In coaching and therapy, intuition often whispers before it speaks. A sudden image, a phrase that lands just right, or a tingling awareness in the body—these subtle experiences are sometimes called the clair senses: clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairalience, clairgustance, and claircognizance.
