Are you Experiencing a Spiritual Awakening?

What One’s Awakening Can Look Like

Things might get a little vulnerable because I am going to share my awakening story with you all and how I fell down the rabbit hole of spirituality.

You know you have the Gift, Right?"

I experienced my awakening when working for a wedding photographer. While at my first wedding in February 2013, we all knew beforehand that the mother of the bride was a world renowned psychic. Gathering up our stuff to leave at the end of the night, she happened to approach us. She said, “Who knows Flo? Who here knows Florence?” I immediately burst into tears. My grandmother, my maternal figure and favorite person, had just passed less than a month prior.

The woman goes on to say, “She is here with you. And she wants you to know she is okay. She didn’t suffer. She is at peace.” At the end of her life, my grandmother had severe dementia. Months before her passing, she was able to meet Liam, my oldest son, but I always wondered if she understood who he was. 

This incredible woman was able to answer that question for me when she said, "Your grandmother wants you to know that she knew who Liam was. You are doing a wonderful job raising your son and she sees that. She is so proud of you.” 

Pausing for a moment, the woman just stared at me and said, “You know you have the gift, right?” Excuse me, what?

She looked at me and said, “I want you to do a quick exercise with me. I’m picturing my best friend, Pam. I want you to explain to me what she looks like without overthinking...GO!"

Without any hesitation I said, “Well, she is about my height, a little heavier set. She has brown hair and blue eyes with a smile that lights up the room." This woman - this beautiful light-worker - looks at me and smiled. “That’s my Pam," she said. Honestly, in that moment I had no idea what had just happened. She reiterated,

“You have the gift. You just need to cultivate it."

STARING BLANKLY AT HER, I REMEMBER THINKING HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!

Now, the most common wake up calls that one can experience during an awakening could be that of:

  • Loss

  • Crisis

  • Financial hardship

  • Prolonged period of frustration with life

They begin to experience the sensation that there's something missing. There's something off. There's something much larger out there than just themselves. Synchronicities replace coincidences. 

However, the call awakens you, it catapults you into this phase of learning, of seeking, of discovery, and when it happens, you suddenly need to know, understand, and experience more of what you've begun to tap into.

If that sounds like something you have experienced or going through at the moment…

Here are some signs that you could be experiencing a spiritual awakening:

  1. Maybe you are more conscious of the foods that you're putting into your body and the medicines that you're ingesting. 

  2. Maybe you're not sure anymore if the people that you surround yourself with or the path that you're on is the right one for you. 

  3. Maybe you have begun to see those repeating numbers. 1111 two two two nine nine, nine, nine, whatever the case may be. 

  4. Or maybe you're waking up at the same time every single night. 

  5. Maybe you're able to now notice when your vibration or your mood drops and you're able to bring yourself out of it more easily.

  6. Maybe you feel ready to start your journey even if you don't know where that journey is going to lead you. 

  7. Maybe you don't feel connected to the people that you once did, or you feel like you're being drawn to nature and solitude.

  8. Maybe you're even feeling called to download a meditation app and try your hand at meditating. 

  9. Maybe you feel like you are meant for so much more and you're destined for greater things. Even if you don't know what those things are. 

  10. It could be that you're feeling exhausted and maybe you are needing a lot more sleep than normal. 

  11. Maybe you're less interested in gossip or tuning into the news or watching the TV shows that you used to love. 

  12. Maybe your senses are heightened.

  13. Maybe you are able to feel other people's emotions.

  14. Maybe you hear this ringing or buzzing happening in your ear that no one else can hear. 

Congratulations!

If you are experiencing a spiritual awakening, then that means that your life is about to change for the better!
