Differentiating Spiritual Awakening from Similar Experiences: Are You Truly Awakening?

Personal Experiences: Real Stories, Real Awakenings
- Closing my retail business of 10 years in Boston.
- Moving 2,000 miles away from family, friends, and familiar surroundings to Colorado.
- Having my husband of 16 years come home from a 3-week business trip to tell me “he was done!”
- Being ignored and cut off from communicating with my husband while I was constantly crying and grieving the end of the marriage for 4 months.
- Hiding it all from family and friends during that time, essentially going it alone without support.
- Leaving my husband and going back to the East Coast to help a friend with her summer businesses.
- Breaking free from the grief and shock of it all.
- Suddenly awakening to lightness of being, inner joy, and freedom from my husband’s consciousness, and more! (Too much to get into right here…)

Having a Quantum Spiritual Awakening?
I recommend the highest level of consciousness available to all of us. The gift of enlightened teachings and quantum healing light. It is significant to understand the Map of Consciousness® and come into the awareness of the teachings of the renowned spiritual teacher, Dr. David R. Hawkins. Just listening to him can help smooth the edges and bring you into some semblance of balance and peace.
He’s traveled the vast path of human consciousness and enlightened states as I have and has the genius level of understanding consciousness, true compassion, and loving intent to end human suffering and illuminate the arduous path and pitfalls of entering higher states of consciousness and confrontations with the opposite.
If you are experiencing a quantum spiritual awakening or emergency, my “go to” recommendation is to read, listen to, or watch all of the teachings from Dr. David R. Hawkins, our generations’ Lord Buddha, Lord Jesus Christ, and Lord Krishna. He calibrated at the highest level of consciousness a human being can and still remain in the body. You can’t get any purer transmission of truth, power, and love than this.
Here are links I recommend:
I have experienced quantum leaps in consciousness and know firsthand what the subjective experience of this can be like. It IS NOT of this world! It’s helpful to have a highly conscious advanced spiritual teacher that’s traveled the path of the Buddha and Lord Jesus Christ.

