What is Clairaudience?
Clairaudience is the intuitive ability to hear beyond the normal range, the literal meaning being “clear-hearing”.
If you are clairaudient you can receive intuitive information from Higher Spirits, those in heaven, and other members of your spiritual team via hearing.
This information can come in a variety of forms and can make you feel crazy if you aren’t aware of what is happening.
If you are clairaudient you can receive intuitive information from Higher Spirits, those in heaven, and other members of your spiritual team via hearing.
You might hear unintelligible sounds, names or phrases, particular words, or music. When clairaudient abilities are beginning to open up, you may notice ringing or changes of pressure in your ears, such as popping or buzzing noises or you may start to hear voices.
These voices can sound different from the voices we normally hear. It can sound like being spoken right next to you, inside your head, or echoing as if it’s from a different dimension.
Also, it is possible that a voice sounds like one of your loved ones who has passed away. The voice can appear in various strategic moments.
Some people are born to clairaudience and their abilities can manifest in their life at any time, from the time of their birth until the day that they die.
Some people are born to clairaudience and their abilities can manifest in their life at any time, from the time of their birth until the day that they die. For them, it will be their dominant psychic ability.
However, clairaudience can also be an acquired skill and the good news is that your psychic hearing is one of the easiest intuitive gifts to develop, once you learn the “recipes” for developing psychic abilities.

If you are clairaudient, probably you also have the ability of clear speaking. This means that you can channel, share, and speak the messages you hear from the spirits to others.
How to Know if You’re Clairaudient
There are many clairaudient people walking around this world who don’t even know they have this super-cool intuitive gift. Are you one of them? Let’s find out! Here are some of the most common signs that you might experience if you are a clairaudient person.
1. You Hear Ringing or High-pitched Noises
Ringing or a high-pitched sound in your ears often serves as a sign that a Spirit guide is around. It is also possible that you hear buzzing, or feel your ears pop.
If you hear those sounds –that normally manifest quickly and disappear after seconds or minutes — and there is no medical explanation, this might be a sign that you have clairaudient abilities. A Spirit can be looking for your attention to relay important information.
2. You Prefer to Learn Through the Auditory Channel
Another clue of clairaudience is your preferred way of learning. Many clairaudient people learn best through the auditory channel. Like listening to an audiobook instead of reading the book.
3. Inspiration or Ideas Flow Through You
If you are clairaudient, you probably also have many creative, inspired ideas that flow through you. These ideas can come to you when you are feeling joyful, and relaxed, and when you are doing just common tasks like brushing your teeth, taking a shower or driving your car.
During these activities your vibration is high and you are most connected to your soul because you are relaxed and happy. That’s why this is the perfect moment for Spirits to give you solutions for your problems and ideas to improve your life.
4. You Comfort and Guide Others With Great Advice
Do you comfort and advise others a lot, but you have no idea where you got those ideas? Do people tell you that you should charge money for your counsel? Or have you already made your profession out of providing others with centered and comforting advice?
This can also be a sign that you may be clairaudient. If you give great advice to others by giving thoughtful suggestions, this advice can possibly come from Higher Spirits through you. You might find yourself actually speaking their words.
That’s why your advice is so on point and often just what the people need at that very moment!
5. You Tend to Talk to Yourself
Do you find yourself thinking of replies you would like to give in certain scenarios, and do you calm down by talking to yourself after a stressful event?
If you are clairaudient, it is likely that you have conversations with yourself in your head. Yet, many of us have influences going on with our internal dialogue, but the voice of clairaudience is the voice of our spirit that guides us and tells us the truth.
This comes from a different place then the inner critic or the old tapes that repeat the same old doubts or fantasies. This is guidance!
6. You Hear Noises When No One Is Around
Does it ever seem like you hear people talking, but no one is around? Or that you hear sounds that others can’t? This can be as simple as hearing your name when no one is around or hearing noises, talking, radio or whispering.
If you can’t discern the physical source of the noise, it is very possible that this is a spirit generated speech and it’s a pretty good indicator that you may be clairaudient.
7. You Are Very Sensitive to Music
Do you love music and does it make you feel connected to your soul? Often clairaudient people are very sensitive to music, are musically inclined, and find a deep soul connection to music.
