Clairsentience Explained: Why Feeling Is the Most Powerful Clair

Is clairsentience really the “soft” metaphysical sense… or is it actually the most powerful clair of them all?

In this episode of The Unity Code, Nicole breaks down why clairsentience (clear feeling) is often misunderstood, underestimated, and yet absolutely game-changing in mediumship and intuitive development.

Most developing mediums expect spirit communication to come through clairvoyance (seeing) or clairaudience (hearing). But what happens when those turn off—and all you’re left with is feeling?

Nicole shares:

• What clairsentience really is (beyond the fluffy definitions)
• How it shows up in your body
• The difference between clairsentience and being an empath
• How physical sensations, emotions, and personality traits come through in readings
• Why traditional mediumship often misses this critical layer
• How to develop clairsentience intentionally

From feeling physical ailments to embodying personality, to understanding what death actually feels like from the other side, this episode challenges everything you think you know about psychic abilities.

If you’ve ever said:
“I’m just sensitive.”
“I don’t see or hear spirit, so maybe I’m not intuitive.”

This episode is for you.

Clairsentience isn’t weakness.
It’s embodiment.
And it might be your strongest spiritual gift.

Planting The Flag For Clairsentience

SPEAKER_00 1:11

Welcome back to the Unity Code where I am here to fight you a little bit today. That Claire Stience is the best Claire. I said it, I freaking said it, everybody. And I want to talk to you about why. And I like, oh, it's so good. Most people have it. And not a lot of people realize that this is their strongest Claire. And I want to talk about all of this with you. I want to talk about why it's hated, why there's these misperceptions, but actually talk about how fucking cool this Claire is and how you already probably use it in your everyday life. And I'm going to actually talk about that probably in the next episode after this one. So buckle up, Gidea. Whatever you got to do to get ready to be schooled on Claire Sentance. Are you ready? Here we fucking go. Okay. So very early in my mediumship career, as baby mediums always do, when we start to communicate with spirit, we expect spirit to come in through clear audience hearing and clairvoyance seeing. And so as we start connecting to spirit, myself, literally every single one of my students, they all expect spirit to start showing up visually and audibly when we are connecting with them. It was the same way for me. The first mediumship connection I ever had, I could vividly see colors. I could see the shape of an elderly woman dressed all in red. I could see her withered arms when I looked down at my arms, almost like I could see my arms, but my brain had tricked me so that I could see wrinkled old arms and like hands very thin as I looked down at my old arms. Like this is the visual thing that happened to me in my very first mediumship reading. Pretty freaking cool. She proceeded to show me her garden, her neighborhood, and I could see all of these things in relatively vivid detail. As a first reading ever, I was obviously hooked because that was cool as shit. It was like watching a movie in my fucking mind. It was amazing. A little while later, my Claire audience turned on. So not only was I seeing things very vividly, but I was also hearing words, phrases at the time I was hearing paragraphs from the other side. Like, needless to say, I literally shot up springboarded into mediumship with the two key clairs that everybody wants to work with. And it was pretty much unstoppable. Like that, this is how I got to working so fast, so quickly, is because I could see and hear literally everything that was coming in. Now, here's where it got tricky is once I had mastered these two clairs, and I was like, this is great. This is great. I'm an expert now. Do you know what Spirit fucking did? And yes, I had the ego. I had the spiritual ego. You can judge it. I moved past it. In the next sentence, you'll hear why I moved past it. Spirit decided, that's good enough, Nicole. We got to work on our other clairs. So, what did they do? They shut off my clairvoyance, they shut off my claire audience, and they turned on my clair sentience and only my clairsence. So that meant I could no longer see, I could no longer hear, and instead I had to do everything with Claire like can you even believe it? Claire sentience, which is essentially feeling everything. Now, mind you, Catholic girl from New England, we don't have feelings. Data analyst, project manager, I don't have feelings. So the fact that they turned on my Claire Sentience as the number one Claire and pretty much exclusive Claire for me to use for several months put me back in my fucking place. Okay. So it was probably needed from an ego perspective. Absolutely, yes. But most ironically, the reading that started me with Claire Sentience, because once it turned on and the rest turned off, I was like, fuck, I gotta figure this out. I don't know how to do this. So I sat and I asked Spirit to bring me in a loved one that could work with me to show me how my Claire Sentience works. They brought in, I'm gonna try my hardest not to cry, my beloved childhood cat. Right, right, there he was. Blue point Siamese. His name was Curious. Don't worry, it's none of my passwords. They brought in my beloved cat that I had from four years old until I was 17. And they literally did an entire reading with my cat using clear sentience. So I had to feel the emotions my cat had for me. I had to feel his ear that had gotten caught cut open when he had a fight with the neighborhood dog. I could feel what it felt like when he got old and his arms and muscles ached and his legs ached. And I could feel the devastation when he had to be put down. But most of all, I could feel the love that he had for me as his fucking best friend all growing up the entire time. And if that reading alone didn't prove to me the value of Clairsentience, it was incredible to feel the emotions, the perspective, the personality of my beloved cat in a way that I had never experienced in 17 years, right? I I had never, well, I guess it was 14, 14 years in my life. Never experienced it. And to be able to witness and feel that, I fucking knew what I was missing in my medium show. Because if we're talking about visuals and words and phrases and songs, yeah, they're great, they're incredible, but they tend to be used more for facts. They tend to be used more for messages, one-way information. But when you're talking about clairsentience, I mean it's it's a fucking experience. It's a feeling. Like it you can feel the energy of these departed souls in your bones. It's almost like to put it into perspective, there's that phrase that everyone uses, right? Imagine what it's like to walk a mile in their shoes. When I work with spirit, it's not like I'm watching them and I'm relaying the information. The way that the information comes in is if I am the departed person. And I know that sounds really weird, and I don't want to own that like it's weird, but it's almost like I take on the personality, the words, the phrases, I take on the attitude, I take on the swears or the lack of swears. It's like I am fully embodied in that soul to make sure I relay this information exactly the way that they would want the information relayed. They want me to make it a memorable fucking experience for my clients. They want it to feel like it is a true reunion, which is why I have those exact words on my website, a true reunion with your departed loved ones. Because it's not about the obituary checklist, it's about feeling like you're with your loved ones again. Feeling the love, feeling the energy, which can only happen if you embody the clairsentience and the feelings and the emotions and the personality of the departed loved ones that you're reading. And that's really why clairsentience is such a game changer in the metaphysical world. It changes the whole dynamic of these readings from very fact-based, which is what a lot of the spiritualist nationalist church, I'm SNU, um, how a lot of old school mediums approach this work is again the checklist, the facts, the data, the information, right? And even the messages can be really impactful and important, right? But when you add the clear sentience on top of the messages, it's not just words, it's a feeling. It's not just relaying messages of word of love. It is allowing them to feel the love that their loved ones have for them. And this is where I truly think a lot of the mediumship work is going. And you can see a very clear split, absolutely, I still do, with the people who are trained in the more traditional ways of mediumship. I mean, we're talking like Arthur Finley Collar College. Um, love them if you're listening. Love you.

