In both Brazilian and American contexts, clairvoyance is associated with spiritualism, parapsychology, and New Age beliefs. In Brazil, it's particularly linked to Spiritism (Espiritismo) and umbanda practices. The term is often used metaphorically in business and personal development contexts to describe exceptional foresight or intuition, rather than literal supernatural ability.
