Welcome to the Soul to Earth Podcast. I'm your host, Carrie Coss, a psychic and energy healer and spiritual mentor. My intention with this podcast is to walk alongside you on your spiritual path, supporting you in accessing your innate spiritual gifts in an authentic and down-to-earth way. Making the supernatural, more natural. So last week we really talked about recognizing ourselves as spiritual beings, not just our physical selves as well as our minds, but also our spiritual and energetic realities, and changing our viewpoints and perspectives on our lives, expanding them out, and being able to really recognize how spirit connects with us and is alive and surrounds us in every part of our lives. And really how we've been conditioned, especially in Western culture, to disregard and dismiss what is known as spiritual, energetic, or any reality besides what we can see and feel and touch. And today is also a really exciting episode because we're going to be starting to talk about your primary, what I like to refer to as Claire abilities, or your intuitive or psychic abilities. And all first, the first thing I want to say, because a lot of people ask me, is everybody psychic? Or do I have all of these abilities or just a few of them? And I will say that everybody has the capacity to open up all of the abilities. Of course, it takes time, it takes practice, and it takes, I believe, a real trust and belief in what you are picking up, receiving, and also perceiving. So if you you could be the most psychic person in the world, but if you don't believe the information you're receiving, it really is going to shut the door and also it will limit the information that comes in. It's really quite practical if you think about it, because anything that we work on and develop and build is going to grow stronger within our lives and in our realities. And so giving yourself the opportunity and the option to be able to even work on a few of these abilities, which we're going to go through today, will really enhance your life and also help you tap into, I will say, a really higher perspective about your life and your life situation. It, you know, I always say psychic abilities are hollow and meaningless unless we apply this universal spiritual perspective to them, and that the information we receive, it really is serving the greater good of all concerned. And actually, that's what I teach my students as they learn to do psychic readings, is that one of the most important steps is to I I call I refer to it as a prayer, but it could for you, if that doesn't resonate for you, could be an intention or a I would say an invocation, that anytime that you tune into energy and open up your abilities, that you're really tapping in for the highest good of all concerned. It's not a parlor trick, right? So it they it's really about recognizing that you are a part of the whole of the greater universe, that you're not separate, and that as you tap into all that is and spirit around you, you're tapping into, excuse me, the collective and greater consciousness. And through my psychic abilities, are I'm able to get receive information, support, guidance, divine love, healing in order to move through the challenge that I'm dealing with. And it doesn't mean that you're dismissing your feelings or your sense the sensations you're going through. And in no way is it sugarcoating what you're dealing with in your life, but it really does help to elevate and recalibrate where you are in your life. So it's all an integral part of what I like to see as being living as a healed human. Okay, guys, so let's get into the content. This is so exciting. So I'm gonna go through this information, and and again, in my course, The Intuitive Way, we go through these abilities extensively and work on them extensively. So if it seems like something that you resonate with, feel free to check out the link that's attached to this episode, which talks more about this course. I'd love you to be a part of it. So let's talk about what are known as the Claire abilities. Now, the word Claire comes from a French word, which means to be clear. And so when we attach that word to the beginning of these abilities, they you're really what you're finding is that you're wanting as much clarity as possible with these abilities. And let's start with the one of the most well-known known ones, and that's clairvoyance. And clairvoyance is the ability to see spirit clearly, it's also known as the third eye, and um it's where you get visual images and pictures from spirit and source, and this is located if you were to look at it on a human body, right between the eyebrows at the pineal gland, there at the third eye. So clairvoyance, now, how does this work with spirit? So, what happens is as you begin to engage your clairvoyance, you begin to receive images from spirit. So you're connecting with the world around you and energy that's around you, spirits, beings, other people's auras. And as you come into contact with all of these different, you know, people, places, things, energies, you come into contact with energy fields. And as you come into contact with energy fields, several things happen for us. Either we shut down and we just ignore what we see, sense, feel, know, or we tune in and tap in. And this is where honestly you receive um images, pictures, and content that is related to the energies around you. And sometimes it can be kind of funny, actually, but often this is an example of how it works. So when I'm tuning in to someone's energy and doing a reading, and they ask about a certain situation in their lives, let's just say