The 9 'clairs' are different types of intuitive ability - like a sixth sense.
Some refer to these as psychic abilities, others as intuition presenting itself using different senses.
Clairvoyance (clear seeing)
People with this intuitive ability often visualise images and pictures, possibly during sleep with vivid dreams, meditation or daydreaming with mental images or mini-movies.
Clairaudience (clear hearing)
People with this intuitive ability may hear voices or messages, songs, sounds, audio signals more than just inner dialogue.
Claircognizance (clear knowing)
Claircognizance is a sudden knowing of something to be true, like an instant insight or mental download.
Clairintellect (clear intellect)
Clairintellect is thoughts that can manifest as your intuition - epiphanies.
Clairempathy (clear emotion)
Clairempathy is sensing other people's emotions, thoughts or symptoms - and awareness of emotional energy.
Clairsentience (clear physical feeling)
Clairsentience is similar to Clairempathy, but more physical. It's actually feeling in your body that others are experiencing, like the pain or sensations of others.
Clairtangecy (clear touching)
Clairtangency is brought about by touch. Touching certain objects or people might conjure images, perceptions and insights about them.
Clairalience (clear smelling)
Clairalience is insight through the perception of smell, although not necessarily the actual smell of something.
Clairgustance (clear tasting)
Clairgustance is a strange one - sensing things through taste without having that physical source in your mouth.
At times when you’re sad, the answer isn’t always a cry or a conversation with a loved one. Sometimes...sometimes it’s just a glass of wine, your favourite scented candles, strawberry waffles, and a book of quotes from the Bhagavad Gita.
This particular bottle of white wine was something I came across at the NYE celebration this time and the person to bring it was my textbook arch nemesis from high school. The last lot of French vanilla candles were bought using my credit card reward points because after you spend 10,000 bucks, capitalism will reward you with 100. And as for the waffles, wait, let me take a bite.
Fucking delicious.
Made me moan the way the last guy I was with could not. And the quotes from the Gita! Want to go through some with me?
Information makes our mind fat, application makes it fit. Be mentally fit, not fat.
Don’t care so much for the desire that it doesn’t care for the desirer.
Information does not have to be new to be helpful - it just has to be timely.
These are mostly interpretations of the author of the verses from the Gita. Oh, did I mention that I ordered strawberry waffles with nutella ones? Because the combination is to die for. No, I am not satisfied by a little. I want more and I want to mix and match to suit my taste. Maybe that’s why I fail with people; I cannot mix and match people’s hearts, skills, and smiles.
When I was moving into this apartment, my first, I told you I can’t wait to buy wine glasses. How that would be so adult. I said I’d like to get two. And you told me at least get four. wouldn’t you want to entertain multiple friends at once?
You were just getting to know me then so you didn’t know that I didn’t do groups; that I was a one-on-one let’s see into each other souls and comfort each other as the world burns kind of person. Intense, yes. I am intense. And a lot of the times I am upset that people cannot deal with this intensity and leave or cannot match this intensity and I have to leave. But can I?
Am I not feeling so miserable and having such a hard time because I too have not learned how to deal with my intensity? Or the fluctuations in the same? From 100 to zero without a warning, no foretelling, no twitching of the eyebrow. Shouldn’t I, out of anyone else, out of everyone else, shouldn’t I first learn to manage my intensity? Yes, yes, yes. But how?
By doing this. By spending time by myself without the urge to reach out to someone, or scroll on my phone, or binge watch something, or step out of my house for any kind of distraction to come occupy me. Mindfulness, essentially. It all feels messed up, like the odds are stacked against me. Like no matter how hard I try, this life is nothing but a Sisyphean task. A Sisyphean task with a twist.
There is not just one boulder that I have to roll up the hill. There are half a dozen. And once I reach the top, there is no telling which one is going to roll down the next. There is this continuous shifting and configuring to enable the rolling up of one specific type of boulder. It’s exhausting yes, but also so very confusing.
I’ll end this now. Go work on my website or maybe lie down for some time. But here’s another quote from the book that may make you feel slightly better like I do perhaps feel:
Whenever things seem to fall apart, calm yourself by remembering times when things have fallen in place — destiny is not against you.
How you live is your choice. Sure, you cannot control the circumstances of your life but never forget; you decide your response to the happenings in your life. Life continues unabated whether you live it or just endure it. Have you grown comfortable in your discontent, trapped by the dark details of your life? Focus on Seeing the big picture of your potential life rather than getting stuck in the details of insignificant disjointed pieces. What is your inner wisdom telling you? Recognize that the mind is your magic wand. It is a truth many fail to grasp, that is, your thoughts are the building blocks of creation. This is why it is so important to cultivate a positive mindset that sees opportunities where a negative mindset sees obstacles.
