Question about voices during meditation

[JJH]

Hi everyone,

Recently while relaxing down into the meditative state, I've started to notice swatches of "voices" as I descend. The experience is very much like turning the dial of a radio: I get little bits and pieces of others' conversations, questions, pleas and musings, etc. Often only a sentence from each distinctive voice.

I'm aware of the difference between my imagination or "interior monologue" I use to talk to myself, and hearing from sound waves to my ears. This is different. I feel like I am "hearing" these voices, but not from sound to my ears.

I've only started to notice this, as I've been meditating for almost a year now.

My question is, has anyone else had a similar experience, and do you think I should put more effort into "tuning in" to these voices? Or is it simply a distraction on the way to a peaceful meditation?

Would love to hear your thoughts! (no pun intended) Thanks!

[Erin Pavlina]

Tune in and see if you can organize the voices a bit.

Imagine it's like a radio and you're in between stations. Tune in to one or the other and then boost the signal if you can. Let us know what happens.

[Lotus]

JJH,

I do believe I would listen, unless they are saying very ugly things and seem malicious toward you or one another.

What are the voices saying? Have you written it down word for word and actually tried to piece different conversations together out of separate incidents? Looked for themes or topics that reappear?

Could be your subconscious trying to tell you something. Might be third party. Hard to say without more detail.



ON A SIDE NOTE: If you haven't had any paranormal experiences in the past, be aware that hearing voices is a sign of schizophrenia ... I'm not trying to stick a diagnosis on you or frighten you, but you might want to keep that in the back of your mind. Usually though, schizophrenia causes a sensation of hearing voices outside yourself, so the fact that they feel more inside is somewhat reassuring.

[JJH]

thanks, I'll definitely focus on "tuning in" to try get some clarity and let you know how it goes tonight!

To elaborate on the experience a bit: so far it has been like hearing what a bird might hear as it swooped slowly around an apartment complex. Each voice, lasting only a sentence (or less), is a distinctive individual. And the content seems, at first thought, pretty mundane...

I'm not really concerned about it being anything bad for me. It has been very easy to ignore, but now I'm quite curious... will keep you posted!

[JJH]

last night's meditation:

I relaxed down into my level having intended to "boost the signal" of the voices, but all I got was one whisper lasting only about a second. My descent was unusually fast and very relaxing. Then I heard it: the twitting of birdsong. The chirping was the same sensation as the voices the night before, as if being heard, but not through my ears.

Then it seemed I "arrived" at an impossibly bright and beautiful meadow, but I wasn't standing on the ground... It only occurs to me now, that I was looking at the scene from a tree (as one of the birds maybe?).

After what seemed like only a minute there, my audio stopped (my alpha entrainment) signalling the end of my 20 minute meditation. The scene dissolved, and I woke feeling incredibly great and energised.

A new meditative experience for me! Would love to get your thoughts on this strange scene. Thanks

[Dodger27]

Hey JJH,

I used to hear these voices in high school when getting sleepy, but they were intermittent and made no sense at all, just random sentence fragments.

Then, while studying in college and staying up late, say 3:00 - 5:00 am, I would hear more complete sentences; but still I regarded them like dreams, just the mind re-registering memories and causing some feedback into the subconscious of the day's activities.

About 8 months ago, I began to be skeptical of this social assumption that the voices were "simply dreams" as possibly that I was laboring under a primitive understanding with no credible basis from which to make such a pre-judgement. In other words, I considered chaning my mind.

I sat down once or twice a week, later at night and began to listen to the voices, which originate on the right back side of my head behind my right ear. Each night I kept a log of what was said, and made an estimate of the gender and age and attitude of each person speaking.

The BEST analogy I can give what I heard is like an AOL Chat room. Each person took turns speaking, and they seemed to be limited to around 1 to 2 sentences max. Two sentences if they were short. AND...

They did make sense, and had their own opinions. AND....they spoke of seemingly random, but cohesive subject matter. They were in a discussion.

So I began to interject a topic each night by sitting down and mentioning two to three subjects which were important to me, yet were an optional item for discussion. Chatters began to show up and make comments. The comments related specifically to the topics I mentioned about 1 out of every 3 chat lines. Otherwise they were the usual generic and cohesive sets of chat.

