So, I've been trying to work on my astral sense for some time, even before finding JoS. Currently what I do is try to focus and give extra attention to the 3rd eye/temple chakras, plus now also the smaller chakras listed on the "clairaudience points" page.
And for a while now, if I sit and focus... I can kind of "hear" some sounds that have the cadence of speech, but I can't make out any words. It's almost like the murmur of a crowd of people talking, except I can't pick anything out. Every once in a while a word or short phrase will pop into my head, and when it does it's in the same "space" as my own internal voice, but it doesn't sound like my internal voice. Sometimes the snippets I catch are positive, like "proud of you", "you'll be fine". And other times they are definitely not positive, "disapointed", "you'll die" etc, etc.
For now, I just ignore it all since it's not really useful, but I guess my question is: does this represent progress? Or is it just imagination/stress/etc? And how do you tell the two apart? Is this something that just becomes obvious with more practice?
Thanks!