If music moves you to this extent, you may be clairaudient. You may also enjoy writing music. There are many accounts of composers who have heard or dreamt of a melody playing internally before they put it down on paper.
If you start seeing pictures in your head to match the song lyrics, it may also mean you are clairvoyant and have the ability to see and perceive energy.
8. You Had Imaginary Friends
Did you have imaginary friends when you were young? Well, they maybe weren’t imaginary but were angels, Spirits, or even departed loved ones. If you communicated with imaginary friends in your childhood, this might be a sign that you were accessing clairaudience.
9. You Enjoy and Need Quiet
Though people tend to see the desire for quiet time as just an introvert quality, it is also the sign of a sensitive soul that needs to have some quiet in order to hear its own wisdom.
Besides, clairaudient people are usually highly sensitive, both emotionally and physically. That’s why noises can make you feel tired and irritated.
It can be really frustrating when you have a psychic hearing, but your family and friends don’t understand how much it affects you.
That’s why it’s super important for clairaudients to have quiet time every day. You may even like to try noise-canceling headphones or practice meditation.
Clairaudience or Psychotic Episode ?
Clairaudience can be awesome and challenging at the same time, and some people even fear it as a curse. It can be scary to hear voices especially when you’re alone at night and you’re absolutely not expecting it.
Besides clairaudients often struggle to manage noisy environments and the noise pollution of everyday modern living. Some people who have the gift of clairaudience even think they are having a psychotic episode.
But there is an important difference between having the gift of clairaudience and having a psychotic episode. The latter involves leaving behind reality and moving into another level of awareness.
This is not the case when you are having a clairaudience experience. This experience only gives guidance to your current level of awareness.
The most given advice to clairaudient people is to accept their gift. Once you do so, you will be able to see its value and may even look forward to the next experience.
Forms of Clairaudient Messages
Clairaudient messages can come to you in a variety of forms. As these messages are different from your inner voice, you have to become aware of them so that you can use the information in a valuable way. The 4 most common forms of clairaudient information are described below.
1. Your Own Voice
Most clairaudience messages are subtle and often sound as if you are having an internal dialogue. But the voice of clairaudience is the voice of our Spirit that guides us and tells us the truth.
This comes from a different place then the inner guidance. That’s why you have to develop your intuitive gift so that you can recognize the difference between your inner guidance and clairaudient messages.
2. Spirit Voices
Next, to receiving messages telepathically through your own voice, you can also receive messages through Spirit voices. In some cases, these voices are from friends, relatives or acquaintances who passed away and will sound like they did while they were living.
3. Sounds
Messages can also come in the form of sounds, like hearing your name when no one is around, or hearing noises, talking, radio or whispering. If you can’t discern the physical source of the noise, it is very possible that this is a spirit generated speech.
4. Warnings
In distress situations, you can receive a clairaudient message out loud. You can hear ringing or yelling. Don’t get scared when receiving such a message, but just listen to it. You will be thankful later.
How to Improve Your Clairaudient Skills
You don’t have to be born with the gift of clairaudience to have an experience with it. You can develop and improve your clairaudience skills by accessing your divine guidance and by practicing a lot.
Compare it with tuning an instrument. You can create an awareness of what to listen for and train your ears to recognize subtle distinctions of different tones. Simple, right? Here are some exercises that I use to develop my clairaudience skills.
1. Listen
The easiest way to develop your clairaudience skills is to practice sensitizing your physical hearing.
Close your eyes and gently tune into sounds you normally don’t focus on: leaves rustling, birds singing, people talking, your own breathing, etc. See if you can isolate each one, and focus on it for a few moments.
At first, this may be hard, but once you do this more often, you will expand your range of hearing and it will be easier for you to pick up sounds from the Spirit world.
2. Ask Questions
Another way to improve your clairaudient abilities is by asking Higher Spirits for an auditory message. Are you pondering on a specific question in your life? Focus on this specific question and ask for guidance.
Messages of the Higher Spirits may be received in a conversation, through lyrics of a song you hear on the radio, or a random sound.
3. Strengthen your fifth chakra
Clairaudience is associated with your fifth chakra, also known as the throat chakra. This chakra is the center of communication and purification.
Balancing this chakra can help you reconnect with your true nature and your clairaudience ability. Singing or toning are great ways to do this. Practice making sounds that are both loud and soft, high and low.