SPEAKER_00 11:53

Um, I would love to go there someday, but not for that reason. Um, that's why there's this is why I don't necessarily recommend working with any of the SNU churches too much anymore either. It's just because I think that they're missing a very critical component of mediumship. And I know that they bring in Clair Sentience as a Claire to help relay information. But a lot of the information, especially as you scroll through TikTok lives, pay attention to how they're the delivering the messages. How are they delivering the evidence? Are they churning through it like it's their everyday job? Are they just like fact, fact, fact, fact, fact, no emotion, no emotion, no emotion, which is fine if that's how you want to do it. But I take my time in my readings. Like I, for a very long time, did not have anything less than 45 minutes because I want people to really just engross themselves in the energy of their departed loved ones. And so this is why this Claire is so important to me. And yet, a lot of people are not interested in learning and developing this Claire. And again, it doesn't, it's because people don't expect that Claire sentience is such an important claire because it looks very fluffy on the surface. It looks very emotional. It is a very feminine clare that a lot of people hear that it's their strongest claire and they go, oh fuck. And I'm like, Yeah, I know, I get it. I get it. I get it. It's my, it's my one of my strongest clairs as well. And yet it is the surprise and clair that I fucking love. Because here we go. Are you ready? This is the type of information that you can get with Claire Sentience because it's so big. It's so big that if you Google clairsen like modalities or clairsentient like descriptions, a lot of people have broken clairsentience down into other clairs, like claire empathy. I can't remember, like the physical clairs, like like it's uh claire uh emotions. Like it's so interesting the way that that people have decided to like sub-break down clairsentience, which is all clairsentience. So here are the wicked, freaking awesome ways that Claire Sentience shows up. So, number one is you will get emotions. Okay. So as you are connecting with departed loved ones, you're gonna start to get emotions. You might feel silly, you might feel stoic, you might feel sad, you might feel like they are bigger in personality than they are in size, right? And so you get a big sense of personality clue through clairsentience, which by the way, can't really Google personality, can you? Can't Google that. And I know like most people have probably a core subset of five, six personalities, but you can't Google that. That's not something that's generally listed on an obituary, right? You get physical ailments through clairsentience. You can identify if they had a long-term health issue. You can identify internally, maybe what was the cause of passing or a major illness that they had. If you continue to work with your clairsentience, what that looks like is saying, like, I feel like there's something in my chest, I feel like there's something in my heart, I can see that it's a very sudden heart attack that takes this person, and or I had a hole in my heart your their entire life and it was undiagnosed. Like these are the things that you can feel in clairsentience when you start to work with it more and more and more, is that it gets more and more specific. So you can use ClairSentience to identify and describe internal physical ailments. At the at a mediumship demonstration I did on Friday, I could confirm that somebody had lung cancer. Confirmed it. And I was like, I don't think you know this, but there was lung cancer. And she's like, they suspected it. I'm like, I'm telling you, it was starting. I could see just a little bit, which is, you know, you have it or you don't, but I could see, I'm like, yes, they did have lung cancer. I can see that. And just being able to give them that information when they suspected it was, you know, contributed to the cause of their loved ones passing, I was able to validate for that for them. I'm like, yep, they definitely had it. 100%. Some of the other things that you can get are also scars, tattoos, anything that's related to things on the skin. Uh, you can understand if somebody was in a wheelchair, you can feel like they are laid up in bed before they're passing, right? Like you can tap into all of these physical sensations related to their actual body throughout their life and at close to the end of their life. I think the best use of that is allowing people peace to know that their loved ones passed without pain because you can literally ask the dead person, how did you pass? What did it feel like? Did it hurt? And they can literally show you in your body what it felt like. Now, I don't recommend doing it with all of them. I have seen some passings where it was very traumatic. Please don't do that with the traumatic ones because they will show you in your body what that looked like and felt like. It's not not great. That's a trauma-inducing one as a medium. Um, but I will tell you that it's insanely cool if you