Spiritual Awakening 101 – The Ultimate Guide to Spiritually Awakening Safely
Awakening can often feel like a mixed up, jumbled mess. At least, that’s how I felt about it when I was going through it. It was so turbulent and uncertain, like an undulating mass of questions, emotions, synchronicity and destiny. Some of it was incredibly beautiful and meaningful, while the rest of it was confusing, overwhelming and at times, frightening. It wasn’t until I recovered from my spiritual emergence (an awakening that hits crisis level) that I suddenly had the realization that there was structure to the experience – that it all happened for a reason – and that each moment had to happen in that exact perfect way in order to orchestrate a whole that was to be our undoing. It is the catalyst for the very undoing of everything that is not true to us – not divinely authentic, and all of the false beliefs we’ve had about life that have limited us, lifetime after lifetime. Its incredibly freeing, and its paves the way for an entirely new life experience where the goodness of life can truly flourish, and you can embrace your greatest joy, and really feel fulfilled (and this includes for any future lifetimes too).
But the truth is that if you’re reading this article, you’re likely not out of the other end of awakening. You’re probably not feeling stable or secure yet at all (don’t worry, that’s normal) and you’re also probably wondering what the hell is going on and questioning how you’ll ever get through it. Well, you will, but unfortunately there really isn’t much in the way of real, solid guidance or advice on awakening (I know because I scoured the internet looking for answers throughout most of my awakening) and I intend to share that here in this epic, somewhat novel-like blog post. The truth is that you need a map of the territory you’re walking, and you need one created by someone who has already walked it, tripped over every obstacle on the pathway (whoops) and made it through to the other side.
Spiritual Awakening or Ascension Process? There’s a difference…
Before we get into the deeper content of this article I’d like to make a distinction that is often confused throughout the spiritual community. There is a fundamental difference between those of us going through a spiritual awakening and those of us who are ascending.
Spiritual awakening is often a dramatic, unexpected and jolting experience. It is an awakening in every sense of the word that can give us symptoms that we don’t understand, and often lead us to crisis (however, in this blog post I intend to help us avoid that).
Ascension is the process that planet earth is going through – evolving, changing and growing so that we are more compassionate, understanding and intuitive. Therefore, everyone going through a spiritual awakening is ascending, but not all who are ascending are going through a spiritual awakening. I clarify this not to encourage labels, but to help this information to reach the right reader. I spent many years on a spiritual path, fulfilling a light workers career. I felt aligned and intuitive, I was absolutely part of the ascension process, however it wasn’t until I hit an energetic crisis that my true spiritual awakening began. Neither is truly better than the other, but in the interest of reaching those in spiritual awakening crisis, I make this distinction.
The REAL Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening
In order for you to really clearly make this distinction for yourself, you need to know the most common symptoms of awakening:
- Highly sensitive and emotional
- Feeling anxious or panicked
- Extremely high empathy – picking up everyone else’s ‘stuff’
- Feeling completely overwhelmed
- Feeling crazy or questioning your sanity
- Psychic senses out of control, intrusive or frightening
- Mental health concerns
- Physical difficulties – aches, pains, fatigue, brain fog
- Unable to ground your energy
The stages of awakening are generally the same for all of us, however the intricate details are not. In our next section you’ll also come to understand your experience and symptoms more clearly.
Our 7 day energy healing course, ’Grounded Awakenings’ can help with this.
The Stages of Spiritual Awakening
Ok, so now that we know the most common signs of awakening, lets take a look at the stages of a spiritual awakening. This is where you’ll begin to make more sense of the symptoms you are experiencing and how they fit into the process.
Stage #1 – Awaken
This is the stage that starts it all and no, it wasn’t an accident. Your soul planned exactly what it was doing before coming down here – its happening for a reason. Large quotients of energy begin to flood your system. The psychic centers are opened (usually quite abruptly) and suddenly your feeling, sensing, seeing or hearing things that you weren’t aware of before. Your psychic senses are so much more acute – you may even begin having powerful spiritual experiences or sensations and you’ll feel more sensitive than usual too. Due to the heightening of these psychic senses you’ll likely feel the need to retreat – to pull back from people, places, and things. You’ll want to hibernate. That is entirely natural.
