Clairvoyance is the ability to perceive information through mental images rather than through the physical eyes, often described as an inner form of "seeing." A clairvoyant psychic may see a symbol, a scene, or an image connected to a client's situation, sometimes as a brief flash, sometimes as something more detailed.

During a reading, clairvoyance often works alongside the other "clair" abilities, with an image sparking a feeling or a phrase that fills in more of the picture. It's the ability most people associate with the word "psychic," even though it's really just one of several distinct intuitive senses.
