How
Many of These 51 Spiritual Awakening Symptoms do YOU Have?
How many of these 51 spiritual awakening symptoms do YOU
have? Quiz yourself and your friends HERE!
by Annarita
- Changing sleep patterns:
restlessness, hot feet, waking up two or three times a night.
Feeling
tired after you wake up and sleepy off and on during the day. There is
something called the Triad Sleep Pattern that occurs for many: you
sleep for about 2-3 hours, wake up, go back to sleep for another couple
of hours, wake again, and go back to sleep again. For others, the sleep
requirements have changed. You can get by on less sleep. Lately I have
been experiencing huge waves of energy running into my body from the
crown. It feels good, but it keeps me awake for a long time, then
subsides. Advice: Get used to it. Make peace with it and don't worry
about getting enough sleep (which often causes more insomnia). You will
be able to make it through the day if you hold thoughts of getting just
what you need. You can also request your Higher Self to give you a
break now and then and give you a good, deep night's sleep. If you
can't go back to sleep right away, use the waking moments to meditate,
read poetry, write in your journal or look at the moon. Your body will
adjust to the new pattern.
- Activity
at the crown of the head: Tingling, itching, prickly, crawling
sensations along the scalp and/or down the spine.
A sense of energy vibrating on top of the head, as if energy is
erupting from the head in a shower. Also the sensation of energy
pouring in through the crown, described as "sprinkles". This may also
be experienced as pressure on the crown, as if someone is pushing
his/her finger into the center of your head. As I mentioned in #1, I
have been experiencing huge downloads of energy through the crown. In
the past, I have felt more generalized pressure, as if my head is in a
gentle vise. One man related that his hair stood on end and his body
was covered with goosebumps.
Advice: This is nothing to be alarmed
about. What you are experiencing is an opening of the crown chakra. The
sensations mean that you are opening up to receive divine energy.
- Sudden
waves of emotion.
Crying at the drop of a hat. Feeling suddenly angry or sad with little
provocation. Or inexplicably depressed. Then very happy. Emotional
roller coaster. There is often a pressure or sense of emotions
congested in the heart chakra (the middle of the chest). This is not to
be confused with the heart, which is located to the left of the heart
chakra.
Advice: Accept your feelings as they come up and let them go.
Go directly to your heart chakra and feel the emotion. Expand it
outward to your all your fields and breathe deeply from the belly all
the way up to your upper chest. Just feel the feeling and let it
evaporate on its own. Don't direct the emotions at anyone. You are
cleaning out your past. If you want some help with this, say out loud
that you intend to release all these old issues and ask your Higher
Power to help you. You can also ask Grace Elohim to help you release
with ease and gentleness. Be grateful that your body is releasing these
emotions and not holding onto them inside where they can do harm. One
source suggests that depression is linked to letting go of
relationships to people, work, etc. that no longer match us and our
frequencies. When we feel guilty about letting go of these
relationships, depression helps us medicate that pain.
- Old
"stuff" seems to be coming up, as described above, and the people with
whom you need to work it out (or their clones) appear in your life.
Completion issues. Or perhaps you need to work through issues of
self-worth, abundance, creativity, addictions, etc. The resources or
people you need to help you move through these issues start to appear.
Advice: Same as #3. Additionally, don't get too involved in analyzing
these issues. Examining them too much will simply cycle you back
through them over and over again at deeper and deeper levels. Get
professional help if you need to and walk through it. Do not try to
avoid them or disassociate yourself from them. Embrace whatever comes
up and thank it for helping you move ahead. Thank your Higher Power for
giving you the opportunity to release these issues. Remember, you don't
want these issues to stay stuck in your body.
- Changes
in weight.
The weight gain in the US population is phenomenal. Other people may be
losing weight. We often gain weight because many fears we have
suppressed are now coming up to the surface to be healed. We react by
building up a defense. We also attempt to ground ourselves or provide
bulk against increasing frequencies in our bodies.
Advice: Don't freak
out, but just accept it as a symptom of where you are right now. You
will release/gain the weight when all your fears have been integrated.
