Signs You’re Going Through A Spiritual Awakening

A spiritual awakening can be a frightening experience to go through, particularly in a society that discourages asking questions.

You’re questioning things you never used to. You may start to question why you are expected to do or not do certain things. You might start to wonder why you have find a job, get married, have children or anything else your parents expect you to do. Stay calm and try to have rational discussions with your parents and see if you can come to a conclusion that makes sense for you. You’re experiencing dramatic highs and lows. One day you might feel on top of the world and the next you might feel lower than you’ve ever been. This is a sign that you’re raising your vibration or elevating your consciousness. This is a common symptom whilst experiencing an awakening and is a great sign to watch out for. Try to observe your mental state over time by keeping a journal. You don’t resonate with people you used to. You start to see people’s true intentions and understand why they behave the way they do. You may start to realise that friends you thought had your best interest at heart were actually using you for their own gain. Don’t judge them - recognise what their intentions are and distance yourself. Your behaviour is changing dramatically. You may have once been the life and soul of the party and now you prefer to be alone. You may decide to stop consuming certain foods or drugs and you might break up with your current partner. These behavioral changes occur because your perspective is shifting and you need time away from others who aren’t yet awake to integrate new experiences.You’re seeking answers. The stories you were once told don’t make sense anymore and you are now seeking more concrete answers. Whether it be the origin of the universe, religion or where our food comes from - you want answers that make sense to you instead of the ones you’re presented with. This thirst for knowledge will cause you to seek out knowledge and through this you will develop your own truths about the world you live in.

Along the journey of spiritual awakening you will encounter many people who are still “asleep,” recognizes them and leave them to continue with their journey. It is not your responsibility to awaken them, they will learn in their own time, lead by example instead of trying to preach to others. Keep in mind that it is dangerous to wake someone who is sleepwalking. One of the most courageous decisions you'll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul. Listen to your body. If you're hungry, then eat. If you are bored and just want to indulge with a snack that isnt a decision based on what your body needs. This has to apply to everything my body needs and wants. If we grow impatient and force pleasure we dive into realms of greed. Practice being driven by what the body actually needs and you'll find yourself doing much less regrettable actions and develop a stronger self esteem and confidence. Control yourself, you steer the ship. Every change you make, begins with a change in beliefs. Don't rely on old beliefs that someone programmed into you. It's your brain, your rules! Sometimes, what you believe, isn’t always right. Be aware of what is happening so you can see & feel a change happening too. Any darkness that you experienced can be the light you carry that heals others. Your pain had a purpose. Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger. But when they are exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending that you’re perfect, and walk into freedom. You either get bitter or you get better. It is that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you. You are not the random thoughts that pop into your head throughout the day- you are the consciousness observing them. Smile at the minds stream of endless random thoughts- they do not define you, do not let them control you. You are divine source energy; trust that life is happening for you, not to you, and you will see the difference that it makes in your life when you live from that perspective! Meditation helps you to be at peace. Some people say that they are at peace and they are happy from within but when challenging circumstances arrive in there life they do get disturbed. It is important to meditate for atleast 10 minutes in your day so that you can control your mind and emotions. The truth is all the benefits you learn about meditation only appear when you are consistent. This is the most painful part of the self-love process; discovering that even when you exceed your own expectations, it will not fill the void and relieve the pressure that you feel. Nothing external will deliver the self-love you are looking for- only YOU can give that to yourself.

Peace & positive vibes. ❤️
