Clairvoyance vs. Intuition: What’s the Difference?

When navigating life’s mysteries, you may find yourself wondering: Is this my intuition, or am I experiencing clairvoyance? While both are tools for understanding unseen truths, they are distinct in their origins and applications. Let’s explore the key differences between clairvoyance and intuition, and how each can help guide your spiritual journey.

What Is Intuition?

Intuition is often referred to as a “gut feeling” or inner knowing. It’s an instinctive response to situations, emotions, or people, derived from your subconscious mind.

How It Works:

Intuition processes information you've absorbed without conscious awareness, manifesting as a hunch or feeling.

Common Experiences:

• Feeling uneasy about a decision without knowing why.
• Sensing a person’s true intentions during a first meeting.

While powerful, intuition is tied to your own experiences, emotions, and perceptions.

What Is Clairvoyance?

Clairvoyance, meaning “clear seeing,” is a psychic ability to perceive information beyond the normal senses. It involves receiving visions, symbols, or images from a higher spiritual source.

How It Works:

A clairvoyant taps into energy fields, spirit guides, or universal consciousness to uncover hidden truths or future events.

Common Experiences:

• Seeing vivid mental images during meditation or a reading.
• Having spontaneous visions about future outcomes or people’s lives.

Unlike intuition, clairvoyance often feels external, as though the information is coming from another plane of existence.

How Are They Different?

While both clairvoyance and intuition offer valuable insights, they differ in several key ways:

Source of Insight:

Intuition comes from within—your subconscious mind processes information without your conscious awareness, creating instinctive feelings. Clairvoyance, on the other hand, is an external psychic ability. It involves tapping into higher spiritual planes, spirit guides, or universal energies to gain information.

Type of Insight:

Intuition manifests as gut feelings, subtle nudges, or inner knowing, often tied to personal experiences or emotions. Clairvoyance presents itself through visual symbols, vivid mental images, or spontaneous visions about people, events, or situations.

Accessibility:

Everyone has intuition to some degree and can develop it further through self-awareness and mindfulness. Clairvoyance, however, is a specialised gift that often requires practice, guidance, or natural psychic abilities to fully access.

Can They Work Together?

Absolutely! Many clairvoyants use intuition to interpret their visions, and developing your intuition can enhance spiritual abilities. Whether you’re trusting a gut feeling or consulting a clairvoyant, both can guide you toward greater clarity and peace.
