If you wonder if you’re having a spiritual awakening, you probably are. Spiritual awakening, what it is? How does it happen? Why does it happen? How do you know it’s happening? All valid questions, of course! When and how is a toss up. There are so many different reasons out there why some people “wake up”. From my own experience, I found my twin flame, but so many others just tend to start seeing through the facade of everything from societal conditioning to what their purpose really is here on Earth, or making personal improvements that help them evolve to the point of awakening.
There are so many symptoms and signs but I’ll list 10 here. It took me months to realize what was happening to me. The one thing that caused me to find out I was experiencing an awakening was that I started seeing 11:11 all of the time, twice a day for several days in a row. Everyone is different and is going to have a different experience so please don’t compare your experiences to another person’s experience. I’ve had so many weird experiences that no-one else has I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s impossible to compare spiritual journeys.
- Seeing 11:11 or angel numbers like 333, 555, 444, 777, etc. Angel numbers are a really amazing way the universe communicates with some of us. If you see these numbers they all have specific meanings and vibrations. There is a link to my personal favorite Angel Numbers Index that provides the meanings of the numbers.
- Start noticing psychic abilities awakening. Clairaudience, claircognizence, clairvoyance, and clairsentient are the four most common abilities that start to appear.
- May feel the urge to become more spiritual or connected. Some who have never had an interest in spirituality topics such as meditation, crystals, energy healing, shadow work, etc. may find themselves researching said topics.
- Starting to ask deeper questions about yourself like “Why are we here?” “What is my true purpose here on Earth?”
- The “old life” starts to fall away from you. Interests start to change, friendships change. As you start to raise your vibration you’ll find that some things you used to like, you’re not really interested in anymore. Friends you used to like being around don’t match your new vibe and they tend to eventually fall away. It’s something I found kind of hard to deal with but you eventually start attracting your true soul tribe.
- One may experience a “dark night of the soul”. This is what some call a spiritual depression. One going through it may feel hopeless, empty and disconnected.
- Physical symptoms may happen. You may feel tingling at the top of your head. You may experience what they call the “Ascension Flu” Some that experience ascension experience physical symptoms when adjusting to new vibrational shifts on the planet. This may not always be the case so always consult a doctor when in doubt.
- Feeling like you’re in an emotional upheaval, you’re going to feel all over the place with your emotions. It can get crazy at times but the important thing is to not suppress those feelings. Feel them, sit with them, process them. They’re happening for a reason.
- Wanting to spend more time in solitude. I’m personally an introvert already and love my solitude but waking up made me a complete hermit for several months.
- Going between feeling exhausted and having much energy.
These are just some of the symptoms and signs I had but there are many more and vary between everyone since we’re all having different experiences.
In closing, I hope that this finds you at the right time and helps clear some of the confusion you may be experiencing. You are not alone in this process. There are so many wonderful groups and individuals who are experiencing the same transformation. Below are links to two pages that have really helped me through my spiritual awakening journey.
