A spiritual awakening is a deeply personal and introspective process that involves a radical shift in one’s consciousness and awareness. It often signifies a break from conventional thinking, out of the box thinking, seperation from material things.
It is a journey of self-discovery that encourages individuals to question their beliefs, values, and the purpose of their existence. A spiritual awakening is not bound by any specific religion or ideology. Instead, it is a universal phenomenon experienced by people from diverse backgrounds and belief systems. At its core, a spiritual awakening is about discovering a deeper connection with oneself, with others, and with the universe as a whole.
Why now do I feel this?
Any awakening can be triggered by so many different things and they are highly individualized experiences. Here are some common causes that may lead to a spiritual awakening:
Crisis or Trauma: Many people experience a spiritual awakening in the aftermath of a significant life event, such as a near-death experience, loss of a loved one, or a major life crisis. These events force individuals to reevaluate their priorities and beliefs. A big loss be it a job or a personal crisis
Looking to find you Purpose: A sense of emptiness or a feeling that life lacks meaning can trigger a spiritual awakening. When individuals yearn for a deeper purpose and understanding, they may embark on a spiritual journey to find answers. Society seems so lost now a days.
