Your 11 Soul Senses
We are body and soul. If you only live through your physical senses you are missing half your life.
-Constance Messmer
Most people navigate the world through their five physical senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. But according to Constance Messmer, there are 11 Soul Senses that open the door to deeper awareness, spiritual connection, and higher-conscious living.
These Soul Senses are natural abilities of every human. Developing yours allows you to move beyond limitation, connect with your Higher Self, and live with clarity, joy, and purpose.
Constance Messmer offers free teachings on YouTube designed to help raise consciousness and empower people everywhere to achieve their fullest human potential.
What are the 11 Soul Senses?
ClairSentiment
Emotional soul sensing. Feeling emotions (joy, sadness, anxiety) that originate outside yourself, perceived at a soul level.
ClairOlfaction
Soul-level smelling. Experiencing scents (flowers, smoke, perfume) with no physical source, often linked to spirits, places, or memories.
ClairGustance
Soul-level tasting. Tastes appear spontaneously, offering insights about people, places, or events.
ClairAudience
Soul hearing. Words, sounds, or voices heard within or outside the mind, delivering guidance and/or connection to spirit.
ClairVoyance
Soul seeing. Inner visions, symbols, dreams, energy or overlays on physical reality that carry meaning and insight.
Shared Sensory Experience
Energetically linking with another to directly experience their senses— physical, emotional, and mental—sometimes intentionally, sometimes spontaneously.
Empathic ClairSensation
Feeling someone else’s physical sensations (pain, warmth, aches) as if they were your own.
Empathic ClairSentiment
Feeling another’s emotions (anger, joy, sadness) so strongly that you may confuse them with your own.
Empathic ClairPensée
Empathic mind-reading. Tuning into another’s thoughts or mental state by sharing their energetic field.
ClairSensation
Physical soul sensing. Your soul picks up energy and your body reacts (goosebumps, chills, gut flips) without physical cause.
ClairCognizance
Soul knowing. Clear, instant knowing that bypasses logic, inference, or reasoning. You just know—without knowing how.
Why the Soul Senses matter
Living only through the physical senses limits your experience of reality. The Soul Senses help you:
Connect with your higher consciousness.
Strengthen relationships through empathic awareness.
Receive guidance from spirit and your higher self.
Experience healing and alignment.
Navigate life with greater clarity, trust, and joy.
This is the foundation of higher-conscious living—stepping into your full spiritual and human potential.
