High Sense Perception

High Sense Perception (HSP) is simply a way to receive information through the natural built-in senses that we all have but most people don't acknowledge, much less know how to use. Brennan coined the term because "psychic" or "clairvoyant" implied weird stuff. HSP is not weird — it's a natural human capacity.

Through HSP, Brennan could see thoughts, feelings, and movements in the HEF before they happened in the physical world. An enormous amount of detailed information is available through these natural bioenergy fields: health, causes of illness, the relationship between mental and emotional functioning, life choices, and lifestyle.

HSP works through your chakras. Chakras are not just energy metabolizers — they are also perceptual centers. When functioning properly, they give you the ability to perceive the world beyond normal sensory perception. You can sense in a much broader range of perceptions.

This is the basis of what people call intuition, hunches, "gut feelings," the sense that something is right or wrong, or the feeling that something is going to happen. These are not random — they are your chakras metabolizing information from the universal energy field.

Each chakra serves as a sensory organ for a different type of perception:

• • Sixth chakra (third eye): Inner seeing — visions, images, symbolic perception
• • Fifth chakra (throat): Inner hearing — clairaudience, hearing guidance
• • Fourth chakra (heart): Inner knowing — direct felt sense of truth
• • Second chakra (sacral): Feeling perception — sensing others' emotions
• • First chakra (base): Physical sensing — grounding, body awareness

Most people have one or two channels more developed than the others. The work is to develop all channels for balanced perception.

Brennan describes how HSP works mechanically: the healer extends a "pseudopod" — a tendril of energy consciousness — from their own field to connect with the client's field. This is done through the chakras, particularly the hand chakras.

A coherent field is clear, charged, balanced, and flowing. An incoherent field is scattered, undercharged, distorted, and blocked. HSP requires a coherent field — you cannot perceive clearly through an incoherent field.

This is why personal process work is essential for developing HSP. If your field is full of blocks, your perception will be distorted by projections. Clear your field, clear your perception.

Brennan emphasizes a critical principle: look for what is, not for what is wrong. When observing with HSP:

• • Don't look for pathology — look for the truth of what's there
• • Don't diagnose with your fears — observe with neutrality
• • Don't share everything you see — timing and readiness matter
• • Always confirm with the client's own experience
• • Use HSP to be more present, not to control or manipulate

During her bioenergetic therapy training, Brennan noticed that one of the group leaders was blind from cataracts — but she could clearly see and describe the flow of energy through the students' bodies. Brennan decided to observe how she was "seeing" and copy what she was doing. To her surprise, it worked!

She then methodically observed how her own HEF functioned when she used HSP. She noticed it functioned similarly to the MRIR (infrared radiometer) she had worked with at NASA — but the instrument was in her own head. She was stunned, and kept it secret for years. Eventually, she realized this is a natural capacity available to everyone who is willing to develop it.

Brennan describes the path of HSP development as a cycle:

Curiosity leads to observation
that leads to investigation
that leads to discovery
that leads to understanding
that leads to applications
that then improve our lives!
