Spiritual Awakening: What’s Happening To Me?

Has a spiritual awakening entered your life? At some point or another, your soul might feel so much pain, it cries out for help. Some people call this “hitting bottom.” Others call it a turning point or crossroads where you make a new choice in your consciousness. Whatever you call it, if you are experiencing strange synchronicities, seeing your world through the eyes of bliss, or hitting a catalytic moment where your life changes forever, you might be having a spiritual awakening. As confusing as it may be, fear not. You have support to guide you through it.

Why does spiritual awakening happen?

A spiritual awakening happens when you make a new choice in your heart. It happens when you open up to a new way of living and loving – usually because you have hit a breaking point within yourself.

This breaking point is called “contrast” or an experience of suffering which is bad enough that you choose for it to stop. When you’ve had enough of “suffering,” you open up to a new experience of love.

Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening

Experiencing a spiritual awakening is different for everyone, but here are some common symptoms:

A heart opening in the heart chakra where you feel light, love, openness and freedom from fear.

A feeling in your heart of connection to the Divine which feels safe, comforting, secure and unconditionally loving.

A state of bliss or energy felt physically throughout the body.

A vision or third eye connection with the Divine through meditation or prayer.

A recognition of Divinity in your beloved Twin Flame through love-making or by recognizing them in your heart as your One True Love.

A dark night of the soul where you experience your fears coming to the surface to be released. We call this process upheaval.

Keep in mind that drugs can also bring on a temporary ecstatic experience, but these experiences are artificially induced and impossible to maintain. In other words, there’s always a price you will pay to have a “high,” so it’s not recommended to go this way. The alternative is to build and develop that connection within yourself.

Many psychotic experiences may also feel like a connection with Divinity, but again, a temporary connection to a “high” feeling can’t be sustained and will always lead to a corresponding “low” feeling.

Healing is the way to experience a stable connection with Love.

A Spiritual Awakening Story

Years ago I was living with a man who I thought I would marry. However, we were fighting like crazy. Every life choice we wanted to make seemed in total contradiction.

I was recently unemployed and very disheartened by where I was in life. I was also in deep meditation and spiritual study, searching for an answer to what felt like the lowest point of my life. The deep pain cracked me wide open for a flood of spiritual insight. I felt like the entire universe was a symphony that I could conduct. I felt deeply loved and also deep fears came to the surface, rocking me to the core.

It took a while to ground and unpack all that I experienced, but soon after, I discovered the Twin Flame path. This gave me tools for a much more peaceful spiritual experience and helped me manifest my true Twin Flame. We are now married, and a calm, grounded spirituality is the core of our life together.

What to do when you have a spiritual awakening?

It can be confusing to have an experience of blissful God and then have to deal with the laundry. Not to worry, you are not going crazy, you are just waking up. It’s called “awakening” for a reason – you are becoming aware that the surface illusion of life is not all there is. And the “laundry” or everyday stuff of life is not separate from God. In fact, it helps you to ground and be present with God in peace. So what do you do with this?

Choose to explore deeper within and claim your support. There are many paths and supports for a spiritual awakening. We recommend these.
Go about your everyday life. The simple tasks help keep you grounded as your nervous system processes the changes.
Connect with other people on the same path. Fellowship helps you realize that what you’re going through is perfectly normal, and you are not alone.
Know that you are right where you need to be. More will be revealed if you seek it.

What does spiritual awakening have to do with Twin Flames?

You might experience a spiritual awakening along with meeting your Twin Flame. The Twin Flame path is in fact a path to union with the Divine, so this is to be expected! However, it’s not just your Twin Flame that can trigger a spiritual awakening. Certain spiritual practices, spiritual teachers, and even super spiritual soulmates can be catalysts for that within you.

Regardless of how a spiritual awakening starts, know that you are safe. You are beginning a beautiful journey of realization of the Divine within and without, and there is always support when you need it.
