Introduction – What Is A Spiritual Awakening?
A spiritual awakening is a process that seems to occur differently for everyone. This awakening may happen out of the blue, causing a total paradigm shift within your life. Or, a spiritual awakening may seem to have always been waiting on the horizon, calling out to you until you’ve finally heard its message. In the beginning stages, you may not realize what is happening in your life. You’ll experience many changes during a spiritual awakening, some internal and some external.
Not everyone will experience an awakening within their lifetimes. Some awakenings are pre-determined and part of a person’s life path, but most awakenings occur when someone desires to connect beyond the confines of this reality. We exist far beyond what our minds can comprehend. To say we are spiritual beings experiencing life is an understatement. Every person contains consciousness, which is the awareness of the soul. Our souls and consciousness are an individual piece of the greater source of all creation. When you undergo a spiritual awakening, you are awakening to the soul connection within you, which is all-knowing, powerful, and infinite.
Everyone’s spiritual awakening will come to them in divine timing. While there are ways to kick-start the process, it won’t be beneficial until a person is truly ready to awaken to divine truth. Once the process begins, you will no longer view the world, universe, or life itself the same. Your perspective will shift and you would be unable to shift back to your old perspective even if you wanted. This is because, through the awakening, you gain wisdom and understanding that you did not have prior. While this may seem overwhelming, in the end, this process provides you with the utmost peace, compassion, understanding, neutrality, and love.
Seven Signs You’re Going Through A Spiritual Awakening
If you find yourself wondering if you’re going through a spiritual awakening, here are seven signs you’re going through this process and how to embrace it.
You Don’t Fit In
The first stage of a spiritual awakening is beginning to feel disconnected from the rest of society. As your spiritual energy begins to expand within you, you’re no longer an energetic match to strictly the physical world. You may stop enjoying certain hobbies, lose interest in some of your relationships, or desire an extreme change within your life. Societal structures may suddenly seem flawed and not based on anything concrete. The world itself will start to lose its seriousness, and you’ll begin to question the validity of everyone and everything. No matter how hard you may try to shut these thoughts out of your mind, you’ll continue to feel as if you’re now living in a world that isn’t the way that it seems, and you no longer fit into the same role you always have.
Seeing Past The Illusions
The world as we know it is shown to us through the eyes of human beings. The truth is, our human selves are just one aspect of the totality of our being. Our human perspectives are narrow, constricted, and unaware of the hidden layers of reality. In the beginning stages of your spiritual awakening, the illusions of reality will begin to make themselves known to you. On the extreme spectrum, some people have a near-death experience which causes them to view life much differently than before. More commonly, you may begin to understand the world differently. The news and social media will begin to look much different from before, and you’ll notice the true intentions behind why certain information is distributed freely. The foods that you eat will no longer seem appetizing or nutritious, and your diet will likely change as you transition towards eating higher-frequency foods.
A New Sense of Awareness
Your senses will become much more open during a spiritual awakening than ever before. Your awareness will expand, and you’ll begin to understand yourself deeply. You’ll recognize the patterns that have played out throughout your life and understand the root cause of them. During this period, you may undergo emotional purging as you learn to release the lower frequency energies that have been weighing you down your entire life. Your newfound awareness allows you to clearly see what’s necessary for your growth. The awareness will also give you a deeper sight into your external life, and you’ll become hyper-aware of the people in your life and all of the choices that have led you to this point in time.
Detachment
One of the most empowering stages of a spiritual awakening is learning to detach from your reality. The rose-colored glasses you previously wore have completely shattered, and you’re ready to wipe away the stains of your past. You’ll naturally be drawn to let go of many things within your life because of your change of perspective and expanded awareness. As your perspective changes, you’ll also understand what’s truly important in life and what isn’t. Material possessions, social status, and superficial aspects of your life will become unimportant, and you’ll learn to let these aspects of yourself go.
Synchronicities
Synchronicities are experiences that align perfectly, that some would call a coincidence. These experiences are just instances where you are aware of the universal laws that dictate reality. There are many laws of the universe that operate continuously, and as you progress throughout your spiritual awakening, you will gain awareness of them. You’ll see the connection between your thoughts and emotions and the external experiences that correlate to them. During this time, you’ll also begin to recognize the power that you have within you and the ability to transform your reality.
Recognizing Your Empowerment
The truth is, we’ve always had the ability to intentionally create within our lives, but because we were disconnected from our spiritual nature, we did not have the awareness or ability. Inside each of us, we have the ability to transform our lives through our thoughts, emotions, intentions, and imaginations. During a spiritual awakening, you will realize you have these tools to create change within your life and begin to use them to your advantage. You’ll see your thoughts and emotions manifest within your life at this stage. The law of attraction will work in your favor, and your intentions will draw your desires to you. You’ll also experience your abilities to imagine changes within your life and experience them happen just as you had envisioned within your mind.
Wholeness
Wholeness is a stage within a spiritual awakening where you begin to completely re-emerge with your core self or your soul. This process usually happens after the previous stages take place. Not only will you feel a sense of wholeness within yourself, but your external world will be much more balanced, complete, and fulfilling than ever before. During the first stages of the spiritual awakening, you begin to feel as if something isn’t right within reality, and this is because, at that point in time, you weren’t consciously creating it. After you’ve progressed throughout this process, you’ll gain an understanding of what you truly desire out of life, understand the power that you hold that will allow you to obtain these desires, and these components will empower you from the inside out and give you a sense of fulfillment.
How To Embrace Your Spiritual Awakening
You may not realize you’re going through a spiritual awakening at first and may even transition through many stages before you’re aware of this. It’s important to understand these stages and their purpose in order to maintain a sense of stability and remain grounded. As you awaken, you’ll see the world through a whole new lens, and your senses will experience more life than ever before. At times, you may struggle as you learn to let go of old thought patterns, beliefs, relationships, habits, desires, and negative intentions. You may have many ups and downs, but the rewards you receive will be well worth it as you continue through this transition.
- Spending time in nature can help ease this transition.
- Talk about your experience with a loved one.
- Join an online group of others who are going through the same journey.
- Meditate and learn to quiet your mind; this will help you clear out old thought patterns and anxieties.
- Eat healthy foods and stay active. Maintaining your physical health will help ease the changes within your mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
- Express gratitude for the new experiences and perspectives that you receive. Doing so will provide you with a sense of appreciation within you that will also be reflected throughout your world.
- Share your newfound knowledge with others and encourage them to awaken to their own spirituality.
Waking up isn’t just following a spiritual path; it’s waking up to the truth of your existence and the powerful gift that life is.
