You may be familiar with the concept of extrasensory perception (ESP). It’s a topic of many conversations these days and not only with those interested in mystical or esoteric practices.

Clairaudience is a type of ESP and there’s much to learn and discover about it.

This complete guide will answer your nagging questions and help you utilize your psychic gift.

If you’re curious about how to develop clairaudience, look no further.

What Is Clairaudience?

Do you often hear voices in your head, like some kind of inner intelligence, or as if a higher being is communicating with you?

Well, just as a claircognizant has the ability of clear-knowing, a clairaudient can receive messages or information through clear, or psychic hearing. It’s considered to be one of the most common types of ESP.

“Clair” translates directly into “clear,” a name of Latin origin now commonly used in the French language.

It can also mean “light” or “bright.” The Collins Dictionary defines the word as the “postulated ability to hear sounds beyond the range of normal hearing.”

Many refer to this type of ESP as “audial hypersensitivity.” In simple terms, it means being extra sensitive to sound.

Is Clairaudience Rare?

Clairaudience is more common than you’d think. It dates as far back as around 563 B.C.E. in the time of Siddhartha Gautama.

Supposedly, Gautama was born into the Sakya tribe in Nepal and later became a teacher, philosopher, and religious leader. 

We know him as the “Buddha,” or one who’s enlightened.

This leader believed in something referred to as the “divine ear.” It speaks to a profound state of supreme meditation, which is a doctrine of Buddhism.

Practitioners try to reach this state through stillness and silence.

Again, clairaudience pops up in the days of Joan of Arc.

She was born in 1412 and claimed to hear voices offering her divine guidance, namely archangel Michael and Saint Margaret.

Later she was executed by an ecclesiastical court and accused of witchcraft due to her gift of clairaudience.

The workings of clairaudience are discussed in recent times, as well.

In 2016, the Schizophrenia Bulletin published a study on the topic.

Researchers investigated the differences between clairaudient psychics and those with mental illness, in relation to “hearing voices.” 

They found that those possessing the gift of clairaudience could control it positively, contrary to the other patients.

The latter group experienced a more negative reception to the process with little ability to manage the situation.

Suffice it to say, there are plenty of examples of clairaudience throughout history and into the present day, beyond what we mention here.

Many aren’t aware that they possess the gift, dismissing the guidance as white noise.

Furthermore, mediums and psychics also use the skill of tapping into extrasensory perception in their readings.

Many have the ability to communicate with the living and nonliving.

Clairaudience Signs

There are several signs that point to the possibility of clairaudience, including:

  • Excel at auditory learning.
  • Hear voices of unknown origin.
  • Experience sudden inspiration.
  • Are introverted.

If you’ve noticed you have some of these signs and want to get more insights into your clairaudience (or confirmation that you are clairaudient) then I recommend getting a free 5-minute psychic reading.

Auditory Learning

Every human has a preferred way of learning, whether it be visual, auditory, writing/reading, or kinesthetic. Lexia claims that up to 25 percent of the population falls into the auditory category.

These types prefer verbal communication and will excel through speaking and listening; they’ll also be sensitive to sound.

This is unlike visual learners, for example, that deal better with images. Auditory learners may also experience strong emotional reactions to music.

If you find yourself displaying any of the characteristics listed above, you may be experiencing clairaudience.

Unknown Voices 

Hearing voices of an unknown origin could be a clear sign that you’re gifted with these abilities, as well.

Perhaps you hear external noises like whispers or other, more distant sounds. These could be coming from higher beings, such as spirits or angels.

It’s also common to hear internal voices, something akin to a specific “inner guidance” giving you direction.

Many clairaudient people may sometimes hear a ringing noise, which, again, could be spirits of some sort. Be aware of these noises and try not to dismiss them.

Sudden Inspiration

Do you suddenly receive spells of vast knowledge or creativity?

Or perhaps you find yourself giving surprising advice when a friend comes to you for help? 

Your heightened auditory perception may be at play.

Spiritual beings could be vocalizing their guidance and in turn, feeding you with insightful thoughts that you share out loud.

Introversion

Introversion is a personality trait present in many clairaudient empaths.

They’ll likely seek internal stimulus rather than rely on external experiences for energy.

Being alone will provide them with strength and vitality.

If you frequently find yourself searching for solitude and feeling washed out by extraverted experiences, you may be prone to clairaudient abilities.

How I Developed My Own Extrasensory Abilities

If you’re anything like I was, you have an inkling that you were blessed with psychic or extrasensory abilities, but you’re not completely sure.

