Below are some vocabulary terms which might help you to understand which skills you already possess, and which you'd like to strengthen.

Note that there is a distinct difference between a skill and the application of that skill.

Not all Intuition Development instructors and books will use this same vocabulary in the same way, but once you understand the basic meanings, the words chosen by the instructor or author will not matter.

Intuitive Skills:

Clairvoyance

Sometimes referred to as "psychic vision". Clairvoyance is the ability to see people, objects, scenes, words and symbols in your inner psychic eye. I also include aura reading in this category: the ability to see someone's subtle energy levels manifested in either colors or waves of light appearing to come from the body. Often when working with seekers on the telephone or online, I can see their physical body and can describe with almost complete accuracy their hair and eye color, height, body type and other physical attributes that I "see" in my psychic eye (sometimes called the Third Eye).

Clairaudience

Also referred to as "psychic hearing". Clairaudience is the ability to hear words, phrases, songs in your ears without anyone actually speaking. This is one of the most difficult skills to develop because only a small percentage of us are hearing-based naturally (about 15-20%). Writers, musicians and other communicators seem to have this ability more readily available to them because they work with words and sounds in their everyday life. Some intuitives I know hear whole dialogues in their inner psychic ear and can repeat verbatim the conversation to the seeker in a reading.

Clairsentience

Sometimes called "psychic feeling". There are two forms of clairsentience: empathy and psychic knowing. Clairsentience is the ability to "know" about someone or something without the use of the five senses for input. Clairsentience is probably the most common type of intuitive ability. (Often we refer to it as a Hunch, a Gut Reaction, or Instinct.) For instance, often in a reading, I know the emotional state of the seeker and the topic that is most important to them, without having exchanged anything more than "hello's". Yes, some of the input could be the look on their face, the way they hold their body, the tone of their voice. There's nothing wrong with using your five other senses to help the person.
