I recently had a client who was quite worried when spirit told her that she was experiencing a spiritual awakening. After google searching she messaged me very worried indeed after being lead to believe this was a bad thing.
So I felt the need to share with you all what it actually means and how positive it can be for us all.
An awakening happens when you are no longer living in a world where you filter everything through your ego and focusing on the future and the past. Instead, you have an almost simultaneous awareness of your individual self and the connection between that and everything else.
One of the first signs of awakening is noticing. You may be going through life on autopilot without giving much thought to who you are, what you want, and why you are here. Having these questions pop up is like turning on a light in a previously dark room. If you are aware that you are witnessing how you do life, you may be asking yourself:
Do I really need to drink so much?
Why do I get angry so often?
Why am I always comparing myself to others?
Why can’t I get out of bed when my alarm goes off?
Why do I attract so much drama?
The first step in growth is always the awareness of the present moment followed by an impulse to change something.
Think of inner peace as being unflappable. It doesn’t mean that things don’t go wrong in your life, it just means that when things do go badly, you aren’t on an emotional roller coaster of anger, frustration, or despair.
Empathy is your ability to feel what others are feeling, to try on a new perspective. Compassion is an action that is inspired by your empathy. It literally means “to suffer with.” People who are in the process of a spiritual awakening begin to notice both a more all-encompassing empathy and a more action-oriented compassion that feels normal, natural, and fulfilling. One area of compassion that is often forgotten is self-compassion
Removing fear of death, seeing death as inevitable, as part of your process, allows for peace and removes fear. Your own demise seems less tragic when you focus on living in the present and stop worrying so much about the future.
Awakened people have a level of well-being that seems to be more consistent. You know that there is a mind-body connection, which translates to people who are happier are also healthier.
For those of you reading this and feeling like you have had hints of awakening but want to open yourself fully to its potential, here are some recommended activities:
Meditate
Spend time outside
Laugh
Dance
Connect with your community
Volunteer
Practice gratitude
Slow down
