One of the most common psychic abilities to develop first is clairsentience, also known as clear feeling. Many of you have experienced this on some level without realizing what it was.
A common example is when someone is telling a story, and something they say resonates as something you know to be true. Most people get goose bumps on their arms or a chill up and down their spine.
That feeling is known as an affirmation sign or psychic goose bumps. It's our spirit's way of grabbing our attention. I often get goose bumps up and down my left side when I give people reads. Whenever I do, I pause and affirm the message that is being delivered. It's my guides' way of letting me know that I just received a big psychic hit.
Clairsentient people perceive information as a sensation in their body. Some people get butterflies in the pit of their stomach while others experience a pressure in their solar plexus.
Have you ever noticed how many times people use the phrase "It was a gut feeling" or "Something in the pit of my stomach told me not to (fill in the blank)?" That means that everyday people from all walks of life are using their innate psychic abilities and calling it something else like, "Oh, I got lucky," or "what a coincidence," and the list goes on.
Like me, some people experience physical sensations of the people around them. I have learned over time what certain feelings mean and have gained confidence in conveying the impressions I get.
The first step in harnessing this ability is to pay attention to the physical sensations you experience in your body when you receive psychic hits. With a little practice, you soon will establish your unique affirmation sign.
Your affirmation sign can be used as your own personal guidance system. When used properly, it can guide you to situations that serve your highest purpose.
