Clairaudience or Clear-Hearing is the power to hear sounds beyond the reach of ordinary experience, normal perception, or capacity. It is one of the most common Clairs we use. Hearing the voices of the dead, and hearing about the future is a common way that we use our Clairaudience. One of the challenges of clairaudience is distinguishing between the normal chatterbox that’s going on in your head, and your Higher Self, Spirit Guides, and Angels, who are trying to communicate with you. But in order to figure out which is which, you need to practice, practice, practice.
Clairaudience can be heard in a variety of ways. Here are some examples of how it can manifest itself:
You can hear it in your own voice or someone else’s from the other side.
You hear someone calling you, but when you look, no one is there.
It’s referred to in the Bible as a “still small voice.”
Hearing things that tend to be outside of your stream of consciousness or a voice contrary to “rational” thought:
Take a job with fewer hours and smaller pay
Turn left at the light.
It’s time to leave or you’ll be late when you’re in the middle of doing something
Often paired with another Clair, such as Clairsentience, or Clear Feeling
It’s never fear-based but may alert you to danger
While waiting for the elevator you hear “Take the stairs. It’ll be faster”
When you want to take a hike in the mountains, it may tell you to stay inside today
Watch the baby around the dog
The message repeats itself over and over
Take a Spanish class
Call Dad
It’s time to leave this relationship/job/house, etc.
The message is always stated in the positive with actionable tasks or information
The message is NOT emotional--no you're gonna die if you don't.
Your Higher Self, Angels, or Spirit Guides won’t use words like must, should, have to, or you’ll die if you don’t. Whenever you hear these, know that it’s your inner critic, religious or cultural ideology, not your higher self.
Having a conversation with someone in your head, then they remember the conversation.
Ear Worms—Songs that are stuck in your head
Generally, two reasons for them:
The other side trying to say, “hi” or get your attention
The lyrics are trying to give you a clue or answer to a question you asked.
Note that you tend to hear it more when you’re mentally quiet, like in the shower, while walking the dog, or being in nature.
How do we activate Clairalience?
Some of us can turn it on and off like a light switch, often without knowing how we even do it. Others struggle for years. Here are some techniques that can help activate your Clairaudient abilities.
Like all of the Clairs, mindfulness, and meditation are phenomenal ways of getting your mind settled down enough to notice the subtle differences between what is the normal chatter going on in your mind and hearing from the other side. One of my favorites is activating the 5th Chakra, also called the throat chakra, because it’s in the center of your throat, and seeing the color blue spinning freely. If you are unfamiliar with the chakras, what they are, what they do and how they work etc., you can find some really helpful information here: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-91/The-7-Chakras-for-Beginners.html
A second way to develop the skill is to listen to music without lyrics i.e.: Classical music, nature sounds, or New Age. Start with a short song about 3 minutes or so. Listen to the music with your eyes closed and really feel the music. Follow the song in your mind’s eye (The mind's eye, also known as the third eye, is a mystical invisible eye, usually located on the forehead, which provides perception beyond ordinary sight.) I like you would watch a movie. This is the 6th Chakra right in the center of your forehead between your eyebrows. (See the above link if you’re not sure what this is)
As you listen, note:
Where are you?
What are you doing?
Are you in the movie or just observing?
This activity is great for enhancing your clairvoyance (Clear-Seeing), and clairsentience (Clear-Feeling) as well because you are seeing, feeling, and hearing things as the song progresses.
One of my favorite ways to test my clairaudience is by checking in whenever the phone, or doorbell rings or want to know what time it is. Ask yourself who it is before you look at the Caller ID or through the peephole. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how often you get it right. Don’t know what time it is? Ask for the time in your head and wait for a response. Then look at a clock. At first, you may only get the time right to the nearest half hour to hour but as you practice, it’s nice to be accurate within 10 minutes or so.
A helpful hint to all of you learning to open your 5th chakra and developing your clairaudience skills is to STOP TRYING to “Hear”. I know this sounds totally counter-intuitive but it really works. It’s in the allowing that you become more successful. Also, this can’t be stressed enough, being intuitive isn’t the goal. It’s just another tool in our toolbox. When we work with one of the Clair skills, it helps develop and strengthen all of the others, just like riding a bike strengthens your whole body not just your legs and back.
Remember, that there’s no right or wrong way to do this. Being open to the process, speaking to your loved ones who have transitioned, your Higher Self, Angels, Spirit Guides, however, that happens for you, is the goal. The key here is consistency. Set aside some time every day, even for 3 minutes, to listen to a song with your eyes closed and hear where it takes you. Investing in yourself will be a reward in and of itself and a confidence booster to boot. Who doesn’t want that?
Anyone can do these things by themselves, but sometimes we like to practice with others like us. I will be running a Clairs Class at AIMS on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:00 on the Loveland Campus from January 24th - February 28th and on the Greeley Campus from April 3rd - May 8th, 2023.
I would love it if you would share with the group things that have worked for you, being supportive of each other and cheering each other on. I usually blog a couple of times a month.
Looking forward to seeing you next time.