it's career, as I begin to tune in and open up these gifts, especially clairvoyance, I receive pictures and images about that situation. Now, often these images and pictures can be symbols, but they can also be images from people and places and locations. So it can be a lot of information. And so part of it is as you're beginning to open up and wanting to tune into energy around you. I always say, make sure to have a nice handy journal, something that you really love to write on, and a really nice pen. And as you begin to tune into energy, start writing down any images or pictures that you see. And as you begin to pay more attention to any of these abilities, naturally they'll start to open up more and you'll receive more information. There's also ways that we can talk about later that we can heal and clear out these energies, excuse me, these abilities, so that we can really begin to activate them and open them up. But I will tell you that the third eye, sixth chakra, tends to be one of those ones that for some people opens up later. And I really believe it's because a lot to do with programming from families and also a dismissiveness of people not wanting you to see what's in their lives and pick up on. Because when you have that type of psychic ability where you can really see spirit clearly from your third eye, the nobody can hide anything from you, right? Because you can you can see what the truth is. And if you think about that in your daily life, even growing up, I'm sure you've had many people you've been in relationship with, whether it be personally or professionally, who'd rather you not know the truth about them. And so we deal with all sorts of things as we move through like my training program, because often, even when you do psychic readings for people, even if they're asking you to look at certain things for them, sometimes an unconscious part of themselves will throw up like an energetic smoke screen and not want you to see it. So we also have to learn how to protect our energetic fields and be able to clear off energy so we can continue to see clearly. And um, but this is one of those gifts, clairvoyance, that um, as I said, it takes a while because of programming and fear and um a variety of things, societal expectations. But it's also one of the most wonderful ones that I feel, especially as we're tuning in and we're connecting with even lost loved ones or the energy around us or our guides and higher selves, that we can receive a lot of information. So that's clairvoyance. Next, we have clairsentience, which I mentioned before, and that's the ability to sense spirit or feel spirit. And this is also really associated with being an empath. And so, and that is, like I said, I believe the one of the most commonly recognized psychic abilities, especially with most of the students that I've worked with, when we begin to do psychic readings, most of them can say, I'm feeling this, I'm sensing this, I get the vibe that it's this, because it's actually um, I believe, one of the most comfortable ones that um that almost has to be recognized. I think also too, it's um tends to really be connected to women's energy that women pick up on vibes and energy really clearly. And I think it's because of being mothers and being mothered and needing to sense, like, you know, in our relationships, how our partner was feeling and how our boss feels. And if you think about it, when you enter into a room, don't you kind of tune into the feelings there and what the vibe is? And this is definitely clairsentience. So it's also really correlated in with the I would say the second chakra, which is two inches below the belly button. And the second chakra really is known as the center for um feeling, sensuality, sexuality, um, emotions, and um, you know, sensing sensing spirit. That's really what it's connected to. Okay, so that's clairsentience. Next, we're gonna go to claircognizance, okay? And clear cognizance is the ability to know spirit clearly. Now, when you have a developed sense of clericognizance, there's certain things you just know, there's certain things you just have conviction about. You don't have a rational explanation for why you know it, but it is just a certainty. And this is literally comes from source spirit and your higher self infusing you with uh that inner barometer and knowledge of when something is going a certain way, when something will be successful, when something will not be have a positive outcome, um, when you get when you have a conviction about people, when you have a conviction about um, I will say business ventures, really anything. When you just sometimes, I I feel like we've all embody this at one point or another, where we just get a sense. Like, I remember I was talking to one of my coaching clients a couple of weeks ago, and she is recognizing that Claire cognizance is one of her strongest abilities. And she says that that's one of those abilities that even through motherhood she used without, you know, without faulting at all on it. And it came a lot in the way of making choices for her children, like where they'd go to school, where they would live, um, you know, what activities they would be good for them as far as their personality types, and also knowing like what teachers would be a good fit for them, all these different things that where her inner mommy sense just came into conviction and she just was able to clearly embody that ability. It's a really interesting one. So Claire cognizance, okay, and then the next one we have is Claire Audience, and this will be the final one we'll talk about today. But believe