Release your anxiety about this. Then you might find it easier to
lose/gain the weight eventually. Exercise. Before eating, try this: Sit
at the table with an attractive place setting. Light a candle. Enjoy
how the food looks. Place your dominant hand over your heart and bless
the food. Tell your body that you are going to use the food to richly
nourish it, but that you are not going to use the food to fulfill your
emotional hungers. Then pass your hand from left to right over the food
and bless it. You may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even
if the food is cold-- I like to think that the food is good for me when
it feels warm and nourishing to my hand. I have also noticed that when
I practice blessing the food, I don't eat as much. It is important not
to let yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before
you eat. If I've forgotten and I've nearly finished eating, I bless the
food anyway. That way I don't slip out of the habit. Another thing you
can do is to stay present while eating -- don't watch TV or read.
Heartily enjoy what blessings are before you.
- Changes
in eating habits: Strange cravings and odd food choices.
Some find they are not as hungry as they used to be. Or hungrier.
Advice: Don't deny what your body tells you it needs. If you are not
sure, you might try muscle-testing before you chose a food to see if
it's what your body wants. Also try blessing the food as described in
#5.
- Food
intolerances, allergies you never had before.
As you grow more spiritual, you are more sensitive to everything around
you. Your body will tell you what it can no longer tolerate, as if it,
too, is sloughing off what doesn't serve it anymore. You might be
cleansing yourself of toxins. Some people find they often have a white
residue in their mouth, much like that of runners at the end of a race.
Advice: An acupuncturist told me that this film can be removed by
sloshing 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil in your mouth for
10-15 minutes (don't swallow, whatever you do), then spitting it out
into the toilet -- not the sink, for you just removed toxins from your
body and don't want them in the sink. Brush your teeth and do the same.
Then clean your brush. (Sorry this is yukky, but it works.)
- Amplification
of the senses.
Increased sensitivity.
8a. Sight: Blurry vision, shimmering objects, seeing glittery particles, auras
around people, plants, animals, and objects. Some report seeing
formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close your eyes, you
no longer see darkness, but redness. You may also see geometric shapes
or brilliant colors and pictures when eyes are closed. Colors appear
more vivid -- the sky might look teal or the grass an amazing green.
Often I see grids running across the ground. As you become more
sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the air, especially when
the room is almost dark. When your eyes are open or closed, you may see
white shapes in your peripheral vision (these are your guides).
Advice:
Your vision is changing in many ways -- you are experiencing new ways
of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid. Hazy vision
maybe relieved by yawning.
8b. Hearing: Increased or decreased hearing. I once thought I would have to pull off
the road because of the painfully amplified sound of my tires on the
freeway. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the head, beeps,
tones, music or electronic patterns. Some hear water rushing, bees
buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what is called
audio dyslexia-- you can't always make out what people are saying, as
if you can no longer translate your own language. Some hear strange
voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering near them. You can
either ask the presence(s) to leave or ask Archangel Michael to take
care of the situation. Again, there is nothing to fear.
Advice:
Surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are adjusting
to new frequencies.
8c. Enhanced
senses of smell, touch, and/or taste. I notice I can now smell and taste chemical additives in some foods in
a rather unpleasant manner. Other food may taste absolutely wonderful.
For some people, these enhancements are both delightful and
distracting. You might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and
then. Many of the mystics did. Enjoy it.
- Skin
eruptions:
Rashes, bumps, acne, hives, and shingles. Anger produces outbreaks
around the mouth and chin. I had a dermatitis on my extremities for
several months that accompanied healing an episode from my past. When I
had worked through most of the issue, the condition was released.
Advice: You may
be sloughing off toxins and bringing emotions to the surface. When
there is an issue to be released and you are trying to repress it, your
skin will express the issue for you until you process the emotions.
Work through your "stuff".
- Episodes
of intense energy which make you want to leap out of bed and into
action.
Followed by periods of lethargy and fatigue. The fatigue usually
follows great shifts. This is a time of integration, so give into it.
Advice: Roll with the nature of the energy. Don't fight it. Be gentle
with yourself. Take naps if you are tired. Write your novel if you are
too energized to sleep. Take advantage of the type of energy.
- Changes
in prayer or meditation.
Not feeling the same sensations as before. Not having the same
experience of being in contact with Spirit. Difficulty in focusing.
Advice: You may be in more instant and constant communion with Spirit
now and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this
new feeling. You are actually thinking and acting in partnership with
Spirit most of the time now. You may find your meditation periods
shorter.
