Signs You Are Experiencing a Spiritual Awakening
Spiritual awakening has become a buzz word in recent years, and that’s because people have been awakening at seemingly record rates. This is not a coincidence, this is an energetic evolutionary process occurring on Earth during this time for the purpose of the evolution of humanity. It’s the shift in realization that we are not humans with a soul, we are souls with human bodies.
Spiritual awakening is a process of remembering who you are at your core, remembering your soul and what you came here to do.
It’s the remembrance of who our soul is, our intuition, and what our spiritual connections are within the unseen worlds.
It’s a shift and evolution in consciousness, separating from the illusions of the ego and the 3D world and reconnecting with higher truths, consciousness, and frequency.
It’s a rediscovery of the self that can disrupt your current reality because when you awaken to the truth of who your soul self is, the illusions of reality created by the version of your Ego self, or the reality that your Ego self was living in, start to dissolve. A predominant characteristic of our 3D reality that we are all used to here on Earth is that these realities are part of false time and false reality matrixes. This is why many spiritual teachings now talk about “breaking out of the matrix”. This is a concept of the process of awakening to the truth of who you are and the world that you are living in, and changing your state of consciousness from one operating within the false matrix (3rd dimension) to a consciousness operating in higher dimensions. This is not a process where you are physically leaving the matrix and that all of the things around you are going to miraculous change to a heaven like reality like some people teach. (I fell into this disappointing trap myself when I was awakening). Instead, breaking out of the matrix is happening in your consciousness - meaning that you now operate within a set of beliefs that are aligned with higher truths and ways of connecting with others.
The Earth currently is in a process of evolution from 3D to 5D through this current spiritual awakening process. This is also being called the creation of the New Earth, meaning that anyone operating in the 3D consciousness is in the Old Earth, and anyone operating in the 5D consciousness is in the New Earth. Theories explain that this process takes time and that in the earlier phases of this process, the Old and New Earth are overlapping, meaning that everyone is seeing the same reality and that the main difference is the consciousness people are living inside of their own heads and beings.
We are the creators of our own reality within our own little personal worlds. There is also a collective reality or a collective timeline, meaning that when enough people are operating in the same frequency, a physical reality starts to manifest from that consciousness frequency. The collective consciousness of the group of people who are operating at 5D frequencies begins to create and shape a new physical reality, aka the creation of the New Earth, where it is theorized that a whole new physical planet or reality will take shape over time. How long this process takes, we are not exactly sure. Some theories state by 2030, while other theories state it’ll take thousands of years. Who knows what exactly this physical reality will look like yet.
Either way, consciously operating from the 5D frequency is life changing in itself because it is aligned with the authentic soul self, union, compassion, love, healing, collaboration. It is a much more harmonious reality than the 3D frequency of Ego, separation, woundedness, control, distortion, and illusion.
There are multiple versions of ourselves - there are 3D Ego and wounded versions of ourselves, as well as the 5D authentic soul self. Conscious awareness of our patterns allows us to take action to change or release those versions of ourselves. Conscious awareness of our intuition and higher self allows us to create the visions and dreams and to take action towards growing into and becoming a higher version of ourself.
When undergoing a spiritual awakening, you’re feeling a call from your higher, soul self asking you to make a change. This is the calling of the soul asking you to evolve and ascend to a higher version of yourself, along with many other people right now.
If you are feeling this call and this pull, know that you are not alone. This is happening across the Earth, as a collective, asking us to evolve and grow into versions of ourselves that operate in the 5D New Earth frequency.
Signs you are Experiencing a Spiritual Awakening:
You start questioning things - possibly everything. You being to question why things happen around you, why things are the way that they are, why you believe certain things. Your beliefs can start to shift and you can start to see the world operating from a different perspective. You can start to see hidden intentions, manipulations, or agendas from others that you weren’t able to see before.
You feel a call deep inside you to change or do things differently, and you may or may not know what that is. But that calling inside of you can be persistent. Even if it is a soft, quiet whisper, that calling keeps repeating until it is acknowledged or acted upon. It persists until you are ready to answer the call and make the change.