me, there are many others which I will go into not during this series, but in another episode, which come into play as well. So Clare Audience is the ability to hear spirit clearly. So let's talk about this because um people, I think I've worked with people all throughout, you know, my professional experience where people said, I heard this voice and it told me to, you know, turn right, or I heard this inner voice, and it didn't sound like my voice, but it said, take this job, or go see this movie, or go to this bookstore, or pick up this book. So when we're in touch and we can hear things audibly, it is internally, I want to say, um, although spirit can speak and you can hear them audibly sometimes, but that's not as common. And so it's it's when you feel as though and you have that experience where you um hear a voice and you're and it's a it has conviction, and it might be quiet because you might not be listening to it, but it's definitely comes from source and spirit. It sometimes also can come from these other areas, your guides, it can come from your family members who are no no longer or who are in spirit, and it can come from angels, it can come um from any light for light beings, which we know to be, you know, connected in with benevolent um ETs. It can also come from I will say the elemental realm, the fairy realm. You know, there are a lot of other uh beings that are all around us, and the more tuned in you can you get, the more you can hear them. And so the this is the way that ability works. You get you can hear messages from them, or you might also hear one word, or you may you might hear something that almost sounds like a vibration or a movement of energy. Now, this this can also, as you begin to have those kind of experiences, you can tune in and you're receiving what I like to say is like a telepathic message, which we're not going to go into today, but telepathy and clear audience can also be closely associated with each other. Um, telepathy is when you uh get a message from spirit and you're just able to they're sending you information and you're just able to pick up on it and know what it is. It's like an exchange of a message or a download or codes, and it's just another way of reading um different types of energy and receiving information from different sources. So I've had many experiences with Clear Audience in my lifetime, and often it happened at these pivotal moments when I really needed, I was making a big decision and needed guidance. And so often one of my favorite ways to um connect with spirit is through um really tuning into my clear audience, and I'll talk to you a little bit about a couple ways that I do that, which are kind of I think very um easy to do and something you could start doing this afternoon. So I've had several pivotal times when spirit has spoken to me very clearly, and usually I'm it's when I'm really at a crossroads and I'm needing to make a decision, as I said. So I can think of many times when I've been in a bookstore and they've and I've heard a voice say, go to this row, pick out this book. Um, and so I I do it, you know, I'm at the point where I just trust the voice completely. And often in that case, it's it's something that I need to learn, something that I will help me um in my ascension, something that will help me grow spiritually, something that will help me with healing. But also there's been times when uh it's that voice from spirit from my guides has helped direct me as far as my life path. And so, and that has happened, especially when I tune in, um, and I've asked for direction for a career. And um sometimes my ego self doesn't want to listen to what the answer is that when I was um in my late 20s and I was asking for direction about what my career path would be. I had been completely enmeshed in my spiritual school that I was a part of, and it was I was feeling like it was time to make a change, and I was meant to go, you know, um develop a career, things like that. And so I went into meditation and very clearly, and of course, we'll break these parts down of how the gifts kind of get activated, but um I saw myself going into a school, and then I heard the voice say, you should go to cosmetology school. And it was very clear, and it and listen to me, it came out of nowhere. I just literally thought, that's crazy. Why would I do that? Like I thought I was gonna become, I I think I told you guys this, a minister and a healer. You know, I was gonna do like, I would say, more of a new thought church, very progressive kind of uh church. And the my guide said go to cosmetology school. And so literally I did not listen to it for a year. And I will tell you, that year of my life, between that moment and then to the next moment a year later, when I tapped in again and asked the same question, really things started falling apart. And and it wasn't as though, you know, I was being punished or it was negative karma. It was just I wasn't in sync with my my inner knowing, with my soul and with my higher self and my and what I like to refer to as my team, my or my soul family. And so I because I didn't listen, and so things were falling apart. The relationship I was in was falling apart, the work I was doing was not working, it was just everything was kind of falling apart. So I you know licked my wounds, put my tail between my legs, I listened again and I said, What should I do with my life? And they said the same thing. And they said, You should become a hairstylist, and one day you're open your own salon. And I just went, okay. And then that's when everything kind of came together. I was