Spiritual awakenings are unique to each individual, as some seek it out through groups and teachings, while others have it thrust upon them through trauma, accidents, or health issues. Either way, once this journey begins, it creates a momentum, that for some, is exciting, and for others, generates fear.
There are some common signs of spiritual awakening that are shared by both paths of awakening process (external or internal) and once you understand them, they may help you feel more supported through your journey.
Synchronicities
When you become spiritually awakened, you start to see life in patterns, and synchronicities result. This can be observed through repeating numbers, music or lyrics reflecting what you are currently experiencing or needing. Messages in signs such as key words, rainbows, feathers, and animals with symbolic meaning often appear more often and with them, confirmation of questions asked.
More in tune with those around you
This can be seen when you are able to pre-empt what others will say, picking up on their emotions and thought processes even when they are unable to express them themselves, as if there is a twin-like energy. When you are vibrationally aligned with another, you begin sharing the same state of consciousness, otherwise referred to being on the same wavelength.
Heightened intuition
Heightened intuition may present as an instinctual feeling as well as a sense of knowing. This may also present in a form of strong messages or ideas/insight that seems to occur in a timely manner.
The strength of this intuition has the ability to overwhelm the body and grab your intention, especially when it involves urgency or importance.
Seeing the world in a different light
Spiritual awareness enables you to see the perfection in the imperfection. Seeing the world in its beauty with a sense of acceptance that everything is as it should be in that moment occurs as a result. It is normal to move from a place of reaction towards a place of calm action when the awakening evolves.
Deeper compassion
The ability to see the person at a soul level, where there are no judgements, only understanding and compassion, evolves as you move through this awakening process. The important message that you are on your journey, and they are on theirs becomes evident, as well as taking responsibility for your personal journey.
Becoming more sensitive
Empathic abilities often reveal you’re more aware of the energies around you, and you can also be influenced by those energies, whether they are positive, negative, or neutral. It is easy to subconsciously adopt these external energies as your own, even when they are not yours to process.
Feeling alone
The spiritual journey is a personal one. This can shift the way you think about the world and those you wish to surround yourself with. The desire for deeper understanding and true connection with others becomes more appealing. This may impact the life you had established prior to becoming awakened. Feeling disconnected, detached, or misunderstood by others are all common experiences when you initially embark on this journey. You are evolving from the inside out and once you become comfortable with this transition, your newly awakened energy will draw towards you the people and experiences that honour the new you.
Changes in relationships with self and others
As mentioned above, relationships tend to change as your need and desire for growth occurs. This can mean there is a craving for new relationships or removing old relationships that no longer serve you on your journey. Trusting your intuition on what feels right and accepting these shifts is important on this part of becoming awakened. Many people feel they need to sacrifice their old life for a new life, and this isn’t always the case. It is important to see this process as a blending of the old and the new. I know of some people who completely step away from their old life and old ways in one go, resulting in a type of shock to their systems. It is important to move through this process gently rather than with force or determination. Remaining grounded and practical through any spiritual transition will enable you to make clear decisions with positive results.
A journey of discovery
Spiritual awakening encourages expansion of your mind, your heart, and your soul. This may take you in many directions and infiltrates every action and intention. Many people shift tac with their careers, relationships, personal interests, and beliefs as a result of this process. View it as a reprioritisation of your life.
Spiritual awakening is a lifestyle, rather than a hobby.
Spiritual awakening can take many forms; however, this is a whole-listic shift (Mind, body, heart, soul). Once awakened, this provides a sense of inner healing and a feeling of completeness. It cannot be turned off and on at will. This process, once embarked on, becomes a life changing event, impacting the way you engage with life, your values, morals, actions and ethics.
As everyone’s spiritual awakening journeys are unique to them and their lives, you may experience further growth phases that you desire more understanding on.
