Sensitivity is about using all the senses together. When Spirit communicate with me, I may hear them as sound, feel their presence as vibration in my body or sense them as colour in my peripheral vision. Because all my senses are heightened, Spirit can always find a way to talk with me. This is my personal definition of ESP: the cumulative effect of all five heightened senses working together to enable a ‘sixth sense’. Although the dictionary may define ESP as means of ‘obtaining information about the environment without the use of normal sensory channels’, in my experience, ESP doesn’t just come from nowhere. Psychic ability, or sensitivity, relies upon us using our everyday senses in every possible way.

Several years ago, I was fortunate enough to see an opera singer rehearsing her scales before a performance. I say ‘saw’ rather than ‘heard’, because I realised I was able to see the energy coming from her mouth as she sang. It was the colour of purple velvet. She had the most beautiful voice, and it was all the more magnificent because I could see and hear it.

The next time I experienced the sight of music was as the Glyndebourne Festival. Watching several performers sing together, again I could see the colour of a voice, but this time it was even more spectacular. I saw the energy pouring out of the singers’ mouths – the tenors were purple, the sopranos indigo; others were shades of mauve and some even yellow. And I could sense how the singers put themselves behind the high notes. When a long note resonated, I could see the tremor in the colour.

I have never understood why I saw those colours. Maybe it was because I could truly feel the music – the sound resonated so deeply within me that I was literally shown the beauty of music through colour. Looking back, I realise that sometimes I was seeing the colour of the sound before the sound itself, perhaps because light travels faster than sound. Psychic phenomena and modern physics may have more in common than we think!

Some of you may be able to see sound as colour as I do. When you next hear live music, try feeling the colours. You may see a faint aura of colour around a musician, or the colour of a note. Try half-closing your eyes and relax your mental focus – when you do this, sensitivity can come in unawares (see page 30 for more on seeing with peripheral vision).
