How to Strengthen Your Clairalient Abilities

Clairalience - ​clear smell, sensitivity to smell

It’s the ability to smell fragrances from the spiritual realm… flowers, perfume, pineapples (why not?)! Lots of times, Spirit uses our clairalience to let us know they’re around. You might suddenly get a whiff of pineapple upside-down cake, and know your grandma in heaven (whose signature dessert was pineapple upside-down cake) is around you. You can use the sense of smell to get intuitive insights from your angels, spirit guides and loved ones.

• Strong perfumes or scents bother you and sometimes give you a headache.
• Out of the blue, you smell the essence of a friend or loved one.
• You associate certain smells with certain memories, people, and thoughts.
• You walk into a room and feel over-powered by a particular scent.
• You smell certain odors that seem out of context and you don’t know where they are coming from.
• You notice a particular scent when someone is angry, and another scent when one is calm and yet another scent when one is happy
• When first meeting someone, you typically first notice how they smell. 

Using Clairalience in Everyday Life

• Smelling what you need to work through. For example, you may associate the smell of lavender with the third eye chakra. You may associate an earthy smell to the root chakra. 
• Smell essential oils or incense that may benefit you. For example, you may smell palo santo, letting you know to use that tools during a session. 
• You may even smell foods, salt lamps, herbs, or spices that may benefit you or someone you know.  
• You may smell something that triggers a memory 
• If you receive a scent and you are not sure why, think about the connection you have to it, or the person you are with may have a connection to it. For example, if someone told me they smelled lavender and tea, that would be a message from my grandmother. She always wore lavender perfume and always drank tea. 
• Trust in what you smell.

Become Aware of What You Smell
Taking note of all the smells you encounter during a day is important. This helps you be able to read other people based on what you smell. You may receive subtle smells that can tell you how a person is feeling. If may also tell if someone is ill. It’s also possible to smell if someone is uncomfortable, giddy, excited, annoyed, lying, or scared, etc.

Play the Smell Game
Have someone put a food, candle, essential oil or anything smelly into a box. Make sure you don't know what it is. Then try to psychically smell what is in the box.

Assign Smells to Emotions
One way to hone in on this unique ability is to assign certain smells to certain emotions. Perhaps you smell metal for anger, salt water for sadness, etc. Create your own code.

We all have different degrees of sensitivities. Becoming aware of your own personal sensitivities can help you use them to your advantage in everyday life. The term clair is latin for “clear.”  The clairs are clear, or heightened, senses that coincide with extra-sensory abilities (information about something without using the normal senses). We each typically have one or two dominant abilities. ​​
