My Symptoms Of Spiritual Awakening

I often get questions about spiritual awakening. Is it real, and how do you know if you are experiencing it? There are many different lists of ascension symptoms available online, but it is no easy task to know which is more accurate or reliable.

In my opinion Karen Bishop’s list is the best. She wrote that “we all experience our spiritual development in our own unique way. For some of us the changes occur slowly; for others a series of events can trigger sudden growth. We do not all share the same symptoms or changes”. I therefore can’t account for all of the symptoms, but I am going to share some of the experiences I’ve personally had as a psychic. I am not listing these things in any particular order, as I can’t remember what I noticed happening first.

Feeling Disoriented

I had no sense of direction. I found my way around the city, not by knowing which the north end is and which is the south, but because I have gotten lost so many times! Every time I left my house I got lost. I live right off the main street that divides the city. Everything is either North or South. If you are one block north, then the addresses will all be in a certain range, and vice versa. Simple enough. But, by the time I would realize I was going the wrong way, I would turn off, turn around and proceed in the opposite direction. Only to find out that I have continued on in still the wrong direction. I think my record was four times in a row!

Unusual Aches And Pains

I experienced physical discomforts that for us women are often simply chalked up as ‘menstrual’. The pains were usually in the lower back and neck area. For me, it felt as though someone is pushing on my head so hard they are compressing my neck.

Many of us, myself included, find ourselves stunned and confused by the degree of physical and emotional pain we experience in ascension, not understanding how or why it is a part of the process, nor how to regain our health so that we can keep going forward ~ Jelaila Starr

Disrupted Sleep Pattern

This one I’ve experienced a couple of different ways. I would wake up between 2 and 4am, or I would not be able to sleep for longer than two to three hours at a time without waking up. When my youngest turned six months, I was complaining that I hadn’t slept through the night in over two years, due to my children’s needs. But, shortly thereafter, I realized, that my baby finally slept through the night, but, that it was me who was still waking every few hours.

Seeing And Hearing Things

Several times, while I was sleeping, I would be awakened by a man’s voice, loud, right in my ear. Sometimes saying my name or sometimes just saying something like: “Hey, you!” The first time, I flew out of bed and walked through the house, to make sure no one was inside. And, of course, let us not forget the shadow people that some of us see out of the corner of our eyes.

Loss Of Identity

I felt very different. When I looked in the mirror I would not recognize the person staring back at me. Every now and again, I got a glimpse of the ‘old me.’ I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.

Heightened Sensitivities

When it’s too loud, you’re too old. That used to be my motto. Well, guess what? I have became so highly sensitive that the bass of the stereo, especially in small rooms or cars, literally hurts inside my ears. I would hear a slight buzzing noise from the TV that drove me crazy. I lived in a good-sized, three-level house. One time, I was sitting in the living room on the main floor, getting my kids ready for a family outing. We were waiting for their father to finish getting ready in the upstairs bathroom, when I suddenly smelled toothpaste. I yelled up the stairs, I asked him if he was brushing his teeth. He came to the top of the stairs, toothbrush in hand and looked at me weird, as I told him I could smell it all the way down there.

Loss Of Appetite

Let me tell you, I love to eat! Being a full-blooded Sicilian, I love to make the old family recipes. But with my spiritual awakening, I began smelling chemicals in canned food, as well as on my fresh fruits and vegetables, and on most all of the meat from the grocery store. I could even smell it in my baby’s formula and on his breath after his feedings. Also, in his diapers. It turned my stomach. It made me regret quitting breastfeeding.

Lack Of Motivation

I did not really want to do anything, or did what I wanted to do, instead of what I needed to do. I more often needed a time of ‘rebooting.’ A whole day would go by, sometimes two or three; before I noticed I’ve gotten nothing accomplished, besides the basics for survival. I had to force myself to do the things I used to love to do. Even shopping.

Yearning To Return Home

During and after my near-death experience, I had the constant desire to ‘go home.’ I often found myself saying out loud, “I just want to go back.” Those around me would look at me and say, “But you are home?” And then I would realize, I had just said that out loud.

Time Speeding Up

I often asked friends and relatives if they felt like time seemed to be going by faster than it used to. The majority of them always agreed. I’ve heard that time seems to go by faster as you get older. But, this was different.

Many ancient traditions worldwide maintain that humans not only inherently possess the potential for fully incarnating light at the physiological level, but that some have already achieved it, and millions more will do so in the very era in which we live ~ Sol Luckman

Hot Flashes

They begin at the crown of your head and sometimes they travel down your spine. It feels like a downloading of energy. This happened to me often, and I’ was definitely not menopausal. In fact, I was still nursing a baby at the time.

Sudden Bursts Of Energy

Mine in particular were accompanied by intense dizziness and nausea. I would get the sudden desire and energy to paint the boys’ room, for example. A few minutes later, I would be overcome with dizziness and nausea.

Vivid Lucid Dreams

My dreams were no longer dream-like; they are more like actual experiences and travels. Visits to far off places, visits to myself, and visits to people I don’t even know, for observational purposes. I had dreams that I could fly at least once a week, as well as weekly visits from my deceased mother. Those were the best.

There is a complete list of symptoms by Karen Bishop, which also explains the reasons for these changes taking place in most of us. I have only listed a few things that happened to me – specifically the ones I felt were the most alarming, or out of character for me. And, possibly you have noticed some of these things and they are out of character for you also. So, rest assured, you are not going insane. Change is usually tough, especially when it is for the better.
