Free Advice from Angel Intuitive, Eileen Smith

Hi Eileen,

angels I had gone to bed early and awoke to a choir singing a hymn that sounded like the Lord's Prayer. I thought my husband, who was in another room, was watching a television show that was playing a church hymn. I wondered what he was watching but I went back to sleep. The next morning I asked him what show was he watching last night with the church song. He said none of the shows he watched had church songs. I asked my neighbor if she was playing church songs last night and she said no. Was I hearing the angels sing this hymn? It sounded like a gothic or Episcopal or Methodist type hymn with no instruments, only voices. The main voice was male but there were female and male voices. The words of the song had "His will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven! The power and the glory, forever." Were these angels? What is the message? Why were they singing to me?

Chrissie


Dear Chrissie,

Oh my, how wonderful. Yes, this was an experience of clairaudience that came from the higher realms. They want you to know about the wonders of spiritual life and to reconnect and bring that part of yourself into your daily life.

These are less common than other mystical experiences, to hear the music of the Higher Realms, so how blessed that was! I had a similar experience once and I will never forget the sound. For a few seconds I heard a female voice accompanied by the sound of bells or something like bells. I am sure the actual sound cannot be duplicated on this Earth. It truly was angelic and ethereal and it came from the ceiling during meditation.

This occurs most of the time to people who are "wired" to be clairaudient which is one of the more elusive of the claires. Ironically, as the most elusive gift it is also the one gift that most people expect to have. In my previous question in this column we discussed that everyone is wired with gifts to be aware of the Divine so be sure to read that. I'd also like to discuss how to figure out how you are wired and how to fine tune it.

  • Do you just know things without knowing why?
  • Do you tend to have a analytical mind? Are you male?
  • Are you a student of life, a scholar, avid reader or love to learn?
  • Are you good at math, a computer whiz, or consider yourself to be highly intelligent?
These types of people tend to be wired for Claircognizance or "clear knowing." Some ways to connect with this gift are meditation, guided imagery, energy work (especially in the crown chakra, head and shoulders), flower and gem elixirs and journaling. Try to catch yourself having negative thoughts and counter them with a positive thought. Crystals, especially clear quartz and citrine, work in your ears (i.e. earnings) or around your head.
  • Do you feel the hurt and pain of others?
  • Do you know how an event or circumstance feels for someone else even though you have never experienced it yourself?
  • Do you find yourself feeling low when you are around stressed or negative people?
These people tend to be wired for Clairsentience or "clear feeling." This is the more common claire among humans, horses, dogs and most animals. If you have this gift it is important to keep your body clear of negative energies you pick up from others. Some ways to connect with this gift are being out in nature, gardening, tending to plants, interacting with animals, laughter, massages, flower essences, gem elixirs and sea salt baths. Crystals, especially rose quartz, worn around your heart. Try not to watch or listen to TV that will upset you. Be around uplifting people. Your surroundings and home is very important. Keep it uncluttered and do things to create positive energy in the home. Movement such as walking (especially in nature) helps to keep clear. Be sure to get energy work, especially around the heart chakra and the abdomen.
  • Do you have conversations with yourself in your head?
  • Is music very important to you and can it change your mood?
  • Do loud, abrasive sounds disrupt you?
  • Can you identify people and actors from their voice?
These people tend to be clairaudient. Some ways to connect with this gift are through guided music imagery, uplifting channeled music and energy work around the third eye and ears. Try to catch yourself when you are saying negative things. Wear crystals in your ears (i.e. earnings).
  • Are you a visual person?
  • Do you love the visual arts, paintings and movies?
  • Is the beauty that surrounds you important?
  • Are you very drawn to color and can see variations in colors others can't?
  • Do you have an active imagination and consider yourself creative?
These people tend to be Clairvoyant, or "clear seeing." Some ways to connect with this gift are through guided imagery, color therapy, guided meditations, making your surrounding visually uplifting, painting and energy work around the third eye. Crystal energy work and crystals in your home, especially amethyst, are important. Try wearing or placing the amethyst around your head area.

Walk in beauty and may Grace be on your path,

Oh how wonderful it is to hear the voices of our higher selves. I have on several occasions (during sleep mostly but occasionally – right next to my ear) actually had conversations with “others” who provided me with answers to my concerns and situations.

One time in particular was the voice of what I know was God helping me during a particularly rough patch in my life. I will never forget the sound of the voice.

This article has reminded me to once again become aware and listen. Thanks for such a great article.

For many years I had this sensation of hearing like coirs of many people singing,I guess that was the ciors of angels singing.This usually happened when I was in bed And ready to drift out to sleep.Usually I tried to put my mind and ear to the corous but I just went to sleep.Those were the days that I do really had a trully restful sleep.

