Hello everyone. I'm wondering if someone can help me out. I've been experiencing ringing in the ears. I've always had a faint ring in my ears, but since I've started doing meditation with the higher balance meditation, it's stronger and stronger. Now one of the modules of Higher balance explains how there is a frequency and that is what I'm hearing. Well, interestingly enough, over the past week, this ringing is ever so present. The past 4 nights I've gone to sleep and I can induce vibrations at will by first letting each limb go numb, then they start to tingle and then I let this ring come present to the forefront then my whole body starts vibrating uncontrollably. However I'm so excited that I've learned to do this at will, I have not yet gone in to the paralysis state. It is my fear preventing this and what I've noticed is that lately, whenever I close my eyes, all that I see are negative entities. Enough to fill 8 books of tattoo flash that my tattoo artist buddy would love. If he could just be inside my head. So I'm thinking that these negs that I see (now I'm not OBE mind you) when this happens. I just shut my eyes and I see EVIL. Hundreds of faces and whatnot. Spinning, coming at me and whatever. I am not afraid of them, but I am thinking subconsciously my organic brain is causing this to try and prevent me from having an OBE. Does this sound right? What can I do to overcome this fear of mine. I've been going SRM lately (Stark Raving Mad) between the entities and the ringing in the ear. Well the ringing isn't that bad and I find it simply amazing that I can induce the vibrations at will. I've done this about 50 times over the past 4 days or so. Nuts I say, nuts. :lol:
I get out of bed and I'm scared to take a leak. I can't go downstairs to get a drink without all the lights on :lol: This is ridiculous. Any suggestions?
Peace,
Kevin
you know i had the same thought because similar things have happened to me. when i breathe and get relaxed enough sometimes i see scary faces and once i even saw like a scary figure with its arms crossed at me as to say no, ure not coming out. its like they dont want me to OBE, or is it me who doesnt want me to OBE? i know i am afraid a bit, although very enthusiastic. maybe they are just a reflection of you? if you create them, it shouldnt be hard to accept them as a manifestatin of you and then stop being afraid.
oh and constant ringing in the ear is an illness called tinnitus.
I've been more spiritual this month and I heard a lot more buzzing than normal. I don't hear ringing much.
Did you ever hear of binaural beats? Maybe you are producing them on your own.
Hi Knucklebrain,
There're many things that could be goin on. Though, with the ringing and vibrations (especially since you can induce them) I'd say you're slowly awakening or being awakened to all things astral.
The negative entities, in my experience and through the guidance I've received, are really just embodiments of your fear and trepidation. They can in no way harm you. Though it sounds like you realize that.
The only real way to tear down this fear barrier is to keep at it and persist. The more you go "there" the less they occur. When I first started with Astral travel and out of body experiences, frightening and "evil" imagery was there alot. But these days, they are very few and far between.
The fact that you can bring about these vibrations at will is leaps and bounds of progress. Stick with it... endure...
And remember, when you go astral, all the things you bring with you tend to have a way of manifesting... especially fear.
Stay calm and breathe. And rush nothing...
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Stone
Hi knucklebrain
I've had similar experiences to what you describe, when i was going through a hard period in my life I used to see things I didn't want to see each night.
From what I've read about these entities, they feed off low forms of energy such as negativity, fear ,hate. The way I got myself rid of them was visualizing white light filling my room up and pushing them out, I'd also tell them to Leave, that seemed to do the trick most of the time.
Thanks for the replies guys. As for the hate, nonexistent. Fear, yes. White light ha? My wife said the same thing. She reads Sylvia Brown books.
Kevin
Knucklebrain I think that the ringing in the ears must be a natural thing. When I started meditating I also started daily listening to the Monroe Wave tapes; shortly after I started hearing ringing in my ears. After 2 years I went off these tapes & the ringing disappeared. Now that I'm using BWGenerator
the ringing has returned.
I don't necessarily think that ringing and buzzing are bad things? Does anyone disagree?
For me the buzzing or ringing does not last long. Only 10 mintutes aferwards, at most.
hley crap you guys, if you want to know more about this ask MrBurgo, its his job now...
If anyone feels like making the ringing go away in this kind of case, just count to 100 in your head. Say the words to yourself very clearly. For that matter, say anything you want. The point is that if you talk to yourself in words you will drop right back down and stop hearing the ringing.
