If clairaudience is one of the gifts that you feel is your means of communication with your spiritual guides and helpers but you do not know how to train this wonderful gift then it is time for you to join a development class.

Notes are given below on opening up a gift as a trainee medium.

Let me give you some information about the start of realisation you are clairaudient and how you could become a trainee medium; it may be that you can already hear voices, for others please note that sometimes a voice can be heard when you wake up but would disappear when you undertake your daily tasks. Try to check if you feel as though you have heard voices just outside of the normal hearing sense, as though a person is actually talking to you and they are in the room. For some people they may just remember voices in their dream state.

A ringing in the ear would normally cause a person to worry they are starting with a problem with loss of hearing, however, this can also be the start of your awakening to becoming open to clairaudient sounds (always check with your local GP that your ears are ok).

Most talented musicians and composers are often clairaudient; this is because they can hear a melody in their heads before they write it down.

If you are not sure if you are sensitive then try out this seven day exercise:

Sit propped up on your bed, make an effort to listen to the outside world, whether it is cars passing by or the birds making their tuneful noise, maybe an aeroplane is passing over your house or the neighbours are talking out loud in their gardens.

On a normal day a person automatically shuts out these noises so they can sleep and not be disturbed, a professional medium that regularly works in churches or gives private readings would be able to separate the noises when they are working.

Take your time and try to listen to all the sounds and recognise their individuality.

The loudest sounds will be easy so you can count those first, write down the number you recognised on a piece of paper over the next seven days and listen for the sounds that are a little more subtle, count them and make a note.

When you have done this for a week you should be amazed at the number of sounds you have recorded. One word of warning however, if you are too tired you will automatically fall asleep, but do not give up; just try again the next night.