haven't done this as a medium yet, to bring in a departed loved one and say, what did it feel like to die? And what nine times out of 10, actually, it's more than that. It's like 99 out of a hundred times, they will show you that they passed without pain. And immediately upon passing, they felt light and expansive. Like they were home again. And it's an incredible feeling. It's like, I know that it's the saddest part of saying goodbye to our loved ones. But as someone who gets to feel what it is like to pass, oh it's like all the weight is gone on your body, get on out of your body, and you just start floating and you feel so free. And it's like you aren't constrained by the physical body anymore. It is so incredible to feel. It is so awe-inspiring to feel. And because of things like this, that they've mostly allowed me to feel graciously. Thank you so much, departed loved ones. Um, and they've also shown me what it looks like when this happens. Like, what do they see? Like, it's so cool. It's like it's so incredible. Not to minimize the passing of your departed loved ones, but damn, is it fucking cool? It's cool. I'm not afraid. Um, some of the other things that you can get with Clairsentience, moving back to the topic at hand, you can feel again, like length of hair. Um, let me see if there's some other ones they can show me. Uh, along with physical ailments, you can also get a lot of the emotional ailments as well. So I will get like, I don't know other way to describe this worm feeling in my stomach, like a bowl full of worms in my stomach when I know there's anxiety or an ulcer. I will get that same feeling in my head if there is some sort of a mental illness. Now, that's the initial feeling. I have to go underneath it to determine: is it anxiety, is it depression, is it ADHD, is it um dementia, Alzheimer's? Like you're able to kind of go the next level down based on that initial feeling, but it allows me to know that, hey, there's something up with the brain. And then you hear feel it on the inside, which to me is mental health versus the ext outside, which would be like a brain injury or like a head injury. And so these are like when you're talking about cool fucking evidence to get, specific fucking evidence to get, clear sentience is the way to go. Let me see if there's anything else before I okay, I didn't talk about this one yet. Um, they will also literally physically change the chemistry of your body momentarily, again, because you're gonna embody their energy. So a lot of the times in readings, I will start to sweat. And if you know me, I am eternally cold, despite all of my thick thigh fat stores. Thank you to the women that had come before me that were poor and needed to store all the fats on their thighs. Looks great. I'm not complaining. I love it, but I know I got thick thighs. They don't lie. What the fuck was I talking about? I love my body. When I make fun of it, it's just it's meant to just make you giggle a little bit. I'm not I'm actually loving my body. Um, but um, what will happen is that they will make me start sweating in a reading. And whenever I start sweating in a reading, I know it ain't me. It ain't me because I don't sweat in readings. So I know that that departed loved one ran hot. Not gonna find that in the obituary, are you? I knew that they wear shorts in the winter when it's snowing. Well, they were probably getting their ice dunks, everybody. Dunkin' donuts. I know that they also make me feel cold sometimes, which is me all the time. So then I know that even with my heater on and three blankets on, there's something about they were always cold too. So they will make me physically feel the way that they lived in their body as well, which is another fantastic piece of evidence. What else will they show me? So these are examples of all of the things that you'll feel clairsentiently. Um, some wild ones that have happened, by the way, because most of the clairsentience tends to be internal emotions, feelings, physical ailments, um, the personality, those are tend to be all in internal. Once in a while, you'll get that external feeling of like maybe again, you know, something you got hit on the head, or you're sitting in a wheelchair, or you feel like you have big boots on. For example, if somebody had uh trouble walking when they got older. So, so they do make you feel certain things on your body. Oh, that's so interesting. They're just reminding me of when I was a kid and I had mono. I was, well, I was high school, freshman year high school. I got mono and I was out of if you've had mono, it's brutal. Um, I was out of school for three weeks. I was so weak. And I remember at one point, I was literally like sitting at my computer and I was looking down at my arms, and I was like, I could. Swear that these aren't even my arms. Like, that's how disconnected my energy was from my body. It's like I was looking down at my arms, being like, those aren't my arms. I could swear to God that those aren't my arms. And that's what it feels like to work clairsentiently. Is this weird feeling of like, I know my brain sees it, and logically, my brain