Want to heighten your intuitive sense of taste and get energetic information through one of your under-used senses? Learn how to develop your clairgustance.
Clairgustance (also spelled clairgustience sometimes) is also known as clear tasting. It’s your intuitive sense of taste. Tastes from Spirit? Really? In short, yes.
Information from Spirit, or our own intuition, can come to us through our all of our psychic senses, including taste.
The other ways we can receive energetic information include our inner vision (clairvoyance), hearing (clairaudience), knowing (claircognizance), feeling (clairsentience) and smell (clairalience).
Clairgustance experiences
What tastes can you pick up on energetically? Pretty much anything you can taste with your physical tongue and taste buds. Tastes can be bitter, sweet, salty or sour. The taste is usually experienced just as if you had that substance in your mouth, even though you don’t.
Often, clairgustance experiences are accompanied by other clairsenses, especially clairalience (clear smelling). For example, the smell and taste of baked goods.
Remember, like with other intuitive senses, the information will come through your own filters — it will taste like a something you’ve already been exposed to at some point in your life. It’s hard to know what a certain taste is if you’ve never experienced it before, so Spirit tends to use something you can comprehend.
The purpose of clairgustance
Why is clairgustance an important psychic sense?
While intuitive clear tasting isn’t as sexy as clearly hearing words and names from Spirit or seeing clear images and being able to describe a departed loved one, it’s still very useful.
Identifying a loved one in Spirit
Mediums receive intuitive information from Spirit and folks on the other side of life as a way of identifying that person. Clairgustance is one way of doing that.
Tastes can come through as a favorite food of the person in Spirit. For example, say you’re connecting to Aunt Bertha and get the strong taste of lemon and it turns out that Aunt Bertha was famed for her lemon scones, that’s identifying evidential information that it’s really Aunt Bertha coming through. Or a taste of tobacco or nicotine could indicate they were a smoker.
Identifying the way someone died
Clairgustant information can provide clues as to how someone died — a bitter chemical taste from drugs or poison, the iron-rich tang of blood, or the acrid bile of vomit can provide evidential information.
That may sound unpleasant to experience, but I’ve found these kinds of taste experiences aren’t usually too overwhelming. Just enough to get the message across, and then I ask Spirit to remove that flavor from my mouth.
Knowing what you need to be well
An intuitive message from Spirit could also contain information about foods or supplements that may be beneficial to your health.
Tasting a certain food or medicine can provide insight on your healing journey or that of your client. The tates of citrus, for instance, might indicate the need for more vitamin C. Or the crunch of salad may mean that you need more vegetables or raw foods in your diet. You’d likely need to ask Spirit for more clarifying information, but it can give you something to start with.
How to develop your clairgustance
Just as developing your other physical senses helps you to develop their related intuitive or psychic senses, developing your sense of taste will help unfold your clairgustance abilities.
When you eat, do you savor the different flavors and tastes of each mouthful? Can you pick out different spices and seasonings in a particular dish? Or are your taste buds turned down or off?
Here are some tips to help you turn your tastebuds back on:
Be aware of what you eat
Avoid foods that are overly salty, sweet or spicy. Salt and sugar mask the underlying flavors of food. A little salt or sugar can bring out and enhance a food’s flavor, but too much becomes overpowering. It’s like a rock band where all you can hear are the drums because none of the other instruments are plugged in.
If you tend to eat a lot of sugary foods, add extra salt to your food (after it’s already been prepared with salt), or add hot sauce to almost everything you eat, cut back.
Eat a variety of flavors and textures. Allow your tastebuds to experience a plethora of flavors. The more types of tastes you experience, the more information you’re putting in your databanks, which gives Spirit more to work with when sending you clairgustant information.
Practice mindful eating. As you eat your next meal, observe how the tastes are interacting with your mind. How do you feel? What are you thinking? Are you eating quickly or slowly? Then feel for
You can receive interesting and useful information about the foods you’re eating and how they relate to and react with your body. Allow your intuition to speak and follow what you receive (yes, this may mean making changes to your diet, but it’s for your highest good).
