The left side is of special importance in the spiritual traditions.
One of the things I tend to associate it with is female/Yin energy.
Through this connection, we gain a deep insight into why ringing in the left ear may be associated with specific spiritual information.
The notion of duality in nature, frequently symbolized by Yin and yang from Taoist philosophy, is why the left side tends to be associated with feminine energy.
For millennia, the left side has been associated with Yin – the feminine principle of receptivity, intuition and introspection. So, when I hear my left ear ring — it is telling me to use those qualities.
The implied association of the left side to the subconscious means that my deeper consciousness might be using ringing in my left ear as a way to speak with me.
It could mean that there are some unresolved issues, buried fears or pent-up emotions I have to pay attention to.
Listening to this signal, I can explore myself and start healing.
From what I’ve seen in my practice, the ringing of the left ear means that you are at a fork in your life path and have to make some decisions about which road is really best for YOU and not just who will make others happy.
That ringing is a reminder to listen to my intuition and not need validation on the outside.
It is about spiritual awakening
The most significant and in-depth interpretation of the left ear ringing is related to spiritual awakening.
In many spiritual traditions, this experience is interpreted as a sign of the expansion of our spiritual consciousness and awakening to awareness beyond the human level.
One of the first general signs that most people feel is a transformation in their view of reality during a spiritual awakening.
They become more sensitive to the subtle energies of their surrounding and themselves.
Tinnitus in the left ear is perhaps one of the first signs that changes have begun, and my spiritual senses are sharper than before, but nothing substantial.
I have personally come across many people who described left ear ringing during critical points in their spiritual journey.
The bell-like tones would usually happen during meditation, receiving enlightening information or in connection with spiritual guides.
It seems to resonate on a higher plane as if the universe was making it easier for these new receptors to see further into invisible dimensions.
Perhaps a ringing left ear is the opening of the third eye or pineal gland, hence spiritual insight.
This activation can increase intuition and clairvoyance, as well as a closer connection to my higher self.
The ringing reminds me to continue with an open heart and that this is all part of a spiritual journey.
It is about spirit guides
Another interesting dimension to left ear ringing is that it might be an SOS call from your spirit guides or angel messages.
I suspect that ear ringing is one of the many signs and symbols that benevolent beings use in order to communicate with us.
Spirit guides and angels speak in much more subtle ways that need tuning into. In fact, left ear ringing might mean that my guides are trying to tell me something important and need me to listen.
It rings in unison with my prayers, meditations or at times when I find myself seeking answers to burning questions into my minuscule existence.
Through my work, I have found that people with left ear ringing describe a sensation of presence and the feeling they are being watched correctly.
It is also followed by a feeling of calm and knowing, which implies that the message has originated in love.
If I am mindful of these signs, then I can cultivate a stronger bond with my spiritual guides and more easily follow the direction that is given to me in order to keep me on the path.
To comprehend what is meant, my mind needs to take a rest in order to listen.
Meditation and mindfulness practices help me to connect with these subtle messages, clarifying the guidance.
It is about a connection to Earth’s energies
A lesser-known spiritual meaning of ringing in your left ear has to do with the five elements and specifically Earth energies.
The Earth is a living organism with its vibrations and frequencies inherent to our connection as humans. We are part of these natural rhythms.
A buzz in the left ear means an alignment or a kind of tuning into these energies.
Earth energies are the invisible and normally intangible forces that enter or stem from Earth.
This can be another reason you feel so at peace on top of a high mountain or why some people purposefully surround themselves with specific crystals – to attract certain frequencies.
If my left ear is ringing, it may mean that I am becoming more attuned to such energies in general,
It is about the Kundalini
One of the spiritual meanings of left ear ringing is that it may be an indication that your Kundalini energy has been awakened.
Kundalini is described in spiritual traditions as a dormant spiritual energy that sits coiled at the base of your spine.
Once it is awakened, this energy rises through the chakras, causing great spiritual awareness and change.
If my left ear is ringing, that means this energy has awakened, and is moving through part of the body.
The Kundalini energy is shown as a serpent sleeping at the root of the spine.
When active, Kundalini travels upwards through the central energy channel (Sushumna), and penetrates each chakra all the way to crown position.
This can lead to an increased spiritual life, psychic awareness and divine communion.
I use practices to help Kundalini energy awaken and flow – to ensure that it can move around the body without obstruction.
Practicing yoga – Kundalini is preferred, pranayama (breath control), and meditation supports this process effectively.
To manage the increased energy flow, I must have to make sure I keep a good balance in life and eat healthy enough vegetables and fruit so that the body can handle so much energy.
There is a superstition that the left ear ringing means someone is talking about you.
What we so easily and sometimes disdainfully dismiss as an old wives tale actually speaks to deeper levels of our social dynamics.
In my opinion, this ringing is not gossip alone – but rather an intricate wake-up call to examine the kind of relations we have maintained and continue to establish within our communication.
The left ear buzz gossip association is just a small aspect of the human intrigue about acknowledgment, validation and others’ opinions on our lives.
The most sensitive of us to this feeling tends to usually feel a lot about how other people perceive them.
When not satisfied, this approval need sometimes comes out as the people-pleaser — just doing everything they can to be liked and get along smoothly with each person.
I have witnessed and personally experienced how this trait can feed into an oversharing of our personal lives just to create a bond, but in turn, it makes you feel exposed or betrayed.
It is about chakra imbalances
The word chakras refers to energy centers in the body that affect physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
If you have peculiar physical symptoms like ringing in your ears, it may be due to an imbalance of your chakras.
Your ability to receive information about the non-physical world comes through your ear chakras, which are located just above each ear.
I was previously hearing ringing or buzzing sounds in this ear as a result of my left chakra being overstimulated or blocked.
It could be that this imbalance means there is some energy I am taking in and working with that needs to catch my attention.
The third eye chakra (Ajna) and the throat chakra (Vishuddha) play important roles in auditory experiences.
The third eye chakra, positioned at the center of your forehead, is linked to intuition and higher insight, whereas the throat is with communication / self-expression.
If either of these chakras becomes imbalanced it can manifest symptoms such as ringing in the left ear.
I do yoga to help correct these imbalances and chakra healing techniques.
Meditation, Reiki and sound healing can be useful to cure left ear ringing as they help restore balance in your chakras.
