Day 2.
Going back to basics. Study and study.
EXERCISE 1 — SIMPLE MEDITATION
1. Connecting to the Flame: Start by staring into the flame. Sit a comfortable distance away from it.
For some people, the light may be too intense. If that is the case, stare past the flame. Look at the
light and the shadows behind it. Let your eyes go in and out of focus. Turn all your attention to the
fire before you. Feel the flame giving off white light, all the colors of the spectrum. The light fills
the room you are in and protects you from all harm. Some people say a short prayer or invocation
to any personal deities.
2. Relaxation: As you stare at the candle, stray thoughts will come into your mind. You may have
difficulty focusing solely on the candle. This is normal. Coach yourself through a relaxation of
your entire body, starting at the top of your head and moving down. Relax the muscles in your
head, face, neck, and shoulders. Feel your jaw relax. It is as if gentle waves of water are flowing
down your body. Pay attention to the sensations of release and then let them go, moving on to the
next part of your body. Relax your shoulders and arms, hands and fingers. Feel all tension leave
you chest and torso. Work through your trunk, until all tension has been released. Work down
through your legs to your toes. You entire body relaxes.
3. Going Deeper: Count backward from 12 to 1, counting each breath, still looking at the candle
flame. With each number, you go deeper into your meditative state. Let all extraneous thoughts go
as you count. As they arise, acknowledge and release them. Thank your conscious mind for
sharing, but now let it take a break for a while. Tell your ego that it does not have to be “in the
driver's seat” for this. All outside noises only serve to deepen the experience. You will react to
them only for your safety and highest good. Feel a gentle soothing sensation fill your body. Youare comfortable and relaxed. It feels much like a lazy afternoon of daydreaming. The feeling of
daydreaming is the alpha state. You have reached your meditative state with ease.
4. Being Open: Be open to whatever feelings, sensations, or experiences you are having, without
judgment. You are only looking for a period of relaxation by quieting the internal dialogue. This
can be difficult. If you slip out of this state, gently coax yourself back in by relaxing your body and
counting down. Just be. You do not have to do anything. Feel yourself simply at the center of your
own universe, your own perspective.
5. Grounding: When this experience feels complete, consciously count yourself from 1 to 12 and open
your eyes. As you return, you may feel light-headed and not quite all together. This is a normal
response. You need to ground yourself back to this reality. Such flightiness is often caused by a
deep meditation or energy work. That is why so many New Agers have a reputation for being a
little “out there.” Most are just a bit ungrounded. To ground yourself, get on the floor and visualize
any remaining energy flowing down into the earth. If you feel as if you are floating, imagine a ray
of light passing from the base of your spine down into the earth, like a string tying a balloon down.
Some people do something physical, like standing up, moving around, holding on to a piece of
furniture, or hugging a tree. Eating is another excellent way to ground. That is why so many rituals
use bread or cakes as part of the ceremony, to ground you afterward. Experiment and find a
technique that works for you.
Even though you can eventually feel and perceive more than usual, you may not
do so at first. That is perfectly normal. Right now, concentrate on achieving a
daydreamlike state. Keep your expectations simple. Some people have very
moving experiences and cry afterward, but that is quite rare. Most people think
“no big deal” and cannot figure out what meditation has to do with magick. They
are looking for action. The link between the two will become more apparent as
we go along.
Practice this exercise. The more often you do it, the easier it will be. This is
the first building block, one that may already be familiar to you. Soon, you will
no longer need the candle and will be able to achieve this sensation in a matter of
moments. It is a great trick when you are stressed out at work or with your
family.
Achieving your trance state is the first step. By visualizing in this state, you
affect reality. Magick consists of making a change with your will. All its forms
have many practical applications. For instance, you are running late for work.
You may be fired if you are late again. Don't panic, relax. Relaxation is the key.
You don't even have to get into a deep trance state while driving to work. Just
get a moment of relaxation. Imagine yourself getting to work on time, safely and
easily. Imagine yourself walking in and looking at the clock. You are exactly ontime. No one is angry. Then keep on driving, safely, confident that your magick
is working. Reality will conform to your expectations. If you don't think you will
be late, then you will not be. This is a great way to get parking spaces by the
door. Visualize a spot near the door about ten minutes before you reach your
destination. Visualization is co-creation in action. I did not think you could use
magick or spiritual discipline for such things, but my teachers encouraged me.
This little trick kept me sane during college, trying to find the ever-elusive
parking space on a crowded city campus. Magick lets you flow with the universe
and makes life easier. Things become less of a struggle. They flow easily when
you are in the right place at the right time, doing what you need to be doing.
Visualization is one way to tell the universe what you need.
Color and light are ways to manipulate energy in physical reality. By
visualizing different colored light, you can change reality in situations that may
be too complex to visualize in detail. If family gatherings are particularly
argumentative, try this before going to the next one. Get into your trance state
and picture everybody at the gathering surrounded by blue light or blue mist.
Blue brings peace. It heals the spirit. At least, that is my interpretation of it.
What do the colors mean to you? Each one has a different energy and has a
different effect when used in a trance, changing with the practitioner's beliefs.
Crystals to Develop Clairaudience (and how to use them)
3 Fab Crystals to Develop Clairaudience
1. Phantom Quartz
Phantom quartz is one of the most fabulous crystals to develop clairaudience.
These mesmerizing crystals actually help OPEN clairaudience and have “ghosts” of crystals within them from where the crystal stopped growing and then started again.
They are also SUPER high-vibe so they improve your connection to your Spirit Guides, Higher Self, and the Akashic Records.
Tip: I don’t recommend that you place this particular crystal in your pocket or purse because you might forget you have it. And you don’t want to be too psychically “open” while at the super market! (Ask me how I know this!)
And just so that your eyeballs don’t fall out of your head, be forewarned that Phantom Quartz is pricey. BUT, you can totally substitute Clear Quartz for Phantom Quartz, as it can take on the properties of any crystal. Simply set the intention of Phantom Quartz for clairaudience development. Voila!
2. Selenite
Selenite is another great supporter of clairaudience!
This milky white crystal is said to:
Provide clarity of the mind (and who can’t use a little more of that?) :)
Help connect you with the angelic and higher realms
Support you during meditation and energy work
Increase clairaudience
Basically it’s a great all-purpose crystal to add to your collection and one of the best crystals to develop clairaudience.
Shop my favorite Selenite here.*

