What Is Spiritual Awakening? 23 Major Signs and Symptoms

Wondering what is spiritual awakening? Itโ€™s an experience where you become aware and understand your inner self as a whole. It is a term that is very often used to describe a personal spiritual journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Going through a spiritual awakening is one of the most confusing, lonely, alienating, but also supremely beautiful experiences in life.

Put simply,ย spiritual awakenings mark the beginning of your initiation on the spiritual path.ย Without experiencing a spiritual awakening, we go throughout life pursuing the emptiness of money, fame, power, and respect in an attempt to find โ€œhappiness.โ€

The unsettling and equally beautiful thing about spiritual awakenings is that they occur at the least expected times. There is no way you can plan for them. They lurch into your life and shake everything up like tornadoes. But the hidden gift buried deep within them is that they occur at the precise time that you need them the most.

Spiritual awakenings are the soulโ€™s cry for freedom.

Listen to its call and your life will be transformed into something meaningful and significant.

Refuse its call and your life will be like a graveyard.

If you have experienced a spiritual awakening, you have come to see through the lies and illusions of this world. Deep in your soul, you realize that nothing external has ever, and can ever, bring you true happiness or fulfillment. This profound realization leaves you craving for something richer, more fulfilling, and something that will make you feel whole once again.

If youโ€™re looking for answers, if youโ€™re thirsting for a direction in life, this page will share with youย everythingย you need to know. On this page, you will find all the possible resources you need for the beginning of your journey including what spiritual awakening is, common spiritual awakening symptoms, and much more.

What Is A Spiritual Awakening?

What is the meaning of โ€˜spiritual awakeningโ€™?

When we undergo a spiritual awakening (also known asย spiritual ascension),ย we literally โ€œwake upโ€ to life.ย We begin to question our old beliefs, habits, and social conditioning, and see that there is much more to life than what we have been taught.

It is common to ask questions such as,ย โ€œWhy am I here?โ€ โ€œWhat is the purpose of my life?โ€ โ€œWhat happens after death?โ€ โ€œWhy do good people suffer?โ€ย and other questions that examine the fundamental nature of life during your awakening. Spiritual awakeningsย stir the deepest and most significant questions within us that we have been putting off askingย or have been too scared to touch.

What is Spiritual Awakening

If youโ€™ve experienced a spiritual awakening, you might crave to find theย meaning of your lifeย and whether there is a โ€œhigher stateโ€ of being. Searching for God, or for the Divine, is a common desire during this experience.

My Experience With The Spiritual Awakening Process

I experienced the beginnings of my spiritual awakening in 2010. At that time, I was deeply brainwashed and trapped in a world of cultish teachings from the fundamentalist Christian church I was born into.

But something was eating away at me. I began to doubt, question,ย and a sense that there was way more to life than my indoctrinated outlook,ย and I felt deeply lost and alone.ย I had no one outside of the church that I felt comfortable talking to about my feelings.

I had no true friends to confide in โ€“ and my family didnโ€™t understand โ€“ or rather,ย didnโ€™t want to.ย As a result, I felt so alienated and suffocated withย lonelinessย that I developed depression, health issues, OCD, and chronic anxiety, the latter lasting for many years.

what is spiritual awakening

Like Neo in the movieย The Matrix, I was being offeredย the red and blue pill.ย Should I continue taking the blue pill and remain in my comfortable ignorance? Or should I take the red pill and be free (but experience the pain of waking up)?

Long story short, I chose the red pill. It wasnโ€™t easy at first. I would often carry the unshakable sensation thatย I was falling endlessly through a void of darkness.ย Theย Dark Night of the Soulย descended quickly upon me. And ultimately, I had no fucking idea what was happening and thought for sure I was losing it (or would burn in hell for eternity).

But it was WORTH all the pain and sacrifice.ย No regret.ย The amount of growth, love, transformation, and freedom Iโ€™ve experienced since choosing the โ€˜red pillโ€™ has been totally mind-blowing, life-changing, and unfathomably profound.

Why Did Your Spiritual Awakening Happen?

So, why do spiritual awakenings happen in the first place?

Spiritual awakenings happen as a natural product of your Soul evolving, expanding, and maturing.ย  Just as everything in life grows, so too does our connection with our Souls.

The more you connect toย your Soulย (whether accidentally or intentionally), the more you experience transformation. The more you come to embody your Soul, the more you taste true and lasting joy, peace, fulfillment, freedom, and love.

While the spiritual awakening process can feel painful and disturbing at first, it ultimately helps you to live a more meaningful life. The sensation that your life doesnโ€™t make sense anymore is the product of having all of your former beliefs, desires, and paradigms challengedย and often disproven. This is traumatic, but a necessary part of your expansion.