Stage #2 – Healing
Now your system is seriously online (and it needs to be for this next part). Energy is thrust (quite powerfully) up through the chakra system. The purpose is to dislodge any blockages that stop that energy flowing smoothly straight through your system (giving you a purer connection to source). There are old emotions, heart breaks and trauma from past life times that our soul needs to heal. This is why our psychic senses had to be so heightened – so that we could tap into the information from our past lives and become aware of it.
During this phase you’ll feel really emotional. Your emotions will change wildly and erratically. You may feel you have no control over when or where or how strongly they come up. It can be really hard. And if you try to hide, the universe will put people in your way to trigger the emotions that need healed. So the lady at the gas station will give you a look that triggers an inexplicable sense of fear in you. Or you’ll just happen to meet a new love interest with the same name as the one who broke your heart before. Things will get really synchronistic, and probably quite confusing, but this stage will pass. And the good news is, that once these issues are done, they are really and truly forever DONE. They’ll be healed and cleared so well on the soul level that you’ll likely never feel them in the same way ever again.
Stage #3 – Life Purpose
Phew! By the time you get to here, you’ll be feeling inspired, creative, full of ideas and equipped with an inbuilt sense of duty to help or serve in some way. You might just feel like Superman – and so you should! However, there are likely still some little niggles that show up as you move into a new project – which is probably entirely new territory. Sometimes at this stage you get a little second wave of the previous. The universe is testing that all of these issues (who weren’t who you truly are) are gone for good. You might find some old patterns, issues or pains surge again. And when they do you’ll probably feel exasperated, and irritated at yourself, and question if you’ve made any progress at all. But they’ve been inflated and intensified for a reason – so that you’ll clear out every last nook and cranny of that low self esteem, or loneliness, or anxiety. You’ll finally be free of it!
This time can be a little nerve wracking, as you step into a cause or a new career or the thing that fulfills you most. Its nerve wracking simply because its new. And while your soul has let go of fears that you can’t do it, or worries that it wont work out, it also has never had an experience without them looming over you. It can feel odd to try something and do well, or to have a good thing and keep it (particularly if your life has been difficult). Allow yourself to realize that everything is OK. You are safe and guided as you try new things and find ways of living that truly express who you really are.
Stage #4 – Divinity
Now is the stage when most folks will tell you that you have reached ‘guru status’. I’m not going to tell you that, because personally, I feel its a little ungrounded. Divinity is about being so clear of old pain, negative beliefs and assumptions about life, that you are truly pure in your energy. You are true to who you are. You are in your divinity because, much like a beautiful diamond is encrusted in muck and coal, you have removed and cleared everything that is NOT who you are. All that’s left is a beautiful polished diamond (that’s YOU by the way).
The Cause Of Challenging Awakening Signs And Symptoms
In order to understand the cause of any difficult signs and symptoms of awakening, I refer right back to the beginning of the process. It was the initial influx of light coming into our systems that caused us to become highly sensitive, deeply empathic and psychically opened. But the truth is, that the initial influx of light (that was really ungrounding) is only needed to kick-start the process – if we stay ungrounded we are going to continue to intensify our emotions, heighten our empathy and open psychically even more, and THAT’S when we start to get really difficult symptoms. That’s when it starts to get out of control because then we are TOO opened, TOO emotional and TOO empathic. It can make normal daily life practically unbearable, and our human bodies are not designed to handle that level of light energy just yet.
We don’t want to stop the process, and we don’t want to shut off our abilities or our compassion, but we do want to make it compatible with living a normal, happy life. So, now that we know that these symptoms are a result of being ungrounded during our awakening, we know we need to ground our energies, but there’s a problem…
Traditional Grounding Methods Often Don’t Work For Us During Spiritual Awakening
The truth is, it’s REALLY hard to get grounded during awakening, particularly because of that initial influx of high vibrational light. In fact, we might find that grounding either doesn’t work, doesn’t last or makes our symptoms much worse (like I did).
