What Is A Spiritual Awakening?

Let me begin this entry with a question. What do you think a spiritual awakening is? Have you ever questioned reality? Why you are here or even your purpose in life? These are all questions we ponder in life at some point in life. Usually it begins in childhood when we just begin to exist. It is as one day we were not here, then poof, like magic here we are becoming conscious of our existence on Earth. You will notice that when you are around your parents they are near you and when they leave for work they are not with you. This is because we can only be in one place at a time in this this dimension.

As children we are carefree and without a worry in the world. Experiencing everything we can. This spiritual awakening can occur at any point in a person's life. It depends on the circumstances and sequences of events that lead up to this spiritual awakening. It varies with everyone as each of us is our own personal journey. Becoming aware of this phenomenon of awakening is when we realize that after all the social conditioning, through school, our parents, society, and the news media. There is more to life than meets the eye. Our entire existence is to experience this world. 

A spiritual awakening from my perspective is when a person reaches a point in there life where they are questioning everything from their very existence to the social constructs that we live under. Even questioning facts provided to us and religion. In my opinion, religion alone is not spirituality. Spirituality comes from deep within each persons soul. When that spark happens that allows one to seek answers, then with a pure heart and pure intentions will the answers come to us. They come to us through our intuition, use of discernment from social media, even messengers in the real world, and from a dream world. 

Once this awakening happens so many different things begin to happen to ones body. A person may experience aches and pains through their body, sensitivity to being around people, emotions they never experienced before. A sense of euphoric sensation that overcomes your body and makes you feel light as if you are floating. You may find yourself gliding as you walk almost as if you are on cloud 9! This is one layer of the awakening.

As you progress through this new found sense of realization that the whole world and Universe are new, it is as an inner child appears outwardly and you begin to see the world anew. Things you may have experienced before have a renewed sense about them. You find joy in the very little things and you may experience a bunch of synchronicities that validate your findings. 

There is also a shadow side to this experience. As one awakens, there is inner work that needs to be faced. The shadow work is when one digs into their past and begins to face their fears, scars, and trauma head first. As you navigate through this process and conquer one layer, another one will come to the surface! A spiritual awakening is like peeling away a layer on an onion. Finding the root cause of a block, and digging deeper into your subconscious to begin healing.