- Power
surges:
All of a sudden you are heated from head to toe. It is a momentary
sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people have felt
inexplicably cold. I have experienced both. More recently I experience
waves or currents of energy rolling through me. Sometimes the energy
seems so intense when it first comes into my body that I feel a little
nauseated. But if I think of the energy as divine and let go of fear, I
feel wonderful and enjoy the sensation. If you are an energy worker,
you may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has
increased tremendously. This is good.
Advice: If you are uncomfortable,
ask your Higher Power, that if it be for your best and highest good, to
turn down/up the temperature a bit.
- A range
of physical manifestations:
Headaches, backaches, neck pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called
vibrational flu), digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing
heartbeat, chest pains, changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in
the limbs, and involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements. Some of
us have even had old conditions from childhood reappear briefly for
healing.
Advice: Remember what I said about seeking medical help if you
need it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition,
relax in the realization that it is only temporary.
- Looking
younger.
Yippee! As you clear emotional issues and release limiting beliefs and
heavy baggage from the past, you are actually lighter. Your frequency
is higher. You love yourself and life more. You begin to resemble the
perfect you that you really are.
- Vivid
dreams.
Sometimes the dreams are so real that you wake up confused. You may
even have lucid dreams in which you are in control. Many dreams may be
mystical or carry messages for you. And in some dreams, you just know
that you are not "dreaming" -- that what is happening is somehow real.
Advice: You will
remember what is important for you to remember. Don't force anything.
Above all, stay out of fear.
- Events
that completely alter your life:
death, divorce, change in job status, loss of home, illness, and/or
other catastrophes -- sometimes several at once! Forces that cause you
to slow down, simplify, change, re-examine who you are and what your
life means to you. Forces that you cannot ignore. Forces that cause you
release your attachments. Forces that awaken your sense of love and
compassion for all.
- A
desire to break free from restrictive patterns, life-draining jobs
consumptive lifestyles, and toxic people or situations.
You feel a compelling need to "find yourself" and your life purpose --
now! You want to be creative and free to be who you really are. You
might find yourself drawn to the arts and nature. You want to unclutter
yourself from things and people that no longer serve you.
Advice: Do it!
- Emotional
and mental confusion:
A feeling that you need to get your life straightened out--it feels
like a mess. But at the same time you feel chaotic and unable to focus.
See #45.
Advice:
Put your ear to your heart and your own discernment will follow.
- Introspection,
solitude and loss of interest in more extroverted activities:
This stage has come as a surprise to many extraverts who formerly saw
themselves as outgoing and involved. They say, "I don't know why, but I
don't like to go out as much as before."
- Creativity
bursts:
Receiving images, ideas, music, and other creative inspirations at an
often overwhelming rate.
Advice: At least record these inspirations,
for Spirit is speaking to you about how you might fulfill your purpose
and contribute to the healing of the planet.
- A
perception that time is accelerating.
It
seems that way because you have had so many changes introduced into
your life at an unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be
growing.
Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time
segments increases the sense of acceleration .You can slow time down by
relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what's at
hand, not anticipating what's ahead. Slow down and tell yourself that
you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power to help you. Keep your
focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next. Stay
tuned to your inner guidance. You can also warp time by asking for it.
Next time you feel rushed, say, "Time warp, please. I need some more
time to -----." Then relax.
- A sense
of impendingness.
There is a feeling that something is about to happen. This can create
anxiety.
Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely
happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your
thoughts -- positive or negative-- are prayers. There is nothing to
fear.
- Impatience.
You know better, but sometimes you can't help it. You want to get on
with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is not comfortable.
Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing that nothing comes
to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a lack of trust,
especially trust in your Higher Power. When you focus on the present,
you will experience miracles -- yes, even in traffic.
- A deep
yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and revelation.
Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in your life.
"Constant craving", as k.d. lang says. The material world cannot
fulfill this longing.
Advice: Follow your heart and the way will open
up for you.
- A
feeling that you are somehow different.
A disquieting sense that everything in your life feels new and altered,
that you have left your old self behind. You have. You are much greater
than you can possibly imagine. There is more to come.
- "Teachers"
appear everywhere with perfect timing to help you on your spiritual
journey:
people, books, movies, events, Mother Nature, etc. Teachers may appear
to be negative or positive when you are trapped in polarity thinking,
but, from a transcendent perspective, they are always perfect. Just
what you need to learn from and move on. By the way, we never get more
than we are ready to master. Each challenge presents us with an
opportunity to show our mastery in passing through it.
