Getting a voice

[Emmalevine]

This evening I started hearing a voice in my left ear. I can't make out the words but it's definitely a voice. I've been getting buzzing, ringing, whistling, bells and tinkling in my ears since after Christmas and that has always been there to some extent but intensifies during and after meditation. I don't have any medical issues that would be causing it and as it has coincided with visions I've put it down to psychic ability.

Earlier this evening I did my usual meditation and it was deeper than normal, more lights and dark shapes. I went to bed and the ringing in my ears become so loud it felt like someone was whistling straight through my ear into the other. I could make out different tones and I was trying hard to focus when suddenly my left ear went icy cold, so painful I nearly had to grab it, but it eased. Then I realised a tone in that ear had changed slightly to the sound one makes when tuning a radio - I could just about catch a frequency that sounded like a voice, but it was admist white noise. I've been listening since and while I can't make out any words, I'm 95% sure it's a voice.

How exciting is that :smile: I can't believe how quickly this has all happened. Not sure if it's my guide or general noises of the spiritual realm, but it's wonderful to experience.

Not doubting what you say but are you sure it can't be tinnitus?

I hope it's not any medical thing, obviously you don't think it is.

It sounds semi-painful, though. Prayers for you~

More power to you Starbuck! I'm sure you'll be tuning in better soon.

[Emmalevine]

No its not tinnitus! Trust me, I know my own body. Tinnitus doesn't get worse with meditation and doesn't come accompanied with white lights and spiritual visions. If you look up clairaudience you'll see the symptoms are very similar. I'm not an idiot and I wouldn't go around stating I was having spiritual experiences if it could be put down to something as simple as tinnitus. I've lived with medical issues for 13 years...I know my body.

[Emmalevine]

I thought this was one place where I could share this stuff and not be doubted...it means a lot to me to share what I'm getting, it's so big...I'm really hurt.

[clovelly]

Starbuck, don't feel hurt, you know what the truth is for your body.
I have been reading your posts and really admire the work you are doing to heal yourself plus more.

A few years ago, when I had may some of my chakras open I started getting tinnitus as well. I wish I was fortunate enough to be guided be some experienced people on SF at the time. Instead, I went to a leading ear specialist who was baffled because they thought my hearing was extremely sharp. So unfortunately, I worked at blocking out the static noises instead of tuning in.

You know what is right for you, so keep up the good work! :hug2:

I've felt this way a lot myself. It's no wonder people's throat chakras are usually blocked up.

Thank you Clovelly, your post means a lot. I'm having a bad time at the moment and I guess I'm extra sensitive...

I know that you're more than aware how health issues can make us so 'tuned in' (excuse the pun!) to our bodies. I've had tinnitus in the past, and one particularly nasty bout after flu, and while the symptoms are similar, there is nothing about my current experiences that make me think its tinnitus. It's just ironic beause I'm a qualified alternative therapist as well as being ill myself, and have studied the relationship between mind and body in incredible depth, and yet I'm aware of all my experiences being spiritual. It is so exciting...but so frustrating when I can't share that.

It's such a shame that you learned to block out the white noise, but very easily done through no fault of your own.

My whistling and buzzing increases dramatically when I tune into it and this was how I started to make out the voice. It seems that when we put attention onto what's happening, we open up more. I was vibrating very high last night anyhow after a deep meditation, and my whole head was buzzy and odd, and I kept feeling electrical energy charges in my body. It was very strange but not unpleasant.

Anyway, rambling, but thank you for your post it is appreciated :hug2:

Thank you In Progress...as I said to Clovelly, I'm probably extra sensitive and perhaps too eagar to share, but when there's so few people in my life I can share these spiritual developments with, it's so lovely to share them here. Feeling not understood is frustrating But I can understand how similar my experiences are to tinnitus and don't blame anyone for saying so. It's just one of those things I guess. It makes me wonder how many other people have such experiences and know in their heart of hearts that they';re spiritual and just don't tell anyone in case they're thought of as sick or mentally ill. I bet there's millions.

it's different for me because I have times where my ears change frequency and I hear sounds unexplained, and I heard voices a a few times, which wasn't altogether pleasant, but I don't attribute it to an 'oh wow spriitual' thing. I just think it's normal to a degree, but sometimes a little extreme.