Well it's loud as hell and last night I started thinking about it consciously and started getting all panicky over it :lol:
But the point is this. It's there because of the stuff I've been doing, I'm convinced that the tonal or vibration of the Earth is ringing in my ears and as I stated, it allows me to enter the vibrational state with ease. I simply lie down if I'm not exhausted, let my limbs go numb and bring the ringing to the forefront and presto, whole body vibrations. However I still have some fear barriers to get over before I can progress it into the paralysis state.
*&()$&# FEAR DAMMIT.
Kevin
i used to hear ringings a LOT that nobody seem to hear besides me i used to ignore .
like a high pitch sound.lately i haven't had many only a few, sometimes.
like 1,2 months ago i was doing an exam and for straight hours the ringing wouldn't stop it gave me such a frikin headache
i failed the exam bummer :roll:
Hi Kevin!
Your signature is so right. Since you will always exist no matter what happens, there is nothing to fear. Those faces you see can't do anything to harm you. Remind yourself that you will always exist, no matter what, and I'm sure these scary things will go away. These faces are most likely your own fears anyway, so you are just scaring yourself! Stop that! Don't you have anything better to do?! :-)
If like attracts like, then you need to be positive before you go AP. If you do see anything scary, tell yourself that you are just scaring yourself and laugh at the scary thing you just created. You can do that when you are taking a leak at night too.

I feel like I'm going mad :lol: the ringing is ever so loud today and I can actually feel that vibration type hum, like (whoom, whoom, whoom) sound when your about to go into paralysis state. I don't know if I should be worrying about this. Should this be happening? Perhaps I'm meditating a bit too much. About 3 hours of NEW per day and close to 2 hours of meditation today before the day is through. What do you cats think? Should I be concerned about this. I tend to easily freak myself out. If I'm like shifting to a higher consciousness, I can deal with it, but I don't know if the ringing and the pulsing sound is a sign of that. Kind of had the thought today of giving this all up, but there's the fear again. I guess my fear besides death is going mad completely and being separated from loved ones.
Kevin
funny i never meditated in my life and i hear that ringing a lot :O

I've dealt with this before Kev. There was a time when I thought the ringing would drive me mad. I hear it all the time, and it's been that way for a long time now. I think it's a combination of both your energy raising and the fact that you're becoming more aware. If it becomes too overwhelming, I suppose you should stop your energy work for a bit. But if you hold steady, I tend to think that you'll just get used to it like I did. Keep thinking of it as a positive thing and that may help.
Thanks chief, that's reassuring. If it's part of my development and nothing more, I can deal with it. I'm just sort of waiting for a "WHAM" and the next thing you know, I wake up in a mental ward :lol:
But that's my over imaginative mind :roll:
Kevin
Knucklebrain, I was wondering where you find the time for 3 hrs.of NEW and
2 hours of meditation, I'm envious. Over time, as was mentioned; I have learned to ignor it. and I think that you are getting off lightly. Along with the ringing I have inherited a circle of blue light that flashes on & off at any time of the day or night. Its down right annoying. Also, I wouldn't worry about waking up in a mental ward, you won't know that you're there.
Well I have one of those jobs where I sit and do absolutely nothing for 9 hours a day. That's how.
Kevin
Hmm. I heard that if your relaxed and comfortable and you focus in and listen to the ringing it will trigger an obe. Is this true?
Hi, the ringing isn't as bad as it was last week. But you are right. If I can get my legs and arms to go numb and let the ringing ring true or bring it forth, it will trigger vibrations. I have not progressed it to the paralysis state yet. I wish I had some more vicodins, caus they cause me to have instant vib's and paralysis almost guaranteed. Of course the 100x or so it happened I never knew what it was. I never have let it progress to an obe though. I usually freak myself out. Yeah, I got some issues. However I would like to master this without drugs as I don't have a lifetime supply of vicodins, and the drug I notice causes me to see a lot of negs when I shut my eyes. Stuff you'd see in a horror film :lol:
Kevin
i have the ringing in my ears too. it happens when im in a quite room.
ohh yea did not finish. To tell u what works for me is just ignore it. its hard at first but if u get your mind off it. I also hear breathing. its right next to my head. i still have to work on that. I have no idea what it is .
In health class, if I remember correctly they said the ringing is caused by hair in your hairs. The teacher said something like after listening to something for a like time, the hair in your hair will continue to vibrate, which in turn will cause the ringing effects.