FAQs
Here’s a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers about spiritual awakening, designed to address common queries and encourage further exploration:
Frequently Asked Questions About Spiritual Awakening
- What is a spiritual awakening? A spiritual awakening is a profound, personal transformation involving recognizing and connecting with your higher self. It entails questioning your beliefs, shedding societal expectations, and living a more aligned, conscious, and authentic life. It’s an ongoing journey of self-discovery, not merely a trendy term. Some might refer to this process as “spiritual enlightenment” or a “Kundalini Awakening”.
- How do you know if you are spiritually awakened? You may feel a heightened sense of awareness, inner peace, and a deeper connection to yourself and the universe. Often, your priorities shift toward spiritual growth and self-discovery. You might notice you’re more aware, introspective, or feeling detached from your previous habits. You begin asking deep questions like “Who am I?”.
- What are the common signs and symptoms of a spiritual awakening? Common signs include a craving for meaning and purpose, increased inner peace, a deeper connection to yourself and the universe, and a shift in priorities. You may question previously held beliefs, experience synchronicities (meaningful coincidences), feel a strong pull towards authenticity and truth, and develop a desire to be of service to others and the environment. You may also notice changes in your physical well-being, such as altered sleeping or eating patterns, heightened senses, or increased sensitivity.
- What are the physical symptoms of a spiritual awakening? Physical symptoms can include unexplained aches or pains, tension in the neck, headaches, or minor discomfort as your body processes emotional and spiritual energy. You may also experience changes in energy levels, and sensitivity to light and sounds. Changes in sleep patterns such as occasional insomnia or vivid dreams are also common.
- What are the mental and emotional signs of spiritual awakening? Mentally, you may experience inner peace amidst chaos and an urge to seek purpose. Emotionally, you may have increased compassion and empathy. Heightened intuition and awareness are also hallmarks of this spiritual stage. You may notice yourself feeling deeply connected to the emotions of others.
- What triggers a spiritual awakening? Spiritual awakenings can be triggered by major life events, such as the loss of a loved one, near-death experiences, or pivotal moments that shake up your world. They can also be spontaneous. Awakening can also happen due to your temperament.
- How long do spiritual awakenings last? Spiritual awakenings vary in duration, ranging from months to years, as they are an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. The spiritual awakening process is said to be a lifelong journey – once it begins, it never ends.
- What are the stages of a spiritual awakening? While the process varies for everyone, common stages include questioning everything you once knew, a challenging period where the ego is stripped away (the “dark night of the soul”), experimenting with new hobbies and relationships, recognizing and embodying your true nature, building a structure in your life where your spirit can thrive, and releasing any remaining structures holding you back.
- Spiritual Calling: You feel a calling to go in search of something “more.”
- Resisting the Path: A part of you resists the unknown.
- Finding Guidance: You’ll be drawn to finding as much external guidance as you can.
- Starting the Journey: You’ll become a spiritual wanderer.
- Turning Inwards: You’ll feel the call to turn more deeply inward.
- Facing the Darkness: The “darkness” you face within is your shadow self.
- Illumination: Experiencing glimpses of Divine Love, interconnectedness, and mystical experiences of Oneness.
- Integration: Integrating your hard-won wisdom into your daily life.
- What is “the dark night of the soul?” This is a period where old beliefs, fears, or traumas surface, leaving you feeling lost or unsettled. The Dark Night of the Soul is a period in life when we feel completely cut off from God or the Divine. It’s very challenging, but once you hit rock bottom, there’s nowhere to go but up—forcing you to make a real change.
- What role does Kundalini play in spiritual awakening? Kundalini is described as a dormant energy located at the base of the spine. When awakened, it rises through the body’s chakras (energy centers), releasing accumulated feelings and mental blocks. This process can lead to profound transformations in perception, thinking, and feeling, but it can also be challenging.
- How can I navigate the challenges of a spiritual awakening, such as feelings of isolation or confusion? It is essential to trust the journey and have faith in the process, even when feeling overwhelmed. Seek guidance from spiritual mentors, healers, or authors who can provide clarity and reassurance. Build a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share similar values. Spend time in nature, explore meditation, and deepen your spiritual practices. Remember that the process is about progress, not perfection, and that your spiritual awakening is uniquely your own.
- How can I deepen my spiritual practice and continue to grow after a spiritual awakening? To deepen your practice, spend more time in nature, explore meditation, or connect with mentors. Connect with your intuition, explore your true nature, and challenge any limiting beliefs or societal constructs you may have.
- How do I know I am on the right path during a spiritual awakening? Look for signs that indicate alignment with your true self, such as increased synchronicities, a sense of inner peace, a desire to be of service, and heightened intuition. Trust your inner guidance and listen to the still, small voice within. Embrace authenticity, truth, and compassion.
- What are some common myths about spiritual awakening?
- Myth 1 – Once you spiritually awaken, you become instantly enlightened.
- Myth 2 – Being spiritually awake means always experiencing love, light, and bliss.
- Myth 3 – Only a rare and elite variety of people experience awakening symptoms.
- What do I do after a spiritual awakening?
- Explore all the different spiritual paths available.

- Practice some form of inner work while walking your own path to ensure that you’re evolving, staying grounded, and healing inner wounds that may sabotage your progress.
- How can I find support during my spiritual awakening?
- Seek guidance from spiritual mentors, healers, or authors.
- Build a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share similar values.
- Look for books or podcasts about spirituality that resonate with you.
- What is inner work and how does it relate to spiritual awakening?
- Inner work is the psychological and spiritual practice of diving deep into your inner self for the purposes of self-exploration, self-understanding, spiritual healing, and transformation.
- It helps to deepen and mature your process of spiritual awakening.