living in LA, and then I was able to go, you know, into the cosmetology school I ended up in, and everything really came together. And that was because I was in alignment. So this is something that you can do. Now, here's the thing. Many of us, because we are so distracted and we aren't listening to our inner voice, or we're just in our emotions, our feels, or we're in our intellect, or we're in our patterns, our obligations, our um our earth day-to-day life. We do not spend any time listening to our inner voice. And there is nothing you should feel bad about, guilty about, or ashamed of if you haven't. And um I often, you know, do not listen. There's days I don't listen. And um, and what happens, unfortunately, I end up feeling worse, and then I have to go back. Remember, oh yeah, I have to check in with my inner voice and my higher self, and especially for me, Claire Audience, um, and my inner knowing of guiding me what to do next in my life. Certainly, my life has practical, you know, tasks that it has in it. Certainly, I have responsibilities. Certainly, I have um, I go with, I don't disregard logic. However, especially when it comes to the most important things in my life, I check in with spirit because it's very easy to get out of that flow and just sit in the seat of your intellect. And things can really become, you know, square and linear and limited. And but the with that, there's also the constrictions, restrictions, programming, um, societal expectations, the matrix that we live in on earth, that layers into how we move through our lives. And so it should kind of can it should concern you if you're not paying attention to your inner world. It should concern you. I I just will say that's I believe why so many of us feel so disconnected and why we feel as anxious as we feel, why we feel as down, depressed, and why we feel as stuck. And again, I say this with a lot of empathy and love, and also with a lot of life experience of doing the same thing myself, that it is so easy to get stuck in what our earth life is that we don't, we just think, you know, spirit is some frivolous thing. It's some extra thing. It's kind of like, oh, I don't have time to get a massage, time to eat healthy, I don't have time to, you know, do the things that bring me joy and pleasure. And what I say to challenge that is to say, do do you know what you're missing by not tapping into source and spirit? And I'll just be really transparent here. So just like you, I've I mean, I have I've had definitely a tough time, I think, during this time, what I consider to be the last several years, especially, of heightened growth and ascension on the planet. We can certainly look at all the things that are going on in the world and think catastrophically. And what we can see is actually the truth that our planet is up-leveling and upgrading, and she's shaking off all of the density that no longer serves and is pulling her out of alignment because our earth is a consciousness and of itself as we are a consciousness and we're all connected. And so the more we're disconnected from our the alignment, which aligns everything that's energetic on this entire in our entire existence, but especially on this planet, the more we feel crappy, the more we feel out of alignment. Now, I myself, the last few days, you know, I've just I've launched this course. Uh, it's my intuitive way course. It was a big undertaking for me. And mind you, I've really had to learn how to use like the digital platform and I've had to learn to do marketing in a whole nother way over the last two and a half years, which I never saw myself doing. I mean, I was, you know, everything I've done has been somewhat online, a little bit online, but not really like completely. And so I will be honest, there's days I feel like crap, and I do not feel, you know, in alignment, and I do not feel hopeful, and I don't feel optimistic, and I feel pretty shitty. But and the only thing that heals and transforms me, certainly I love getting support from girlfriends who are spiritual or just really who are in my life and I adore and love, or mentors, or I get a healing, or I get a psychic reading, but there is nothing more healing, transformative, and I will say life-changing than when I connect in with my own soul, my higher self, my spirit guides, my team of transformation, my soul family, just like all my spiritual team, which all of us have. And you know, your soul family, your spirit team is really all you, you know, it's all connected totally to you, but it's you being able to help yourself in your now human form, help you understand, help you get the healing, help you get the under, I will say, the understanding, the compassion, the clarity, the meaning. Um, and that's why really becoming your own psychic and and in turn also reading your own Akashic records is the most transformative tool we have available to us. Because it's like we're just connecting completely in with source when we do it, or the divine or spirit, whatever you want to call it. Again, this isn't about religion for those people that get really triggered by the word divine or source, or even if I say Jesus here and there, religious institution, or any kind of dogmatic programming. This is just pure source energy. So as we learn to check in with these abilities and open them up and validate them and activate them and understand the information that's flowing to us at any given moment, and we develop, you know, day-to-day ritual for engaging with our higher selves and souls, it completely transforms our lives, makes things clear, gives us the healing we're looking