I always refer to hearing my companion's speak as a high pitched screeching sound like crickets or tinnitus and i noticed several things that all just hit me at once.
1)I had been under the impression that the high pitched sounds i hear were my inability to translate energy into the proper sounds to understand them.
2) if i meditate to nature sounds--specifically heavy rain and thunderstorm sounds--it helps me translate those energies better and i can actually hear words sometimes
3)i become exceptionally thirsty after trying to communicate directly with my companions for a length of time.
After the interaction i just had,i think i had misunderstood myself. It was never my inability to translate their energies into words that was the issue..i can hear the noise when they talk. its my inability to stabilize my OWN energy levels that makes me hear that high pitched noise. My own energy being sporatic and jumping around like a ghost box--always flipping channels and freqencies--is causing the interference. In some of the reference material S&S provides they compare it to a radio playing and trying to tune into the right frequency. In my case,i feel i am the radio but energetically i stay on shuffle.
What leads me to believe this is the case is that when i meditate with storm sounds or other nature sounds,i am able to kind of balance myself out more. Walking in nature also yeilds similar results leaving me much more open to communication after.
Its no secret that the throat chakra is largely responsible for communication,physically and metaphysically, and isnt surprising i always become exceptionally thirsty when my intent was communication. I started focusing directly on my throat chakra instead of my third eye and crown after having all these ideas shoot through my head. I heard one of my companions say "yes" like in one of the ways you would say it when someone finally gets it
I'm not sure if this will be useful to anyone else,but for anyone that works with energy or conpanions,it leaves me asking myself this question,so I'll ask it of whoever reads this: Do you really know what you thought you knew?
