So you want to talk to spirits?
Here are my suggestions and ways of going about doing so!
Talking with spirits is a clairaudient a way of learning to hear them through your mind. It is something learned, not something that just happens (unless their is a brain imbalance or you have a serious spiritual awakening). It takes months to practice, and it’s safe to give it time to develop like any human skill.
It’s important to understand that you’re human and vulnerable to spiritual harm. I advise reading this and practicing at least one of them before any communication with a new or unfamiliar spirit. You should also master these techniques first and learn about chakra healing before trying to talk with spirits. Know yourself as a spiritual being first.
Step One: Clear Your Mind
Find a quiet place, where you won’t be interrupted. Silence your phone, unplug, lie or sit down.
Get comfortable. You want to minimize physical discomfort.
Focus on your breathing or practice any other techniques to clear your mind. This is the first step to any meditation.
Some ways of clearing your mind are to focus on breathing (the sensation, including the chest, throat, mouth, sound, etc); and to observe your thoughts and swipe them away, like clearing a tablet screen, chalkboard, etc (keep doing this until it’s a blank space).
Don’t worry if some thoughts filter in. Just breathe or swipe them out. We’re human, we think. Thinking won’t ruin your chances of hearing a spirit.
Step Two: Contact the Spirit
Ask politely something like this (modify if needed): “[Spirit’s name], I wish to be blessed with your presence, if it is in my best and highest interest. I have cleared my mind for us to communicate and I will wait here for your response.”
Wait. Just keep breathing and don’t seek anything. When you hear a spirit, you’ll be surprised at the “volume” of the thought. It will just sort of hit you, or you know something was said that you didn’t think. You don’t need to seek their voice, just stay still and internally present.
Be confident! You can hear and you probably are just waiting for the spirit. It’s a good idea to ask a couple, or to address your guardian. Then you’re more likely to get a response.
Once getting a response, ask if they are [spirit’s name]. You want to make sure you’re talking to the right person! It’s also a safe thing to say “if you are not _____, please leave, unless they directly instructed you to communicate with me and you are here in my best and highest interest.”
Not all spirits will respond. The higher up the spirit, the busier they are. It’s really dependent on why you are communicating and who you were in a past life.
Some spirits are sassy as hell. Brace yourself.
Sometimes the spirits won’t leave, and they can be distracting in your day (but you can shut off your hearing just by intending to).
Some spirits like new friends. Prepare yourself for a relationship in case the spirit is seeking to know you. They have feelings too!
Don’t forget to be cautious before contacting every new spirit. Better safe than sorry!
Trust yourself. If you’re meant to hear, you will. If not, try again tomorrow.
You probably won’t hear a distinct voice for every spirit. Some people do, but most just intuitively know who they’re talking to. Spirits have the same “voice” as your own thoughts a lot of the time.
