Deciphering the Meanings of Psychic Terms
There are so many different psychic terms being used to describe different types of psychic abilities these days, it is easy for one trying to identify their natural psychic abilities, as well as those searching for a psychic’s help, to become very confused about the meanings of psychic terms!
Here are some meanings of psychic terms being used today, and what they mean:
Intuition – having “feelings” that one should or should not do something in question. Many describe intuition as having “feelings” about something in particular.
Clairvoyant – Clear seeing – Clairvoyant People can see fast-moving pictures, or stills of events, situations, circumstances, and people in their mind’s eye.
Clairaudient – Clear hearing – Clairaudient People can hear information and messages from spirits and/or ghosts, either audibly or within their mind.
Medium – One who can communicate with those who are in spirit form, and/or ghost form, or any other form than the plane we live on.
The communication can be varied in psychic mediumship depending on what psychic abilities accompany the gift of mediumship, meaning they may see images, hear voices, be given signs, actually see and/or hear the spirit or ghost, or whatever can be used by the ghost or spirit to help them get the right message passed on, through mediumship combined with other gifts.
Physical Medium or Channel Medium – One who is a “channel” can use their physical body for spirits to speak through them, through talking, writing, etc.
Other Meanings of Psychic Terms
Psychic – The word psychic seems to be a “cover-all” term for those with many different and varied gifts.
Empath – There are two common types of empaths as well as several other types. The two most common are those who feel others’ emotional energy, those who feel others’ physical pain, and those who are both types. Empaths absorb energy and are also able to project energy.
Other types of empaths are flora empaths (feel plants, flowers, etc), fauna empaths (feel animals), geo empaths (earth), medium empaths (feel ghosts and spirits), and those who are highly sensitive (often called HSPs) who carry all the types of empathy.
Clairsentient – Clear feeling – one who is clairsentient can receive information through both emotional and physical sensations. The information may be received through “feeling” the information. Many also use this term to describe the gift that helps the psychic “just know” from receiving a “feeling”.
Claircognizant – Clear knowing – One who is claircognizant will have a “knowing” of information without being given the information in any other way. Many with this gift may feel like information “just shows up” in their mind, and they often describe it as if they have received a download.
Clairgustance – Clairgustance is a psychic ability that refers to the ability to taste things without eating them. For instance, someone with this ability may suddenly taste strawberry cake because the client’s grandmother made strawberry cake for every birthday, when it is combined with mediumship during a medium reading, where the grandmother is deceased.
Clairalience – Clairalience is a psychic ability where the information is received by smell. This psychic ability will allow the psychic medium to smell Grandma’s strawberry cake.
Telepathic – The ability to perceive others’ thoughts and communicate with others through thought.
The term, Psychic Medium, in a sense, is generally a “throw all together” term in the realm of meanings of psychic terms. In essence, one who may call themselves a “psychic medium”, has the gift of mediumship combined with various other psychic abilities.
Often, when a psychic medium has many different psychic abilities accompanying medium abilities, they will simply use the term “psychic medium” as it may be less confusing for those seeking their services, and much easier than listing each ability.
Psychics tend to use terms they feel best describe their unique abilities as well as terms they are comfortable calling themselves, thus, there are a lot of different psychic terms and combinations of terms being used.
Regardless of which terms are used to describe the psychic’s ability, the meanings of psychic terms will vary based on the abilities of the psychic.
The meanings have everything to do with the way the psychic receives the information, whether it be by seeing, hearing, or receiving the information through some other sense.