Mastering the art of policing your thoughts frees you from the bondage of being a slave to the dictates of your emotions and others. Know for sure that when you live and move in love you surrender to the universal flow of life. Know that by rooting yourself in love will give you the wisdom and the power to ‘Let Go and let God.’ for you understand that your hurt acts as a furnace that burns away the dross allowing you to love again and again, with generous abandonment.

Everyday life presents us with many opportunities for learning & growth. Each day we all accomplish something. These opportunities begin the moment we get up to start a new day.
Living each day mindfully & taking time to be aware of our accomplishments - no matter how small they may seem - gives meaning to our lives.
Whether it’s getting up in the morning, taking the kids to school, going to work, attending classes, making or sharing a meal with a friend or loved one, listening to understand someone instead of listening to respond, identifying an A.N.T. (Automatic Negative Thought) to restructure, or smiling at someone you encountered on your daily journey, it’s important to recognize these accomplishments.
Taking time to acknowledge our “weekly wins” as we call them here at the TherapyBites™ A.R.T. (Accurate, Realistic Thoughts) L.A.B. (Life Affirming Beliefs), promotes a healthy mindset and is an important part of practicing A.R.T. in our own lives.
We invite you to share something you accomplished today in the comments below. We all benefit from reading one another’s comments!
Teringat memori lama yang dirindukan hangatnya. Masa dimana awal-awal ngaji. Masa dimana menuntut ilmu syar'i begitu mendebarkan dan menggairahkan. Rasanya duduk di taman syurga begitu menenangkan. Meski ada kalanya otak belum mampu memahami, tapi hati benar-benar membutuhkannya♡
Di masa itu rasaya seperti semua ingin dipelajari, semua ingin dikuasai, semua kajian ingin dihadiri.
Lalu seiring waktu disadarkan bahwa 𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗷𝗮𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗵 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗱𝗶 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘀. Akhirnya memilah, yang penting saat itu kajian tiap hari.
Sampai menyadari,
𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡...
Sepertinya, bukan perihal tiap hari hadir kajian gitu aja tapi kelarnya gak tau apa-apa (ಡ‸ಡ), melainkan 𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗽 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘂𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗶𝗹𝗺𝘂. Karena kita membutuhkannya dari bangun tidur hingga tidur lagi.
Yaa, kita butuh bersama ilmu tiap hari entah itu 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗮𝗻, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝘁, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗮𝗵, 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗮, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗳𝗮𝗹, 𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗮𝗮𝗵𝗻𝘆𝗮.
Mindful. Gak berlalu gitu ajaa.
Yang hingga menjelang kita tidur tak ingat apa yang hari ini sudah dipelajari🥀
Rasulullah Shalallahu’alaihi Wasallam bersabda, “Orang yang dikehendaki oleh Allah untuk mendapatkan kebaikan, akan dimudahkan untuk memahami ilmu agama” (HR. Bukhari-Muslim)
Peribahasa ini dibenarkan oleh firman Allah Ta’ala yang artinya: “Bertaqwalah kepada Allah, maka Allah akan membuatmu berilmu. Sungguh Allah Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu” [Al Baqarah: 272] ➡️ ngutip dari Ustadz Yulian Purnama hafizhahullah
When times are tough, you must be tough. When times are easy, you must be easy.
Our energy should be directly proportional to the opposing force. Work hard when times are tough and take a break when times are easy.
Scientifically, we can notate this as:
+E = -F
This is one way {in my opinion} to maintain dharma in our lives and the universe. If we dont work hard enough, the force opposing us proceeds in the negative direction
Because -F > (+/-) E [where E is our energy and F is the opposing force]. Finding the right amount of energy to cancel the opposing force will bring and maintain equilibrium (+E = -F).
For example: we are met with a problem (-2F) that is twice as great as us. To maintain equilibrium and dharma, we need to meet said problem with twice as much energy (+2E) so our hypothetical equation will be: +2E = -2F .
As we persist, something gives and our problem is divided into smaller pieces which is where equilibrium returns: +2E/+2 = -2F/+2 which cancels out the magnitude of our problem: +E = -F.
The cancelling out comes in the forms of something "giving in" at an infinitesimally small moment in time which brings about positive change and thus, as shown, brings about equilibrium. The other side of the equation where we divide the amount of energy is where we stop to recuperate, rest and restore our potential energy.
If we think of a graph on a cartesian plane, where Energy is the X-axis and Force is the Y- axis, our graph can be linear, sloped or jagged (meaning that our Energy may not ALWAYS match our opposing force and thus brings about negative imbalance to our state of mind).
In theory, our graph should remain linear but its practically impossible to do as we start counting in other factors that affect our energy.