Great things I observed:

1. One of the chatters was speaking with my deceased father, and I could hear him respond; although my father did not speak directly to me but once.

2. One of the chatters told me that "Mike's got big news for ya'"....whereupon my best friend Mike called me the next day and announced that he was engaged (a shocker....btw, not an "expected" engagement)...

3. The chatters pretty much let you have it straight up. 75% of the messages are encouragment, but, if they are wanting to criticize, they do (but not in a mean fashion, just straightforward).

4. They don't always show up. Some nights I only get maybe 1 sentence. Other nights I'll get 15 or more.

5. They will not discuss the other side in depth and will not give stock tips.

6. They WILL discuss you and your friends and family in depth.

7. They are NOT overly focused on morality, but are very focused on how you are perceiving and adjusting to life challenges.

8. I never heard a hostile voice, but like a chat room (sans the immature and depraved) there were some who just really didn't care to talk about you or your subjects at all; again, not in a mean fashion. Just matter of fact.

9. Once, while asking about a career change I heard one voice say "You stupid Dodger, don't you know you've got a good thing going?" I scolded him and asked if he would like to step into this clueless realm and start gunslinging judgements around so cavaleirly. He did not speak again and never showed up again.

10. Females and males of all ages show up, except extremely young and extremely old. They all have distinct personalities, and very rarely do they show up more than once or twice.

My conclusion thus far, having set aside the mandatory social assumption is that these voices are real. They are not "me" re-packaged and dreamt. They are and have been the source of many insights and life-saving quick reactions which I have had over the years. They are the source of some pre-knowledge (like knowing when my wife and her friends were pregnant before they knew and MANY other pre-knowledge extreme coincidences). They are in short, a support network. Perhaps a group whom I have known for a long time, and meet repeatedly from time to time or life to life.

[Erin Pavlina]

Sounds like spirit guides to me. Great story! Thanks for sharing!

[JJH]

Fantastic story Dodger27,

I knew there had to be something more to the voices than just "picking up" interference from other people's minds... I've had trouble tuning in in the last week or so, each meditation seems to give me different experiences at the moment. (I'm experimenting with another method, so I'm sure things will get easier once I'm settled into it).

I'm definitely going to keep trying though, and will keep you posted. Thanks!

[The David]

A friend of mine hears voices as she goes to sleep, but she thinks it's just conversations from the day sort of 'echoing' in her mind.

[Adam]

This is something that I would like to try... I've spoken with guides off and on, but never random ones... JJH, what meditation are you using?

[JJH]

Hi Adam,

I started meditating about a year ago after reading a book by Barry Long. Then I started making my own brainwave entrainment soundtracks using BrainWave Generator. I've now switched to Holosync (couple weeks in), and it seems to be the best aid by far.

[Nneka]

Most times, I get impressions, not visions, not sounds just impressions of what to do. Sometimes, I get a dialog going, but it's rare. For me it's one voice, until my recent reading with Erin where I got to know who my Spirit guides are.

I usually get clear direction whether it's a voice or an impression.

If you want to hear more, I would suggest meditating in silence. No guided meditations or scenery. Just you and the voice. Zoom right into it.

I was waking up one morning and hearing a smattering of voices, my eyes were half opening but I was paralyzed. I decided to call out to them and said "Hello?"--noticing that my mouth was not moving, but that I was starting from the same part of my consciousness from which I motivate speech.

The voices called back at me, and were curious (a la "hey, someone can hear us!"). I tried to strike up a conversation with them, telling them my name and they expressed surprise and didn't seem evil, but they were really raspy and talking over each other. Putting a lot of effort into pseudotalking was difficult, kind of painful, and woke me all the way up.

I was disappointed and was only awake for a few moments before I started falling back asleep again. My body was once again frozen, and the babble resumed. After having been awake a little while and considering the dangers, I realized there was a scary component to it--namely, what if I started hearing those voices all the time and couldn't silence them. It might be an unbearable situation.

Still, I prefer experimentation to not knowing. Oliver Sacks and others document cases of people who are blind suddenly being able to see and finding it overwhelming. Then again, they can close their eyes or wear a blindfold if they want to go back...this isn't a matter of being able to cover your ears.

