Clairaudience, or clear hearing, is the ability to hear messages and information from Spirit in the form of music, sounds or voices.
It’s one of the several intuitive senses including clairvoyance (clear seeing),
How does clairaudience manifest?
Clairaudience feels different to different people. However you experience it is OK.
Clairaudience can be heard with your physical or intuitive ears. When heard with your intuitive ears, clairaudience can best be described as sounding like a memory of hearing (much as clairvoyance seen with your intuitive third eye is like the memory of sight). But, some mediums do hear clairaudience information with their physical ears as well.
How do you know if you’re clairaudient?
Here are some experiences that people with intuitive hearing abilities tend to have:
You have a tendency to talk to yourself.
You calm yourself down after a stressful event with self-talk or talk through situations and problems aloud. You also find yourself answering out loud to questions you didn’t actually ask.
You hear messages that sound like they’re meant just for you
You hear a particular line in a song on the radio, something your minister or pastor says, a snatch of overheard conversation or something a friend says, and know it was meant for you as a message from Spirit (this is also your overall intuition at work here).
You easily identify people by their voice because, to you, each person has a unique energy signature.
You’re sensitive to sounds and notice them. Too much noise tends to overwhelm you and you like to be in a quiet environment.
You tend to receive ideas in your head as if your mind is talking to you, often while doing everyday tasks while your mind is otherwise occupied.
You hear noises in the distance, the radio, talking or whispering, often without an obvious physical source of the noise. This is especially likely to happen when you’re are quiet, such as falling asleep. This can also manifest as knocking, creaking or footsteps when there’s no one else around. If you find this uncomfortable, ask Spirit to pipe down. The people or animals around you can also sometimes hear these sounds.
You hear someone say your name when there’s no one around.
You enjoy listening to music and feel better when you do.
How do you develop your clairaudience abilities?
Here are some ways you can develop and learn to control your intuitive hearing abilities.
Listen to the sounds in the room
Focusing on and developing your physical hearing helps to open and develop your intuitive hearing. It teaches you to learn to tune in to different sounds.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Focus on the sounds in the room right now. What do you hear immediately around you?
Extend your hearing – what do you hear beyond your immediate surroundings? How far can you stretch your ears? Where are the sounds coming from?
Listen to music
This exercise helps you to tune into a specific frequency, which allows you to receive auditory messages louder and more clearly.
Choose a piece of music you like. Classical music works well, but any tune will do.
Play the song and pick out one instrument in the melody.
Follow it throughout the piece. Stay with it as it comes and goes, gets quieter and louder throughout the song.
It is OK to hear voices?
Many people worry that if they hear information through their psychic or intuitive hearing, they’re developing a mental illness.
If you’re concerned about your mental health, please see a licensed counselor or therapist. They can help you discern the difference between what’s normal and what may require medical or mental health attention.
The biggest differentiators are:
Does what you’re hearing disturb you?
Can you make it stop by asking it to stop?
If you aren’t able to control the voices you hear, they tell you to do destructive things or they scare you, talk to a mental health professional. I know it can feel embarrassing or uncomfortable talking to a therapist about your extrasensory experiences, but a competent counselor will assure you that you’re mentally sound if you indeed are. My counselor knows all about my work and has no concerns about my mental health on that front.