[Emmalevine]

Well that's your experience Gem and that's fine. For me, I've been getting a lot of other things happening and the buzzing/whistling etc forms a part of it. It isn't just a matter of hearing buzzing and immdiately jumping to the conclusion it is spiritual...I am more cautious and analytical than that. I would not be excited to this extent without good reason.

I do agree with you that plenty of people hear all sorts in their ears and don't necessarily attribute it to anything spiritual. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. As I said, I wouldn't think it was without good reason. I have been on this site for four years and never been one to jump to conclusions about anything. It's sad for me that posting something that has genuinely happened and I feel so happy about has brought me down. Yes that's my feeling, but I can't help it.

[Silver]

I'm sorry you feel brought down by something someone said in response to your post, Starbuck. I'm going to send you a PM. {{{Hug}}}

[mac]

wow - steady there. Don't you think you're over-reacting to what were cautious suggestions? You are not the first to describe similar symptoms and if they're down to the causes you're hoping, then all will turn out just fine.

If you're so confident about your symptoms, so certain you know about your body.....then why the concern?

We can't ever know if ".....other people have such experiences and know in their heart of hearts that they';re spiritual and just don't tell anyone in case they're thought of as sick or mentally ill. I bet there's millions." That really is conjecture and I'd have grave doubts about any claim it could be "millions".

I'm sorry to see you so upset but posting in the public domain is almost bound to bring many different interpretations of your experiences. I find that situation with most anything I post here and elsewhere. Draw comfort from inside yourself that you know what's going on and press ahead.

If you're right you probably won't have long to wait and can then come back to post the outcome here on SF. I'll be pleased to hear about it.:smile:

Hi Mac

I'm sorry for my response, yes I've overreacted totally, I do see that it's your interpretation and its natural to make that comment. I guess it just gave me a shock coming from the place I was in, and I'm over emotional anyway at the moment. The concern is really frustration over being misunderstood, or so I perceived it. It's not about any doubts on my part because I'm aware of what I'm experiencing..

I have a lot of respect for your posts and always appreciate down to eath viewpoints (not just yours but any), I think they keep us all grounded. I think this reaction of mine really just comes from where I'm at. I'lll certainly post any updates on what I experience should they be relevant, and hopefully with a little thicker skin! I think this is about self trust and if I know what I'm experiencing it doesn't really matter how others react :smile: I think this is just something about sharing that is painful...

Anyhow, sorry again and hope that's cleared things up and hopefully we can leave it there :smile: I hope this thread will be a useful read for people interested in psychic experiences and development rather than a continuing debate over its validity. That's what I'd hope.

Sounds good to me :smile: :hug3:

Starbuck thats really exciting news I'm thrilled for you and this is a Spiritual forum lol . All the best xx

[LadyB.]

HI Starbuck..

I do have tinnitus,... I also have completely separate 'development' noises, similar to those you describe. They have been happening on and off for about 18 months..

Also a deep tone in my ear (much deeper than the frequency of my tinnitus) is one of the first signals I get that a spirit has come close..

Interestingly, the times that I have heard spirit speaking to me from 'outside' my ear there has been no pre-cursor or 'tuning in' noises it has just happened, (along with the usual feelings of a spirit blending with my energy) It's like listening to someone on an old fashioned 'long distance' telephone call.

Apart from once, when I heard a disembodied voice that spoke to me from the other side of a room, still not sure what/who that was...

I have concluded that 'tuning in' noises are a natural occurrence as our vibrations rise through our development...


I hope this helps...:smile:

Thanks LadyB, that does help. I can understand you being able to distingush the tinnitus from the other sounds because I've experienced both and while the symptoms are similar, they take completely different forms and behave in different ways.

Interesting to read your experiences. My development started with buzzing in my ears and lots of ear ache as I started to open up. This was accompanied by tingling around my crown. Then it became more like white noise with different frequencies, then whistling, but now it sounds more and more like a voice or voices. Last night I sat to meditate and I could have sworn I'd left the speaker for my computer on very slightly or that the guy next door was talking quietly, but I hadn't and he wasn't - it was coming from inside my ears. When I focus on it the whistling intensifies which can be uncomfortable but fortunately during the day it's not a problem as I'm not tuning into it.

Yes, I agree with you that it's our vibration raising. As I said earlier, I've been getting visions and lights as well, and my ears do funny things at the same time as I get a vision or my head goes cold. I'm used to it now!

[Orbie]

I enjoyed reading this as I am interested in reading about being able to distinguish between tinnitus and spritual "noises" for want of a better word. I havent been able to distinguish hence my interest :D Thanks !

