When we have a spiritual awakening, we literally “wake up” to life. We begin to question our old beliefs, habits and ideals, and see that there is much more to life than what we have been taught.
Spiritual awakenings can happen at any moment or period in life. They can be spontaneous, but they can also be triggered by major life changes, illnesses, tragedies and traumas. If you’ve experienced a spiritual awakening, you might crave to find the meaning of your life and whether there is a “higher state” of being.
Common signs of a spiritual awakening include:
Feeling as though your life has changed forever
Uncertainty and fear
No longer liking what you once liked to do
Extreme desire for solitude
Feeling greater empathy for others
Becoming more sensitive
Going through bouts of anxiety and depression
Asking questions such as “Why am I here?” and “What is my life purpose?”
Thirst for truth and spiritual self-fulfillment
Spiritual awakenings often mark the beginning of our soulwork and spiritual paths. However, spiritual awakenings can be shocking, painful and extremely unsettling periods of our lives. Often people who experience spiritual awakenings feel as though their entire lives have been turned upside down and inside out. This shock is often referred to as the Dark Night of the Soul.
