A renowned medium who works with celebrities has outlined four unmistakable signs that a departed loved one might be attempting to make contact, particularly during the emotionally charged festive period.
The Medium's Journey and Celebrity Clientele
Chloe Smith, a 28-year-old mother-of-three from Uttoxeter in Staffordshire, claims to have possessed psychic abilities since birth. She describes her process as involving spirits entering her body to aid in readings, which can alter her character or cause her to experience different physical sensations.
Her unique gift has not gone unnoticed in the world of fame. Smith has reportedly provided her services to a host of well-known figures, including singers Jessie J and Amanda Holden, comedian Daisy May Cooper, and TV presenter Helen Skelton. Furthermore, Kelsey Parker, the widow of late The Wanted star Tom Parker, is said to have sought her guidance following Tom's death from brain cancer.
You Don't Need to Be a Medium
Smith emphasises that direct communication with the spirit world is not exclusive to those with her proclaimed talents. She insists that everyone has innate senses that spirits can utilise to send messages, often bypassing spoken words entirely.
"Spirits connect firstly within our minds," Smith explained to The Sun. "So, the random thoughts you are feeling, the random memory that pops into your head, and you think, 'why have I just thought of that?' That is the spirit communicating through you."
She also highlights dreams as a significant channel, suggesting that the fragments we recall upon waking are often the most meaningful. Smith advises a proactive approach: if you notice a recurring sign, ask aloud or in your mind for confirmation. "Show me that again, if that's you," she recommends, stating that repetition can serve as validation.
The Four Clear Ways Spirits Communicate
According to Chloe Smith, spirits typically reach out through four primary methods, known in psychic circles as the 'Four Clairs':
Clear Seeing (Clairvoyance): This involves physically seeing an apparition or, more commonly, receiving sudden mental images, symbols, or brief visions in your mind's eye, akin to a photograph or a short video clip.
Clear Hearing (Clairaudience): This sign manifests as hearing words, sounds, or distinct thoughts that do not feel like your own internal monologue. It is often described as a calm, clear inner voice or thought that appears abruptly.
Clear Feeling (Clairsentience): This is the sensing of energies, emotions, or physical sensations that seem external. You might feel a sudden wave of emotion, a temperature change, or a distinct feeling in your gut that you cannot attribute to your own state.
Clear Knowing (Claircognizance): The most direct form, this is a sudden and certain inner knowledge or understanding about a person or situation. You simply 'know' a fact with absolute conviction, without any logical explanation for how you came to know it.
A Nation Open to the Paranormal
Smith's insights tap into a significant interest in psychic phenomena across the United Kingdom. Research indicates that engagement with such services is relatively common. A YouGov poll from 2011 found that approximately 25% of British adults have visited a psychic at least once. Furthermore, studies suggest that around 10% of the UK adult population consults a medium or psychic on a regular basis.
Through her practice, which offers tarot readings, therapy, and wellness services, Chloe Smith continues to guide those seeking connection and closure, asserting that the lines between our world and the next may be thinner than many realise.