[Westleigh]

That's exciting, Starbuck! I hope you'll keep us updated as you progress. I find it very interesting to hear how others progress closer to being able to communicate. I have never had any of the "noise" symptoms (buzzing/ringing/indistinct voices, etc) myself, but I know they are common, and I suspect it is an indication as to where your communication strengths lie - that is, in clairaudience, whereas I've noticed some people are more visual (they begin to see energy or have visions) and others are more "feeling" types (feeling energy/emotions/sensations). I fall into the latter camp, though I do receive telepathic communcation too.

I've never had tinnitus either, so I wouldn't know where to make the distinction... :smile:

Keep practicing!

[Emmalevine]

Glad it's helping people! No voices today but some odd meditation experiences as described above. I have had some visions and I see lights/colours ever since a kundalini awakening just after Christmas, but the white noise is in my ears to some extent all the time. Fortunately it doesn't bother me unless I tune into it and then it gets louder.

[Emmalevine]

I'm still hearing what sounds like a dodgy radio that can't quite pick up the signal, but two nights ago I experienced something else. I was listening to the white noise in my ears as I drifted off to sleep. I then dreamed I walked across my landing and then came back to bed. As I did I heard a very loud, female voice directly next to my ear. It was talking but I sadly don't know what it said. I suddenly woke up and the white noise had got louder but I couldn't hear the female voice. I am sure this wasn't a dream or if it was, it was simply that I was temporarily more receptive to the voice due to being in dream state. I am very curious by the fact I dreamed of myself walking across my landing - it makes me wonder if it was lucid dreaming or astral projection. Any thoughts? I might post this in the astral forum. Later that night I dreamed I was in a beautiful calm pool of water and telephone call boxes were stationed all around me! Hmm interesting.

[Emmalevine]

Voices getting closer, plus loads more tingling and coldness around my crown. I literally just sat to meditate yesterday and my crown chakra went crazy, then at night the voices started very quickly and moved from ear to ear at different times. I definitely opened up more last night after some slight ear ache during the day and I seem to be hearing everyday sounds more vividly too.

Hi Starbuck ((HUGS)))

Gosh I've not been on in a while but I ended up pulling up this thread of yours and see I've had a similar experience..

I think it's your post #24 where you describe hearing what sounds like static on the radio and then later hearing the voice of a lady..

I had the same thing happen excepting the part where you recall yourself moving out of the room (in your dream or astrally)..

In my case, I do not recall being in a dream state or experiencing any other kind of phenomena other than relaxing and just about to drift off to sleep.

Regarding the static I hear, I haven't heard anything clearly in the way of voices, but one night after listening to the static I just started to doze off & I heard a woman's voice as if she were standing 3 feet away IN our bedroom. :icon_eek:

Like you, I didn't catch what the female said at all unfortunately. I was taken aback tho' and called to my hubby who never woke.

I tried to sense if there was a spiritual presence after I relaxed a bit but felt nothing so I assume that I was just tuning in the astral realm.

To clarify, the voice didn't come thru that static that I listen to.. It wasn't like it finally 'sharpened up' for me & I heard that.

It was something that happened afterwords when I was in a deeper state of relaxation.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

And, I'm interested to see how this develops for you. After a while I just assumed that it's because I'm just 'more sensitive' these days, and that there wasn't any real reason or meaning behind the experience. It sounds like this is leading some where for you so I'm excited for you!

Thank you for sharing.. It sure is nice to know there are others with similar experiences that we can share with one another. :hug2:

Love to you,

Cam/EarthMamma

[Emmalevine]

Thank you for sharing your experience Earth Mamma!

I think we are all prone to hearing voices of the astral, especially in dream state, and this can be a one off because we're temporarily more receptive to other realms when relaxed.

My experiences started with what seems to be a spiritual awakening soon after Christmas and my clairaudience has developed from there.

Last night I was listening to the muffled voices in my ears as I drifted off to sleep. I still can't make out the voices except as very faint and amongst lots of static, very much like a radio that keeps going out of signal.

Anyway, I went to sleep very briefly and then I suddenly heard a male voice loud and distinct next to my ear. I couldn't hear what he said because I jolted awake and it was back to the muffled white noise again.

This has happened twice recently, and it makes sense that I'm getting voices in sleep first considering I'm more receptive in dream state.

So I think I'm making progress :smile:
