"Ah, okay," was the only thing he said.
It was this kind of "Ah, okay" that you could translate as "maybe I don't want to hear what you just said, because now I somehow know that you're crazy." His "ah, okay" made me feel so inferior and like an outcast. I didn't see his "ah, okay" coming. I thought that maybe everyone is experiencing what I was experiencing as long as I could remember. I hear voices, even when nobody is there. So my question to him, "Do you also hear voices, and if yes, what are they telling you?" was just an idea for an interesting conversation with my boyfriend at that time. Honestly, the voices in my head would have given me a better answer than him. Do I need to say that we broke up shortly after?
This conversation shaped me in a way. It took me years to talk with someone again about the voices in my head.

"This societal norm that hearing voices is not normal gave me a stigma, and it has hindered me a lot."

Today, I hear the voices every day and every hour. I could not, and would not want to live without them. They are one of the best things in my life. They belong to me and have helped me in the darkest hours of my life. I found my purpose with them, and of course, they have encouraged me to write this article for you. Because I wished I would have read my own blog post 20 years ago. It would have helped me to understand that hearing voices is normal. The earlier we talk about the voices in our heads, the better. And if you're one of those people who hear voices from time to time, you need to read on, because there are many scientists out there who embrace the idea that hearing voices is a phenomenon that's worth understanding more. And that we need to end this stigma as soon as possible.

This journey from understanding that hearing voices does not mean that I'm crazy until today- that I'm working and existing closely with these voices was one of the most rewarding journey's in my life ever. I understood and learned that these voices were not like switching on the Radio and just listen. I communicate with these voices and they are the voices of my spirits that support me in every aspect of my life. It is like an invisible family. I realized through this process how powerful I actually am. And that it is so worth it to walk a path that not everybody understands. It is this special moment when you realize that it is absolutely okay if not everybody agrees. Today I help people to connect with their spirits and in so many clients I see myself. It is a special time when we go one step, but it feels kinda scary. And then we go the next step and it is getting better and better. This is the reason why I decided to help women to learn to connect with these voices. This is what humanity is about, right? Doing things together that we are unexperienced with. Helping each other and hearing other's stories.

 The Power of Community: Breaking Down the Stigma Together

 Scientists have confirmed that healthy hearing can benefit the life and have a positive impact. So why not taking part in the membership that I offer? Most of my clients experience the first real conversation with their spirits as one of the most life changing experiences in their lives🌪️Because they have something to say. The messages from the voices are almost every time very important messages. Together in my community, we can work on making this topic less stigmatized. Because when you figure out what the message from the voices are, you will be able to help others. Maybe your best friend is also hearing voices, but she feels too shy to talk with you about it!?! 

Well, I love spirituality. That is my life. But I also love when spirituality gets approved by science. It just feels good to know that there is something happening within the scientific field. In our facts-oriented society, it is just easier to reference a scientific paper, right?

Well, together with the voices—the spirits, I found my place in life. My purpose. My abilities and a new perspective in life. Everything has changed for me. For the better. Everything.

Embracing Your Inner Voices: Practical Strategies for Connection and Growth

 How do you communicate with the voices and interpret their messages? Here are some practical strategies to help you embrace your inner voices and integrate this unique experience into your daily life.

1. Open Communication:
   The first step to embracing your inner voices is to establish open communication. This means actively listening to the voices and engaging in a dialogue with them. Ask them questions, seek their guidance, and express your thoughts and feelings. Remember, communication is a two-way street. It's not just about hearing the voices; it's also about responding to them and fostering a meaningful conversation. 
2. Interpretation and Understanding:
   Interpreting the messages from the voices can be a complex process. It requires patience, intuition, and a deep understanding of your own emotions and experiences. Try to approach the voices with an open mind and a willingness to explore the unknown. Seek to understand the underlying themes and messages in their words. Remember, the voices are a part of you, and they can offer valuable insights into your inner world.
3. Integration into Daily Life:
   Integrating the experience of hearing voices into your daily life can be a transformative process. It's about acknowledging the voices as a part of your identity and allowing them to influence your thoughts, decisions, and actions. This doesn't mean letting the voices control your life; rather, it's about harmonizing your conscious mind with the voices and creating a balanced, holistic sense of self.
4. Building Resilience:
   Hearing voices can be challenging, especially in a society that often stigmatizes this experience. Building resilience is crucial for navigating these challenges. This means developing coping strategies, seeking support from others, and cultivating a positive mindset. Remember, resilience is not about avoiding difficulties; it's about facing them head-on and emerging stronger.

 So here we are now. We have scientific evidence that hearing voices should be destigmatized. But I’m pretty sure that the idea of greeting your friends the next time you meet with "Hey, how are you and the voices in your head?" still feels a bit unsafe, right? Right! Ending the stigma requires a lot of commitment from people. It requires bravery and boldness.

But listen to me now. Let me tell you what really happens when you connect with the voices in your head. IT IS LIFE-CHANGING, REWARDING, and one of the most BEAUTIFUL things you can do. It's so worth it. And everyone who can't hear voices will be envious of your abilities.

So, let's lean into our abilities, embrace what comes with them, and create the life of our dreams. Because from my experience, voices in the head always have a purpose. They guide you on your path towards a fulfilling life. Imagine your biggest dream of what your life could look like?

Exactly, this is what they can help you with.
