What is Clairaudience?
Along with the other psychic senses, such as clairvoyance (seeing) and clairsentience (feeling), you also have clairaudience, which means ‘clear hearing’ and is the ability to hear other dimensions and frequencies of the spirit world.
Clairaudience can come through in an assortment of ways and can be different for everyone. It may be one word, full on sentences, songs or ringing in your ear!
Are you looking to find out if you are clairaudient?
In this article, we’ll uncover what clairaudience is and find out the most common signs.
Signs you’re clairaudient
1. You love music
Do you really enjoy music? Maybe you are gifted in this area, play musical instruments or even compose your own songs, as musical inspiration comes to you.
Composers and musicians may ‘hear’ a melody playing in their mind, or in a dream, and end up creating it!.
You may hear songs in your head or on the radio where the lyrics catch your attention and stand out to you, or have a special meaning to you. You may hear it just as you need guidance on something.
Ever woken up in the morning with a random song in your head? Well, it may well be a solution to a problem, a have a message in the lyrics.
Or maybe you hear a song of a loved one that has passed on, just as you were thinking of them.
Some people may even see music as it’s played – they see the energy of the tune through clairvoyance! (clear seeing.)
2. You talk to yourself (totally fine may I add!)
Do you talk to yourself in your head (or out loud) – come up with ideas, go through situations or scenarios, ponder questions or the meaning of life! (Yeah, me too!)
This internal chatter can often have other meanings too – you may well be guided by your soul, or higher self, without even realising! Keep listening!
It may even be from your support team in spirit, loved ones that have crossed over or even animals. You can read more about how I use clairaudience in my work here
It can take some practice to determine the difference between your own head chatter and guidance from spirit, especially if guidance sounds like your own voice too (like when you read in your head.)
Remember though, spiritual guidance is intuitive. It comes through by using your intuition and I have the perfect post here, if you want to know more about developing and strengthening your intuition or psychic senses.
It is ALWAYS honest, encouraging and usually to the point! Your soul and spirit team come ONLY from a place of LOVE and have your best interest at heart.
Critical talk, like that self-doubt, fearful kinda talk, comes directly from your thinking mind. And any voice that is advocating harm to yourself or others is definitely NOT guidance from your soul or spirit guides.
It’s important to point out here i–> you can set rules and boundaries when developing direct contact with your spirit team, being intentional in your connection for guidance or receiving messages from loved ones, when it suits you.
3. You’re more of a listener than a talker
Do you find people come to you and open up about their problems, even strangers? Are you the go to shoulder to cry on? Do people say you’re easy to talk to, or a great listener? –> Ha! Yeah I am, I’m clairaudient my friend!
Maybe you give great advice and like helping others, sometimes wondering where that great advice even came from or using words that are not in your usual vocabulary!! (thanks spirit!)
You can be a channel for wisdom and guidance for others too, think of yourself like the translator, taking what’s being said and passing it on. As well as sharing your own human learnings and experiences that is.
You may even channel guidance, information or ideas for yourself or others through writing or singing. People have channeled books and songs! Pretty cool right!
4. You work in care professions
Is your vocation and calling is to help others, many psychic souls choose to work as therapists, counselors, nurses or coaches and they are often clairaudient too.
Do you find yourself at times intuitively knowing what help an individual person needs, or what they need to hear to get through to them?
5. You hear ringing, buzzing or popping
Do you get high pitched ringing in your ears, usually one ear at a time for a few seconds or so.
When this psychic sense is starting to open up, you might get ringing or a popping sensation in your ears (it feels like the air pressure change on an airplane)
Other times when your left ear does this, it’s your spirit guide and right ear is your angel letting you know they’re with you, supporting you and you’re on the right track! (whoohoo!)
Having sensations such as these can be a sign of clairaudient abilities – when medical causes such as tinnitus have been ruled out.
6. You hear voices, whispers, sounds, that no one else does
Have you ever heard someone talking – only to turn around and see that no one is there?
If you hear something and can’t identify a physical source of where it’s coming from, it’s likely you are picking up sounds on an energetic level.
7. You need peace and quiet
Do you need regular time out, away from the noise, hustle and bustle. Are you sensitive to loud noises?
You prefer quiet places. You don’t like too much noise and can only bare it for brief periods.
8. You hear someone calling your name
Have you ever heard your name being called, but when you’ve looked to see who it was there’s no one there. Or maybe you thought it was a family member or friend calling you, but when you check, they look at you like, huh?
You may hear your name being called as you’re falling asleep or just waking up, as spirit have easier access to communicating with you at this in-between stage, before your conscious mind kicks in fully again!
9. Thoughts and ideas just come to you
Do you suddenly get a genius idea pop in your head out of nowhere, while you’re driving, showering, or doing everyday errands! You get the answers to a question, or solutions to problems
This is your inner wisdom and it’s worth listening to, because your soul knows exactly what you need and where you need to go in life… even if it doesn’t always make sense at the time!
10. You receive signs audibly
Do you find messages jump out at you, come to you on the radio, TV, or in spoken word somewhere.
You’re aware that a message is only for you, it’s relevant and key to what’s going on in your life and resonates deeply.
Your intuition is honing in on those words, that very message. You need to hear it.
11. You are ‘in sync’ with people or animals
This can be your clairaudient ability to hear thoughts mind to mind, telepathically. All thoughts are energy and you can pick up on this energy before it’s expressed physically.
You may find yourself answering someone’s question before they’ve even had a chance to ask it!
This works particularly well with those we are closest to emotionally, as well as between others who are open to it.
Animals are very open to intuitive, telepathic communication, as it’s their natural language, in fact it’s a universal language! They send us messages all the time – whether we notice on that level or not!
So there we have it, now that you’ve identified 11 clear signs of being clairaudient, let’s explore how you can nurture and strengthen this amazing intuitive sense.
How to develop your clairaudience?
Quieten that mind! (I know, I know, easier said than done right.) If your mind likes to chatter, start practicing mindfulness – in which ever way you are drawn. Spend time in peaceful presence each day, detach from the busy distractions even for just a moment, start as small as you need to, and build up to longer sessions from there.
Find a quiet place at home or in nature. Open up your senses. What can you hear in your surroundings? Identify each individual sound – the bird chirping, the car passing, the wind in the trees…
Great!
Now do it it again! what else can you hear? Can you pick up anything that might not have been so obvious the first time, anything you might not of noticed?
You can do this in songs too, can you hone in and hear each individual instrument being played! The more you practice this, the more you are allowing this sense to strengthen.
Connect in with yourself, your soul, intuition. Practice asking yourself questions about any areas you need guidance on (oh and be as specific as you can!) Start with the small, everyday things first, like “Shall I wear the black or blue top today?” Rather than big decisions “Should I apply for (insert job role)?” See if you start to hear an answer. it should come almost instantly.
You can also do this with your spirit guides – everyone has a team in spirit looking out for them. Set the intention to connect and ask them to send you signs through sound, music, songs, spoken word, etc. Then make sure to pay attention over the next few days.