[Dodger27]

I do believe these are spirit guides, especially given the focus which they maintain in almost all interactions. I usually press them to relax a bit, and quit being so serious. I ask my main voice, whom I call Charles, to get some jokes going and make it fun. Charles has a great sense of humor but I am not sure everyone else who shows up does. Not bad humor, just not as prone to levity. Charles always stands back and keeps fairly quiet during these sessions. I am not sure why, but I do get the distinct impression that he is off to the side and extremely proud of his "student/accomplishment" or whatever. Charles in particular, different from the "chat" voices communicates through, impression, smell, voice (behind right ear), circumstantial cues in real life (like words and well placed sentences and images), visual imagery when my eyes are closed...and sometimes audible voice and insistent urging.

When I was in Naval Intelligence, he saved my life by urging me to do something extraordinarily strange under a tight circumstance where I was being pursued by enemies. This extraordinarily strange act caused me to confuse and evade my pursuers, and I was able to escape.

Recently, I was shoved up stageside in front of a group of a couple hundred people unexpectedly to give a speech. I speak often (30 times a year), however have battled stage fright since I was a child. I was not prepared for this sudden request to speak and had an adrenaline reaction and began to shake uncontrollably. No one around me had noticed, but before I went out on stage, I just whispered to the host that the sudden nature of the event had given me a slight stomach upset and that I had to bow out.

I went back to my hotel room and felt devastated for at least an hour. I sat very defeated feeling and saying to myself that I would never speak again, and would give up battling this weakness as a lost cause. Charles came through verbally, visually (with my eyes closed) and spoke right to my face with his mouth right in front of my eyes so that I could lip read. He said over and over "No, no, no, no, no, no." "What You Think, is What You Live." "What You Think, is What You Live."

What Charles has taught me is this: that, the material world is not the principal focus for our lives. Nor are we to focus on a list of good deeds and bad deeds we commit. While these are important, they are not as important as the progress we make in changing our minds and ourselves. Facing down an abusive person, putting away alcohol if it is a problem, changing the way you regard and treat others, turning lethargy into a love of learning and working hard cheerfully. Making progress in these things is more important than attaining the religious good-deeds-outweight-the-bad-deeds deception.

In order for us to safely and securely operate in the spirit world, it is incumbent that we learn to discipline our thoughts and our regard of others. What we think, becomes reality; in part here, but very much so on the other side. If we think of ill things often, then others of the spirit world will not be able to tolerate us in their realm. They cannot afford to, even if they wanted to.

We are like recruits who have been handed a very powerful weapon. We learn to clean it, break it down, load the clip, and fire off a round. Yet, it is not in the knowing how to use the weapon that we qualify to use it. It is in the knowing how NOT to use the weapon where we earn our right to carry it.

There is nothing more dangerous than a room full of new recruits who have just learned their M-16's usage for the first two weeks. If you flipped off the lights and yelled "There he is get him!" They would all be dead within 40 seconds, shooting each other.

In a way, we are the same. We are here where the physical largess prevents our thoughts from killing each other within 40 seconds. A mind, with training wheels, and we are responsible, not to be perfect, not to weigh rights and wrongs on a judgement scale; but to progress and learn. Learn how to exist with others, whose minds can also create their reality and affect ours as well.

Just a hunch, but I've got that feeling. hehe

This is very interesting. Sometimes at night just before I'd fall asleep, I'd hear a voice too. Not from the outside, but from inside my head, just like the other posters. Hardly intelligible, just fragments of speech. It always freaked me out, and I'd wish the voice away. Maybe I should start listening...

[JJH]

this evening, while observing, I heard another voice, this time speaking French. I do not speak French myself, but am pretty good with recognising dialects (even though I don't understand them) and swore it was genuine French. I had lunch at a French cafe today though... (I met a good friend of mine with whom I spoke to about spirituality, hmm)

The French character only stayed for about 30 seconds or so (the longest I've been able to listen to a single voice), and I attempted to speak with him. Either he didn't understand English (if it is a spirit, wouldn't they comprehend any human language??) or became frustrated with me and left.

Hopefully next time I'll be able to have a conversation...?

