Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

DEAR BONNIE: Late one quiet night, as I sat reading in my living room, a whisper drifted from the next room. The voices felt gentle, ethereal — almost as if they floated on the air itself. Curiosity and a hint of unease compelled me to listen closer. Could it be spirits from heaven? Can something like this really happen? It kinda freaked me out that the voices were coming from the kitchen. I was a little afraid to take a look. I finally did, but no one was there. Thanks, Donna

DEAR DONNA: Whether we can truly hear loved ones through the veil separating this world from the next is a question that has inspired wonder and debate for generations. As a medium who connects loved ones in Heaven to those who are in the physical world, I can tell you this is one of my strongest gifts, and yes, it definitely can happen.

As I tapped into what you were hearing, I heard a dad coming through who liked to sit at the kitchen table and have a cuppa coffee with you. I hope that resonates with you. The ability to convey messages by hearing actual voices is such a blessing, and everyone can develop that power, which is called clairaudience. Now, would you want to hear everyone’s voices from the other side as you went about your daily routine? Probably not. But with practice and patience, you can achieve this ability and learn how to communicate with your loved ones, guides, and angels.

Clairaudience is the claimed ability to hear sounds or voices that are not audible to the normal ear, often described as a form of psychic perception. Those who identify as clairaudient report receiving messages, guidance, or information from spiritual sources — such as loved ones who have passed away, spirit guides, or even angels — through an inner sense of hearing. This experience may come as actual sounds, voices, or music heard externally, or as thoughts and words that seem to arise clearly within the mind, distinct from one’s own inner dialogue.

People who experience clairaudience often describe it as subtle and gentle, requiring a quiet mind and openness to perceive these messages.

If you wish to develop clairaudience, start by creating moments of quiet and stillness in your daily routine. Practicing meditation or mindful listening can help sharpen your awareness and attune your mind to subtle sounds or messages. Pay attention to your inner dialogue and notice if any thoughts or words arise that feel distinct from your own; journaling these impressions can help you discern patterns over time. Trusting your intuition and remaining open — without judgment or fear — will allow gentle messages to come through more clearly. Consistency and patience are key, as this gift often unfolds gradually with practice and an open heart.

It’s not something only mediums can do; it’s something everyone can do with time. Remember, your team of helpers on the other side wants nothing more than to help you on your journey. Have someone special you would like to “hear”? Set an intention by saying it in your mind. I want to hear your voice. Setting an intention shows your team you are ready to communicate.
