All people have a natural ability to access psychic information, but our awareness, acceptance, and use of these abilities vary greatly. Some people have a greater focus on and interest in what might be called extrasensory perceptions. If someone has a truly strong intuitive ability, we refer to it as clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance, clairsentience, or clairsentience.

Communicating Through the Physical Body Many physical therapists, body therapists, healers, and doctors possess a high degree of physical intuition.

Common signs of clairvoyance include vibrations, gut feelings, a tingling sensation along the spine, goosebumps—and possibly pain in various parts of the body.
