What is a Spiritual Awakening?
A Spiritual Awakening in its most simplistic term, is a shift of your perspective and view of yourself and all you have come to know. It is a time when your soul-self takes a powerful leap towards expanded consciousness. When you start to experiences the spiritual awakening process fully, you realise that your own learnings, beliefs, thoughts and fears, along with what you perceived as being 'true', about yourself and the physical world, are not what you thought. Think of it as though you have been walking through life in the dark, and someone suddenly turns the light on!

Why do we experience a Spiritual Awakening?
We are a spiritual soul in human form, we are here to experience certain life lessons and to grow and learn. Our goal is to evolve spiritually, emotionally and conscientiously while we are on the physical plane, in order to reach a higher vibration when we return home to spirit. Do not think that we only learn and grow while we are in human form, because there is much learning and growing to do while in spirit also! We are experiencing a learning continuum. The transition has a lot to do with letting go and shedding your old self and beliefs and moving towards to a higher understanding of who you are on a deeper conscious level. In the words of Deepak Chopra, your perspective is changing and you no longer see the world and yourself through false limitations. You are beginning to see the bigger picture. The meaning of a spiritual awakening is unique to each individual, and this is the same for the many emotional, mental and psychical symptoms that come with it.

Still not sure what is going on for you?
If you believe you may be going through a spiritual awakening or you are not sure what is happening to you or how you feel, tuning into your own knowing and inner wisdom, of which we are all gifted, will enable you to gain a better understanding of your symptoms. When you begin to see yourself from the perspective of the spirit within it will help you to understand the bigger picture of who you are and why you are here. It is the very same soul-self connection that you are afraid of that, if given the opportunity, will provide you with the intuitive answers and solutions you require. You need only ask. When and if painful memories or events surface, you will be able to think about them without the emotional intensity they normally bring with them, so that you can gain wisdom, release any negative emotional bonds, and find peace, freedom and healing from the inside out. Your higher self is always nudging you to towards a resolution of the conflicts that you have experienced in your life so that you can find a learning, move past them and evolve. As spirits having a human experience, this is what we are all here to do, and that includes you!

Trusting your own Soul-Self
Navigating your way through this transition can be confusing and overwhelming, as every aspect of your past, present and future wants to be analysed, and every thought, feeling and emotion that you have, or have ever had, wants to come to the surface and be heard. Perhaps you have been happy with how your life has been up to now or you have been resigned to the fact that this is it, something is telling you that there is a lot more to why you are here in human form and it is urging you to find out. This is your soul-self wanting to grow and evolve to a higher level of consciousness.