What Triggers The Spiritual Awakening Process?

You might be curious to know what activates spiritual awakenings.

The answer is that innumerable circumstances can trigger this process! There really is no one answer.

Spiritual awakenings can happen at any moment or period in your life.ย They can be spontaneous, but they can also be triggered by major life changes, illnesses, tragedies, and traumas such as life-threatening illnesses, car accidents, divorces, war, midlife crises, and much more.

Awakening can also happen due to your temperament. For instance, you might be anย old soulย or a sensitiveย empathย by nature (these types of people are more โ€˜plugged intoโ€™ the transcendent side of life). Furthermore, for some people, spiritual awakenings are even triggered by deep but challengingย twin flameย relationships.

Generally speaking, the spiritual awakening process happens in conjunction with an experience known asย The Dark Night of the Soul.

The Dark Night Of The Soul & Awakening

If youโ€™re highly sensitive to the suffering of others and are a deep thinker by nature, it is possible that you have gone through, or are currently going through, a Dark Night of the Soul.

The Dark Night of the Soulย is a period in life when we feel completely cut off from God or the Divine. The moreย awareย you become of your disconnection from the Divine, the more chances you have of experiencing a Dark Night of the Soul.

Going through a Dark Night of the Soul is profoundly entwined with the process of spiritual awakening.ย Before seeing the light (i.e. spiritually awakening) we must โ€œwalk through the valley of the shadow of deathโ€ in order to prepare our minds and hearts for the conscious upgrade.

Just think about the analogy of getting dressed. In order to put on new clothes, you must take off the old ones. That, in a nutshell, is essentially what the Dark Night of the Soul is about. The old must be stripped away in order to make way for the new.

This means that the suffering you experience during the Dark Night of the Soulย isย for a purpose โ€“ and that is the destruction of the old (outdated beliefs, identities, habits) to pave way for fresh ways of being.

This life is a cycle of birth and death. As such, going through the Dark Night is not a pretty or manicured experience โ€“ at its core, itโ€™s raw, primal, and the most difficult experience known to humanity. Everything is stripped away from you. There is no light, no clarity, and no peace. But please know that itย isย a stage, and like everything in life, it will naturally fade.

Thereย areย ways of speeding up the Dark Night (like doing inner work) which we have explored on this website extensively. I have gone through a bleak and chaotic Dark Night of the Soul, and let me tell you, inner work isย vital.ย Itโ€™s kind of like the difference between letting your old clothes just fall off you (which is a long, unhygienic, and tiresome process) or actively pulling them off and throwing them to the wind yourself.

Signs you might be experiencing a Dark Night of the Soul (along with a spiritual awakening) include the following:

  • You feel isolated from everything (others, yourself, life in general)
  • You feel abandoned by god/the divine
  • Your mood is almost always low and melancholic
  • Youโ€™re lost and donโ€™t know which direction is right
  • You feel despair and horror when observing the world
  • You feel a sense of existential dread
  • You feel deep tiredness in your bones
  • You lack theย motivation to keep doing what you used to
  • Youโ€™ve lost interested in most things
  • You keep pondering the deep questions of life (e.g. โ€œwhat is the purpose?โ€)
  • You feel like you donโ€™t belong on this planet

This list is not exhaustive, so keep in mind you might be experiencing signs that arenโ€™t included here. You can take our freeย Dark Night of the Soul testย if you need more clarification.

7 Spiritual Awakening Stages

The spiritual awakening process is complex, multi-layered, and different for everyone. In reality, it cannot be fit into neat categories.

However, with that being said itย isย helpful to have a kind of โ€œmapโ€ to locate where youโ€™re at right now. The following stages are general. They define the overall flow of the spiritual awakening process:

Stage 1 โ€“ Unhappiness, despondency, and feeling lost

In this stage, you experience the aforementioned Dark Night of the Soul. This is a time of confusion, disconnection, alienation, depression, and great unhappiness with life. You are searching for something, but you donโ€™t quite know what.

There is a great loomingย emptiness insideย of you. This stage either emerges spontaneously or due to a life crisis (e.g. breakup, divorce, death, trauma, illness, major life change).

Stage 2 โ€“ Shifting perspectives

You start to perceive reality in a totally different way. In this stage, you start seeing through the lies and delusions propagated by society. You feel unhappy with life, disturbed by the suffering you seeย and hopeless to theย ills of the world. You no longer see life as you once did in your previous state of complacent unawareness.

