Are You Having a Spiritual Awakening? Here’s How to Tell and What to Do

I stumbled upon energy healing and after my first session, my Reiki healer, Kati Ackerman, made me aware I had an “entity” attached to me, (confirmed by an acupuncturist a week later), and after having to remove it, my whole world was turned upside down. I was seeing spirits, had to have that entity removed (twice), met my spirit guides, got very strong psychic visions, and honestly thought I was going mad. But then, I remembered I’d actually seen a lot of this as a child and blocked it out. Over the last three years however, I’ve learned the tools and techniques you need, to not feel like you’ve lost your mind.

To be honest, no one specific thing causes a spiritual awakening, it’s different for everyone. One thing I do know? It’s not love and light. It is facing and healing what hurt you. It’s a lot of crying, feeling alone, being scared, and eventually, coming back to yourself. It could be a life-changing event, a personal crisis, a transformative experience or even a simple conversation that makes you question everything you thought you knew. It could also be a combination of things such as therapy, meditation, yoga, or even a new hobby. But one thing’s for sure, it’s always a journey within yourself that leads to the realization of your true purpose and connection to the universe. And ultimately, it’s the beginning of your spiritual journey and peeling back the layers until you feel aligned with yourself and your place in the world.

What are the signs you’re going through a spiritual awakening?

Some symptoms of awakening can include changes in hermit mode (trying to figure out what the hell is happening), energy levels, emotional ups and downs, and heightened sensitivity to your surroundings. You might also experience physical symptoms like headaches and fatigue. These do pass and are part of the process.

Remember, you’re on a journey to self-discovery and you need all the guidance you can get. You can start by connecting to your spirit guides, they are always around you, ready to help you. You can also reach out to tarot readers, astrologers, or any other spiritual practitioner that resonates with you. They can provide valuable insight and guidance on your journey.
