The Clair-Senses are often thought to be the basis of psychic abilities or impressions. Most people have a Clair Sense that seems like it’s the strongest. Do you know what your strongest Clair Sense is? Clairvoyance — Clear seeing. People who are clairvoyant either see pictures or short 'movies' in their mind's eye. They might also pick up on symbols in their environment. Clairaudient — Clear hearing. People who are clairaudient might hear messages from their guides, spirits, or pick up messages in songs and conversations. Claircognizant — Clear knowing. People who are claircognizant often just 'know' things, as if they get information or understanding out of thin air. Clairsentient — Clear feeling. People who are clairsentient can feel the emotions or feelings of others. They might pick up the energy of a room or even historical energy in super charged situations. There are also Clairsenses related to taste (Clairgustance) and smell (Clairalience).

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July (if you celebrate)! Europe has made it out of its first heatwave, and the cooler temps are magnificent! Today’s exercise is to pick a card and share it — plus your interpretation— with the group!

One of the things that might come up for you as a symbolic or totally Clairsentient experience is temperature. We’ve all seen the movies that show a room getting really cold as a sign that a spirit has entered the area. And we know that coldness can indicate indifference and/or outright disdain for someone. And then there’s hot. It’s passionate, fiery, turned on, aggressive. Hot can refer to the pits of Hell or something so attractive that you might get burned. Warm and cool are similar in nature, but less intense. The different qualities can show up in color palates, too. Reds, yellows, and oranges signify warmth and heat while blues and greens are often cooler colors. Color can have an impact not only on our interpretation of an image, but also on our mood and attitude — but we’ll talk more about that tomorrow! What do you think about temperature in terms of intuition and symbolism? Do you have any ideas to share?

You know, you can pull a card from your tarot deck and allow that to be your focus. You don't have to pull blindly; you can intentionally pull certain cards to bring that energy into your life. If you're looking for more optimism, positive energy, and luck, for example, you can pull the Sun from the deck as your card of the day. Meditate on what it means to you and how you can see/bring more light into your life. What card would you use to focus your energy today?