You can also use crystals and gemstones to balance your fifth chakra: Lapis Lazuli, aquamarine, turquoise, blue tourmaline are a few mentionable ones.
4. Meditate
If you want to improve any psychic ability, you have to start with meditation. Nowadays, you can find a lot of guided meditations online.
Try meditation with music, spoken meditations, and complete silent meditation, to figure out which style you prefer and try to squeeze a meditation moment into your daily routine.
Want to have more tips? Many YouTube videos are centered on this subject, including this short, informative video by Krishanti. It provides a fun technique to develop your clairaudient skills.
Clairaudience FAQ
Being clairaudient is an extraordinary psychic gift that is sometimes perceived as a curse. Some people who experience clairaudient episodes might think that they are losing touch with reality and having a psychotic episode.
However, clairaudience is an authentic thing and has nothing to do with your mental health. Keep reading for some insights into what it means to be clairaudient, the main signs of this ability, and how to strengthen clairaudient skills.
Clairaudient people can hear sounds that are outside of the physical realm. One of the most well-known examples of clairaudience is the ability to listen to the voices of the dead. However, this ability extends to a few different areas, too.
Clairaudient people receive intuitive messages from the spirit realm that might offer advice or urge one to heed a warning. Clairaudience sometimes also involves hearing other sounds or music. Many people who have this gift ignore it or think that they are ‘crazy’ and try to turn it off. This is actually a very powerful gift for those who embrace it and use it for good.
Clairaudience manifests itself in a host of different ways. Although the general idea of it means that you hear sounds from the spirit realm, the way you hear them may differ from the way the gift presents in others. But the truth is, those with clairaudience don’t always hear messages in the same way.
You might hear a voice that sounds like it’s coming from right beside you, from inside your mind, or even from a different dimension. The messages you receive could be clear and sometimes incomprehensible. Learning the way your gift presents and fine-tuning it is key.
If you want to strengthen your clairaudience abilities, you most definitely can. One of the easiest things you can do to accomplish this is simple: learn to listen. Take time out of each day to shut off TV’s and radios so that you have a quiet space to listen. Then, listen to the sounds around you like the wind blowing or cars driving down the street. Setting aside this time to open up your senses will help you fine-tune your clairaudience overall.
Clairaudience Ready?
As I mentioned, clairaudience can be awesome and challenging at the same time. It can be scary to hear voices especially when you’re alone at night and you least expect it.
If you have concerns about your clairaudience skills – for example, if you have a constant ring in your ear or frequently hear voices that are destructive or evil – use your common sense. If it doesn’t feel good, be sure to speak to a health professional, as frightening clairaudient experiences shouldn’t occur too often.
Guidance from spirits will be delivered with love, and normally, people experience clairaudience as useful, valuable and fun. So don’t be afraid to develop your skills, because they can give you a lot of joy and wisdom!

Jess says
Very interesting article, I’d love to get in touch with other clairaudient people, would you know how? Thank you!
willemijn says
Hi Jess,
Thanks for your reply! I would recommend getting in touch with other clairaudient people via online message boards. It’s cool to have a buddy with psychic abilities. Not only to share your clairaudient experiences, but also to practice your skills!
Best, willemijn
Christine says
How can I pertect myself and also if i go in my moms room i can hear in both ears and like it feels like spirits on both sides but in my room I can only hear it on one side
Looneytunes says
I have been struggling with trying to figure out if I have a gift or if I’m delusional. I have always heard internal voices but recently it has picked up.. perhaps because of the passing of a loved one. I have found that this internal voice is more apparent if I am preoccupied instead of meditating which is contradictory to what I’ve read about mediums. I’d like to share some examples and get some insight? While hugging my son who’s father passed I heard “I’ll trade ya”. While playing twister I heard “this is important”. While cooking I heard “I already ate”. I often randomly hear short phrases about myself such as “shes smart, shes short, she looks like Sara” as if I can hear myself being talked about? Which is weird because I havent read anything about people hearing voices talk ABOUT them! I also hear things like “your mom needs you” “get your butt up” .. or saying things that arent true like “noone is home” when we are home .. or “rylan is hurt” when he is not hurt which leads me to believe these arent true spirit messages but a delusional internal voice that I manifest for conversation maybe? So lost!