I wish I could have "expierences" as easy as you guys. I seem to have been in a slump the past week.
its not worth it trust me. Its extreamly anoying when trying to have a ap. It does not happen to me much no more. but i hear some one breathing right next to me, i hate it. its kinda creapy. like someone is trying to stop me.
iv had the same situation but mine is when i yawn i can hea r it and when i focus/concentrate on something,
but when i shout at someone my voice is reallly really loud like thunder and the noise is in my chest
I just thought to share this article that i read recently. I find it is really interesting that ancient texts have talked about it too, and i've always been curious what the sound was (i've been hearing it for awhile). So go ahead, read it and see what you think.
Love & Peace

A-U-M Silence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ancient teachings and modern science agree: you, I, all living things, all things in existence are made up at their most essential level of vibrating, pulsing energy.
For millennia, mystics have recounted their experience of this energy, which is said to manifest in our hearing awareness as a humming vibration around and within everything else.
In the Sanskrit tradition, this sound is called "Anahata Nada," the "Unstruck Sound." Literally, this means "the sound that is not made by two things striking together." The point of this particular distinction is that all ordinary audible sounds are made by at least two elements: bow and string; drum and stick; two vocal cords; two lips against the mouthpiece of the trumpet; the double reed of the oboe; waves against the shore; wind against the leaves. All sounds within our range of hearing are created by things visible or invisible, striking each other or vibrating together, creating pulsing waves of air molecules which our ears and brain interpret as sound.
So, sound that is not made of two things striking together is the sound of primal energy, the sound of the universe itself. Joseph Campbell likens this unstruck vibration to the humming of an electrical transformer, or the (to our ears) unheard hummings of atoms and molecules.
And the ancients say that the audible sound which most resembles this unstruck sound is the syllable OM. Tradition has it that this ancient mantra is composed of four elements: the first three are vocal sounds: A, U, and M. The fourth sound, unheard, is the silence which begins and ends the audible sound, the silence which surrounds it.
There are several traditional and allegorical interpretations of this ancient sound.
The ancient tradition of AUM
The lovliest explanation of OM is found within the ancient Vedic and Sanskrit traditions. We can read about AUM in the marvelous Manduka Upanishad, which explains the four elements of AUM as an allegory of the four planes of consciousness.
"A" (pronounced "AH" as in "father") resonates in the center of the mouth. It represents normal waking consciousness, in which subject and object exist as separate entities. This is the level of mechanics, science, logical reason, the lower three chakras. Matter exists on a gross level, is stable and slow to change.
Then the sound "U" (pronounced as in "who") transfers the sense of vibration to the back of the mouth, and shifts the allegory to the level of dream consciousness. Here, object and subject become intertwined in awareness. Both are contained within us. Matter becomes subtle, more fluid, rapidly changing. This is the realm of dreams, divinities, imagination, the inner world.
"M" is the third element, humming with lips gently closed. This sound resonates forward in the mouth and buzzes throughout the head. (Try it.) This sound represents the realm of deep, dreamless sleep. There is neither observing subject nor observed object. All are one, and nothing. Only pure consciousness exists, unseen, pristine, latent, covered with darkness. This is the cosmic night, the interval between cycles of creation, the womb of the divine Mother.
The Yoga of AUM
It might be said that the ultimate aim of Yoga is to enter this third dreamless realm while awake. Yoga means "yoke" or "join." Through yoga we "join" our waking consciousness to its "source" in the world of pure, qualitiless unconsciousness.
Which brings us to the fourth sound of AUM, the primal "unstruck" sound within the silence at the end of the sacred syllable. In fact, the word "silence" itself can be understood only in reference to "sound." We hear this silence best when listening to sound, any sound at all, without interpreting or judging the sound. Listening fully, openly, without preconceptions or expectations. The sound of music, the sound of the city, the sound of the wind in the forest. All can give us the opportunity to follow the path of sound into the awareness of the sound behind the sound.
When one really "listens" to this silent sound, this unstruck vibration, one comes inevitably to stillness, to pure and open existence. The poet Gerhart Hauptmann says the aim of all poetry is "to let the Word be heard resounding behind words." The sound behind the sound. And, in making the sound of AUM, we hear this unstruck sound most clearly in the instant when the last humming vibrations of the "M" fade away. At that moment, that instant separating audible sound and silence, the veil is thinnest, and our listening awareness is most expansive.
At that moment of silence, to use William Blake's words, the "doors of perception" are cleansed, and "everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."