The reason is that we are so incredibly charged and highly sensitized by that high vibrational energy that ANYTHING that affects our energy in ANY way actually tends to charge us. Its like an electrical charger, plugged in to the socket. Unless it has something to channel that energy into, it tends to charge further and further, heating up, over heating and could eventually go on fire. Its like that with spiritual awakening. Our bodies just can’t handle that level of energy (yet).
This means that simple grounding methods like meditation, yoga, crystals and essential oils will actually have the OPPOSITE effect. Every time they affect our energies they inadvertently stimulate us further. And that’s a problem because if we can’t ground ourselves using our usual ‘go-to’ methods, our symptoms continue to get worse and more out of control and harder to handle (particularly anxiety).
How To Ground Your Spiritual Awakening (and reduce your symptoms in the process)
The truth is that there is nothing that I’ve found that can ground our highly charged energies particularly well. The best thing is actually abstinence from things that affect our energies – this can make a MASSIVE difference. In fact, it wasn’t until I did that that my awakening finally leveled out to a more even transition.
If there was only one piece of advice that I could give you to help you in your spiritual awakening, this would be it.
AVOID MEDITATION AND CRYSTALS LIKE. THE. PLAGUE.
And I mean that, in every sense of the word. This is the number 1 biggest mistake that I see SO MANY people make during spiritual awakening. I get literally hundreds of emails and messages of people telling me that their awakening symptoms are out of control. They are anxious, overwhelmed, afraid and confused. Their empathy is heightened to painfully sensitive levels. Their emotions are out of control and their body is aching (or breaking down) as a result of the awakening process. Understandably they are panicking, and in a serious state of crisis.
But that’s not technically because of the awakening process. Its because they are MAJORLY ungrounded DURING the awakening process. Its because they are going through a spiritual awakening – which super charges your energies – and then they are engaging in activities or being in the vicinity of things that stimulate their energies even further. If you are going through awakening, but avoid these energetic stimulants, awakening isn’t like that. At. All.
But truthfully, its not their fault (and its not yours either). It seems to be common advice within the spiritual community. ‘Are you going through awakening? Then spend time meditating. Use your crystals to ground you and use essential oils to calm your energies.’ No, no and NO. In fact, engaging in too much of these things during the awakening process can actually throw you into a FULL BLOWN CRISIS. I know because I’ve been there. And I know because it happens to people who message me everyday. Not only is it advice that is as good as useless, it is seriously dangerous advice for those of us awakening.
The Golden Rule Of Awakening
Don’t do things that are going to:
• Charge your energy
• Stimulate your kundalini
• Or alter your energetic or psychic state
Avoid all of this, at least for now. When you find yourself more grounded, you can carefully test and investigate to see how your energy responds (don’t worry, I’ve made a simple step by step protocol below that you can follow to help you get started).
Reduce Your Spiritual Awakening Symptoms in 3 Easy Steps!
This is my most shared protocol. Following this guidance can reduce ANY awakening symptoms (no matter how odd) dramatically in a very short space of time. I haven’t found anything to date that works more quickly or effectively for those of us going through awakening.
‘I’ve done both days homework so far and it’s helped SO MUCH. This “crisis” has been happening to varying degrees for almost 3 months now so my relief, even though not yet 100%, is incredible.’
Traci Wilson
Step 1 – Remove ALL energetic stimulants (physical items)
Collect up ALL of your items that affect your energies and put them into another room for the next 2 weeks.
That means all your crystals, essential oils, incense – ANYTHING that is designed to work with or affect your energy. All of it. Be vigilant. I know that’s hard, but it’s only until your energies ground themselves, afterwards you can slowly reintroduce them in little bits while monitoring your symptoms and how you feel.
Gather up all of those items and remove them from your bedroom and living room – put them in another room or garage for the 2 weeks break.
REMEMBER – its only for 2 weeks, but don’t miss anything. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can leave a tiny crystal here and there. This is designed to give your energies a break – to finally stop charging them. This is one of the most grounding things you can do. It’s more grounding than tea tree oil, or walking barefoot, or being in nature by a mile. Honour yourself by testing this method. Nothing is going to change unless you change it.