- You
find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and "speaks to you" at
the most profound levels.
Suddenly you are gaining a perspective that you would never have
considered before. You hunger to know more. You read, share with
others, ask questions, and go inside to discover more about who you are
and why you are here.
- You are
moving through learning and personal issues at a rapid pace.
You sense that you are "getting it" quite readily.
Advice: Keep
remembering that things will come to you when they are ready to be
healed. Not sooner. Deal with whatever comes up with courage and you
will move through the issues rapidly.
- Invisible
presences.
Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report feeling surrounded by
beings at night or having the sensation of being touched or talked to.
Often they will wake with a start. Some also feel their body orbed
vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic changes after emotional
clearing has taken place.
Advice: This is a sensitive topic, but you
may feel better blessing your bed and space around it before you sleep.
I rest assured that I am surrounded only by the most magnificent
spiritual entities and am always safe in God's care. Sometimes,
however, the fear gets to me, and I call in Archangel Michael and/or
Archangel Uriel. I don't beat myself up for being afraid sometimes. I
forgive myself for not always sovereign at 3:00 a.m.
- Portents,
visions, "illusions", numbers, and symbols:
Seeing things that have
spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers appear
synchronistically in your awareness. Everything has a message if you
take the time to look. I enjoy the experience of "getting the
messages." What fun!
- Increased
integrity:
You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth. It
suddenly seems important for you to become more authentic, more
yourself. You may have to say "no" to people whom you have tried to
please in the past. You may find it intolerable to stay in a marriage
or job or place that doesn't support who you are. You may also find
there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep anymore. Honesty becomes
important in all your relationships.
Advice: Listen to your heart. If
your guidance tells you not to do something, speak up and take action.
Say "no". Likewise, you must also say "yes" to that which compels you.
You must risk displeasing others without guilt in order to attain
spiritual sovereignty.
- Harmony
with seasons and cycles:
You are becoming more tuned to the seasons, the phases of the moon and
natural cycles. More awareness of your place in the natural world. A
stronger connection to the earth.
- Electrical
and mechanical malfunctions:
When you are around, lightbulbs flicker, the computer locks up, or the
radio goes haywire.
Advice: Call on your angels, guides, or Grace
Elohim to fix it or put up a field of protection of light around the
machine. Surround your car with bluelight. Laugh.
- Increased
synchronicity and many small miracles.
Look for more of these.
Advice:
Synchronistic events tell you if you are heading in the right direction
or making the correct choices. Honor these clues and you cannot go
astray. Spirit uses synchronicity to communicate to you. That's when
you begin to experience daily miracles. See #30.
- Increased
intuitive abilities and altered states of consciousness:
Thinking of someone and immediately hearing from them. More
synchronicities. Having sudden insights about patterns or events from
the past. Clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic
phenomena. Intensified sensitivity and knowing. Awareness of one's
essence and that of others. Channeling angelic and Christ-consciousness
energies.
- Communication
with Spirit.
Contact with angels, spirit guides, and other divine entities.
Channeling. More and more people seem to be given this opportunity.
Feeling inspiration and downloading information that takes form as
writing, painting, ideas, communications, dance, etc.
- A sense
of Oneness with all.
A direct experience of this Wholeness. Transcendent awareness. Being
flooded with compassion and love for all life. Compassionate detachment
or unconditional love for all is what lifts us up to higher levels of
consciousness and joy.
- Moments
of joy and bliss.
A deep abiding sense of peace and knowing that you are never alone.
- Integration:
You become emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spiritually
stronger and clearer. You feel as if you are in alignment with your
Higher Self.
- Living
your purpose:
You know you are finally doing what you came to earth for. New skills
and gifts are emerging, especially healing ones. Your life/work
experiences are now converging and starting to make sense. You are
finally going to use them all.
Advice: Listen to your heart. Your
passion leads you to where you must go. Go within and ask your Higher
Self, "What is it you would have me do?" Watch for synchronicities.
Listen.
- Feeling
closer to animals and plants.
To some people, animals now seem to be more "human" in their behavior.
Wild animals are less afraid. Plants respond to your love and attention
more than ever. Some may even have messages for you.
- Seeing
beings of other dimensions.
