Are Clairvoyant Powers Useful to a Psychic?

Of course this is a difficult question to answer precisely as I have no frame of reference nor can I make a comparison of what life may be like for me if I was not clairvoyant; but I do feel sufficiently qualified to make a few pretty educated guesses on this matter.
There are a few complicated aspects to this question and I will try here to break this question down into some important component parts.
The word clairvoyant itself derives from its Latin roots meaning 'clear sight', and having clear sight is a complex issue.

Many readers these days claim to be empathic (Empaths) which is different from being clairvoyant. Many of these readers use tools; for example tarot cards which they use to guide their readings. Divination systems, such as Tarot cards can tune into yours, the querents questions and the 'reader' who has familiarized themselves with the divination system can then interpret the meanings so divined by the system.
For the purposes of this article we need to take it as a given that divination is indeed possible, and divination itself is something which to my mind there can be no disputing.
In fact, to my mind divination of absolutely anything is indeed possible.

So with the help of their chosen tools of trade all that is required of an Empath is that they can tune in to, assess the vibes of the querents questions. This involves becoming aware of all the feelings involved within the question. It involves reading and interpreting the querent's feelings along with those of any other people who may be involved with affecting the outcome of the question/s.
As such an Empath can help you understand better your own motives and feelings as well as those of any other people who can affect the outcome of future events.
Empaths also believe that we all have free will and as such can influence and/or change a course of events. They also believe that 'nothing is set in stone' and that one of the main strengths to be gained from having one of their readings is in it's ability to empower you when armed with this in-depth knowledge and as such to enable you to have the power to change and influence any undesirable course you may currently be on.
Most readings available on the market these days involve the consultation of Empaths who may use a variety of divination tools to access the feelings involved in your current situation.

To be an accurate Empath the reader needs empathy. This may seem an obvious thing to say but there is a little more to being an accurate Empath; an accurate Empath needs to have the ability to truly understand and interpret all of the feelings involved of you and any other people involved in your current problem.
To be able to perform such a complex task well involves a certain amount of knowledge and/or experience of the feelings involved and as such the best and most accurate Empath is going to be someone who has had a vast life experience, is tolerant and non judgmental.
In fact an Empath who advises all clients to solve their problems in the same way that they too may have solved similar situations in their own lives may not be the most effective Empath for you to visit. A truly non judgmental reader will be aware that there are many ways to reach successful outcomes whereas a judgmental reader will often dispense identical advice to all querents.

I am a clairvoyant who uses divination tools very rarely. I occasionally use them (keep posted for the reasons) but most often see them as a hindrance to my gifts. Divination tools are only as good as the person who invented them and the person who interprets them and I almost always prefer to have my 'view' set as wide and unimpeded as is possible.
Having said that I am aware of just about all divination systems that there are on this planet and can use them if I so desire, or if a particular client so insists.

I define a clairvoyant as a person who 'see visions' that involve some 'nitty gritty details' such as what color the roof of your house is, how many children you have, what occupation your partner works at, what town you may live in, what color shoes you wear to work etc etc etc. An Empath may regard such ability as frivolous entertainment whereas a clairvoyant may regard an Empath as someone with no real ability. Clairvoyants perceive details that no divination system can directly tell them.
In fact it is possible to be a clairvoyant without being an Empath and I can, and am often called upon to give readings that are strictly clairvoyant in nature. This brings us to another very important question; can we change the course of our lives?
Or, to put things another way; just how much can we change the course of our lives?
To be totally truthful in answering this question I believe that the answer is not something that a human being can effectively and entirely answer, and that the correct answer involves the very stuff that humanity and the purpose of life is knitted from.
I oscillate between believing that every single moment of our lives in pre-ordained and in believing we may have some power to enact certain changes or to change anything and everything.

The answer I most often believe is that there are some important events that are pre-ordained, fated if you may, that cannot be changed but can be 'tinkered with'.
I explain this thus; there are particular times in your life that you are destined to do something important such as marry, travel, move, buy a car, get a new job, get a new relationship etc etc but at these times there is an element of choice. For instance you have choices between lovers, jobs, travel destination etc etc.

And I also know that we come into this life with certain, pre-ordained lessons to learn and that life, again and again and again will throw us an opportunity to learn and grow. It throws us the same problem over and over and over again until we learn from it and move on and this, I believe is where we have power. We have the power to learn, to grow and gain, to share and to move on.
Life gives us certain puzzles to solve, but the roadmap is something we ourselves need to figure out with the help of the most appropriate people and fellow travelers.

Many people, also including many readers who use divination tools that require them to be a good Empath would argue that true clairvoyance is nothing more than a party trick designed to entertain and amaze people that is based on an ability to extrapolate visions from life circumstances and to 'see' future events from basing their visions upon the feelings inherent within the situation.
Whilst this sounds plausible I could give to you thousands of instances where this cannot have been possible.
But this may be fodder for further articles; my purpose in coming here this morning was to tell you about something that happened to me last night but in qualifying and prefacing what I really wanted to say I became bogged down in giving you sufficient background information.
Having now defined more clearly what a reader who is strictly clairvoyant is and what an Empath who is not clairvoyant is perhaps you can also see that a good clairvoyant needs to also be an Empath; but an Empath doesn't need to be clairvoyant and very often isn't.

