Sensitizing Your Sense of Hearing Listen carefully. You might hear the refrigerator cycle, or the icemaker drop a load of ice. Perhaps a motor vehicle passes on the street; is it a car, a truck, a motor bike? Maybe you can hear an airplane; is it a jet, a helicopter, propeller driven? Some voices may drift in from outside; are they adult voices or children's voices? You get the idea. Identify the sounds of the night whatever they may be, including the sound of your own breathing and heartbeat, or the sounds of your partner (if any). Don't overlook anything. Train your hearing to be sensitive to all sounds, especially the soft sounds that may be almost hidden by other louder sounds. When the psychic mind speaks to you, it is often soft and might be drowned out if you are not sensitive to distinguishing all sounds. In the morning, spend a few minutes listening in a similar fashion. Sensitize yourself for the sounds of morning. Do you hear a newspaper being delivered, the hum of traffic, birds chirping, a distant siren? During the day, listen for the sounds of your environment: a television or radio playing somewhere, a ringing telephone, a distant train, a barking dog. Be aware of all sounds, wherever you are. Once you have practiced this exercise a few times and have sen-sitized your hearing ability, you will find that external noises will not distract you, unless you need to be aware of a certain noise for your benefit.
