Clairvoyance is definitely a controversial topic-no matter to whom you speak. It goes against the grain of many religious beliefs and the reality most people understand. And while medical science has taught us much about the human mind, there is still so much that is unknown or unproven that we remain mystified about topics such as this. People who believe in the power and abilities of clairvoyants believe those people are able to tap into a sixth sense or a region of the brain not yet fully explored or understood.

Most of us have a hint of clairvoyance within us-even if we don't know it. For a few "natural" clairvoyants, there is even more than a hint. It is a gift and ability that jumps out and cannot be hidden. But for most of us, it takes a little training and development to discover how to find and cultivate our sixth sense and relieve ourselves of doubts that cause us to question the gift.

So if you want to become a clairvoyant free from doubt, the first thing you need is an openness and acceptance of psychic phenomena. As long as you remain close-minded or doubtful about such concepts, you will not be able to access your own clairvoyant potential. So try to stay open to all the possibilities.

Perhaps disbelief can be attributed to not fully understanding what it means to be clairvoyant. People who are clairvoyant have a natural ability-often called a 'sixth sense'-and are able to see or experience things that are not happening directly to them but are happening to someone else somewhere else. It usually comes as a flash of a vision or a premonition of danger regarding something that will happen in the future. It may also be a flashback to something that occurred to someone else in the past. Or it could be happening simultaneously but nowhere near the clairvoyant so that the clairvoyant has no other means of discerning that this is really happening. For instance, you may have heard stories of people who changed their plans due to a clairvoyant vision and escaped tragedy as a result.

So, in order to become a true clairvoyant free your mind of all skepticism and open your awareness to be all-encompassing. Clairvoyance is drawn from the universe around us, and in order to develop as a clairvoyant you must be able to become as one with this universe. To develop this serene sense of "oneness" you must first learn to practice meditational type exercises.

Everything and around us is part of the larger universe. When you become attuned to that larger universe and its potential, you begin to tap into what is called the universal continuum. It is here that you open yourself up to experiencing something other than what is physically occurring around you right at this very moment.

A clairvoyant free to connect with this universal pool of existence will at first often just see small particles of information and may not be able to discern any real meaning of what he or she sees. It may be even just be an emotion that is picked up, or an image of something, or something "heard" in the deep recesses of the mind. But this is the beginning. Learning to recognize it for what it is (a communication with the universal continuum) is the first step.

To be a successful clairvoyant belief is everything, for if you have any shadow of doubt, you will not be able to progress to the level of the complete clairvoyant free from worrying what they see, or feel, or hear being only in their imagination.

It can be difficult at first because we are not encouraged to give in to the full freedom of imagination. As we grow up we are steered towards realism and so there is a natural tendency to dismiss what may be considered to be fanciful thoughts.

However, if you can move past this stage, you become more attuned and receptive to a clairvoyant experience. Getting into a trancelike mode of meditation is a necessary prerequisite. This helps you eliminate feelings of doubt and any other preconceived ideas. With time and practice, you'll be able to tune in to this place deep within yourself more quickly. You will become more aware of the spiritual universe and less aware of your physical surroundings.

To better develop as a clairvoyant, free yourself from any distractions or negativity. This could be objects, people, or even places. If it contributes to your disharmony, separate yourself. Cleanse your environment from anything that is not conducive to your receptiveness.

Then learn to believe in your abilities and gifts. By believing, you will open yourself up to receiving. And in receiving you will become even more confident in your clairvoyant abilities.

If desired, you may even wish to explore some tools and techniques other clairvoyants use. Tarot cards, crystal balls, and palm readings are utilized by some clairvoyants. This, too, could be a tool that will help you explore your gifts.

Many famous individuals consult with clairvoyants regularly and in particular prior to making critical life decisions. They believe in the power of their gift. If you discover this gift in yourself, you, too, can use the gift to help others.
