If you're seeing things differently today than you did a year ago, experiencing lots of synchronicities, this could be a wake-up call from The Spirit World. 

Spiritual awakenings tend to happen in cycles of every seven to eight years, and they usually include lots of new insights and connections being made, all at once. 

Wondering if you're experiencing is a spiritual awakening? Or just another, wild and exciting time in your life where lots of truths are revealed? 

Maybe it's the first, perhaps it's the latter, and perhaps it's both.

When I was going through an experience that what I now know was a spiritual awakening around ten years ago, I felt like the world was falling apart.

My beliefs were changing, I quit my job, and I left my living situation.

I sold everything I owned, walked out of my house, and moved across the country with my dog.

While a spiritual awakening can be a lovely, fantastical, and full of love and light experience, the beginning of a spiritual awakening is not necessarily always that pleasant.

Sometimes it is, but it can also result in a series of experiences that cause you to question the nature of reality. It's up to you how you take it in and emote about it. 

To unearth the beautiful jewel that you are, shine all the light you have within you, discover your soul’s path and live in more vibrancy and light.

You may first have to get rid of everything that has prevented you from getting there.

In this process, you may separate from others, evaluate everything, purge things in your energy field, or even circumstances from your life. 

If this is happening, you’re not alone. Many others have also experienced or are in the process of undergoing an awakening.

Probably several, right at this moment. 

So, want to know if you’re having one?

Below is a list of some tell-tale signs you’re embarking on a grand journey of discovery, known as a spiritual awakening process -

What is a spiritual awakening?

A spiritual awakening is simply an opening of your level of connection and love for the universe and your soul's desire wanting to gravitate towards these things. 

While a spiritual awakening usually happens over a year, it can take up to seven years to integrate into your physical life.

All of the new awarenesses gained when you have one, get brought into your life piece by piece, so have patience as you open to gradual changes and shifts. 

And, now, you may be asking, what is the purpose of this?

It may mean you:

  • Walk a more spiritual path

  • Align yourself with your true passions

  • Become more loving and compassionate

  • Connect with those in Spirit more easily

  • Experience heightened levels of joy and happiness

  • Surrounding yourself with others who are opening to similar vibrations

  • Develop your intuitive abilities

Some would say that you’re always awakening – that this life is a journey of unfolding, realizations, and opening continues on as long as your soul exists.

A spiritual awakening means the light and beauty of your soul is unearthing, and this tends to happen during concentrated times of growth.

When it happens, you are beginning to share more of your true nature, light, and beauty with the world around you.

And you will be gravitating towards other experiences and situations that honor this. 

Spiritual awakenings can happen with couples, or they can happen solo. Sometimes one person takes a whole soul group up with them when they awaken.

So, spiritual awakenings don't always occur alone, but they are usually experienced differently by all. 

Having patience with yourself and others when you go through them is one of the most essential parts. Since a spiritual awakening is actually a shedding process, and it can happen more than once in a lifetime but usually they’re good and life improves after.