Your sleeping habits have changed and perhaps you can’t sleep at all. Insomnia is very common. The spirit often is most active or most clear at night, when the noise of the world quiets down. If you’re having trouble sleeping, pay attention to the calls and whispers inside of you and what they are urging you to do.
You may experience lucid or vivid dreams, which are often messages from the soul or subconscious communicating with you, or working on processing something for you.
Your senses may have heightened - you may notice increased sensitivity and awareness to the things happening around you. This is the intuition waking up - however it may feel like it had a strong shot of espresso upon awakening. The soul’s messages through intuition can be very excited to communicate with you.
You start seeing numbers, repeating numbers (like 111), symbols, signs, and even synchronicities. The universe communicates through numbers, signs and synchronicities. You may start seeing a sign or number when you are thinking certain thoughts, or you may notice multiple signs at once (synchronicities). The universe (spiritual energy) is trying to urge and guide you along your path, supporting you with messaging along the way. Tune into your intuition to notice what messages are being sent to you when you see those signs or synchronicities.
You start to notice repeating patterns in your life. The 4th dimension is awareness of your subconscious patterns, which can show up as an awareness of repeating habits or situations you are in. For example, every job you have, you have the same type of boss, or the same struggles with your boss. Or, you may notice you always date the same type of significant other. Or, you may notice that all of your ancestors struggle with the same financial or marital troubles that you are currently experiencing. Regardless of the pattern or where it came from, those are subconscious patterns that are forming your reality that are asking for awareness and consciousness to acknowledge and change. This is part of the healing process to release old versions of the self to evolve into the higher self.
You feel like you are disconnecting from reality (not disassociating). When you feel disconnected or detached, you are able to observe the patterns around you from a different perspective, and is a natural process of increasing awareness and consciousness. This reality disconnection process is necessary to disconnect from the 3D reality so you can evolve and transition into higher consciousness realities.
Life can start to feel like you are living in a dream like state.
Your life is starting to feel like a simulation or movie. When you begin to disconnect from the 3D reality, you are able to observe and tap into the 4th dimension of awareness. This often feels like you are observing your life as a movie, like it is no longer your own, or you are watching yourself play a part in the movie. It can make it feel like the reality we have been in is fake (which technically it is, the 3D matrix is also the false time and false reality matrix) This sensation is also a reminder that we are creators of our own reality, and co-creators of the collective reality. This reminder affirms to us that we have the power within us and within our consciousness to no longer participate in the 3D false matrix that was created with distortions, illusions, and woundedness. And instead, we can participate in collaboration with other enlightened, awakened souls to create a more united and harmonious reality (5D, New Earth).
Physical sensations can arise as your body beings to recalibrate to new frequencies. You can experience brain fog, forgetfulness, fatigue, headaches, temperature changes, cold chills, sudden colds or flus, ringing in the ears, palpitations, various aches and pains in the muscles and joints. These physical sensations can also arise as synchronicities.
Loneliness. You may feel like you want to isolate yourself and spend some, or a lot of time in solitude while your mind and consciousness can begin to process, heal, and shift.
Not Every Awakening Looks the Same
Everyone has their own unique lives, unique soul missions, and unique circumstances - so everyone will experience spiritual awakening differently. Some people will experience small evolutions and growths, while others will experience numerous or large evolutions and growths. The process is specific to the individual and their journey for their lifetime here.
This process can last for a few weeks for some people, others may experience this process for months, and others may experience this awakening process for years. There is no right or wrong way to experience spiritual awakening. Everyone will go through their own journey on their own timing.
What to do: Follow where the journey is leading you. If you feel called to do new things or to act different, follow it. This is your intuition trying to guide you - let it.
Spiritual Awakening Phases
Initiation - The process is started and you may feel like your world is falling apart, like you (your Ego) are dying, or like you are being separated from your world. You may feel awareness of higher spiritual purpose.
Questioning - The process of beginning to question everything around you to find deeper understanding and shifts in perspective.
Quest - The search and journey of connecting with higher energies like God, or your higher self, and searching for what you are really wanting to do with your life.
Integration - The process of bringing your new awareness, beliefs, and sense of purpose back into the world and integrating everything you have learned on your spiritual journey back into everyday life. This is a process of balancing and integrating your new healed self, and moving forward with a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned.
