Notes on listening, inner voice, and silence
Notes on listening, inner voice, and silence
Your internal soundtrack is a complex thing. What are you hearing right now?
Silence and space have called to me since I was in my early 20’s, even though I had no idea how to go about having them for myself.
The biggest challenge I faced as a young adult was being comfortable with the sound of my own voice, and being able to sit in silence. The idea of being alone terrified me, yet I craved having more space for myself. I was on the threshold of creating a relationship with myself that didn’t require everyone else’s opinions about how I was being, in order for me to be okay with myself.
As I stepped into adulthood, and deeper into being an artist, and then a psychic, I started to seek space and silence, or at least a soundtrack I chose, the sounds I wanted to hear. Meditation was the key that helped me to open this locked space within myself.
This week’s newsletter is focused on listening, and the inner voice.
Readings and Healings by Kris Cahill
A clairvoyant reading is a hello to the truth of your spirit, to who you really are as a being in this lifetime. This hello is deep and profound, and can help you to see your way through whatever it is you’re working on having and creating for yourself.
A hello to your spirit is a beautiful gift to give yourself.
New posts this week:
What is your inner voice telling you?
What do you say to yourself, and how do you say it?
Do you speak to yourself as if you trust and value you?
Do you listen to your inner voice? Are you kind to yourself? Can you sing out loud, tell yourself jokes, and reassure the timid, scared parts of you that you’re okay? Or do you judge yourself for being less than you think you should be? Read more
Do you practice the art of listening?
Do you sit and listen, not to the many sounds and noises out in the world, but to the sounds within you?
If you meditate, you may already do this, simply because you take the time to sit still, and to engage yourself in the art of listening.
Stillness is the first part of the art of listening, going within yourself to listen is the next. It’s a simple activity, one that will give you endless insights into the most valuable resource you have, yourself. Read more

Classes start every month: the next class starts on Wednesday, May 3. Read more and sign up for the Foundation Class.
‘Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear’ by Elizabeth Gilbert is a great book!
I read this while visiting family last week, and it was the perfect energy to have with me while taking a break from my usual daily routine. Find it here.
Listening to: Ali by Vieux Farka Touré & Khruangbin
I mostly don’t listen to anything while I’m working, I need silence to write, give readings, teach classes. But, when I’m painting or doing other things, I like to explore and find new (to me) artists to hear. I love this artist and album I recently came across.
