What it Means to be Awakened

Worldwide Spiritual Awakening

This is a time of spiritual awakening unlike any before. Many people are no longer satisfied with what is seen as "normal life". What used to work does not any longer. World-wide, there are people consciously connecting with a Higher Source, angels and spirit. Things simply cannot remain the same. I'm going to share with you what it means to be awakened spiritually.

It has become intolerable to live in oblivion about what is, and is not, happening around us. We know that is something more than what we have been led to believe and accept as living life in human form.

Spiritual awakenings are unique for each of us. The question is, how do you know if you are in the midst of one?

What is a Spiritual Awakening?

This is when your view and experience of life shifts dramatically. It is similar to the difference between sleeping and being awake. Before your awakening you were living on autopilot. Afterward, you are more in control of your life.

This can happen suddenly, or gradually. It comes down to an awareness that there is more to being alive than what you have been doing. It is often accompanied by an inner push to change your life or get it back on track. When a person has an awakening, they will often pursue what they believe is their life purpose.

What Spiritual Awakenings are Like

In my opinion there are two types. They are:

1. Gradual- This will feel like a gentle nudge to change the way you live. These nudges can be about health, repeating cycles, challenges, people, relationships, careers and more. This can show up as signs from your angels. 

2. Grand- This is a big wake-up call. It happens suddenly and powerfully. You may have a major realization about things that need to change in your life and feel compelled to do it right away. You could begin hearing and seeing Celestial and supernatural things. I had this happen to me in 1984 and it felt like my life quickly turned inside out and upside down. On the other side of that were fantastic changes though.

Causes of Spiritual Awakening

I'm not sure that we can cause a spiritual awakening. But I have seen that it can happen to wake you up to important situations like getting out of a toxic relationship or leaving a job to pursue a career you find fulfilling.

There is a higher call behind an awakening. You may have wanted it to happen, but it could not unless it was meant to.

Benefits

You are not limited to one. As you awaken, you will discover new aspects of yourself and your purpose.

I have had a few awakenings in my life, so far. They happen when they are supposed to. For example, until I was over 50, I was not allowed to understand that me seeing angels and spirit all my life meant that I am a medium. My angels say that I was not meant to know until that time. It came to me like an epiphany.

Having a spiritual awakening can make your life easier. The more aware you become of who you are and the gifts you have, the easier it is to navigate challenges, see opportunities and allow yourself to shift into the next phase of your life.