Willemijn says
Hi, first of all, thank you for your comment! As I mentioned in my article, clairaudience experiences should be overall positive. It’s not “normal” to hear things that are negative and/or mean. If you’re not sure if it’s a psychic experience or something else, it might help to talk to someone who can help you deal with the voices. Maybe someone who has experience with psychic abilities but also psychology? Someone who can tell you what to say to yourself when these voices are there again. Hope this helps. All the best, Willemijn
John M. says
Cool article, great content. However, do you have any tips on how to go about asking the Higher Spirits for an auditory message to strengthen your abilities? John
Willemijn says
Hi John,
Thanks for your feedback! If you have a specific question for the Higher Spirits, focus on this specific question and ask for guidance. Messages of the Higher Spirits may be received in a conversation, through lyrics of a song you hear on the radio, or a random sound. If you have the feeling that you don’t receive any message yet, I would recommend to first improve your psychic abilities by meditating and strengthening your fifth chakra. Good luck! Best, Willemijn
Nikki says
Hi Willemijn,
Is it possible to hear a voice that sounds like talking but doesn’t seem to be forming any words that you can understand? When I am alone (this only happens at home and in the same room) I have heard a woman’s laughter, always the same way, followed by what sounds like her speaking a sentence but no matter how loud it is, I can’t make out the words which sounds odd but is true. It has all the ups and downs of a voice speaking but no words forming. I have also heard a female voice humming a tune which sounds almost gospel-like but quite honestly sounded beautiful and – I have no idea what the tune was. Also, the odd little sighs and cries. My name is never called but I just hear these sounds…there is no one in the flat above me (it’s been vacant for a while since the previous tenant, an old woman, passed away). It’s hard to tell where they are coming from – they are in various spots, sometimes sounding closer, sometimes further away and mostly at night. The other day I was washing dishes and I started to hum a tune which then became a song that I was singing with words which went on for 5 minutes whilst I was doing other things. Again, I didn’t know the song or tune, I was just singing it but with such conviction and it sounded almost gospel/hymn like. I felt compelled to write some of the words down i.e. ‘Come on, come on, just you….’ and ‘we’ve got to find a way’ etc. This sounds pretty crazy but all true and a bit scary as it’s not something that has ever happened to me i.e. I don’t just sing random songs to myself for no reason. What could this all mean? Is this a spirit message?
Willemijn says
Hi, Thanks so much for reaching out! I don’t think this sounds crazy at all. I think it’s beautiful that you felt safe enough to open up here! The voices and sounds you mention could be some sort of spirit messages. It might be a guide or a loved one. Something loving and wonderful, I’m sure! However, I can understand that it is scary, especially because the messages are still vague. Have you already tried to strengthen your clairaudience abilities? The messages might become more clear if you develop them. I wrote down some exercises in my article. And remember that guidance from spirits will be delivered with love, and normally, people experience clairaudience as useful, valuable and fun. So don’t be afraid to develop your skills, because they can give you a lot of joy and wisdom!
Hope this helps, Willemijn:)
Melissa says
Hi Willemijn,
This happens almost everyday while I’m at the greenhouse or my garden. Where I’m alone n it’s quiet. It’s like I’m in a small crowded room with a lot of people talking. I can hear the different tones of their voices. But, cannot make out the words. ( best way to describe it: like being in a bar at closing time). I cannot handle lot of noise or people talking, family gatherings etc, anymore. I can hear my parents calling my name. I can hear my son saying “Mom”. All of these experiences have gotten more intense in the last 2 yrs. It’s hard most days to get my mind to quiet down. I feel like I’m going crazy at times. Not to mention the vivid dreams that I could swear that are real. ( like feeling a knee in my back holding me down)
I stopped telling my husband n daughter about all this. They just comment, like wow, go about their day. Any suggestions or opinions ? Thanks for listening.
Willemijn says
Hi Melissa, thanks for reaching out! I can imagine that it’s confusing if you hear tones but can’t make out any words. I would definitely recommend starting with (or further developing) meditation. This helps me a lot to quiet my mind and be calmer and to pick up sounds from the Spirit world. Hope this answered your question! Have a great day! Liz
Charlene says
When I see a vision. I see it as large as a outdoor drive in movie screen. It’s sometimes scary when it is so big and in front of me while I’m walking cause I can’t see people walking towards me or cars comming my direction as I walk on sidewalk. I see and know things that will happen months before a world tragedy happens. Yes I do see spirits since I was 8 my daughter too. And can feel and sense pain physically and emotional and can help take it from them and into me. What’s happening to me. Very confused. But calm as can be.