‘I have removed all my crystals into the spare bedroom of the house (I’ve been carrying them everywhere and sleeping with them for a year) 4 days ago and I’m feeling about 80% better!’
Livia M
Step 2 – Refrain from any spiritual or healing practice that will affect your energy
This includes things like meditation, yoga, mediumship, intuitive training or purposely instigating astral travel. Be careful too, many well-meaning practitioners or teachers will tell you that they know you will be fine, or that their method is safe. Tread carefully and take responsibility for your own well being. If they haven’t been through it, they likely won’t realize how incredibly sensitive and explosive our energies can be and could unintentionally make it worse.
Step 3 – Continue this protocol for at least TWO WEEKS.
I am absolutely confident that a break from these can make BIG changes to how you feel throughout your awakening.
As a general rule, keep them out. I know that some of you may like to reintroduce these practices and items purely because you enjoy them. I do too. Its understandable. But if you were asking me for a general rule of thumb throughout the process of awakening – avoid, avoid, avoid.
‘But what about a guided grounding meditation?’ No. ‘But these crystals are specifically for grounding purposes!’ No. ‘But yoga will surely balance me.’ Whoa. No, no and no.
The truth is that once your energies settle and adjust to this newly awakened state – you’ll be able to add them back in if you choose without any problems or adverse reactions. Heck, when that time comes you can do meditation in a crystal grid pattern with a Shaman blowing sage smoke at you if you like. But you may find, like I did, that by the time you are finally able to go back to them safely, you’ve already realized that you DON’T ACTUALLY NEED THEM in order to ground your energy, access your guides, intuition or inner wisdom at all.
And that’s kind of the point of awakening. Not only are we clearing away everything that is not divinely true to who we authentically are, but we’re discovering the truth that we have free, unlimited access to our intuition, high vibrational white light and higher wisdom that we actually don’t need any sort of a crutch anymore at all. That means we don’t NEED to meditate, or use crystals or tarot cards etc. It is our birthright to access these parts of ourselves and we don’t need anything outside of us to do that either. Once we awaken to this fact, we access them freely and easily. But just for the record, you don’t need to heed this advice. You don’t need to do anything at all unless you want to. But all I know is, that the awakening process has a way of causing all of our ‘unnecessary’ crutches to crumble, and if you don’t free yourself from some of these constraints, often times the universe will do it for you.
The Pathway To Ascension & Aligning With Your Life Purpose
Grounding in this way is actually imperative to moving forward in the ascension process (and coming out the other end of awakening). See, there’s actually a very structured pathway to becoming fully awakened (and transcending those pesky symptoms in the process). It goes a little something like this:
Grounding -> Healing -> Clear intuition -> Aligned with life purpose
That’s the path it takes, and in that order. There is no getting around it. We need to ground in order to reduce our symptoms – to be able to breathe under the pressure of this transformation without anxiety, overwhelm, turbulent emotions or painful empathy clouding the path way. More than that, we need to ground so that we can clearly see whatever issues or symptoms are left over. If the issue clears with proper grounding in place, then its simply a result of being ungrounded. However, if we ground and the issue or symptom persists, then our soul is showing us exactly what we need to heal in order to move forward. Cool, eh?
So then we’re on to healing. We have a clear view of what our soul needs addressed and we need to clear all of the things within ourselves that are not true to who we really are (that’s when life has less drama too).
Once we are sufficiently healed, our intuition is crystal clear, aligned with the light, and an open channel for your higher self, guides or even Creator to pour through. Then, and ONLY then…
We discover and align with our life purpose (our greatest joy). Because unless we are grounded and healed, with clear intuition and a steady connection to source, we cannot fulfill our life purpose because we are simply NOT ready.
The Universe needs to know that you are a grounded, trustworthy, together person. Clear enough to receive wisdom and information without it being tainted by previous issues, and grounded enough to be able to take action to fulfill it in the physical world.
