I have been doing a lot of research lately on how to further develop and fine-tune my skills as a person who can communicate with spirits. Part of that involves not only reading a ton of material, but also doing exercises working with energy, meditation, and developing my clairs. For those of you who may not be familiar with what a 'clair' is, it's the sense that allows a person to understand messages being sent to them from a spirit. The main clairs are: clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), clairsentience (clear feeling), claircognizance (clear knowing), and others, such as clairempathy, clairalience (clear smelling). Already my clairsentience, claircognizance, and clairempathy are fairly well developed. These senses are what have enabled me to receive messages. But I want to also develop my clairvoyance, as pictures can often tell much more than messages that sometimes come across as abstract. I have some clairvoyance; I'm able to tell what ghosts looked like in their human form. I can pick up on major features like height, hair color, and distinguishing features. But getting the whole picture also relies on picking up on context surrounding the subject. I know sensitive people who can see portals, for example.

One of the exercises that I've conducted to develop my clairvoyance involves visualizing my chakras. That exercise was so profound that I want to share it here. Chakras are the body's energy centers, and there are 7 of them. Each of the chakras have a color and an association. So for example it should come as no surprise that the heart chakra is associated with love. The short description of the exercise goes something like this: you ground and center yourself, and then one by one, ask which chakras wish to be visualized. During this exercise, you call up a chakra and sit with it until a picture forms in your mind that represents that chakra. I visualized five of my chakras during this exercise and the pictures I saw were absolutely breathtaking. I present them here in the order in which they were called. First I will describe the chakra (and its associated color), followed by the emotion I experienced, and then the image in my mind.
Solar Plexus (yellow): Associated with free will, self esteem, and confidence. I got a feeling of joy and happiness in this chakra. Slowly, an image developed in my mind of a field full of sunflowers. The field had soft rolling hills. The sky was a brilliant azure blue, the sun was blazing, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I could see the green stems of the sunflowers; the fully developed seeds in the center; a walking path to the right side of the field one could traverse and find themselves among the giants of the flower population. The joy and happiness exuded off of me and brought me to tears. It was overwhelming in the most incredible way.
3rd eye (indigo): Associated with intuition, imagination, and 'seeing beyond.' I was hit with a feeling of understanding. The 'seeing' in this chakra was a bit more abstract. The best way I can describe what I saw with this chakra was the ability to see energy. I saw spirit orbs and auras. To further practice my seeing (and to be fair this really is more about sensing than seeing), I imagined myself looking to see my own aura, and then that of my feline companions (yes, I know, but all living creatures have auras). My aura was green, and my cats had violet and yellow auras. It 'looks' a lot like an energy field surrounding the body. The stronger the aura, the further it radiates away from the central being.
Heart (green): Associated with love and compassion, and boy did I feel it. Sitting quietly, I asked myself to picture what love looks like. Now before I get to what I saw I'd like to ask you dear reader, what image comes to mind when you ask yourself what love looks like? Go ahead and take a moment. Did you picture a loved one? A specific event in your life? Imagine your family? Something else? I thought my image would be that of my children. After all, I can't imagine a more unconditional love than that which I have for my kids.
Imagine my surprise when the image that I developed was that of the universe in its entirety! It was like looking at one of the Hubble Deep field images. The universe - vast, all encompassing - laid out in front of me. I was absolutely astounded. I've read that the driving force in the universe isn't gravity, it's love. And maybe on some level that influenced my image. But I can't deny the profound effect this had on me. I'm still ruminating on it, and likely will be for some time.
Root (red): Security, groundedness. I can't really say if I had a clear 'feeling' on this one, but the picture that developed in my mind was that of the elements. I first sensed water and Earth, and then slowly an image began to develop. I saw a landscape that encompassed all of the elements except fire. I stood atop a hill. In front of me I saw a rock outcrop. The hill was covered in short, greenish-silver grass. The wind blew gently on my face. Down below lay a valley with a meandering river. The hills on either side of the valley slowly graded down to a plain in the distance. The sun was about 20 degrees above the horizon, and occasionally masked by banks of clouds. It created a bluish-gray tint to the clouds, and the sky was various shades of blue. This landscape wasn't one I had ever witnessed with my own eyes. Whether it is an image of a real place on Earth, I cannot say, but the image was crystal clear and very real to me.
Finally, my sacral chakra (orange) wanted in on the exercise. This chakra is typically associated with emotions, creativity, and sexuality. But interestingly enough what came through for me was a sense of knowledge and wisdom. I suppose it's fitting since I tend to live more in logic than emotion. I saw an infinite library. Bookshelves lined the wall for as far as the eye could see, and went up at least one story, if not two. I got a sense that this library in all its infinite expanse was ancient. Like it contained all of the collective knowledge of every human that has ever lived on Earth, and even knowledge beyond what we have come to understand as a species.
In front of me on a podium was an open book, old and worn. Bound in rich brown leather, its pages were yellowed and wrinkled with time. It was about the width and length of a laptop, but about 6 inches thick. I walked up to the book to see if I could read what was written on the pages. The writing was indiscriminate. I was told by spirit that the words written on the pages were not meant to be read to be understood, but sensed. I placed my hands on the pages to see if I could sense what was contained in this volume, but nothing came to me. I suspect I will be revisiting this place as my development continues, and perhaps as my senses evolve I will be able to gain access to the knowledge in that library.
I'm still digesting my experience from this exercise. I think what it was really doing was tapping deep into my subconscious. I'm pleased to know that deep down I feel joy and happiness; seek knowledge; feel grounded with the Earth, and have infinite love for everything that exists. Here I thought it was just going to be an exercise in creating pictures!
