I saw a spirit! Now what? — YouTube from the CEC Library

When we see a spirit through clairvoyance, what should we do? During a practice, generally performed in front of a mirror, we may perceive a consciousness taking shape clearly. At that moment, a question arises: what should we do? An initial approach is to ask that consciousness, "Who are you?" At the Center for Consciousness Studies, the practice of clairvoyance is seen as a development of our spiritual abilities and a path to self-discovery and understanding the spirituality around us.

It is important to understand who the spirits that accompany us are and why they are with us—whether out of dependence or to provide help. Asking the consciousness "Who are you?" can be a first step. The answer may arise in different ways: mentally, audibly, or even visually, as if the consciousness's mouth were moving. Sometimes there is no immediate answer. With practice, we learn to interpret this information. If you feel or perceive an answer, you can ask another question: "Why do you accompany me?" It is important to sense which questions are coherent and make sense to you. Asking questions during the practice of clairvoyance is not mandatory, but they can be useful in the process of self-discovery.

In addition to asking questions, it is possible simply to observe and pay attention to the emotions and perceptions that arise through contact with the consciousness. This information also enriches spiritual study and understanding.