can process that these are my arms, but energetically they feel very different. So if you're working with your clairs and you're having this experience where my brain, um, it doesn't make logical sense, but you're picking up on energy or emotion somewhere in your body, like that's a really good indicator that that's something that spirit is doing to you from a clairsentient perspective to get information across to you. Random sidebar. It's these are this is how it's fun working with spirit because when I'm talking this through with you, they will bring me memories of that time. And I'm like, oh, okay, got it. I was out of my energetic body. So that's literally why I experienced that. Got it. Ding, ding, ding. Okay. Um, and I will say clairsentiently as well, I have had physical things happen to my body in readings too. So that is not necessarily off the table. It does happen. It is much less frequent than the internal feelings, but I have, you know, I would say goosebumps are something that happened quite a bit with clairsentience. This is why you have clairsentient. Do you get goosebumps when you think of your departed loved ones? There's clairsentience, everybody. Um, I will have it feel like somebody is holding my hand in a reading. That's pretty cool. And then other times, what will happen, and this has happened physically on camera, is that Spirit actually blew in one of my ears while I was recording so much that I could swear that like someone was literally sitting next to me and going, I'm not gonna do that into the mic. I'll save your ears. And it was loud. I could feel my hair moving around. It was the weirdest freaking thing. And I was like, thank God that was on camera. So I literally, after the recording was done, I went back and rewound it. Couldn't see any of it on camera. So they didn't actually physically move my body, my hair, or physically below in my ear, but they were able to alter the energy in my body to make it feel like all of that was actually happening. Isn't that wild? Isn't that wild? And so clairsentience, as hopefully you've heard, it does so much, it communicates so much information about departed people, about the emotional physical state of them, about you know how much deep love that they have for people. And you're able to essentially experience the soul as they felt in their physical body and how much information can come with that, right? So much information in unlimited amounts of information that can come with that. Because then you can start playing with well, in this, in this case, if I'm talking about talking to your departed loved one, how do I feel? Do I feel full of love? Do I feel regretful? Oh, I feel regretful. Why do I feel regretful? Oh, oh, because I didn't get the chance to say goodbye. Oh, okay. So you can start taking these emotional breadcrumbs and bringing them down to very specific, amazing evidence and also amazing messages that your client, your sitter, needs to hear. And so this is why I'm gonna fight you, fight everybody on the internet if I need to, that Claire Sentience is actually the coolest fucking Claire that we have. And so, if you are like my students, and most of you that are my students, when we start our classes, we go through this little tiny short exercise. It's the simplest exercise in the world. And we learn that probably 90% of my students, Claire Sentience is their strongest Claire. And so I don't make them, I think, go through the process that I had to go through with my spirit team to ignore Claire Sentience for a very long time until you're forced to use your Claire Sentience. Hopefully, I save them that pain a little bit. But we work from day one making sure that you know how Claire Sentience shows up in your body so that you know when spirit is trying to communicate something. So instead of starting getting way ahead on Claire Audience, way ahead on clairvoyant, and being like 10 steps behind on clair clairsentience, we work with all of them at the same time so that you can have a very well-rounded, even development that allows you to actually go a lot faster because you're gonna learn how to layer your clairs faster as you get further down your development pipeline. Isn't that freaking cool? And so for those of you that are avoiding or loathing Claire Sentience, know that number one, I've been in your shoes. Number two, it is way cooler than you think it is. And number three, if this data-driven Catholic woman who is very, very anchored in her masculine energy, I'm working on that, if I can figure out that Claire Sentience is the coolest and best Claire, so can you. I absolutely promise you. But I would love to hear how this landed for you. I would love to hear if you learn some new things about Claire Sentience in this episode. And stay tuned because I'm gonna talk a little bit more about Claire Sentience and how it relates to being an empath, which is a very, very big thing that I will fight most of the internet on as well. So stay tuned for that episode coming up next. Thank you so much. I'd love to hear any thoughts you have, and I hope you have an amazing fucking day. Take care.