[wills]

Yes, I've had this experience too.
When I start to drift off to sleep, I can hear the radio-dial type of coversations, some are much louser than others. They never make too much sense. I remember very clearly the first time I heard them, I was sixteen and I'd been noticing that there was all this mumble-jumble going on in my brain.. like a song that gets stuck in your head. So I relaxed into that sound to try and deal with it so it would go away. - I 'picked up' two male voices and one said, "We've GOT to tell her!" and then that was it. I broke concentration.
Now, when I'm having trouble sleeping, I can tune them in. I have not figured out how to keep any one of them around for any length of time, however.

My mother told me I was probably nuts and never to share this with anyone, btw. lol. Good ole mom.

[Aiox]

I will raise a caveat here :

"For the present, we tell you that there are spirits who delight in such personation, and who have the power, under certain conditions, of carrying out elaborate deception. Such take names which they see to be desired, and would reply equally to any name given them. "

"It remains to speak of the agency of a class of spirits who, from mischievous design, or from pure sportive fun, or from love of mystification, frequent circles, counterfeit manifestations, assume names, and give erroneous or misleading information. Such are not evil, but unbalanced spirits who lack even balance, and who delight in plaguing mediums and circles: in giving exaggerated tone to communications, in introducing false elements, or in personating friends, and reading in the thought the answer which they give to a query. The work of such is that which causes you to say that spiritual manifestations are frequently foolish or silly. This is due to the efforts of these spirits, who, from fun or mischief, counterfeit our work, and play on the feelings of those who trust them. These are they who personate relatives whose presence is desired, and answer to their names. These are they who make true identification of friends in mixed circles impossible. Most of the stories current of such return of friends are due to the work of these spirits. These are they who infuse the comic or foolish element into communications. They have no true moral consciousness, and will pray readily, if asked, or will do anything for frolic or mischief. They have no aspiration beyond the present: no desire to injure, but only to amuse themselves."

"They are usually shrewd and clever at such work, and they delight in presenting bewildering phenomena for the purpose of disturbing the mind. They victimise mediums in divers ways, and find a pleasure in the bewilderment of mind which they cause."

"They are able to psychologise a mind over which they have gained influence....These, again, are spirits who befool inquirers who have asked for personal information. They return plausible answers, and bewilder the deluded inquirers, or if a personal friend have once appeared, and given a good test, his or her place on the next occasion may be filled by one of these spirits, who takes the name and replies to queries, giving vague and unsatisfactory replies, or telling false stories. It is always well to put the personal element as far from you as possible, lest you open the way to deceit."

"We deprecate always any unlicensed meddling."

"Doubtless it is perilous for such to meddle, more especially if their interest be only in the marvellous, to gratify an idle curiosity, or to solace their own vanity. "

The above is from Spirit Teachings, by William Stainton Moses, which I would suggest as a 'must read' for anyone interested in spirit communication.

You can read it online here, but it's easier to download it.

The PDF is here, the MS Word version here, and the plain text version (zipped) is here.

I downloaded the MS Word and converted it to a .mht file, can then view it in a browser easily.

Be advised it is a very long, but incredible read.

[Dodger27]

And yet the same spirit which was speaking and whom you cite says:

"And some are chosen because of their loving, gentle nature. They are not the channels of physical phenomenal action in many cases, not even of conscious communication with the spirit world; but they are the recipients of spirit guidance, and their pure and gentle souls are cultivated and improved by angel superintendence. By degrees they are prepared to be the conscious recipients of communications from the spheres; or they are permitted with clairvoyant eye to catch stray glimpses of their future home. A loving spirit friend is attracted to them, and they are impressionally taught and guided day by day. These are the loving souls who are surrounded by an atmosphere of peacefulness and purity of love. They live as bright examples in the world, and pass in ripe maturity to the spheres of rest and peace for which their earth life has fitted them."

So I should avoid this because someone quoted another inerrant book preaching fear? Hmmmmmmm.....

No.

[Aiox]

>>So I should avoid this because someone quoted another inerrant book preaching fear?

I am not one to tell you what you should or should not do.

I simply raise a caution flag, that is all.

[Dodger27]

>>"Doubtless it is perilous for such to meddle, more especially if their interest be only in the marvellous, to gratify an idle curiosity, or to solace their own vanity. "

??????????????? Doesn't sound like a simple word of caution to me.