Stage 3 โ€“ Seeking answers and meaning

Thereย mustย be a point to all this, right? In this stage, youโ€™re asking all the deep questions. You are in search of your life purpose, spiritual destiny, and theย meaning of life itself. You will start dabbling in different metaphysical, self-help, and esoteric fields in the search for answers and truth. Your focus is on beginning your spiritual search.

Stage 4 โ€“ Finding answers and experiencing breakthroughs

After a lot ofย soul searching, youโ€™ll find a few teachers, practices, or belief systems that ease your existential suffering.(Beware: a lot ofย spiritual bypassingย can occur in this stage.) You will feel a sense of expansion as old patterns dissolve and your true self (soul) begins to emerge.

You may have a number of mystical experiences or brief moments of satori (enlightenment) that give you a glimpse into the ultimate nature of reality. This is a time of joy, hope, connection, and awe.

Stage 5 โ€“ Disillusionment and feeling lost again

Life is about movement. With the spiritual awakening process, there is always an ebb and a flow. In this stage, you become bored and tired of your spiritual teachers or practices. You may become disillusioned by the faux spiritual BS out there and crave for something deeper. You may have even experienced long periods of connection with the Divine, only to become separated again (this is normal).

Understandably, youโ€™ll feel disturbed and deeply upset by this experience. Additionally, while you may have experienced many mental/emotional/spiritual breakthroughs, they might feel superficial. You crave authenticity and deep spirituality that permeates your life and transforms every part of you. The unhappiness and stagnation you feel will motivate you to go in search of more.

Stage 6 โ€“ Deeper inner work

In this stage, youโ€™re not interested in dabbling in feel-good spiritual philosophies or surface practices anymore. The abiding pain you feel inside motivates you to do deep inner work. You may become a serious student of meditation, mindfulness, ritual,ย inner child work,ย shadow work, bodywork, or various other transpersonal philosophies.

Stage 7 โ€“ Integration, expansion, joy

Integration means taking the spiritual lessons youโ€™ve learned from your inner work and applying them to your daily life. Integration happens both naturally and consciously as a habit in deep spiritual practice. In this stage, youโ€™ll experience the most profound and long-lasting changes deep within.

Many people experience prolongedย mystical experiencesย and periods of unity with the Divine in the integration phase. Remember that enlightenment, orย full self-realization, is never guaranteed: we can strive for it, but it is ultimately a gift from Life. Nevertheless, profound peace, love, and joy emerge and are felt in this stage.

You may feel ready to be a spiritual mentor or role model in your community and pass on your insight to others. Life will become less about you and more about We. Your perspective will expand and you will start seeing things from the big picture. Above all else, you will feel connected, at peace with yourself, and deeply aligned with life.

Note:ย it is common to move back and forth between these spiritual awakening stages. Remember that this is not a linear process โ€“ you cannot just move from A to B to C.

This is a complex and messy path, so itโ€™s perfectly fine if it doesnโ€™t look like what Iโ€™ve described. Your spiritual awakening process is unique toย you. But I do hope this analysis has helped (in some way) you to โ€˜gain your bearings.โ€™

  23. You see that we are all One

Iโ€™ll expand on these signs below:

1. You feel as though your life is false

Everything that you have believed, built, and worked towards seems to be false. Your life doesnโ€™t feel as though itโ€™s your own. You no longer feel like yourself โ€“ nearly everything you once enjoyed no longer brings you meaning or satisfaction.

2. You craving for meaning and purpose

You deeply desire to find the meaning of your life. You have no idea what your purpose is, but you want to find it desperately. Thereโ€™s a sense that something is โ€œmissingโ€ inside of you (likeย a part of your soul).

3. You begin asking deep questions

Questions such as โ€œWhy am I here?โ€ โ€œWhatโ€™s the purpose of life?โ€ โ€œWhat happens after we die?โ€ โ€œWhy do people suffer?โ€ arise. You begin thinking more philosophically. Such profound thoughts may greatly disturb you as you donโ€™t know the answers.

4. You realize that a lot of what youโ€™ve been taught is a lie

You start to see how many beliefs, feelings, and values are not actually your own, but other peopleโ€™s or inherited from your culture. You are growing inย self-awareness.

Some People Awaken Spiritually

5. You feel completely lost and alone

Nothing in your life seems to make sense anymore. You feel as though youโ€™re wandering through an endless wilderness. As a vagabond, you feel completely alone and cut off from people. You struggle to relate to those you once felt close to (i.e. your friends, work colleagues, and family members).

6. You see through the illusions of society

Materialism, success,ย and profit no longer mean anything to you. You start feeling as though youโ€™re a cog in the machine of society.