for, enhances our relationships, you know, brings prosperity, brings meaning, brings purpose, all the things you could possibly want for your own life, which no one else could ever tell you, but you know what are. Okay, what those things are. Now, as we come to a close on this particular episode number two of this incredible series, um, I'm gonna do a little exercise with you guys actually. And so what that is gonna look like is I want you first of all to, if you need to put this on pause, please do. But as you put this on pause, I want you to go to just a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Give yourself 10 minutes, and with you, I would love you to bring a notepad and a pen. And I do have a thing about because I just have this thing about how things feel. I'm very tactile, right? All these years as a hairdresser, I'm very um, I'm very highly sensitive in my hands. So, whatever that is, you want that pen to feel really good in your hand. You want the journal to feel amazing, even if it's a few scraps of paper, that's okay too. But in the future, let's try it and um, you know, always have you write with a pen that just makes your hands sing and your journal makes your heart sing. So once you've done that, let's go ahead and we'll go through this exercise. Go ahead and settle in and find that favorite chair that you love and feel really comfortable in. Your body is can really relax. And you've got your journal close by and your pen. You're feeling comfortable. And what I'd like you to do is just begin taking some deep breaths in through your nose and exhale out of your mouth. And you're gonna do this several times. As you slowly begin to breathe in through your nose and exhale out of your mouth, your entire body begins to relax and feel at ease. As your breathing slows down, your body just lets go of any cars of the day, any concerns. Any distractions. Just begin to ease in. And focusing in, first of all, just on your chest area. At your heart. And you just place your hand on your heart and feel your breath going in and out of your chest. Paying attention to that heart chakra. And now I just want you to imagine that you're noticing your sit bones, your tailbone area. And from your tailbone, a really strong grounding cord, like a root, is growing. And it starts at that base of your spine. It goes all the way down through the layers of the earth. Helping you feel connected and secure in your body. And as it travels down through the layers of the earth, it then finds the center of the earth. And as it goes to the center of the earth, it just grabs onto it and anchors on. And you feel secure within that connection. You're connecting in with Mother Earth, Mother Gaia. Then you feel really safe and taken care of and t calm in the place where you're sitting. T And then you just feel this beautiful flow of earth energy coming up through your grounding cord. Flowing back up towards your body. T and as it arrives there. T you can just feel the richness of the earth and the wisdom and knowledge of Mother Earth there as well. Within your body. And then going back again to your heart chakra and just feeling that center. Now I want you to place your attention right behind your eyebrows. At that third eye center where your clairvoyance resides. And this is the center of gravity and power within our bodies is when we reside between our heart chakra and our clairvoyant center, and we sit there. It's like the seat of the soul in our bodies. We're able to observe as also and also be in touch with our psychic abilities. And then at the top of your head, at your crown, I want you to imagine that your there's your crown chakra is opening, and then a beautiful golden white energy is beginning to flow through this center. And this is the energy from source spirit. Cosmic energy. And it comes down and flows into your body all the wisdom, clarity, knowledge of spirit and source connection. And it begins to flow through your body and through the channel that aligns all of your chakras. And as it begins to flow through, it then finds the earth energy at the bottom of your first chakra, the base of your spine, and they mix together. And then they form their own flowing channels through your body. They just naturally know what to do. And then you can just imagine that you have this auric field around you. It's like a beautiful clear egg. And most of us have our energy in front of us. Forcing our way into the world. And so I just want you to imagine that this aura is gently coming around your entire body. T symmetrically. And as it flows down through your entire body around your entire body, you just begin to feel the ease and peace that comes with having a grounded aura. Being centered. And from there, I just want you to now take a little journey. We're going to be connecting with Tt. What I like to say is your primary spirit guide. We have many. But your primary guide is the one that's been traveling with you for your entire life. Who watches out for you, supports you, cares for you. Whether we're conscious of this relationship or not, it's always there. And from there, we're going to be observing some of our psychic senses. So just imagine now that you're gently again finding your center. And I just want you to imagine a field in front of you. And as you're entering onto this field, I want you to get a sense of your experience of this observing whether you how you're feeling. If you're seeing anything or if you're hearing anything. Or if you're just getting a sense of certainty and knowing. And that's going to be the exercise. It's just the observing. And throughout