So, can you see how truly vital grounding is. It is not the entire pathway to ascension, or the end of the tunnel, but it is absolutely the first step needed on that pathway to move us towards our goals and dreams. Without it we try straddling two worlds with shaky foundations, wondering why we feel insecure, lost or uncertain.
And, FYI, I’m walking that pathway beside you – every single step of the way. I wont wander off. I’m your wing man, and I take that commitment seriously. But you need to too, and it starts with grounding, so be sure to follow the steps listed above and start actively participating in your awakening, instead of allowing the process to control you.
Ready To Take The First Step?
Here is a quick recap:
Step 1 – Remove energetic stimulants (physical items).
Step 2 – Refrain from any spiritual or healing practice that will affect your energy.
Step 3 – Continue this protocol for at least TWO WEEKS. You will begin to notice a difference within a few days, but two full weeks is necessary to truly and fully ground your energies and bring you into balance – particularly if you have hit a crisis or suffered mental or psychotic episodes as a result of awakening.

I would like to have more information,
for reducing awakening systoms.
Hi Shabina, check out the free course at the bottom of this article, or in the header of each page on our website. It contains all the information you need in order to reduce symptoms 🙂
Thank you so much Kelly for sharing this information & your
Experience. It has really helped me as I had quite a few spiritual
Emergencies & crisis. I saw myself in your healing & understanding
Words. Sending love & light.
Pauline xox
Thank you for this lovely comment Pauline, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately emergencies and crisis are not uncommon during awakening, I hope this article will help others avoid it in future. I’m glad you resonate. Much love to you x
First of all thank you for all your help I listen to all of your advice. And it always helps. I am in the process and have removed all of my crystals and stones but I have rosaries and Virgen de Guadalupe all over my room are they considered something that can affect my energy?
Hi Diana, sorry for the delay. If they are statues or ornaments they shouldn’t affect your energy, but just to be safe I’d consider removing them for a few days, then reintroduce them and see if you feel any different so that you know for sure. Good for you in taking action!! x
Wow! This explains soooo much! Now I know why I have a hard time grounding and why I keep intuiting to put all my crystals away (I have a lot of work to do, as they are spread out in every nook and corner of my house). So grateful to run across this highly resonate info today!
Hey Chrissie, this is awesome! Sounds like your soul already knew what to do 🙂 Keep at it and so glad it resonates with you x
I have been suffering from extreme vertigo since October 2017. I had accupuncture (made it worse), energy work (made it worse), chiropractor adjustments (made it worse), went to ENT for balance tests (made it worse), a visit to the dentist (made it worse with my head back), so now I am avoiding any practioners of any kind to see if it settles down.
Dear lord, thank you so much. I have a question though as I am new to all of this, the symptoms I am having right now are just intense negative emotions that make my heart feel as if it is being pulled out, and I am having headaches. I am at a place where I really am the only person on this path, and thus I am quite alone. It’s scary because I don’t have anyone with me to guide me, I only have the internet. However, my question is that I thought spiritual awakening can only happen when you start meditating. And so if you leave meditating wouldn’t it make your awakening leave you? Months ago, I was going through an awakening however I stopped as it got really frightening. I got normal after a few days but it made me feel like I am going astray and that I cannot progress on a spiritual path without meditating. Can you clearify me on that please?
Hi Saph, awakening is destined to happen to you whether you meditate or not, however meditating and other healing and spiritual practices can trigger it in a more intense way than we are ready for. Awakening will continue BUT if you follow the guidance in this article you can reduce the symptoms so that you can still move forward on your awakening journey in a balanced way. I would avoid meditation entirely at the moment x
I have really been struggling lately between the darkness and the light, triggered by my relationship. I feel so lost I have been doing kundalini yoga and grounding treatments with my healer and also going to my spiritual teacher,but no better. The fear and anxiety have been so overwhelming that I sometimes feel like I cant carry on. Is this all normal? X
First of all, thanks you for discussing the difference between ascension and awakening. I had a deep core spiritual awakening that came out of nowhere and changed my life forever in one instance. When I mentioned this to others that are spiritual, they spoke about their “awakening” which always seemed like it happened over the course of some time. I’m not trying to label either, but I needed to understand this for myself. At times, I feel like I’ve made so much progress on my spiritual journey, and other times a minor judgement I have about someone and I’m in fetal position wondering how I could have done that after all this inner work. Looks like I’ll have to deal with the ups and downs and keep faith that the energy will settle. Also, I went from being the life of the party to super socially awkward. I’m sure this is because of the sensitivity but I do hope i eventually revert back to some semblance of the social skills I had before all this happened.