And of course, if you DO have these abilities, you want to know how to develop them.

To help you on your journey, I’m going to share what helped me in my own journey.

The first thing I did was consult with a professional psychic who was able to help me recognize and confirm my abilities.

Psychics are very attuned to other people and their abilities, so I definitely recommend consulting with a psychic if you suspect you may be clairaudient. Click here for a free 5-minute reading with my favorite psychics.

Once I had confirmed that I did have extrasensory abilities, I got a book my psychic recommended. It’s called “100 Days of Psychic Exercises” and it leads you through 100 prompts that help you develop your extrasensory abilities.

It’s an audiobook that you can listen to for free if you have Audible. If you don’t have Audible, click here for a free 30-day trial.

I also attended a Clairvoyant Meditation 101 Live online class.

This was a big eye-opener for me – I learned some amazing techniques for grounding and mental clarity, the processes involved in psychic development, and some really useful meditation tools that helped to unlock my abilities.

Clairaudience Exercises

You may possess a natural flair for clairaudience or “clear hearing.”

Perhaps it’s something you’ve been familiar with for a long time. Or maybe you started experiencing it more recently?

Either way, you can strengthen this ability with a little focus and discipline. Let’s look at some exercises to help you out:

  • Meditation
  • Yoga
  • Heighten auditory perception
  • Use crystals
  • Develop basic listening skills

Meditation

Meditation is a practice of mindfulness, which is to say, honing in on the present moment.

It requires one to clear any thoughts about the past or future and sit quietly in the here and now.

Meditation, along with many other benefits, can help connect you to the spirit world.

Meditation can require a tremendous amount of concentration and can feel difficult to master, but there are many ways to enhance your meditation practice.

A great example of this is found with the Buddha, who practiced meditation in his time.

Gautama Buddha concentrated his mind and placed restrictions on his diet to make it happen.

However, you don’t have to go to the lengths of Gautama Buddha to experience the benefits of meditation.

Modern meditation practice can improve mental clarity, in turn, creating space for you to develop your clairaudient abilities.

Yoga

Yoga also allows you to access an inner state of peace and awareness. Kundalini, in particular, may improve your cognitive abilities and enhance your nervous systems. 

This practice can, thus, awaken your higher self, which will allow you to be susceptible to clairaudient sounds.

Use Crystals

crystals

Crystals could aid in your abilities, as well. Since ancient times, they’ve been used in spiritual practices and as a form of alternative healing.

Examples of this can be found in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The Chinese have also used them in traditional medicinal techniques.

Some specific crystals suggested for clairaudient abilities include:

  • Sapphire
  • Selenite
  • Phantom quartz
  • Labradorite

Sapphire is said to spark spiritual awareness and encourage extrasensory perception.

Selenite helps to purify the mind and heighten communication with higher beings.

Phantom quartz may improve awareness and ward off negative energy. This specific crystal is also known to aid mental focus and in turn, help with meditation.

Lastly, labradorite can also promote clairaudient abilities. Some claim that wearing labradorite earrings boosts mental clarity.

Develop Your Listening Skills

This method may sound too simple, but it might just be the most effective way to develop your clairaudience.

Data analyzed in the Harvard Business Review journal suggests that listening may improve one’s ability to think alternatively and creatively.

Yet, due to our ever-decreasing attention spans and tech obsessions, most of us struggle with this daily task.

Like most things, practice can make perfect, and this is no exception.

One primary way to do this is as follows:

Try to delay your responses when conversing with people. Instead, fully listen to what the other person is saying.

Avoid planning your response or veering off-topic in your head during the process.

You might be surprised at how challenging this is.

However, what happens is that, over time, you become more present and aware, priming yourself for better clairaudient experiences in the future.

Time to Listen

Clairaudience or “clear hearing” is one of the most common kinds of extrasensory perception.

Possessing this skill may provide you with a clear path of communication between yourself and higher spirits or beings.

Recognizing your ability is the first step.

Do you learn best in an auditory manner? Maybe you receive sudden bouts of inspiration or find yourself to be more introverted than extroverted. Pay attention to these signs.

Developing your abilities can take you to the next level and there’s a myriad of ways to make it happen.

I recommend contacting a psychic advisor for free 5-minute reading to get some advice and guidance to start with.

You may want to try out one of the many forms of meditation or practice some Kundalini yoga.

If you find that your listening skills need work, you can exercise those, as well.

With some persistence and discipline, you can hone your clairaudient abilities and enjoy this potent talent.