this exercise, you can write down notes. You can pause at any moment and write down notes of what you're seeing or sensing. Just observations. This is just notes. Just observations. And allow your mind to just relax. So here we are at this beautiful field. And ahead of you there is a door. A door of your own design. Just notice what your experience is at this door. Notice how you feel. And breathe. Fantastic. Now I want you to walk towards that door. And I want you to just place your hand on the door. T and as you place your hand on the door, T your spirit guide will be T placed on alert and know that T they will be on the other side of the door to greet you. T You've given them an invitation. And so as you slowly open the door and walk through it ahead of you, you can see a a figure. Or sense a figure. Or feel a figure. Or know this figure. And you are greeted by your spirit guide. And I want you just to notice what you observe. Feeling anything. Sensing something about them. Just write down your observations. And now I want you to ask them if they have a message for you. Any information for you. And just take your time. And once you've received whatever the message is, I'd like you to ask them what their name is. And the last thing I'd like you to ask them is if there is a symbol or something that they would like to give you that represents their relationship with you. And once you've received this symbol, this image this item. And thank them for their support. And thank them for the interaction. And now I want you to turn and walk back towards the door. T noticing if there's anything else catching your attention as you're walking out. T T and know that you can come back to this place at any time to receive guidance information, healing, wisdom, and connection. And you close the door. And you walk back to where you began. And as you do that, your body begins to gently wake up. Tt You can go ahead and Rub your hands together. Touch your feet on the ground back and forth. When you're ready, you can open your eyes. How was that for you? How did it feel? Be sure to jot down your observations. And notice as you go forward, you can write down which of these abilities came into play for you. And you can even do this right now. Did you hear? See? Sense. Or no. What information came how did the information come to you? Was it in one of those four ways? And which one did you notice was the strongest of all of those? The most prominent one? Just observe that. And maybe after the prominent one, there was a secondary one that came into play. Or did you use all of them? And as you work with this over time, each of these abilities will begin to get strengthened. And the more you trust it and the more you work on it, the more you will open up to these gifts. And it will pour into the rest of your life as you integrate it. So knowing that you have these abilities and knowing that you have the chance to be able to use them throughout your life, until our next episode, I want you to just think about how you can start applying some of this information into your life and where you can use it to help, you know, relieve stress, gain certainty, clarity, guidance, wisdom. And so this completes the episode for today. Now, next week we have an entirely new episode, and this time we're going to be working on again strengthening our relationship with our guides, but also we're going to be connecting with our own higher selves and really talking about our uh psychic abilities and how we can enhance our relationship with our higher self and again bring more of the attributes and wisdom from our higher self, which is our soul, into our lives as well. I hope you enjoyed this. I totally did. I'm ready to go meditate for another hour. That was amazing. Even just getting into that state, you can notice how much more relaxed you feel just after that exercise. Please feel free if you're getting something out of this podcast as well as this series, share it with a friend and be sure to like, follow, and subscribe. And also, if you could be so kind as leave a review about your experience, I would love to hear from you. And also remember that I would love for you to take a look at the Intuitive Way class. We are underway and getting started. It's always open, as I said before. It doesn't close. And once you sign up for the program, you can take your time going through the exercises and the lessons and also know that twice a month we meet together and we practice all of these things and also um strengthen your intuitive abilities as well as I um answer questions and support my students throughout the course. And one of the stellar things that we do is we practice doing readings together. So you will really be able to strengthen these abilities by working in small groups. And then from there as well, I encourage my students to break out into what I call circles, and that is people that you can practice these abilities, other students you can practice with regularly and consistently and show up for each other to support each other on your journey, especially if you're integrating this into your life and you want to really make um you know make it part of who you are. It's the best way to do it. It's the way that I was trained, and the reason why I feel like I have an impenetrable relationship with spirit and source. Excuse me. There's my alarm. Um, and and again, that's the way I've set up designed the entire course is to just be an immense support system for you as you're moving into your spiritual gifts. All right, you guys. I can't wait for next week. We'll see you in the next podcast.
