Spiritual awakening: what is it, symptoms, experience and tips
Do you suspect that you are currently in the middle of a spiritual awakening or do you hear this concept more and more often and do you want to know what it means? Then this article is for you. I myself have been working with spirituality for years now, so I like to share my experience.
But also: what is the meaning, what are the possible symptoms (such as physical complaints) that you can experience, how long does spiritual awakening take and what tips can you apply in this phase of 'waking up'?
WHAT IS SPIRITUAL AWAKENING? (THE MEANING)
When you are engaged in personal development, you often automatically come across the subject of spirituality.
But what is the definition of spiritual awakening? It is a process of awareness, which provides insight.
From the outside in, realizing that there is a bigger picture, everything is connected, and who you really are.
Others call it becoming aware of certain illusions or conditioning and also call it waking up.
And how does that spiritual awakening happen? That is different for everyone (if it happens at all in this life), there is no fixed age for it.
One goes through a depression or burnout, the other experiences something sudden such as an accident. That can start a process. There is no single answer to the question of how long spiritual awakening takes. I don't believe it's something that happens and then it's done.
There would be several phases that you go through, I like to call this 'layers' that you go through and with which your consciousness grows.
According to some, the goal of spiritual development is enlightenment, others say that only a few will achieve it.
Why more and more people are doing this is because the frequency of the earth is getting higher. The collective consciousness is growing!
SYMPTOMS OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING (SIGNIFICATION)
When did you awaken spiritually? You can notice this by symptoms such as psychological and physical complaints.
But also in certain preferences or changed needs. Perhaps it will give you some insight into your process:
- A feeling of being lonely, mood swings/feelings of anxiety -Don't know what you want anymore (stuck) -More urge to be alone or want to go out into nature -Put less value on things, status & opinions -Need for different nutrition or even food intolerances -Being more sensitive to the influence of your cycle and the lunar cycle -More intense dreams or more nightmares and therefore poor sleep -Synchronicity (“coincidences”) in events, songs, numbers, etc. -Tiredness, headache, ringing in the ears, muscle pain, nausea, palpitations or lower libido -Feeling the need to break free from norms, labels & structures (aka: the matrix)
