Spiritual awakening is a profound process that leads a person to expand their consciousness and establish a deeper connection to their inner truth. It is a journey that often begins with a strong desire for spiritual growth and self-realization.
In this article, we will take a closer look at the experience, characteristics, triggers and everyday consequences of a spiritual awakening.
Experience of spiritual awakening:
Spiritual awakening is often characterized by a deep sense of connection with all life and a strong feeling of inner peace. People who had a spiritual awakening often report intense experiences such as out-of-body experiences, the feeling of being one with the universe or experiencing different realities. It is a process of self-realization and self-transformation that enriches life to a deeper level.
My personal experience:
My awakening was one of deep connection with a transcendental energy that I perceived as divine. The realities that revealed themselves to me during my spiritual awakening appeared to be beyond this world. The abilities I rediscovered during this phase far surpassed ordinary human abilities. To this day, my conscious memory of certain experiences has not returned. This is something I often find difficult to accept. But I have no choice but to trust that if it is useful and meaningful for me, the memory will return. Fears or worries were absent during this time; instead, joy, bliss and deep inner peace were my constant companions.
Characteristics of spiritual awakening:
The characteristics of a spiritual awakening include an increased awareness of one’s own spirituality, a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of life and a heightened empathy for other people and all living beings. People who experience a spiritual awakening often develop a greater awareness of themselves and their surroundings and strive for a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
My personal experience:
My psychic senses were awakened once again. I was able to hear conversations taking place across the room, saw things with more than just my physical eyes, and knew in advance what the other person was going to say even before it was spoken. Almost without a break, I seemed to feel the emotions of all humanity. I carried out every little everyday action with the utmost mindfulness and observed myself in the process.
Triggers of spiritual awakening:
Spiritual awakening can be brought on by various triggers. Drastic life events such as Divorce, loss of a loved one, intense relationship problems, deep existential crises, serious illness or accident, intense practices of meditation or yoga, or simply a strong inner desire for spiritual growth. It is often a gradual process that takes place over a longer period of time and is characterized by various experiences and insights.
My personal experience:
The months leading up to my awakening were filled with great emotional stress in my marriage. Emotional stress can have a variety of negative effects on our well-being. It can manifest itself as anxiety, worry, irritability, sleep disturbance and physical ailments. It’s important to pay attention to our body’s signals and take appropriate steps to deal with emotional stress. I did not listen to the sleep disturbances, the massive weight loss, the extreme thinness – the signals from my body – because I was not supposed to hear them in order to wake up.
Consequences of spiritual awakening in everyday life:
The consequences of spiritual awakening in everyday life can be manifold. People who experience a spiritual awakening often report an increased sense of inner peace and serenity, a deeper connection with other people and a greater appreciation for the beauty of life. They often develop a greater mindfulness of their thoughts and actions and strive for a more harmonious and fulfilling life. The memory of one’s true divine nature gradually returns; “the veils are slowly lifted”
My personal experience:
The memory of my true divine nature had returned, the veils had lifted. This forced me to completely change my life and redefine myself. This meant ending my marriage of thirty years, giving up my job and moving to another place. My interest in spirituality and personal development was awakened and I began to acquire knowledge by reading books, attending courses and healing my wounded inner self. I had to learn to integrate the psychic abilities I had regained during my awakening into my daily life. This made me realize my calling, which I have been living with great joy and passion ever since.
Overall, spiritual awakening is a transformative experience that greatly enriches life on a non-material level. It is the experience of the spiritual Being that we truly are, and leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation of life and one’s true nature.