The veil between dimensions is thinner, so it is not surprising. Just
stay in your sovereignty. You are more powerful than you can ever
imagine, so do not entertain fear. Ask your guides for help if you slip
into fear.
- Seeing
a person's true form or seeing loved ones with a different face -- past life or parallel life.
- Physically
manifesting thoughts and desires more quickly and efficiently.
Advice:
Monitor your thoughts. All thoughts are prayers. Be careful what you
ask for.
- Left
-brain fogginess.
Your psychic abilities, your intuitive knowing, your feeling and
compassion, your ability to experience your body, your visioning, your
expressiveness all emanate from the right brain. In order for this side
of the brain to develop more fully, the left brain must shut down a
little bit. Normally the left-hemisphere's capacity for order,
organization, structure, linear sequencing, analysis, evaluation,
precision, focus, problem-solving, and mathematics dominate our often
less-valued right brain. What results are memory lapses, placing words
in the wrong sequence, inability or no desire to read for very long,
inability to focus; forgetting what you are just about to say;
impatience with linear forms of communication (audio or written
formats); a feeling of spaciness, being scattered; losing interesting
research or complex information; feeling bombarded with words and talk
and information; and a reluctance to write. Sometimes you feel dull and
have no interest in analysis, lively intellectual discussion, or
investigation. On the other hand, you might find yourself drawn to the
sensate: videos, magazines with photos, beautiful artwork, movies,
music, sculpting, painting, being with people, dancing, gardening,
walking, and other kinesthetic forms of expression. You may search for
spiritual content, even science fiction.
Advice: You may discover that
if you allow your heart and your right brain to lead you, the left will
then be activated appropriately to support you. And someday we will be
well-balanced, using both hemispheres with mastery.
- Dizziness.
This occurs when you are ungrounded. Perhaps you have just cleared a
big emotional issue and your body is adjusting to your "lighter" state.
Advice: Ground yourself by eating protein. Sometimes "comfort food"
feels right. Don't make any food right or wrong for you. Use your
guidance to know what you need at any given moment. Take your shoes off
and put your feet in the grass for a couple of minutes.
- Falling,
having accidents, breaking bones.
Your body is not grounded or perhaps your life is out of balance. Or
your body may be telling you to slow down, examine certain aspects of
your life, or heal certain issues. There is always a message. When I
recently broke my ankle, I understand that my ankle was taking on what
I myself refused to deal with. And that was all of the above.
Advice:
Stay grounded by taking your shoes off and putting your feet in the
grass; even better, lie down on the grass without a blanket under you.
Feel the earth beneath you. Get out in nature. Slow down and pay
attention. Be mindful about what you are doing. Feel your feelings when
they come up. Stay in the present. Surround yourself with blue light
when you are feeling shaky.
- Heart
palpitations.
A racing heart usually accompanies a heart opening. It only lasts for a
few moments and means that the heart is re-balancing itself after an
emotional release. I had one episode that terrified me: I woke up in
the middle of the night, my heart pounding. I thought it was going to
come right out of my chest. It only happened once and was, I
understand, a huge heart-chakra opening. But I did check it out. There
is nothing wrong with my heart.
Advice: Remember what I said about
getting medical attention when needed. Consult your doctor about any
conditions you are not comfortable with.
- Faster
hair and nail growth.
More protein is being used in the body. Too bad we can't tell the body
where to grow the hair and where not to grow it. (Or can we? Hmmm.)
- A
desire to find your soulmate or twin flame.
More than ever before, the idea that we can have a relationship that
matches who we are seems more desirable.
Advice: The truth is, we have
to be the kind of person we want to attract. We have to love ourselves
and where we are right now before we can attract a more "perfect" mate.
The work begins at home. Here is how I think it works: Hold the desire
for this person in your heart, but without attachment. Expect that
someday you will meet someone who is more suited to you, but let go of
any expectations as to who this will be and how it will happen. Focus
instead on cleaning up your own life and being the kind of person you
want to be. Be happy now. Enjoy your life. Then you may see.....
- Memories
surface.
Body memories, suppressed memories, images of past lives and/or
parallel lives. We are healing and integrating all our "selves", so
expect to have some of these experiences.
Advice. Keep in mind that it
is best to recall what only what comes to mind, leave the rest alone,
don't analyze everything to death (because you will be stuck in the
tape loop of infinite issues to process), and feel your feelings as
they come up. Ask for help from your guides.