Thank you so much for your article, it helped immensely ♡
I have had chronic panic attacks & generalised anxiety for over 20 years, I have never felt “normal” in my whole life. Now I often get all the symptoms you listed all at the same time. I rarely even leave the house it’s so bad so am almost a recluse. I can sometimes go out on my bike locally but that’s about it. The worst panic attacks occur when travelling esp in a car but even on buses and trains. It feels like everything is running away with me n I feel dizzy & completely ungrounded & floaty like nothing is quite real & I’m somehow between two worlds. That is a terrifying feeling & I have lost over 20 years of my life because of it. I have been empathic all my life & often feel far too fragile for this life, I’ve wanted to go “home” for more years than I can remember. Please can you help me… I can’t fulfil my life purpose if I am trapped in four walls unable to cope with anything. Doctors therapists medicine… been there done that, if anything it made it worse. No one ever understood, they just treated me like I was crazy. Now I just keep quiet because trying to explain is just too difficult… Please help me Kelly
Hi Jamie, I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a difficult time. It sounds to me like your soul has lots of issues surging to the surface in order to heal and cleanse you. However, this can be really difficult and overwhelming when things continue to rise. I’d encourage you to learn a self healing method like EFT tapping. I went through a very similar experience but in using EFT tapping to heal and clear myself I have managed to be free of these issues and am now fulfilling my purpose. It takes time, but it will make you feel better. Our free course here will teach you how to do EFT tapping and begin healing.
Hi Kelly. I’m in the midst of an awakening. I’ve suffered anxiety & depression for many years. I found yoga a massive help, so much so that I now teach it. I’d be interested in seeing how 2 weeks without it could help (or not). Would you advise giving up the classes I teach during this time?
Hi Rosa, that’s a tough one, particularly if it is your profession, but in the interest of truly giving your energies a break and allowing them to fully ground, yes I would take some time away with a complete disconnect in order to check the results. I think you’ll feel much better – keep us posted on how you get on x
Hi
I am so happy right now that I have come across this page it has really helped me and guided me, I have been really struggling to feeling extremely sensitive and empathic and very overwhelmed with life, I am currently going though the awakening and came out the other end and felt amazing but it is defiantly having it next wave, I was in a bad way last night,and started looking all the bad symptoms and came across this and now my journey makes sense, I can really feel the universe testing me right now and it is making me open up wounds that I thought I had dealt with clearly I have not haha oo and that is hard, losing lots of friends and them not understanding me anymore, let just say you sound pretty crazy when you say it out loud, and it’s extremely lonely right now and hard to find like minded people, but I will come out the other end and be strong enough to handle this world all us can, we are luckily enough to feel true happiness and fulliment at the end of this ride which people are so desperately searching for, wish it wasn’t so dramatic, but thank you so much this has but me in a better place and everything happens for a reason
Hi Sherene, thank you for sharing your experience. Its definitely not easy, and I think that sometimes we are withdrawn from others on purpose to allow us to give our full attention to all of these emotions and issues that we don’t really want to deal with. But I agree, everything happens for a reason and I’m confident that you’re on a very positive track 🙂 Much love to you, Kelly x
Kelly, I’ve been studying Astrology for years & do readings & reg write-ups on Facebook. The prob is I don’t sense what’s happening in others’ lives. I’ve always gotta ask their details & convert to my books to give them info. Will my intuition eventually take over, so that I’ll sense what’s happening with the planets & automatically see how it’s affecting them? I’m having so much trouble focusing on my books, tapping to improve my concentration & memory. Listening is extremely hard, let alone letting it all sink in. Am I trying too hard? Is this telling me to stop? I quit my pharmacy job of 32yrs cos I loved Astrology, but still compare myself & doubt my talents.
