What Does It Mean to Be Clairsentient?Ĭlairsentience comes from the French words "clair" and "sentience," which together translate to "clear feeling." According to Lizos, a clairsentient person is able to tap into the emotional energy of others and receive a clear psychic message. To better understand how clairsentience works, POPSUGAR spoke with George Lizos, a psychic healer who specializes in this esoteric art.

You've probably heard of the term "clairvoyant" - clairvoyants are believed to see things others can't, while clairsentients feel things others can't. While many people are sensitive to the emotions of others, clairsentience refers to the ability to pick up on explicit messages from the energy and feelings of those around you without having clear knowledge beforehand. However, in the metaphysical world, those intense gut feelings are sometimes viewed as a sign of clairsentience. If you've always felt like an emotional sponge, capable of absorbing the energy and feelings of those around you, you may consider yourself an empath.