[Megan]

Anyone who has ever been taken in by a con artist in the flesh has a certain appreciation for how one's immaturity has set one up to believe what one wants to believe, and how difficult, yea impossible, it is to root out every last vestige of that immaturity so that one can look at every potential relationship with clear-eyed innocence. (Don't ask me how I know this.)

Con artists do not come with credentials. It's up to us to learn to stay away from them. No doubt some have found true love at the local bar, but that's probably not the best place to look for it.

Likewise, seeking wisdom from uncredentialed spooks is fraught with danger, I would say. At the very least, it is the danger of learning something about yourself that, in hindsight, you would have been pleased to learn in less expensive ways.

To the extent that we harbor illusions and delusions (and we do!), these will be mirrored back to us, one way or another. If we take the bait and run with it, we miss the lesson, and elaborate the illusion--going nowhere, but enjoying the ride, for the time being. Con artists are specialists at giving us what we want...until we're hooked.

If you're going to truck with spirits, realize that, ultimately, you're trucking with your own subconscious, and that maybe a more organic means of growth, like, say, prayer, would be more healing, if less exciting, I would say. Most of us are ill-prepared to deal with our own subconscious minds, but like the Fool in the Tarot deck, off we trek. It can't be avoided, I suppose, but, still, I had to say it.

The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts
Review by Jonathan Zap

The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts is a spell binding paranormal detective story, elegantly written, and as haunting and irresistible as its title implies. The implications of what British paranormal investigator and writer Joe Fisher discovers, at the apparent cost of his life, are staggering, and have such profound implications for all inhabitants of this particular plane of reality, that as over the top as this may sound, this book may be one of the more important ever written.

The title capsulates, in perfect microcosm, the subject of the book, and also the effect of the book on the reader…at least this reader. I actually had a paranormal experience the last night of reading this book, which I will relate later, that was of a type related to phenomena reported in the book and also related to the “mind parasite” subject which I have written about extensively. This book is itself a rabbit hole, a rabbit hole with a certain suction, an undertow pulling you in as the author is pulled into an ever more high stakes involvement with the phenomenon. (...)

Essentially, this book pulls back the veil on the channeling and spirit guide phenomena, and compels you to look, through a glass darkly, at evil in one of its more beautiful, complex, seductive, ingeniously manipulative forms.

While it is dangerous to be unaware of such dark possibilities and manipulative entities, it may also be dangerous to cast your attention in their direction. Attention is not just internal, it is also a beacon visible to others, and not all of those others are visible to us.

I wouldn't suggest you read the book, but the review might be instructive.

[Aiox]

The gist of the text was simply not all spirits exist for your benefit. As they were in life, so many are after life. Just because they are now on that side of the veil does not mean they are all benevolent and angelic.

>>Doubtless it is perilous for such to meddle, more especially if their interest be only in the marvellous, to gratify an idle curiosity, or to solace their own vanity.

I think their point was if you are to pursue communication, to do so with the proper intent, not to gratify one's ego or perform tricks.

>> Doesn't sound like a simple word of caution to me.

Then ignore it. Not sure what else to tell you, except that it seems you're trying to pick a fight. So OK, you win. I'm completely wrong, all spirits are working on your behalf and you should trust them without reservation. Happy?

[Twelve]

This is amazing. It's really cool to find other people who have had this same experience.

A few times in my life, lying in bed just before drifting off to sleep, I would begin to hear a cascade of voices. Each one spoke only one sentence and none of the sentences seemed to be directly linked. The people speaking all sounded familiar to me and at the time I thought maybe I was listening to their thoughts.

I haven't really taken it seriously for awhile now, but seeing that other people are able to hold decent conversations in this way has intrigued me. I think I'd like to cultivate this ability some more.

Ah youre one smart cookie Megan, I was waiting for someone to broach this subject. Tis true, there are so many influences in the spirit world and when they play they play hard. Where we are cautious explorers they know the territory from back to front and the territory is our minds.

[Megan]

I won't ask you how you know that, Billy.

[Liara Covert]

We hear what we choose to hear, depending on whether open our minds to listen. This doesn't mean we necessarily hear "little green men." It's meaningful to evolve to recognize and deeply sense those things that truly matter. This is ultimate spiritual growth.

