Psychics are people who have the special power of perceiving certain things that are otherwise not perceptible through the five senses that a normal person has. That is, a psychic can see, perceive or know things that are hidden or happening at a long distance away.

My grand mom used to tell stories about this milkman who always had visions of his own mother being sick even from a thousand miles away. My grand mom remembered many such incidents of the stated person leaving for home suddenly giving notice that his mother was ill which almost all the time turned accurate. This milkman was a clairvoyant having specific psychic powers.

Thus, clairvoyants are people who can ‘see’ or ‘visualize’ things which cannot be seen by other people. These are hidden messages of the environment which the human sense organs are not equipped to pick up or it may be the vision of a person or an event happening thousands of miles away. The word clairvoyant refers to people having the psychic power of clairvoyance which literary means ‘clear viewing’.

Thus it can be concluded that clairvoyants are one type of psychics. Using clairvoyants to mean psychics as whole or using these two words synonymously is inaccurate since clairvoyants are a special subset of psychics, which includes various others kinds of powers as well.

According to Parapsychology, which the study of the existence and causes of psychic abilities, clairvoyants are people experiencing transfer of information which are immediate and direct from an external or hidden source. This is an important aspect which distinguishes it from other psychic powers such as telepathy where the information transfer happens from another individual’s mind.

Again, clairvoyants can be differentiated from psychics having the abilities of retro-cognition and precognition. While retro-cognition involves knowing about another’s past, precognitions refers to foreseeing the future. In both these instances, the psychics ‘know’ the past or the future and they don’t necessarily ‘see’ it. If a person has vision about the future and sees the events, only then he can be called a clairvoyant.

Another type of psychic, who frequently sees himself being called a clairvoyant, is one who is a medium. Mediumship, often confused with clairvoyance basically involves communicating with spirits. This communication can be done primarily via four channels. These are trance, healing, clairsensing and physical. While trance refers to communicating with other entities, healing involves receiving health benefits from a source in the higher plane. Physical channel on the other hand involves person acting as a medium in activities like turntables, etc. Only the clairsensing channel of mediumship uses the power of clairvoyance or clairaudience to see or hear respectively.

As a conclusion it can be stated that what all psychics and clairvoyants have in common is that of a special power, a gift of the sixth sense which other people do not possess. Many a times, psychics think of these abilities as a curse which prevents them from living normal lives. But one should always remember that these powers are gifted to only a chosen few amongst millions, hence it should be considered a blessing and used for the benefit of others.