Another way to make the AUM sound
A favorite exercise with the sacred AUM sound involves a more modern interpretation of its elements. In short: "A" is the sound of infinite expanding energy in the universe, the energy of unity consciousness and Divine Love; "U" is the sound of that very energy manifesting and materializing in our waking reality; with the sound of "M" we absorb and integrate that energy into our own being. In the silence after the sound we give thanks and allow the process to resonate within us.
Try this: stand comfortably, feet shoulder width apart, hands and arms hanging easily at your sides. Prepare to make the "AUM" sound, all three vowels in one seamless breath. Inhale gently, easily, expanding into your belly as you breathe. Open your mouth fully as you inhale, as if to "inhale" the "A" sound itself, creating the intention of the sound before the sound actually begins.
Then, as you begin to make the "A" sound, raise your arms out to the side, as if opening to embrace all the universe. Than as your voice transitions seamlessly to the "U" sound, extend your arms to the front, as if to hold something precious and powerful in your hands. You might wish to visualize some shape, round and energetic, manifesting between the palms of your hands. Then, gliding from "U" to the "M" sound, bring your hands, and whatever they may contain, to your heart center. Finally, in the echo of the silence, bring your palms to your chest, pressing them lovingly to your heart. Breathe gently.
Repeat this exercise several times. It is remarkably centering and relaxing.
Find your own way
The most important aspect of this second form of AUM is the combination of sound and movement. It really doesn't matter what "images" you create in your mind as you do this exercise, or what specific significance you choose to attribute to each of the individual vowel sounds. The mere fact that you are intoning this ancient sound, and combining it with gentle intuitive movements of the upper body, will have a naturally gentle and balancing effect on your body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
In that state, we can best hear the the Anahata Nada, the unstruck sound behind the sound, the very Sound of the Self.
OK there are 3 options that I can see:
- Medical problem called Tinnatus, your doctor should be able to tell you whether there is something wrong or not. Except you live in the US so the latter is unlikely and his advice will cost, ahh if only you were British!
- You are hearing higher spiritual stuff - this is fairly common I know with people who injest ORMUS materials, but in your case maybe not, since you find the sound annoying. I suspect if you were hearing higher spiritual harmonies it would be like music resonating to your soul.
- It is an effect caused by local energy fields. I have read about this - have you been travelling a significant distance from where you live since the ringing started, and if so did it stop? Do you know anyone else in your local area with it? And a bit of a random one (humour me :wink: ) - are people in your local area experiencing lots of joint problems (errr the medical kind that is, not rolling skilz inadequacies :lol:) eg lots of people with, say, hip or knee replacements? The author who talked about this in one of my books lived near the canadian border, cant remember where exactly, but wherever it was they grew a shed load of apples!!

Well, it's rather peculiar that this started right around the time I started with a meditation called higher balance. In this particular meditation, the author describes on one of the cd's about a ringing in the ear that you can sort of tune into. If I'm relaxed enough which only happened recently when I had bronchitis and was on some hard core cough syrup, I got my whole body vibrating by kind of reeling in this ringing. It's only annoying when I fully concentrate on it when I'm not in a meditative type of mood you know? Like if I'm trying to work and I start concentrating on it, I'd go mad. So it's bearable. I don't go to the guesser (Doctor) unless I have a limb hanging off. In the USA, doctors are absolutely useless and are good for nothing other than pushing pills.
Kevin
LOL! Oh well thats interesting anyway. Of course it could me a little more complex, ie a combination of factors.
btw I get the same as you with the freaking out. If I experience a sensation or some sort of state of being, I can usually reproduce it later at will. This included the OBE trigger reflex for a while, I could put myself in a trance then hit the "button" and bam! vibrations all over etc. But something deep in my mind freaks out, heartbeat through the roof, uch.....V annoying!!
Rob
Earth ain't easy man. :lol:
certain negative alien/angles-like things (ones that feed off your energy) vibrate low enough for us to hear a ringing sound. if you have a lot of power more then one might commence psi-attacks on you.
Uh ha.....
Um.... How do I get rid of them?
Kevin
Their numerous and hard to harm, a ton of new age guys have these on them. if you energy has a certain thing to it they will like to feed off you a gold shield/a clean strong aura can keep most of em' out. also a lot of spirit guides would be glad to chase away/destroy them if you ask them to.
These things are basically fake guardian angles, they might protect people so they have a nice food source and are usually thought to be good because of that. If it is one of these it will be holding you back so your aura doesn't get too strong so It's good consult your guide on this to see if that's what it is. I know quite a bit about these because my guide loathes them and warns me when one is near.

they like to cause fear and depression, makes the aura much more variable.
