Have you ever heard of someone who worked in a hospital and reported smelling cancer? Or, smelt fire whilst approaching an ancient ritual ground?

While the smells don’t usually linger, and have no logical explanation, they can give a medium valuable information about a person or place.

Similar to clairgustance (tasting), clairsalience is lesser known. People with a highly developed sense of smell, because they focus on it, often become clairsalient. Focusing on any of your 5 senses often leads to developing the clairsense connected to the physical sense, for instance if I’m heavily focused on listening, then I may become clairaudient.

Humans often don't focus on their sense of smell because it's not as dominant as sight and hearing, and we don't put the same level of language and cultural emphasis on it. Additionally, our brains are wired to be more focused on visual and auditory information, and go the way we receive and process smell is less likely to capture our attention. We literally have a much smaller vocabulary to describe smell, than we do for things we see and hear, just like animals, we can smell our way if we focus on it.

Have you ever just known that something was going to happen without knowing why? Claircognizance is what many people term as “receiving downloads.”

Clairgustance is probably the least well known psychic sense, most commonly used in connection with mediums and spirits.

Clairtangency is when you feel touch from a person who isn’t touching you. It's basically touching by directing one’s energy body.

Clairsentience is based on feeling, but it’s less emotional than clairempathy (which focuses on feeling other people’s emotions).

This is probably the most popularly known clairsense. It also gets a little bit of a bad rap. Feeling other peoples’ feelings more often feels like a burden than a superpower.
