What Do Clairvoyants Believe?
If the messages clairvoyants receive are not from friendly spirits, then where do they come from?
Clairvoyants are thought to „see clearly‟ into the lives of their clients and give them psychic information. There are a number of different ways in which these psychic abilities can be explained:
Some clairvoyants believe there is a visible vibration or frequency around the body that looks like a colourful blur. This is called the Kirilian aura and it is said to be a personal indicator of physical, mental and spiritual well-being:
A strong aura may mean that the person is healthy, open and friendly.
(17) ______ .
Auras have been caught on film on many occasions, and some Kirilian photographs of people with missing limbs actually show an aura around the space where their limb once was.
A more scientific view of clairvoyance is the belief in a „third eye‟. (18) ______ . Its usage has since diminished due to the relative safety of modem life.
This „eye‟ is able to look upon the psychic plane and see the past, present and future, or anything the clairvoyant is searching for.
The „third eye‟ is also important in several forms of spiritual healing, such as Reiki. The third eye is located at the brow Chakra.
(19) ______ . Parapsychologists have long held this view and believe that it is only our limited senses that prevent us from perceiving a fourth dimension on which time exists as a whole.
(20) ______ . In the fourth dimension, clairvoyants are able to make contact with spirits from the past and even from the future, for example, the spirits of children not yet born.
Though not all people are gifted with clairvoyance, there is no shortage of those who are. (21) ______ .
The difference between clairvoyants today is not so much measured by their psychic power, but rather by what they choose to do with their abilities for the service of other people. (22) ______ . The very nature of this gift, however, would make it very difficult for it to be used to hurt others. Many clairvoyants also believe that to use their gift for the wrong reasons, such as for financial gain, would be a betrayal.
(22) ______ .
