with your guides on this,

Okay?

And be open,

You know?

Maybe as you,

You know,

As you're sleeping,

Maybe put a piece of paper and a pencil on the nightstand beside you because maybe something will come to you as you are sleeping,

Okay?

And so before you even put your feet on the floor,

Write down what you got,

Even if it's just a word,

You know,

To sort of jog your memory,

Okay?

Now here's the thing,

And you're going to find some interesting things.

As remember I said,

There's sort of some overlap here with clair sentience.

This clair also comes from your solar plexus and your gut instinct,

Okay?

So and again,

And I've talked about this a thousand times,

But like your gut instinct is your intuition,

Okay?

It's your intuition and people can stomach that a little bit easier whenever they say,

Oh yeah,

The gut instinct.

They get that because it's something that they can understand.

They've heard that,

Oh yeah,

Trust your gut,

You know?

That's what we need to learn,

Okay?

So believe,

Surrender,

And trust.

That's what you want to really take on all in your being.

Good luck.

You can do it.

Thank you for being here today.

Namaste.

Appreciate the words of wisdom, public speaking 101, saying “you know” takes away from the message

Thank you so much Lauri for the opportunity to learn from you!!! 💜🌷