Hi Eileen,
I was so pleased to read the article about angels singing and must say that I hear them daily especially at around 2 to 4am and I alo receive feathers weekly. I thought the feathers were from my mom who passed away a year ago as I made a pact with her that if I was sad she would send me a feather. Thanks for the wonderful insight.

I have heard the angels singing for a year now. It happens all the time, while I’m driving, in the shower at quite moments in my day. I have turned many times to my family and asked if they can hear it, they all say no and look at me like I lost my mind. The sound of beautiful voices singing in harmony is magnificent. I am very spiritual but not religious and I know we all can hear them, most just don’t listen.

Diagnosed with brain tumor and rested on the couch with the television behind me. Slept for some time and slowly opened my eyes and they shot closed. For those few seconds visions a clear white angel in front of television with a rope of clear books and smile of serenity. Did not open my eyes and went back to sleep. Either a dream or real. Felt a guidance to more understanding of the spirituality and theogy that needed to be in my life.

A few years ago as I was drifting off to sleep sometime around 12-1am I suddenly heard the most beautiful harmonic singing I had ever heard. There were no words at all – just harmonic chords. I looked out the window wondering why I heard music to see and hear nothing. It was something I’ll never forget and hope that I will be blessed to hear it again.

It was so interesting to find out that I am clairsentience. I know that I need to take more time to myself to stay grounded. I love reading articles on your website. Thank you for sharing so much wonderful information. I want to connect more to my angels and to be more aware of so much more that is out there to help us in this life. So very interesting. Thanks!

(11) Bernadette says:

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who hears this. At first, I would hear the music upon awakening. Once I realized what I was hearing was the moment the music stopped. At that point, if there were words I would catch perhaps a line or two. I’ll never forget when I heard them sing, “all she ever wanted was to bring baby Jesus in the world”, obviously referring to His mother Mary.

Since then, that has happened only a few times, but I have noticed that sometimes if I am just sitting and reading or relaxing, I’ll notice that most beautiful music again.

Lately, as I have made up my mind to learn how to read and write and play music, these experiences have become different, yet frequent. Now, if I just clear my head, and start singing praises, and ask the Creator to allow me to hear, I can actually hear Them singing in the background. It is faint, but clearly audible to me. I hope that soon it will be louder though.

I CAN REMEMBER THE NIGHT VERY CLEARY. I WAS HEAVY IN MY DRUG ADDICTION, AND I HAD NOT SLEPT FOR SOME TIME. AND I WAS DRIVING FROM L.A TO FRESNO.

I HAD GOTTEN TONGUE TIED AND COULD FEEL AND HEAR EVIL IN MY PRESENCE.AND THEN IT HAPPEND. AT FIRST I WAS STRAINING TO HEAR THIS SOOTHING FEMALE ANGELIC VOICE. I COULD HEAR IT IN MY LEFT EAR AND I WAS DRIVING RECKLESSLY, AND BEGAN TO TURN MY HEAD IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS SINGING. AND THEN SHE SPOKE TO ME SHE TOLD ME WACTH THE ROAD THATS HOW YOU WILL KNOW ANGELS FROM DEMONS.”MEANING DISTRACTING ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING.”

I hear angels singing mostly old hymns or occasionally a song from my childhood all the time. I have also seen and felt the fates of missing persons. I try not to do that too often because the pain lasts for weeks. I see these things in bright snapshot types of visions. I feel the presence of spirits that come and go from my home, but I tell evil spirits they are not welcome and ask Jesus to keep them away. I would like to know more about how to develop my gifts. I have a debilitating disease called Sjogrens Syndrome and I think the angels sing to comfort me, it works!

I have found this page because I too, for the first time, have heard an Angel(s) singing. Was just upon awakening during the night sometime. I thought it was coming from outside. It faded as I became more awake. But there is no doubt in my mind that that is what I heard. Some things you just know. Was more beautiful than anything I’ve ever heard. I feel blessed today.

At approx 12:00 am, I heard singing in my ear. The left side of my head was on a pillow and it was as if someone was singing into my left ear. Woke up suddenly and the singing stopped. I don’t remember the song, but I remember it being very angelic.

As a child of 7, I was quite ill and this was a very worrying time for my family. One time I remember quite clearly, sitting on the bed being comforted in the early hours of the morning, by my mother. I suddenly heard the most beautiful music, accompanied by the sweetest singing. I remember sitting straight up and listening to it. I asked my mother who it was singing as it sounded as if it was coming from the other side of the window in the garden. She looked very puzzled and told me there was no music or singing that she could hear. At that moment my father came into the room and I asked him the same question. He too looked very puzzled and told me to he too could not hear anything. A few days later I was suddenly well enough to return to school. I have never forgotten this incident and now realise it was the angels looking after me and being there with me during this very traumatic time. I am truly blessed.
