Clairvoyant Images

"Clairvoyant images are essentially made up of the same stuff as dream images and visual pictures evoked through memory, imagination and visualization. Within our minds we have what my teachers called, for lack of a better term, "the picture-making apparatus or machine."
-->This energetic apparatus seems to be located within the area of the sixth chakra, behind the physical forehead area. Many people refer to this as the third eye.
-->Clairvoyant images are derived from the brain as well as from a universal source. They can be sent through both verbal and telepathic communication to other individuals or through visualization and prayer out into the universe where they can create and manifest physical representations.
-->Clairvoyant and dream images can have both literal and symbolic connotations. For example, during several readings I have clearly seen the image of a person wearing a nurse's uniform. Sometimes I subsequently discovered that my readee was actually employed as a nurse. At other times it was clear that my client did not work as a nurse, but possessed a nurse's caring and healing nature, which was symbolized by nurse's attire.
-->One of the most difficult aspects of performing a clairvoyant reading is knowing when an image is intended as literal or symbolic. Obviously, if one misinterprets a symbolic image as a literal one, it will not only decrease the accuracy of the reading, but may cause the readee distress.
--->There are several ways to deal with the problem of how to interpret a clairvoyant image. Oftentimes, along with a clairvoyant image you will receive a bonus from your intuition or knowingness (the psychic ability located in your seventh chakra), which gives you instant awareness of what it is you are looking at. Unfortunately this is not always the case, especially for beginning clairvoyant students. So first, I recomemend that if you are confused as to whether an image should be interpreted symbolically or literally, you ask the image to show you another image that will provide more clarity. With patience and perseverance, your request will be granted more often than not.
--->...When doing a clairvoyant reading, I suggest that you get out of your logical mind and resist the urge to interpret everything you see. If the clairvoyant image is not accompanied by a clear knowing, then simply describe the image precisely as you see it. Whenever I have been wrong about information in a reading, it was due to my logical interpretation and not to the image itself.
-->Clairvoyant images are almost always pure and do not lie. There is always a reason a particular image is being generated. You don't always need to know the reason or the meaning for every image. You'll be surprised at how often your client knows exactly what is meant by the imagery you have described. Sometimes your client will not want you to know the meaning, and that is why you aren't getting the information.
---> Clairvoyant images are generated by the mind of the clairvoyant, by the mind of the person receiving the reading, or from a third party such as another spirit or one of the subjects of the reading. Clairvoyant images also come from what is sometimes referred to as the 'universal mind' or the 'collective unconscious'[a term coined by Carl Jung.] Sometimes your readee will understand the meaning of the images you are looking at before you do because the images have been borrows from their personal library rather than yours. Sometimes you won't be able to interpret an image because you are stuck inside an MEI picture.
----> Clairvoyant images are almost like living entities. They have a life of their own, and they reveal themselves in mysterious ways. As a beginning clairvoyant student, it is easy to become frustrated with the mischievious elusiveness of these enigmas. I encourage you to treat these visions as your personal teacher or guru. At times your teacher will give you an immediate response and tell you exactly what you want to know in very straightforward terms. At other times they will send you blindfolded and stumbling into the forest so that you discover your answers through direct experience.
*Some of the most helpful traits a clairvoyant can have are patience, determination, and the ability to apply these simultaneously, with grace.*"
