Part 1: How Spiritual Awakening Begins – Triggers To Waking Up!
Have you had a spiritual awakening? You’re not alone! Whatever the circumstances of your spiritual awakening, I’ve been guiding seekers to navigate their experiences for over 20 years with tools grounded in scientific reality for next steps and integration.
Many clients and students work with me because they’ve recently had what we’re going to generally call a “Spiritual Awakening” that has led them to seek out more in life–more answers, more purpose, more fulfillment, more connection or more of their true selves and ultimately more guidance for next steps in their spiritual journey.
With the onset of the pandemic and global lockdowns over the past year, there are a growing number of people who have been having similar experiences where they were forced to re-evaluate their lives, ask what’s important to them, their direction in life, and start to address some deeper existential and spiritual questions that are coming up for them that cannot be ignored.
Among my own friends, colleagues and clients, many shared their stories about their own experiences of spiritual awakening and how it led them to the path of deeper self-discovery and searching for support and integration.
Sometimes it’s an event or series of events that leads you to start looking and seeking more beyond the physical. Sometimes it’s even a gradual unfoldment, happening over time and then becomes an insatiable urge or desire. Here’s a few of triggers and repeating patterns I see with my clients.
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING TRIGGER #1
BREAK-UP, DIVORCE, OR DEATH OF A LOVED ONE
This was definitely a trigger for me back in 1991. Even though I called myself a “seeker” my whole life and classified myself as a “spiritual but not religious” dabbler for many years, the death of my dad and my own divorce catapulted me into a strong motivation for moving forward and committing to a spiritual path.
My seven-year marriage ended in 1991. My Dad died within 6 months and then a doctor diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and suggested I go home and make final preparations for my own death. He told me that I would either die or end up living life in a wheelchair and I slipped into a very deep dark depression for months. The pain was so intense, pushing me to a breaking point where I felt I had no option but to commit to my own healing and my spiritual progression in a whole new way.
Break-ups can literally crack you open and prompt you to question how to be more authentic and love yourself, heal deep, hidden wounds and patterns, and reveal answers and deeper meaning of what life is all about.
It was also a break-up for Betty G, from Connecticut, who remembers, “I was always against God and religion for most of my life. After a horrible breakup with my fiance, I heard this voice in my head that was clearly not my own, nudging me. I sensed there was something else happening inside me. It led me to start looking and dabbling for spiritual information. I began asking more questions and noticing more synchronicities, repeating numbers, and more interesting phenomena. I really wanted to talk about it with others, but I was surrounded mostly by other atheists and didn’t have anyone to relate to, so I started looking for a spiritual community of other seekers.”
Sometimes, it’s a death of a loved one that gets us thinking and questioning about life beyond the physical and can even lead to some eye-opening experiences. Karla A., in Ontario, Canada, shared, “My spiritual awakening began when my dad died. I started asking ‘Why are we here? What is my purpose? Who is God?” Karla reached out to me on Facebook and during a session I channeled her father’s spirit, “I love you more than life itself. You were always my little peanut, now you are cracking your shell. I lived my life for you…I will never leave you.” I never spoke with Karla before that day and didn’t know her situation but she later shared that since that day, she truly feels her Dad is always with her. From that day Karla continued her spiritual practice and intuitive development unfolded.