And still I need to touch upon another aspect; sometimes also referred to as left brain versus right brain, heart versus head, intellect versus emotions, science versus belief, analysis versus knowing, and subjectivity versus objectivity etal.
I have not ever met anyone yet who I could say is completely one way or another but instead I would say we are all composed of various contradictions which are the very stuff our lives and lessons are made up of.
I'm concerned that this article is a bit long but I can see no successful way of splitting it up into separately coherent parts.

I'm a clairvoyant who, by nature is an analytical person and this I believe has worked for and against me. On the one hand it can and has made me pretty impressive as a visionary clairvoyant and psychic. Because I am by nature so analytical I can probe fairly deeply and also be aware that 'many roads can lead to Rome' which also helps me in having a wide enough view to be more accurate in interpreting visions.
But the way in which this can also work against me is in questioning my 'gut' and perhaps I am more prone to this than many other readers and believers. Though it is true and in analyzing and questioning 'gut' I have learnt much.
And I sometimes joke that there is no person who is truly more skeptical about psychic abilities than another psychic.

It may come as a surprise to most of you that psychics often do not trust and so often actually do question their own 'gut feelings'. I put this down to the fact that we also are human with lessons of our own and that as such we duck and dive and deny just as much as everyone else does. A psychic needs to consult another good psychic just as much as anyone else might.
I always maintain that I know I have given a good reading if I have managed to tap people into the 'own knowingness', otherwise known as their own 'gut'.
Some psychics and some people in general are better at trusting 'their gut'. And that 'gut' I am talking of truly does know everything there is to know. This, I know to be a wide and sweeping statement but also it is fodder for further articles.
And in choosing for yourself the best psychic, clairvoyant, Empath or reader; the one who has better access to 'gut' and who has the best success in tapping you into your own 'gut' in advising you what may be the best for you is the one that if you manage to find you should also stick with.
So a good psychic is not necessarily a person who can or does use their own 'gut' to enhance their own lives. But they are a person who should do so.

I believe that my life is very influenced by my psychic abilities but that when it comes to really important things I often question or act at variance with 'gut', and all psychics can give you examples of when they themselves have ignored 'gut' consequently bringing about another instance of 'you'll get that lesson thrown at you again later being that you piked out on it this time'.

I could give many, many examples of this but here will give only one; when I conceived my daughter I 'saw' her enter my aura and body and, right at that moment I knew that I had conceived a girl child. Though most of the time I knew and accepted that I was pregnant and had conceived a girl there were times when, for whatever reasons I was feeling more analytical, less secure in my 'gut' and even wondered if instead I was carrying a boy and that the name given and all the items and clothes bought were therefore wrong. The fact that my clairvoyant family also saw a girl child did little for me during my analytical moments, which I was prone to having until, in real time I gave birth to my daughter.

So finally I feel that I have now given sufficient background info to be able to share and tell you what happened to me last night. I may have been given a definitive lesson in 'gut' listening (notice I say may LOL);
One of my 'adopted' daughters who also is a friend and has been a colleague was in a really bad and life threatening scenario. She was having a crisis and was drinking (unusual for her) and talking about suicide. Now from an objective point of view - a view from where I have studied the mechanics of suicidal behaviours which as a matter of course is something all prison workers in this part of the world are expected to undergo training in it was very highly likely that she would do so. Without going into too much background detail suffice to say that I think the 'objectivists' may have given something like a >95% likelihood.
If she had done so she would have left behind her three young daughters and parents whose life would be drastically affected, to say the very least.
So I found myself navigating through this.
Her own mother is currently overseas and as such was unavailable to help in any way. I didn't have her number and rang the mental health hospital where my friend has a history to ask them to call her mother to get her to call me. In doing do I of course flagged the system and raised alarm bells.
I considered calling out the mental health emergency service. If I had done this her young daughter would have been taken into protective foster care which would have complicated her life later. And most likely would have been extremely traumatic for her, the family in general and for the child not to say being made even more complicated by her recent separation from a violent husband currently attempting child access.
Having had personal experience with Child Protective Services both through my work and through friends and people in my personal life I knew that this was a serious and heavy factor to attempt to balance into this equation.

I managed to find a niece of hers to go round and stay with her. I duly instructed the niece that if she was as drunk as she had told me she was that she would be in danger of poisoning herself in a very dangerous way due to the interaction of prescribed medications and the alcohol mixture and that she should call an ambulance if my friend became ill and to also stay with her all through the night.
Having instructed my friend's niece in such a way when the hospital rang me back to tell me that they couldn't reach her mother who I thought could give me more appropriate instructions I then told them what I had done and based on the strength of what I had arranged with the hospital then decided to not send the emergency team around to collect her hence resulting in not putting her youngest daughter into protective custody nor my friend into hospital which could very likely have jeopardized her job also.
The last phone call I got from my friend was around midnight when she told me that she still planned on taking an overdose of her meds and that she had sent her niece home.

As a byline some people will say that someone who threatens suicide is not a person who does so and that hence should not be worried about. This is a suicide myth and just about all people who successfully suicide either have a history of previous failed attempts or of threats to do so.

It was a hard call. I was in a dilemma trying to weigh everything up. My 'gut' told me she would still be alive in the morning if I did nothing. Yet I was fighting against my training, my knowledge at the same time as questioning the accuracy of my own 'gut'.
I decided to give my 'gut' a try seeing that the consequences of going against it could be so undesirable.
It was difficult to sleep and I had a restless night knowing that my friend's life and future may be in my own hands.
She is still alive and hopefully through the worst now.
She is expected any minute now to come here and get some homeopathic flower remedies and some bush medicines.

Keep posted.