[Psychicboom]

That's great that you're hearing voices - this means you're attuning your throat chakra more and more, so i recommend focusing on balancing and cleansing your chakras on a regular basis to help with further information during meditation. Try meeting your spirit guide or angel and grow a relationship with them. psychicboom.co.uk provides lots of information on psychic development and chakra info. Goodluck

[The Coronet]

I have had this experience many times. In fact the last time I had it so strongly, I got up immediately and wrote a song about it, aptly named "voices in my head!" There all sorts of voices chatting all kinds of things, male and female and not voices I recognize. I can tune in to them if I like, but usually I just ignore them and go to sleep. I had assumed its just my brain rehashing earlier experinces and vocalizing them in the same way a dream does with visual stuff. I once took a psychedilic and had the same exerience, the voices were so loud, it was interfering with my listening to music! Usually however it only happens when I am extremely tired and settling to go to sleep. Next time I will listen to what they are saying and see if there is anything of wisdom in there!

[CFPurpose]

Dodger, Thank you so much for your insites on this subject. I very much enjoyed reading them.

It's actually given me some in-site that I had been looking for as I have what I call "A jumble of voices" that I love to hear.

As a child and through my early teens, I would get these sound flashbacks. That is the best way to describe it anyway. Imagine the sound you hear when you walk into a large stadium full of people or when you enter a conference hall will multitudes of discussions being held throughout the room. You'll notice that it's very hard to pin down the exact words you hear. It's a multitude of jumbled voices, different tones and something else you just can't describe. You may actually hear specifics here or there but a few days later, if you were to think back to being in that room, it would be very hard to pin down anything. That sound is what I would hear Mostly just as I woke up and speratically throughout the day. As a child it would make me stop in my tracks and listen. It was familiar to me in some way, however I never could hear it long enough to pin it down but it was so nicely familiar. I'd often be saddened for a quick moment when the sound dissapated. As I got older, the sound didn't seem to come as often.

I would forget about the sound all together until something would trigger it and I'd stop whatever I was doing and try to listen with all my might. It became harder and harder to hear the specifics. I found myself trying with all my might to retrieve certain sounds as soon as I heard it and with dismay, the sound continued to be of shorter length and at longer intervals. I would say that around my late teens, I no longer heard it.

I soon forgot about this familiar bushel of noise.

Well.....

Not to long ago I sat down to try a meditation that I had grabbed off of a website. It had amazing results but you'll never believe what came back!

Funny thing is, these "Jumble of voices" do not come to me while meditating like the rest of you speak of.

After I had came out of meditation, I had left my room to get a glass of water. I came back and crawled up in the bed. I immediately knew 3-4 spirits or entity's were at the end of my bed. I felt no concern. The energy on the bed was extremely high. I acknoledged the pressences politely and looked down to pick up a book. BAM!

The treasured sound flooded my ears. I stopped immediately and tried to listen for as long as I could. It lasted longer than I thought it would and afterward I was simply beside myself. I couldn't believe that I had forgot that sound! When I heard it, it's almost like my heart skipped a beat. After all these years, the familiarness of that sound still could give me goosebumps.


Now that I read this thread, it all makes a bit more since. I was hearing "them." And now that I read this thread, It gave me a bit more direction as to what to do when I encounter the sound again. I can't wait to hear it again so I can move forward! As I often hear 1 spirit guide imparticular, I need to start focusing in more to hear and understand the rest.

I wrote this below in my journal a couple months after the experience:

"I wonder to myself exactly what this so familiar but un-known sound may be or where I picked up the memory. Could it be a memory from the noises I heard as a baby? Could it be a memory of our "home" before we incarnate on earth? Was there a connection between the spirits that stood before me and the high amount of energy encircling my bed that night that triggered the sound again? Could it be a past life memory?

This I do not know but I find it interesting to say the least. As I sit here, I wish the sound could be triggered again so I could try to lasso it with my mind and hold the strange familiarity close to me."


I've had One very strong male voice come through to me durring meditation at least 2 times and each time it has been with something very very significant and quite exciting news at that...... The rest of my information I receive from my guide usually comes as a visual.
