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.
Okay.
So you know the kid in the movie,
The Sixth Sense,
When he says,
I see dead people?
That is clairvoyance.
And that is today's focus on our series of the clairs.
Clairvoyance.
Yeah,
It's probably the best known of the clairs.
And the word clairvoyance actually means clear seeing,
Which is actually pretty extraordinary if you think about it.
So I want to tell you this story.
Okay.
This story is actually one of the reasons why I am so passionate about teaching people everything I know about mediumship and spiritual development.
Obviously,
I'm assuming that you all know that I am a medium,
I'm a working medium.
I didn't start out though with a defined sense of clairvoyance.
My main clair was actually clairsentience,
Which I'm going to get into in one of the upcoming sessions.
So I thought that clairvoyance was solely about seeing apparitions of spirits.
An apparition,
In case you don't know really what that term means,
Is like when you see a ghostly full body of spirit.
Okay.
And the best way to describe it is this.
You know how when you are watching TV,
You're watching one of those shows on ghosts and stuff and the medium or the person or whatever sees what actually looks like a human being and sometimes they even mistake it for a human being,
Even though it's a spirit or a ghost if you were.
Okay.
That's what I thought clairvoyance was.
That only seeing that.
All right.
Now that's not correct.
I mean,
Well it's correct,
But it's not fully correct.
Let's just say it that way.
Okay.
Clairvoyance is about seeing apparitions,
But it's also seeing spirits where you sometimes will do.
I don't want to say seeing spirits.
Seeing shadows.
That's what I want to say.
Seeing shadows where sometimes you'll do like a double take because you think you see something we've all done.
I mean,
Well,
Most of us I think have done that,
Right?
You do a double take because you think you see something,
You know?
So yes,
It's all that.
But when you develop your mediumship,
It's also about seeing people and animals or spirits of deceased loved ones in your mind's eye.
Okay.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
I mean in your brain.
Okay.
Now,
Interestingly,
Over the many years I've been doing mediumship,
Spirit has sort of allowed me to develop my kind of own sense of clairvoyance.
So,
I mean,
It's not my own,
But I mean,
Because we're all individual,
But I mean,
To me,
It's a little bit different than what I see other mediums doing.
Okay.
Now,
When I'm doing a reading,
I will sometimes,
In addition to seeing the body of a spirit in my mind's eye,
Like their hair color or their build,
Whether it's a man or woman,
You know,
I will also though,
See like videos in my mind or maybe a scene,
Like a scene of when they were alive or pictures that were taken.
It's very cool and very weird in my mind.
But so it's that kind of stuff.
Okay.
And it's very fascinating because sometimes in my mind's eye,
I will see,
For example,
I will see a house.
This is what I'm talking about when I say video.
Okay.
For example,
I might see a house with a porch and green grass and specific flowers out and kids maybe playing on the swing,
Maybe people walking by or a special kind of card,
You know,
That will help me figure out like what the time period was.
Like I might see a car from the forties,
But I might,
But sometimes I'll see a car from like the eighties,
The 1980s,
You know,
That sort of thing.
Okay.
I might see,
Like I said,
Kids playing on a swing or all sorts of all of that stuff.
That's visual.
That is an aspect of clairvoyance.
It's in your mind's eye.
Okay.
And also I will sometimes see the spirit and them standing in front of me to sort of highlight maybe their hair.
Maybe they loved,
Maybe they love their hair.
They love their hair color,
Right?
Or maybe a brooch that they loved and that they wore all the time.
Okay.
Or shoes.
Maybe they had a special pair of shoes that they just loved,
Right?
This is all in an effort to validate to the person sitting across from me that they are who they are.
Okay.
Like maybe grandma always had to be wearing lipstick.
That was like her thing.
She was known for that,
Right?
Even in her old age,
Pulling out the lipstick and putting it on.
That was her thing.
That would be a validation of who she is.
Okay.
And she shows me that so that I can tell her loved ones sitting across from me about it and they will feel comfortable that that in fact is grandma Millie.
Always wore the same brooch.
Always was wearing lipstick,
You know,
That sort of thing.
Okay.
You don't have to work as a medium to have clairvoyance.
This is the fun part.
Okay.
Let's go back to the kid in the movie,
The Sixth Sense.
He just saw dead people,
You know,
I mean that was,
He didn't understand it.
You know,
Poor kid.
Oh,
It's just so sad,
But whatever.
Anyway,
You know,
He just saw dead people.
You may have seen shadows or apparitions.
It's true,
Right?
Now,
Here's another great example of this.
I was watching actually the other day,
A ghost hunting type TV show,
Which I don't normally watch,
But sometimes I'll just turn it on if there's nothing else going on.
Right.
And they were talking about how at this particular house,
This,
They would like people would walk by or whatever and they would see a little girl standing in the window that wasn't like alive.
Okay.
That's clairvoyance too.
Yeah.
It's honestly so,
So much about having an open heart and an open mind to it all.
Okay.
So I want to say one other thing about clairvoyance I've heard it described as sort of all aspects of mediumship work and psychic work.
You know,
They sort of it like sort of being able to tell the future and people sometimes lump it all together under the term of clairvoyance.
And I really have to believe that in that case,
People are describing it that way because they don't,
They believe that,
You know,
If you put it in one term,
People will be able to understand it more easily.
Okay.
Clairvoyance is such an incredible gift.
If you are feeling like you have seen quote unquote things or people that are spirit,
You probably have clairvoyance and you are a clairvoyant.
Now that doesn't mean that you're necessarily a medium.
Okay.
It just,
You have the propensity to that and you can open yourself up to that or you can not.
Right.
My advice,
Be open,
Be love.
Okay.
Keeping yourself in that high vibration and ask your spirit guides to help you.
If you'd like to open up these gifts,
Ask your guides.
They're always there to help.
Okay.
Very quickly,
One of the things that I learned about what I think the things that happened to me,
I guess I should say it that way,
Is that as I was meditating,
I would see things in my mind and I remember distinctly one day spirit saying to me,
Okay,
It's time to make a decision.
Do you want to develop your gifts or do you not want to develop your gifts?
And that's just the way it happened for me.
It doesn't happen the same way for everybody.
Right.
But that's just my story.
Right.
Of course I said yes,
Otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you,
You know,
But just the idea of opening yourself up.
Okay.
And so what we're going to do is a short third eye meditation to open ourselves up to whatever spirit has for us.
Okay.
So let's get ourselves comfy like usual.
Sit with,
You know,
Your back on a chair,
Get yourself comfy,
Close your eyes.
And again,
Keeping your palms up on your lap is always good to allow the flow in and out of your,
Of your being.
Let's take a couple of deep breaths in to relax.
Breathe in and release it.
One more time.
Take a nice,
Slow,
Deep breath in and exhale.
As you sit in this relaxed state,
Imagine yourself at the beach,
Walking barefoot on the sand.
No one else is around you and all that you see and hear is the ebb and flow of the water of the ocean.
It's completely relaxing.
As you consider the flow of the ocean,
Try to reflect on your own spirituality and the gifts and who you are in the world.
Begin to surrender and release yourself to the many joys and delights that spirit may have for you.
Invite in bliss,
Fulfillment,
And complete satisfaction to your entire being.
Let's just sit in the stillness for a few moments.
Enjoy.
You you you you namaste