Willemijn says
Hi Charlene,
Thank you for your comment! If you see and feel things, it seems like you have clairvoyant and claircognizant abilities. You can find more about these psychic gifts in these articles: https://www.alittlesparkofjoy.com/clairvoyance/ and https://www.alittlesparkofjoy.com/claircognizance/. The visions however, shouldn’t be scary or dangerous, so if they block you sight, I think you should consult someone to help you with this. Normally, messages from higher spirits are loving and gentle and brought in a calm way. Hopefully, this helped you. All the best, Willemijn
Liz says
If your visions take up all of your line of sight you should look into training them further. With visualization, try creating the projection screen smaller like a portable electronic device and projecting your own visions and visualizations onto the smaller screen. With perseverance you can train your spontaneous visions to follow suit. There are books to teach your empathic healing you experience and I have no experience myself with it, but I read people visualize a large drainpipe going to the center of the Earth where they visualize themselves sending the negative energy going down into and then that negativity being cleansed and grounded by the earths core while spontaneously visualizing healing starlight coming in straight from the heavens through the top of their own heads and renewing their energy so they are vibrant and healthy.
Katie kendall says
Hi, How can you tell if it’s spirit voice or message or your own thought or imagination? What’s the difference?
Hope you can help
Katie
Willemijn says
Hi Katie,
Thanks for your comment. Sometimes, it’s really hard to tell the difference between your own inner voice and the voice of a spirit. Keep in mind that the voice of a spirit guide is normally quieter and is often heard from the right side of your body. Also, the messages of Spirit guides are loving and gentle and brought in a calm way. They are never demanding and they shouldn’t cause fear or anxiety. I hope this answered your question and just remember that it takes practice to work out which voice is communicating to you and which voice offers the best solution for you. All the best, Willemijn
Cynthia Ramirez says
Hi Willemijn,
I really enjoyed reading your article and appreciate your advice on how to strengthen this ability. I do have signs of being Clairaudient and I did have an imaginary friend when I was a child. In your article, you state if the voice I hear is destructive or evil, that I should seek professional help. I have been hearing a woman, I only hear her in my home, and she doesn’t say things like telling me to kill myself or hurt anyone else but she says things like calls me cuss words or says things about me that are negative or mean. At the same time I’ve been hearing things like my husband whispering or talking really low under his breath and this happens while I hear this woman sometimes. He says he isn’t or wasn’t talking to anyone but I know what I hear. I also hear her when my husband isn’t home. I also hear another man. I did have a medium visit our previous home where this started and she did connect with three spirits. The medium spoke to them and told them how to cross into the light. The same night the spirits agreed to leave, I still felt someone there and shortly after moving to this house, I began to hear them again. As you can imagine this is driving a huge wedge in my marriage and I don’t know what else to do. I did contact the medium who helped us and she said it wasn’t possible that the spirits lied and didn’t cross over. The medium even used a white noise device so to communicate with the woman and the woman even said she was sorry for harassing me when the medium asked her if she was sorry. Then the medium told the woman that if she was sorry to touch me on my arm and I felt an ice cold sensation on a small area of my arm. I don’t know why this voice of this woman is always there and why she is always saying mean things about me or why I hear my husbands voice as if he is talking to her. Any advice from you would be greatly appreciated.
