Signs of Spiritual Awakening
Life’s energy is in constant motion and whether you know it or not, you are constantly changing and growing as a person. Some people experience self-growth at a faster pace than others and sometimes people are forced into it due to challenging circumstances they face in life. Causes of spiritual awakening can vary and can be due to the person experiencing a tragic circumstance or simply seeking a desire for change in life. Either way, your spiritual awakening signs will be loud and clear. You will have a deep desire to seek more from life, and simply “living” will not fulfill you anymore. You will feel compelled to search for a deeper meaning and will not rest until you find it.
Causes of spiritual awakening
- Hitting rock bottom or facing a tough time in life
- Coming to a crossroad and feeling confused on your purpose in life
- Questioning the meaning of life and what happens after death
- Feeling a deep desire to help and serve others
- Being called upon by the universe to fulfill your life’s purpose
- Facing death or experiencing a near death experience
- Feeling unfulfilled in your current situation
- Losing a loved one and feeling a desire to reconnect with them on a spiritual level
- The things that you used to enjoy are no longer making you happy anymore
Some specific causes of spiritual awakening can consist of losing your job, going through a divorce or heartbreak, experiencing mental health challenges like anxiety or depression, financial hardship, overcoming drug or alcohol addiction, going to jail, battling a disease, or any other major life challenges. As a result, you may be faced with some spiritual awakening signs that may want to pay attention to.
Spiritual Awakening Signs
1) You are seeking a deeper meaning in life
You may start asking questions like, “Who am I? Where am I going in life? What does life really mean? What will be my legacy after I die? What happens after death?”
2) You start finding it hard to relate to others
You find yourself detached from others and can no longer relate to the things you used to find in common. You may find yourself watching others talk about their daily life and wonder why they are overly concerned with these insignificant events.
* This doesn’t mean that you judge others because of where they are in their journey. It means that you accept that everyone is on their own path, but that yours has veered in a different direction.
3) Experiencing synchronistic events
You often experience synchronistic events, such as seeing numbers occurring in 3’s (For example, 111 relates to manifestation, which could indicate that your actions and thoughts are aligned with your desires.) You could also start to see or hear recurring names, spirit animals, words or objects. These are all messages from the universe that you may want to pay attention to.
4) You have a deep desire to seek out your purpose in life
You quit your job to seek out your purpose in life or pursue what you are truly passionate about.
5) You start attracting the things you think about
Have you ever noticed that when you think of someone, they end up reaching out to you? Or how about when you keep bumping into the same person over and over again? These are not coincidences. This person may need to be in your life for a specific reason.
6) You have a new sense of compassion for others
You find yourself acting in selfless ways and more emotionally intelligent. You may find that you have a genuine desire to help others overcome any obstacles they may be facing.
7) You're more in tune with your intuition
You’re able to understand, listen, and follow your intuition more often. You no longer question your gut feeling and you trust that it is the universe guiding you toward whatever is meant for you.
8) You find yourself crying often out of sense of release
These tears are not tears of sadness but are tears of enlightenment. You may not even know why you are crying, but it will feel so damn good! They make you smile, laugh, and bring you deep joy and contentment. They are tears of relief that make you feel like you’ve awakened to a whole new world.
I cried and cried and cried when I opened up to the spiritual world. The crying lasted months and it was such a liberating feeling. Everything would make me cry, and it was as if my eyes were open for the first time since I was born. It was a feeling of rebirth, and you will know it when it happens to you.
9) You get goosebumps often
Especially when the goosebumps seem to come out of nowhere.
10) You hear ringing in your right ear
If you get a slight ringing in your right ear, it could have some spiritual significance. It could also be tinnitus, so make sure you rule that out if the ringing is obnoxious and occurs often. Otherwise, it may be a being from the spiritual world trying to communicate with you. They could be trying to tell you that they are with you and guiding you.
11) You start building relationships with people that uplift you
You may find that the people around you have a genuine desire to help and see you succeed, without wanting anything in return.
12) There is a shift in your personal relationships
You somehow lose old relationships that were no longer serving you and meet new uplifting people that compliment your self growth.
13) You have a desire to lead a pure healthy life
You have a deep desire to cut bad habits and want to seek a cleaner, healthier lifestyle.
14) You have a new appreciation for nature
You may feel energetically connected to nature when you are outdoors.
When I first had my spiritual awakening experience, all I wanted to do was be outside in nature. It was when I felt at peace and in tune with my true self.
