Spiritual awakening is as unique as every person on Earth. It can be spontaneous or it can take months. Sometimes years. It can get triggered by seemingly nothing or big, even traumatic life events.
I have been into spirituality for about a decade before the “big one”. I got laid off back in 2023 and at the time I had no idea I was in for quite the ride that lasted months. My spiritual awakening has changed the way I see myself, the world, and life as a whole.
Here’s how this incredible spiritual and emotional rollercoaster changed in my life:
1. No more food addiction
I have struggled with overeating, binge eating, and emotional eating for years! I tried diets, exercise, lifestyle changes, etc. I was morbidly obese. I managed to lose a huge amount of weight in the past using some yucky natural herbs and changing my diet, but the emotional issues, the need and desire to eat certain junk food, never truly went away. So I gained some of the weight back. Then went on to lose it. Then gained again. It was never-ending! Only when I raised my vibration, I was finally free from the need to eat a lot of junk. And it happened instantly! Yes. INSTANTLY!
2. No more shopping addiction
Shopping was another unhealthy vice of mine. I would spend hours browsing all sorts of online stores looking for things to buy. Somewhere along the way I discovered minimalism, but that was just another bandaid. I would clear out my closet, cabinets, and drawers but they would get filled up again. The root cause of my desire to shop was somewhere deep inside me, waiting to be released. I was trying to fill a void with stuff just like I was trying to drown my emotions with food. Again, raising my vibration removed the desire to search for things to buy.
3. Valuable lessons about money and my finances
I was earning a decent salary before I got laid off, but I was living paycheck to paycheck. I could have easily saved a good amount and invested somewhere. This whole journey made me take a long and hard look at how I was spending my money, where those habits came from, what beliefs I had about finances, etc. I had to admit I had a shopping addiction and I was buying things I didn’t need or even use, which was ruining my finances! Then, I had to rethink the whole idea of a mortgage, buying a brand-new car, and then paying for it monthly. But what was done, was done. However, spiritual awakening brought a new understanding of money and finances, and the ability to make conscious decisions to build a life where money is never an issue.
4. Endless possibilities and freedom
Somehow I have come to believe that I had to live and be a certain way. Fit in. Spiritual awakening made me realize that I am limitless! I could make the wildest decisions (in society’s view anyway) and transform my life completely. At any given moment! My ego wanted to stay in control, but the longer I allowed it to run the show, the longer I felt stuck and locked away. It was always up to me to be free!
5. No more attachments to certain things
Letting go and trusting are some of the most difficult things, especially during challenging life circumstances. That’s why spiritual awakening was such a rollercoaster for me. A tug-o-war if you will! Between parts of my old identity and my true self, each trying to pull me in their direction. At some point, I felt like I was grieving. I was sad. I cried many times! But in the end, I realized that nothing I had was that important. I didn’t care if all the things I had went away. Even my home. And that was liberating.
6. Immense joy and happiness
I have experienced the lows of the lows during my spiritual awakening, but I have also experienced the highs of the highs! Both ends of the spectrum have taught me incredible lessons. Of course, the joy and happiness I felt were through the roof. I honestly don’t remember ever feeling anything like it before. Not in this lifetime! I spent years walking through life asleep. I remember once realizing that I had not experienced joy in years! But this is also a lesson about perspective. Joy and happiness are possible no matter what because they are inside us all.
7. I am God, I am the Creator
A realization hit me one day after coming across a video on YouTube talking about manifestation and how it actually works. I am the Creator of my reality. I am that I am. I am God! And so is everyone else. This was incredibly powerful. I could feel the power within me. It was an incredible breakthrough. This is what being awake and conscious truly means. I am incredibly grateful for this knowing.
8. My heart was opened and I was filled with unconditional love
After days of meditation to open my heart, combined with the knowing of the ‘I Am’ (being God), I was lying in my bed one night and said “I am God and there is no other”. Suddenly, I was filled with the most incredible feeling ever! My heart was overflowing with unconditional love. God’s love. The love I always wanted and tried to find somewhere outside of myself was inside me all along. All the pain and suffering I have ever experienced in my life didn’t matter anymore. It was never real. It was never serious. I can now say that I have known true love.
9. My ability to speak light language was unlocked and I met my dragons
During the same meditation that I used to open my heart, I met a dragon unexpectedly. This dragon told me a phrase that I repeated out loud. As soon as I did that, I burst out speaking light language like any other language I know. That was completely unexpected! Within days, I met two more dragons who are always with me along with the one who helped me unlock my light language. And I have met many more dragons during my meditations that have given me gifts or told me things. I feel honoured and grateful for this experience.
10. No way back
Oh, I tried to go back to my old ways! Despite my desire for a new life, a part of me wanted to hold onto what was. However, I expanded way too much to fit into the small box I was in before all of this. I was emptied of my pain, suffering, and fear to make space for peace, bliss, and unconditional love! There is no way back after I have experienced my truth.
Certain feelings, emotions, and thoughts still come up, but I am forever changed. Spiritual awakening has transformed my life in ways I never expected. There is so much more to experience! To learn, to discover, to… remember. After all, that’s what this life is about! Remembering and enjoying the ride!