Willemijn says
Hi Cynthia, First of all, thank you for your comment and I love to hear that you enjoyed my article! As I mentioned in my article, clairaudience experiences should be overall positive. It’s not “normal” to hear things that are negative and mean. Therefore, I think you did the right by seeking help from a medium. Did she ask why the spirit is harassing you and what will make her stop? Maybe that’s something you or she still can do. On the positive side, the spirit already did let you know that she was sorry, so maybe it comforts you to know that it isn’t her intention to do this. Another thing that might help is to talk to someone who can help you to deal with the voice of she doesn’t stop. Maybe someone who has experience with psychic abilities but also psychology? Someone who can tell you what to say to yourself when this negative spirit voice is there again. Hope this helps. All the best, Willemijn
Shannon says
I enjoyed reading this page. I’ve always had spirits communicating with me throughout life. I was in denial about it until my teens. I have become more aware of symptoms of spirits communicating with me. My whole life, I have felt the sensation of drops of water land on my head or shoulders even though I notice there is no wetness when I try to wipe the drop of water off of me. I would feel the drops outdoors and assume it was a drop of rain, even on a cloudless day. After experiencing the drops of rain indoors and staring at ceilings with no wet signs, I realized that this is another way that spirits try to get my attention.
On a different note, I found this page because I have moved into a new house and believe that I have been experiencing 3 spirits. One talks to me as I drift into sleep or as I am waking. He (because it sounds male) uses wording that I’ve seen in book published between the 1940s and 1960s. Sometimes he uses big words that I’ve heard before but don’t know the meaning of and he almost sounds like a college professor with his linguistic skills. Sometimes I remember parts of his conversation but forget them shortly afterwards. I might start journaling the conversation. I’ve also been hearing music. One sounds like the harmonica being played and it plays various different tunes that sound so familiar that I try to guess what songs are being played. The other sounds like an electric guitar playing blues or rock music that always plays the same melody but often plays different solos. I assume these are 3 different spirits as they are providing different experiences. I wondered if you have any thought regarding what the musical messages might mean or if you might have an idea of what types of spirits play music. My thoughts are that the music may be what people call angels, but I’m not sure. I’m just trying to understand and be more receptive to what guidance or healing might be given to me by these spirits.
Willemijn says
Hi Shannon, Thanks for your comment! It sounds like you’re receiving clairaudient messages. Unfortunately, I can’t tell what the musical messages mean based on the information above. What I recommend is to strengthen your clairaudient abilities. This might help you with interpreting the messages. In this article, you can find some tips on how to improve clairaudience: Clairaudience Definition, Signs and How to Develop Clairaudient Skills. Good luck!
Joe says
I’m so glad that I found your website. For years I’ve been sensitive to sound and certainly musically inclined. The reason for my post is that I moved into an apartment with my fiancée and two year old son on the 3rd floor. I work from home while everyone else is at work and daycare during the day. For months I’ve been hearing high frequencies like ears ringing and low frequencies you’d hear from a meditation or yoga track, in district voices, knocking and what sounds like a swarm of bees buzzing. My fiancée couldn’t hear this and my camera couldn’t pick this up so I downloaded a sound boosting app and the app picked up all of these sounds clear as day except if couldn’t make out what the words were saying. Just as I started reading your article and started to write the sounds came on and I heard a lot of knocking. I thought the downstairs neighbors were pranking me however these events happen when they’re now home and also at all hours and they would require sleep at some point. This is the first time I’ve heard of clairaudient and I’m now wondering if this is what I’m dealing with.
Willemijn says
Hi Joe, Thanks so much for your comment. In my article, I’ve talked about the most common signs to determine if you’re clairaudient. It sounds like you do possess some of the abilities (like hearing the high-frequency noises and the knocking). Also, if you don’t possess every single one of them, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have the wonderful gift of clairaudience. It is still likely that you have clairaudience abilities if the majority applies to you. I would definitely recommend starting with meditation, because it not only helps to relax, but also with strengthening your psychic abilities. Good luck on your journey, and don’t forget to always use common sense and enjoy it!
Rowenna says
Hi! thanks for the article. it really help me to understand things and grateful that I’m not crazy hearing people calling my name using my friends’ voice or using music to laugh or scream. I do heard women scream from time to time and laughing when there is no one around. I have vivid dreams too. When I had nightmare, it’s always hard for me to wake up. I had short breath whenever I got up from the nightmare. there’s one time I got dream that gave me my password to an email that I had not used for almost 10 years bcs I forgot the password. I heard ringing in my ears sometimes. I always hear people’s conversation when I’m too tired or when I was about to fall asleep. Does it mean I’m clairaudience? Thank you.
