Being solemn is defined as being formal, dignified, and sincere. Solemness is about being serious about what you are focused on at the moment. One way to enhance your psychic ability is to practice solemness in ways that help you focus on all that is happening around you. I am here to explain some simple ways to help you connect to nature and become more self-aware so your psychic hearing can develop in a stronger manner.

Clairaudience is the psychic ability to hear things that others ignore or cannot hear. Some of the signs that you possess clairaudience are that you hear things others cannot from the astral realm. This can be words from your spirit guide, animal noises, music, or other tones like bells. You may also be more likely to speak to yourself or hear a “wise voice” that comes from within you but from a different place. The sounds you hear will not be scary or critical but helpful as guides. Children with clairaudience tend to have imaginary friends that serve as guides.

Those with clairaudience usually crave peace and quiet, much like an introvert, but more because they have a sensitive soul that needs time to relax and recuperate. Many clairaudients are musically sensitive or gifted and can easily play by ear or truly relate to music. However, some may regularly hear ringing or unusual noises that others do not sense.

Clairaudience may also be experienced as part of telepathy with humans, plants, and animals. This may be demonstrated by things like sensing where your dog will sit, and it actually does. You may also sense what someone close to you is thinking with regularity, almost as if you can hear their thoughts. These are forms of clairaudience.

Using Solemness

Solemness and quiet can be used to strengthen clairaudience. To build up this ability, you must learn to tune in to what most others ignore. The easiest way to do this is by getting out in nature. Find a quiet spot, preferably after the stars have come out, and lay on the grass. Take the time to feel the grass and ground beneath you. Find a comfortable spot and close your eyes. Tune into the sounds that are all around you. Can you hear the winds moving leaves? Can you hear crickets? Can you hear animals making noise or moving around? Try to focus on each individual sound, honing in on the source. Try to hear the softest sounds, like a moth flapping its wings or a twig snapping. As you do this, allow your mind to clear and try to focus on other soft sounds.

This is the way you can build clairaudience over time, by focusing on the smallest and softest sounds. Over time, you will be able to do this even in noisy environments. You are training yourself to tune in to the sounds most others ignore. As you connect further, your skills will improve.

Life is full of uncertainties, but the one thing we can all be certain of is that we have a limited amount of time in this life. Whether you believe in Heaven, Hell, reincarnation, or something else, we all only have a given amount of time. The worst part is we never know how long that time limit is, but we can decide what we do with the moments we have. This means that we choose what to invest our time in is up to us for the most part. This does not mean we can skip work and ignore family or other obligations and expect life to move forward in a positive way, but it does mean we can choose which activities. to pour free time into in our lives.

Choosing Where to Invest Time

Since we have options when it comes to investing our free time, make sure to choose things that will bring positivity into your life. This may mean having to cut out the time you invest with ungrateful people or organizations, but it will be worth it. Ungrateful people are those that you have invested time, effort, and possibly money into, but they have been unwilling to seek real change. Those who seek your help but continue to do things that are harming themselves are no longer being helped but being enabled. When we continually invest in the ungrateful among us, we are creating a bigger problem. This is not to say that everyone must pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, but that some change on the person’s part should be evident.

Knowing when someone is no longer worth investing in is tough because it is probably someone you love. Still, for your own well-being, it is often necessary. Keep in mind that being grateful is about much more than someone saying thank you. It is about working toward bettering oneself. When someone is simply accepting help without making changes, even small ones, then they are ungrateful. You must learn to walk away from those who are ungrateful for your own safety and sanity.

Other Issues

Another side effect of continually investing in those who are ungrateful is a change in your energy levels. Those who are constantly taking your time and energy are leaving their negative energy behind. This can cause you to become misaligned within your chakras and to feel unbalanced mentally. You must decide whether you continually want to give of yourself to a single person or help others that can grow and eventually help others themselves. There are few things you can truly control in life, but whom you invest time in is one you truly control.

Another potential issue is not one that is seen if you continually invest in the ungrateful. If you waste your time on the ungrateful, others you could have potentially helped, and all those they could potentially help are left without your time. If you want to put the best into the world as possible, move on to someone else. Later on, the ungrateful person may change their ways and receive help, but until that time, you have to make the choice for yourself.

It is your time to invest; what are you going to do with it?

Sadly, life is full of lies. Some of these are tiny white lies like “your dress looks great” or “she’s busy,” when these are untruths that are not hurting anyone but are still lies. There are also bigger lies that we tell one another that may cause harm but may not have been intended to at the moment. There is a very dangerous type of lie, though, the lies we tell ourselves.

The lies we tell ourselves are dangerous for a host of reasons. One relatively minor reason is that lying to ourselves can justify an unfair advantage. Let me explain. If we receive an unfair advantage, even if we did not ask for the advantage, viewing it as earned on merit is a lie. This type of lie will make it harder to discern and reward real merit and reward it when it is present.

Another dangerous truth that we often do not want to face is quite dangerous, that of a lethal habit like drug abuse or alcoholism, or even an abusive relationship. These lies are not just dangerous to the mind but dangerous to the body. If we are not willing to admit to the truth then the path could become physically dangerous or lethal.

Why is Lying to Ourselves Dangerous?

