There are many different terms used out there in the marketing world for many different kinds of gifts. I am often asked about the various terms and their associations with gifts.
Psychics come in many various forms according to which gifts are strongest, and which ones they utilize in doing readings, psychic investigations, profiling, and the many other avenues of light work pursued by those with psychic gifts.
I will do my best to clarify some of the terms used today and what gifts they are associated with.
When you see the term “psychic” and “medium” put together, as in someone who simply states they are a psychic medium, this basically means that the person can both see past and/or future events through the use of one or multiple gifts, and they can also communicate through some form with the spirit world.
In the term “psychic medium” alone, there are still a great many variables. For instance, one psychic medium may be clairvoyant, empathic, and be able to see and feel ghosts. Another psychic medium may be clairaudient, and clairvoyant, and can both see and hear those who have crossed over as well as ghosts. Still another may be a remote viewer and a spirit medium, meaning he or she is able to “transport” themselves mentally to another time and experience it as if they were there, and that person is also able to communicate with those who have crossed to the other side, as well as those who may be ghosts.
Clairvoyant means clear seeing. A person who is clairvoyant may be able to see past and future events in their mind’s eye, or through dreams. They may also be able to see others from the other side when coupled with medium abilities. Someone who is clairvoyant may also see frames of information as if viewing a movie in fast forward.
Clairaudient means clear hearing. A person who is clairaudient may be able to hear past and future events or sounds related to a situation. They may also be able to hear others from the other side when coupled with medium abilities.
A Medium is someone who can communicate in some form with those who have crossed to the other side, those who may be stuck here as ghosts, or both. A Channel Medium is someone who can channel long spells of communication with spirits on the other side, or literally be a “channel” for someone from the other side.
Someone who is an empath, or empathic, literally feels the emotions of others around them or those they focus in on. They may also be able to feel physical pain of others. Empaths are able to transmit energy as well as receive it, and are the creators of our world. Because of their ability to literally “feel” others, they are found as writers, artists, musicians, counselors, psychologists, life coaches, medical intuitives, as well as other creative and healing arts. Empathic ability is always coupled with creative ability to give the empath a natural way to cope, and ground themselves.
A remote viewer is someone who can put themselves mentally in another place and time. They are able to experience the event as if they were present with all use of physical senses. Many remote viewers are found profiling for this reason.
Psychics and Psychic Mediums can have various combinations of many gifts as well as many different career paths in areas where they feel most guided to help others, or areas where others are guided to them. Different paths depend on the person’s life themes, personality, combination of gifts, and areas of interest.