3. Sapphire
Don’t let the beauty of this crystal fool you — it packs some serious power.
Sapphire is well known for:
Wisdom
Increasing psychic abilities (including clairaudience!)
Promoting spiritual awareness
Helping you reach your full potential in this lifetime (Yes, please!)
Shop my favorite Sapphire crystals.
But it’s important to note that all crystals hold powerful energy. So if you’re at the store and feel drawn to a crystal not on the list — make sure to take it home with you!

You can even take this fun Crystal Test to see which crystal
Crystals can also help you sleep, recall dreams, clear negative energy, deepen meditation, and more. Long story short: You can’t have too many crystals (thankfully).
Tip: set up a psychic development board on Pinterest. Then, hover over the image to save it!
How to Use Crystals to Increase Clairaudience
Once you’ve selected your crystal (or left the store with all 3 — no judgement here) it’s time to get to work.
Try a few of these (or all of them) and see which you like best!
During Meditation
You’ll be hard pressed to find a clairaudience development post on my blog that DOESN’T mention meditation, and this is no exception. :)
On your third eye. Try meditating in savasana (or corpse) pose, with your Phantom quartz, Selenite, or sapphire on your third eye.
On your throat chakra. Get into a savasana pose and place your crystal of your choice on your throat chakra. The throat chakra (which has to do with communication) is connected to your clairaudient abilities.
Hold it. Hold your crystal as you meditate in your traditional position. (These Selenite harmonizers* are PERFECT to hold during meditation!)
With any of these options, you’ll experience a deeper connection to your Higher Self and Spirit Guides who will help you develop your clairaudience.
BTW, if you need a hand getting started with meditation, this post will help.
These crystals are small enough to place on your chakras during meditation: Selenite, Clear Quartz*
Wear Your Crystal!
This one is so much fun! Fashion your Phantom quartz, Selenite, or sapphire into a necklace and develop your clairaudience while looking fabulous! If you choose to go this route you can have someone make your crystal into a necklace or purchase one pre-made.
During meditation. Wear your necklace during meditation.
While practicing. Put your necklace on and wear it while doing psychic development exercises! I LOVE to teach this tip to beginner psychics because it helps signal the universe that you are open to receiving psychic impressions as you wear it!
When you are done wearing your crystal necklace, be sure to “charge it” by saging it or letting it sit in the sun. This will clear its energy and allow it to receive positive light.

During psychic development exercises
To get double-duty from your psychic development exercises:
Hold it. Hold your crystal of choice as you practice one of these clairaudient exercises.
Keep it close. Place the crystal near you as you practice.
Catch some Zzz’s
Take advantage of your Zen state during sleep with your new-found crystal! This will increase your clairaudience while you sleep and improve dream recall – it doesn’t get much simpler than that!
Near your head. Sleep with the crystal near your head (near the pillow or on the nightstand).
Under your bed. Make a crystal grid and sleep with it under your bed. Tip: Crystal grids are powerful ways to declare intentions.
Crystals to Develop Clairaudience Takeaways
Obviously you don’t want to skip crystals when it comes to developing clairaudience. Not only are they gorgeous to look at, they punch up your psychic development and take it to the next level.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren’t amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I’d love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