Hi Karen, YES absolutely – your intuition will become clearer, more natural and automatic and very trustworthy too. It may not necessarily manifest in being able to sense whats happening with the planets astrologically (our gifts manifest in many different ways, skills and abilities) but it could. Regardless it will come into reliable alignment. If it helps, before I woke up I found using any type of intuition extremely difficult and it often felt blocked. Now my intuition is very clear, automatic and reliable and most importantly – doesn’t require hard work or force – this will come to you too.
As for the challenges you’re having with concentration and memory, this is entirely normal and natural during awakening process. We often become foggy headed, distracted and ditsy because our systems are working VERY hard in the background. Once the changes have taken place all of this will improve. You’re doing great, keep going! xx
Kelly It’s been 9 months since I last wrote to u & my memory, focus & concentration levels still aren’t working well. I looked up this page, wanting to gain more info about my awakening & surprised myself with my letter to u. I didn’t even remember writing this… weird hey?? Some days my mood is fine & other days I’m so jealous of others who are ‘normal’ & don’t have to deal with this. I still have issues with family members who call me ‘a basket case’ I distanced myself from them, but still feel guilty & this stresses me out. I still can’t sleep at night & end up taking pills to rest my mind. Is this ongoing ‘cos I left them? or still don’t believe in going my own direction? Thanks
It all started when I got mad by my ex and cut my hand badly. I thought I was dying but everything went okay. Next thing she told me things that broke me down.. I had a breakdown and decided to follow my dreams. Well, again her, she gave me a bad virus that made me sick and made my chest hurt till now. Everything went okay until I had my first panic attak. I used to read about Carl Jung things, breaking conspiracies and pretty much seeking for the truth since I was younger. 21 now, 6 months anxiety, lost it a while, choose to follow the ego, panic stopped but there was anxiety and sleeping deprivation. Found love so fast, and pretty much everything connects us. Everything was fine, until one day I felt angry at her and slighlty sick and again panicked.. well i’ve red more about that and meditated about two times to get my mind straight.. I’ve experienced all that you wrote and I thought I was going crazy but at the same time..I feel the illumination, and deeply I know I am breaking the matrix in a metaphorical way or non, who knows. I’ve always wondered about our reality and secretly I wanted to know the truth. Have a question too. My higher self and the ego.How can they work together? Have more things to say it won’t be that long you’ll forgive me hehe. My only concern is the chest and back pain.. Stuff nose sometimes which my momma broke. Aaand the thing if I am going mad. Last thing the number 666 is repeating in serious ways. I used to see it quite often when I played a game back in my teenhood and the weird thing. I have it since I was born on my registration born certificate, I am from Bulgaria and it’s called EGN. I have it on my ID number and on my diploma serial number. I was always sensitive and couple of things made me be on a negative pattern of thinking and now a of this. I would be thankful for a reply.
Hi George, I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a difficult time, but I’m glad to know that you’ve experienced the link between meditating during awakening and feeling much worse – on the bright side you’ll be able to avoid this or at least have the choice whether to do it or not. It sounds like you have a lot of emotions surging up to the surface in order to be healed. This is natural and a good thing, but you might want to take a look at our free self healing course which I’ll attach below for you – it will help you to clear these emotions when they come up.
You’re not going mad – its normal and common to see number signs very frequently during awakening – I see them all the time. Try looking for the ‘angel number 666’ on google – it most likely has a message for you x
Hi My name is Yari and I think I am also going through the ascension process. I have been having horrible panic attacks and chest pain that feels like heat going through my chest & feelings of disorientation. I have been to the ER and Urgent Care because I thought something more serious was happening. I see a lot of repeating numbers and have also had feelings of nausea. I don’t know what to do anymore and have been having a hard time. What do you suggest I do?
