What is a Spiritual Awakening?

Hey love,

You may be wondering, if you are going through a spiritual awakening, what one even is, and what the signs are. Let’s get into it. A spiritual awakening is the realization that life is not what it seems, the unconscious becomes conscious, as though you are awakening from a deep sleep.

The day to day external focus on the world and material things, as well as societal conditioning, change completely. You begin to experience a deeper connection to others, yourself, Mother Earth, and the divine.

A spiritual awakening, changes your perception of reality. The expression, “the veil has been lifted” is often used. Reality becomes "less real" and you realize, through your connection to all, that you are a part of everything, literally (think the butterfly effect). You may question your sanity, as the mystical experiences roll in.

Changes to Expect

Once your awakening begins, your intuition will increase. You will begin to trust yourself and follow the nudges to discover incredible serendipities in your life. The world becomes magical and awe-inspiring.

You will find yourself naturally being more mindful and aware of the present moment. Many people effortlessly change their ways of living, eating, and communicating after the initial stages of awakening.

This process also results in a deep connection with something greater than ourselves. This consciousness does not have a name and humans have beliefs tied to the terms they use, so use whatever feels right for you: God, Source, Higher Self, the Universe, or any thing else that resonates with you.

Through connecting to this, you will experience a deep sense of love and compassion. This love will overflow from you to those around you and begin to change your reality. Another name for the law of attraction is the law of love. Love will alter and draw in everything you dream of.

Fear May Arise

During this time your shadow work will appear in your life. Things you have suppressed or been unconscious about will come to the surface for you to begin to work through. This may feel like a breaking down of your old world. This may seem chaotic or frightening. If you are having a dark night of the soul, life will shine once it has passed and it will pass.

As your intuitive gifts begin to awaken and strengthen you may encounter entities that frighten you. Many may be curious and mischievous, but they have no power as long as you stand in your own. At times when you may feel uncertain, call on Archangel Michael or whoever you’d like to protect you. Command your power and set your intention of who you will allow to interact with you.

You may set the intention to only work with beings of light and love or beings for your highest good. If a lost soul does come to you, initially this may scare you, but they are more afraid of you. They have lost their way, missed the portal of light, and are looking for assistance to get home. You may send them to the light out of compassion.

Awakening is a Process

Awakening is a journey, with moments of enlightenment. Your spiritual awakening, is consciously realizing you are on a spiritual life journey. You break free from the sleeping state of life and move towards becoming a more purposeful creator.

Everyone is on a spiritual journey, some are consciously aware and others are not, that is ok. One is not better or higher than the other, as you evolve on the journey you realize judgment is only a reflection of yourself. The higher you go, the less you will hold onto it.

The most challenging people in your life even ones you “hate” are your soul family. They are your greatest teachers to overcome your ego and choose love. On the other side, there is unconditional love between your souls. The deeper you awaken, the less they will bother you. Once you have completed the soul contract they may even leave your experience.

Spiritual Awakening is only the beginning

The awakening is only the beginning of your conscious spiritual journey. You will ebb and flow through times of increased awareness, healing, wisdom, mystical experiences, and hard times. It is not all sunshine and rainbows, but those highs will be high and the lows will be powerful times of wisdom and transformation.

Just when you think you have a grasp on how this all works, the Universe will shake things up for you to level up. Everything you believe "true" will come into question and possibly crumble beneath you yet again. The journey can be confusing, exciting, and all the other emotions you can think of, but it is worth it!

Final Thoughts

Your spiritual awakening will transform your entire world. Your soul triggered it because you are ready. You knew this coming into this lifetime that you would awaken and now you get to spiritually evolve and open your heart to new levels of love.
