Being Spiritually Awake Is the New Sexy

There has been a huge surge of people newly awakening on the planet as the universe continues to raise its vibration and experience further ascension.  There are many stages to the awakening process and symptoms and experiences are unique to the individual due to a number of factors.  Some people experience small awakening shifts, while others experience deep shifts that come in rapidly and occur frequently.  These shifts happen in order to

provide guidance in many areas and help us ultimately remember who we really are.  We are powerful beyond our wildest imagination and most of us have barely tapped into our potential!  Many of you have been experiencing your awakening for quite some time, and for some, you are entering this experience for the first time.  One thing holds true and that is, once you truly awaken, it is virtually impossible to fall back asleep again.  Plus, you wouldn’t want to anyway once you see that there is much more to this life experience than simply getting up each day, going to work, and essentially repeating it all over again the next day, and staying asleep to other possibilities.

Below are some common symptoms that people experience when they being to spiritually awaken.  Check these out and see if you can relate to any of them.  The awakening process presents many challenges, but it is worth every bump on the road.  One important thing to remember when you're struggling is that you always have an “invisible” spiritual team offering guidance, support and unconditional love every step of the way.

Common Symptoms of Being Spiritually Awake:

• The feeling that something has changed inside of you.  You can’t explain it but you feel different and it feels like you’ve become a new person, which has nothing to do with the one you were before.  You are no longer willing to hold on to the illusion of comfort and you take more risks knowing that it will somehow lead you to your authentic self. 
• Awareness of your old negative habits.  As you further evolve, you will start to let these go and replace them with healthy habits. 
• To not feel good with your old entourage anymore and to feel the need to be alone or with new people, more alignment with who you have become.  Evolving spiritually can be a painful process, as not everyone around you will evolve at the same speed (or at all in some cases).  You may experience tremendous growth, but it is not necessarily the case for our family and friends that stay the same.   You may hear a lot of “You’ve changed”. If you hear this, go ahead and pat yourself on the back for choosing to not stay stuck and for becoming more evolved!
• To not stand superficiality and everything that is not authentic.  There’s too much to share on this one topic here, but you get the idea.  
• Deep sadness/compassion about the suffering in the world.
• Feeling the need to make this world a better place.  You experience a huge heart chakra expansion and feel compassion and love for all. 
• A deep yearning for meaning in your life.
• Hypersensitivity in many areas, including sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell that become more and more developed.  Also, your spiritual senses such intuition, imagination, and conscience open and expand and can do so quickly.
• Creativity and increased inspiration, along with a need to realize your dreams.  The old hum drum job for example just won’t cut it anymore when you’re being honest with yourself.  You want more and you won't settle for less!
• Willingness to know who you truly are and to be YOU finally.  Any facades, personas or characters you’ve been hiding behind, will need to be released.  Also, the inability to rationalize decisions that you know are not good for you and having the courage to live in more evolved and authentic ways.
• Increased intuitions and desire to reconnect with yourself.
• Increase in coincidences and synchronicities in your life.
• More awareness and attention to the food you eat.  You may suddenly develop an aversion to certain foods, crave new foods, completely change up your diet, or not know what you want.  It’s also common to experience a variety in how much you eat, where during certain growth periods you eat more and at other times your diet is very light.
• Changing sleep patterns.  This varies from needing extra sleep to thriving with less sleep.  Much of this is determined by the amount of spiritual growth you’re experiencing.  When you’re in a deep spiritual growth mode, you tend to require more rest so the physical body can catch up with your spiritual advancement.  Don’t resist this as allowing it helps you integrate your shifts!
• Loss of interest in worrying.  You begin shifting from a base of fear to love in everything.
• Loss of interest in all forms of conflict.  You’re truly a lover, not a fighter.
• Loss of interest towards any type of judgment towards others or yourself.
• Increased willingness to love and give without expectations.
• Feeling of being connected to everything and everyone (humans, animals, nature, planet, universe).
• Strong connection to animals and nature.
• Feeling of Bliss.