Telling ourselves lies is dangerous because, over time, we harden ourselves to our own desires. When we are willing to lie to ourselves, we become able to ignore our own wants and needs. When we continue to deny our own wants and needs, we can go down a path in life that is unsafe, unhealthy, and, most of all, unhappy. These types of lies lead us to a lack of self-awareness because the lies have cut us off from our awareness. Self-awareness is meant to refine us, so a lack of it will leave us stuck in whatever life we create without the ability to make real changes. If we end up stuck for too long, we can grow hostile toward ourselves and others.

What Can be Done?

It can be difficult to quit lying to ourselves because it is often so painful. The first real step is to admit you have been lying to yourself and then to take a full, realistic view of how your life is going and what lies you have been telling yourself. Once the lies are identified, do not focus on them but the opposite. Whatever we focus on will stay in control of our lives, so we must reword the lies into the truth we want. For example, I am not an alcoholic, and even when you are, can turn into I can work toward no longer letting alcohol control my life. The goal is to set realistic goals with achievable steps that can be attained over time. As progress is made, we must continue to be brutally honest with ourselves. If a failure occurs, be honest about why you failed and move forward.

Keep in mind the truth, even with ourselves, will always set you free.

Life is hard. Life is also constantly changing. We can be on top of the world one day and feel buried below the dirt the next. On top of that, we are rarely where we want to be in life. Some people believe this is just how life is and are miserable, but others have figured out the secret to how to get from where we are to where we should be.  That secret is shared here:

“I am learning every day to allow the space between where I want to be and where I am to inspire me and not terrify me.”

So, what does this secret mean in practical terms? We all have areas of life in which we are not where we want to be. Sometimes the gap is huge; sometimes, there is just one big obstacle in the way. Regardless, we see that gap or challenge and allow fear to enter our minds. The trick to being able to close that gap is to let the space or gap inspire instead of terrify you. It is human nature to give up when an obstacle is reached, but if we can change that mindset, great things can happen. There are a few straightforward steps you can take to help yourself along the way.

• Understand the Goal

If you are not where you want to be, but do know what the goal is, then write it down. Just living life for the journey without trying to reach a goal will leave you wondering in circles. Start with the goal.

• Create a Plan

You know your goal, and you know where you are at the moment. Take time to write out the major steps that are needed to get from point A to point B. These should be broad steps at least at first.

• Break It Down

Look at each major step and break it down into smaller, measurable steps. These smaller steps will become smaller goals.

• SMART Goals

As the bigger steps are broken down into smaller steps, create SMART goals. SMART goals are specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

• Get Started

Start making progress on your goals. With each victory, big or small, find a way to celebrate and know you are moving closer to where you want to be.

Examples:

It can be tough to put this into action, so we will share an example. Let’s say you are currently overweight and want to get in better shape. Your plan may begin with the words “Overweight/Weak” and end with “In Shape/Healthy Weight.” Getting from one point to another will involve exercise, joining a gym, eating healthy, and practicing control. Next, you want to set SMART goals. One potential SMART goal for this journey may be “Lose two pounds in one week by exercising for 5 minutes a day and eating one healthy meal a day.” This is a realistic goal that is time-bound, relevant to the goal, measurable by the scale, and achievable.

There is no need to fear the space between where we are and where we want to be if we can break it down and track progress over time. Start tackling your space today.

Every person has thousands, if not millions of thoughts each day. Some of those thoughts are purposeful, some are automatic. Automatic thoughts are those we do not recognize until attention is drawn to them. For example, you do not think about every breath you take unless someone brings it to your attention and then, you think about breathing until something interrupts that train of thought. Those are not the thoughts that are being addressed. Instead, we wish to talk about purposeful thoughts. These are the thoughts you choose to focus on during your day for whatever purpose.

As we focus on these purposeful thoughts, we must also bring in the Law of Attraction into play. The Law of Attraction states, in the simplest terms, that we attract what we radiate. To put this another way, what we put out into the world we will receive back or reap what we sew. No matter how you choose to word the Law of Attraction the meaning is the same. Keeping this in mind, you must understand that our thoughts are things we put out into the world as well.

“Each thought is an investment that pays immediate dividends, so invest wisely. You have the power to choose your thoughts and align them with love, peace, and harmony.”

Every purposeful thought we have can put positive or negative energy out into the world. If you choose to focus on the negative, then that same negativity will drive your actions and behaviors, and bring similar activity back into your life. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. If you choose to focus on the positive, your behaviors and actions will follow and bring positivity back into your life. You must learn to capture every thought and decide whether it is worth the time and return to invest in focusing on it. The choice is yours alone as no one can control your thoughts or focus.

When you choose to invest your thoughts wisely, our actions and behaviors will follow and what life returns to you will as well. This does not mean that all your thoughts, actions, or returns will always be positive or always be negative, humans cannot operate in such extremism without ever wavering. Life will never be completely perfect, nor all bad. However, we can attract the things we want or need most by investing our thoughts wisely.

What do you want most out of life long term? Are your thoughts investing in that area? Are you putting positivity into the world to bring positivity back? Start by answering these questions. If necessary, begin to invest your focus and thoughts toward the right things so the Law of Attraction can be helpful. The spirits in control of the Law of Attraction will gladly attune to your energies to higher frequencies if you ask and control your thoughts toward the positive. You choose how to invest. You are in control of your thoughts. Make sure you are investing for the good of self and others.