Hi Yari, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having such a horrible time. The best advice I can give is to follow the guidance in this article. Remove all spiritual and energetic stimulants and I would be inclined to keep them out for quite some time until you really feel much better. Remove absolutely everything you can and things should improve, but it will likely take a few weeks. Also, well done for taking good care of your physical health – not everyone manages to do that during awakening and its just as important as the spiritual stuff. Much love to you, Kelly x
Amazing blog, Thanks for guide us..
🙂 Thanks for reading x
This is the best information I have found. It makes so much sense to me. Thank you 🙏🏻 x
So glad you’ve found it helpful 🙂 Kelly x
Thanks Kelly! I dont often use essential oils, and I dont think I’ve ever purposefully used crystals. As odd as it sounds, my big thing to help with psychic connections and finding my true self was alcohol. I noticed a lot of the stuff you mentioned lined up with my life, but I didn’t accept it. I recently had my lip pierced and was supposed to go 1 month without alcohol while it was healing and I didnt even go a week. I’ve been in the process of finding a way to get me to stay sober, accept that consequences of my actions, and learn how to handle my own problems. I’m in between stages 1 and 2 right now and its hitting me hard. However, my “other self” has been trying to motivate me to get better and has even said some harsh words to try to get me back on track. I’m hoping that listening to your words of wisdom and having “her” bugging me about staying on my righteous path, I’ll be able to stabilize and work my way through.
Hi Aubrey, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been facing this challenge, but often these are exactly the type of issues that come up to test us during awakening. Its good that you’re having this awareness and I’m sending much love to you on your awakening journey x
Thankyou for a wonderful article, I will certainly be reading more of your advice. I’ve just taken down the crystals I have in my windows. I had them in every window so i could have rainbows everywhere lol, especially in the mornings when I 1st woke up. Rainbows have actually been one of my triggers, but I hadn’t made the connection until I read your article. Obviously my soul knew this because I’ve been reluctant to open my curtains for the last few weeks.
So thankyou for this and all your advice, and thankyou for taking the time to share your knowledge and wisdom with us and helping make our ‘journeys’ that little bit easier.
Its my pleasure Carole – its my greatest joy and passion to do this work. Yes it definitely sounds like your soul intuitively knew that there was an issue with them. Much love to you xx
Thank you for sharing your article and knowledge Kerry. It’s been very helpful and making complete sense with what I’m experiencing. I’m looking forward to learning more from you xx
Thank you Michelle 🙂 xx
So basicly at the stage 2, all that overwhelming stuff shattering me when Im, say, watching a movie is something triggering me of a past life that I have to deal with having no clue it even exists? Thats encouraging D:
Hi Eric, technically yes – the Universe will use many things throughout all of your life experience in order to purge and heal you. It may feel a bit frustrating, but once these things get acknowledged and released they are gone for good, and you are more aligned with your authentic self and essentially, pain free. Tough, but very deeply rewarding… eventually lol 🙂
Dear Kelly,
Thank you very much for this. It is
So helpful for my journey.
As recently mentioned in your FB group, I’ve come out of my psychosis and don’t hear an audible voice in my head anymore. I am feeling calmer now. Sometimes low in energy, but otherwise mostly calm. Do you still recommend the step where I move away crystals and oils? I also mix a bunch of oils for my head, as I usually oil my head before shampooing and it has helped in my hair strength and growth recently (it has been falling a lot).
I also resonate with the part where you say about fulfilling life purpose – as it seems like now I’m proceeding into a stage where I engage with fitness personal training activities as I love to help people in health and fitness.
Please advise about the crystals and oils.
Much love,
Noor
Hi Noor, I’m delighted to hear you’ve found this helpful. Yes, I would still recommend staying away from it for a while and I’d avoid putting oils on your head (or at least testing taking a break from it for a while) as this will open your crown chakra further and will open your energy up way too much. Try taking a break and see if that helps. You will definitely be moving into life purpose work – even if you’re still moving through awakening. That is a good sign and a positive thing for you 🙂
Wow!! Just what I needed and right on time! Thank you for the work that you do.
