A spiritual awakening is an experience where you become so exhausted, so deep in your own suffering, that you begin to wake up.
Wake up to the reality that you are more than a meaningless creation of flesh. That you have a soul. That you desire actual connections. That who you think you are (the egos belief) isn’t who you actually are.
During my awakening I was physically + mentally broken. I couldn’t get out of bed. I started fainting. I lost faith + felt burnt out as a therapist. I wondered what life even was. And at my lowest point, I wanted to run. Move to another country. And hide.
I didn’t know what was happening in the moment, but I was going through a massive spiritual transformation. It felt like death. I’m sure I would have been diagnosed with depression, or anxiety, or anything else ones diagnosed with when they feel broken.
But it is not brokenness. It’s the beginning of awakening It’s an expanding of consciousness where you understand the inner world reflects outwards. Where your triggers are teachers showing you what needs healing. Where you understand your ego is constantly creating stories to keep you repeating an idea of who you are. An idea given to you in your earliest years. An idea that isn’t reality.
I share my experience now because we have a very limited view around what’s “normal” + what is “abnormal.” We have a limited view on our experiences + don’t have people to share that there’s more going on + what we are experiencing has a purpose.
So here goes: if this is happening to you, you’re normal. Very normal. I understand it’s scary. I fully understand people don’t “get” it. I even understand some people will mock it. Or diagnose it. And that’s for them to choose.
What’s for you to choose is the meaning you assign to it. My own awakening me an opportunity to shift my entire life. After the fear + devastation (and commitment to doing the work) I met myself. I’m still meeting myself. You’re meeting yourself too. And that’s a scary + brave thing.
A thing most people don’t do in an entire lifetime.