Willemijn says
Hi Rowena, Thanks for your message and I’m happy to hear that it helps you to understand things. Regarding your question: it sounds like you do possess some of the abilities. Also, if you don’t possess every single one of them, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have the wonderful gift of clairaudience. It is still likely that you have clairaudience abilities if the majority applies to you. If you would like to strengthen your psychic abilities, meditation is a good start. Also, in my article about clairvoyance, you can find other useful tips to develop your clairaudient abilities. Good luck on your journey, and don’t forget to always use common sense and enjoy it!
Olee says
googled a question and ended up here lovely blog.
Re: Clairaudience I’d add another common thing I have experienced. If songs pop into your head (keep track of these if sounds silly, write it down. Google the words.) It is eerily accurate when I realize it aligns with situations I am experiencing. It’ s a way to receive info/guidance or confirmation on your intuitive nudges. It seems arbitrary but once you start looking up the words/ paying attention it’s quite fun. And I suspect this happens to more people than you think who blow it off as a passing thought. Super weird too because I’ve had to google lyrics snippets, find the song title and then figure it out that way sometimes lol. Or a song I haven’t heard in years- or a song I a genre I really don’t listen to pops up in the ‘mental jukebox’.
Willemijn says
Hi, thanks for this addition:)

Hi there,
I am really happy that I came across this page or else I would have been wandering what was happening to me. Lately, I have been hearing voices in the night and that has started freaking me out. I stay alone and have a full time job. I agree 100% with all the 9 signs you have mentioned to know if you are clairaudience because all the points fit in to what I have been experiencing lately.. In fact, today only I sat down to check on google search about this ability and came to know that such word “Clairaudience” does exist for people with such ability. I often feel it like a curse because when I tend to share with people who are known to me, they laugh and call me physco. It gave me this great satisfaction to realize that such ability does exist and that it is not a curse. Though, I am not able to hear exactly what the murmurs are but yes there are people talking when exactly there are no people around. I would definitely like to improve upon this. I hear voices within myself and at times it looked like someone else’s thoughts. I like quiet place, serene, peace, music. There are days when I love to enjoy the natural music. Sometimes I imagine myself in a different place. I want to work upon improving my meditation methods. In real world, I have just a few people who are friends to me. I don’t like the mentality of humans having for another humans. Competition, bitching, ego etc. I have so much to share. I have imaginary friends. At times, when I sleep late night after working and before I sleep I talk with my imaginary friends and tell them not to disturb me as I am tired. And yes nothing happens, but days when I don’t do talks then I know someone or something always keeps bothering me and doesn’t let me sleep. I hope you get what I have been wanting to tell you. This is an introduction to my world.

Hi there, Thank you for your comment! I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed my article and learned about clairaudience! As I mentioned in my article, if you’re clairaudient you can receive intuitive information from Higher Spirits, those in heaven, and other members of your spiritual team via hearing. It can be scary to hear voices or sounds when you’re alone and you least expect it. But just keep in mind that if you ever have concerns about the messages – for example, if you have a constant ring in your ear or frequently hear voices that are destructive or evil – use your common sense. If it doesn’t feel good, be sure to speak to a health professional, because frightening clairaudient experiences shouldn’t occur too often and guidance from spirits normally will be delivered with love. I hope this answered your question. All the best, Willemijn

My comments will be rambling a bit…I have had OBE events many times mostly 20 years ago. I have become recently re-interested and doing some re-reading of material by William Buhlman. I headed off to bed and as I am somewhat lazy I decided to loosen my lowest body above the physical with some affirmations and mental “stretching” as it were. As I was losing consciousness going off to sleep (this was after a nice long 70 mile nighttime bike ride so my muscles were very relaxed) I hear from my left ear what sounded like a tremendous transformer explosion or tree limb coming through the roof. I understand that this can be one of the signs of separation from the body, although it was so jarring it woke me up instead. What makes it interesting is that at this moment my sister-in-law’s first born grandchild (Sophia) was heading down the birth canal and in hindsight I wonder if at some higher level the relatives were “beating the trash cans” trying to make enough noise to get the incarnates to pay attention. Kind of like yelling “incoming!”. Who knows?
Be Good,
Bill
p.s. I always notice ringing in my ears and have always thought it is tinnitus. I am super healthy so I have not found a cause for it. It has the about the intensity of two hands rubbing together or a laptop fan on high. Using a tone generator it seems to be dominantly around 8000 to 9000 Hz.