7. You see how unhappy most people are

You awaken to the unhappiness and suffering of others. You may start to explore activism or read more about the human condition. It is tormenting for you to realize how much pain there is in the world.

8. You want to โ€˜purgeโ€™ your life

Youโ€™re sick and tired of feeling stranded, depressed, and hopeless. Suddenly, you feel the need to simplify and declutter your life. This could mean cutting ties with toxic people, reassessing your habits, throwing out old things, relocating to a new job or place to live, or even giving away most of what you own.

9. You begin experiencing deep empathy and compassion

As you start paying more attention to the many hardships faced by humanity and nature alike, you develop more compassion. Your inherent empathy is awakened and you may find it hard to cope with the intensity of your feelings.

This is a pivotal point in your inner transformation: you either numb the pain you feel with addictions, or you find healthy ways to accept and express your emotions.

10. You desire to be alone

You craveย solitude. Whereas once you may have been extroverted, now you experience the introverted side of your nature. You spend a lot of time introspecting and enjoying the silence. At every cost, you try to reduce social contact. At this point, you may lose touch with many old friends.

11. Conversations seem shallow

When you do talk to people you feel an acute sense of separation. You realize that very few people are comfortable with talking about passion, emotions, meaning, and the soul. In conversations, you feel restless and irritated by the small talk.

You silently scream, โ€œCanโ€™t anyone wake up and realize what is happening?โ€ Your distaste for frivolous chit-chat draws you more into solitude. You may become a lone wolf or rebelliousย free spirit.

12. You want to quit your job

Even though you worked for years getting your degree, establishing your career, and climbing the ranks, you feel nothing but emptiness. Your job no longer provides you with the sense of fulfillment that you need. You desperately crave for more.

13. You thirst for authenticity and truth

Beingย true to yourselfย becomes a topย priority. You hate faking and putting on the old masks that you used to wear. You want to be completelyย authentic. Pretense makes you feel sick and disgusted.

14. You become aware of your old negative habits

You are painfully aware of your flaws and destructive habits. Within youย arises a strong urge to wipe the slate clean and start over.

15. You experience anxiety and/or depression

You may go through deep bouts ofย existential depressionย or persistent anxiety. The shock of plunging into your awakening leaves you feeling unstable. You may be misdiagnosed with a mental illness. Uncertainty and fear follow you around everywhere.

16. You become more sensitive

Everything impacts you more. You feel the energy of others more strongly, the pain of your loved ones more intensely, and the difficulties in life deeper than ever before. At the same time, you feel a gloriously enhanced connection with animals and nature. You start feeling more at home within the natural world (rather than the manmade world).

17. You want to make the world a better place

When all is said and done, you want to leave the world a better place. You start thinking โ€˜big picture.โ€™ This longing to make a real impact translates to actively helping others or finding a life purpose that aligns with this desire.

18. You deeply want to understand who you are

Endless questions arise about your identity and your life, for example, โ€œWho am I?โ€ โ€œWhy was I born?โ€ โ€œWhat am I here to do?โ€ โ€œWhat is the purpose of my existence?โ€ As a result, you begin reading many self-help books and spiritual texts. No wonder you ended up here. ?

19. Your intuition is heightened

Intuition

Gradually you begin to listen to the still, small voice within. You allow it to guide your decisions and you may receive secret messages from your unconscious mind. You may even come in contact with yourย spirit guides,ย spirit animal, or other spiritual helpers. Eventually, you start to uncover your hidden spiritual gifts and talents thanks to learningย how to trust your intuition.

Related:14 Tips and Tricks To Master Your Intuition

20. Moreย synchronicity

You start becoming conscious of the many signs and omens that life brings to you. Life becomes much more receptive and interactive with you. Serendipity and dรฉjร  vu increase. You may even undergo numerous mystical experiences.

21. You feel more wonder and curiosity

The smallest things start to bring you joy and bliss: a falling leaf, a spiderโ€™s web, a childโ€™s laughter, a puddle. Life is no longer ignored โ€“ it is seen as magical, amazing, and beautiful.

22. You start to love unconditionally

As the barriers ofย the egoย break down, you begin to love other people without expectations or conditions (this includesย self-love). You lose interest in drama, conflict,ย and anything that perpetuates hatred.

23. You see that we are all One

Not only do you intellectually understand that we are all interconnected, but youย feelย it deep within your bones. You realize that our thoughts and beliefs influence reality, and that we are all fragments of one great Whole โ€“ that is, Spirit. Having fully experienced that we are thisย Oneness, you find peace at last. Sometimes this stage can take years or even an entire lifetime.

Physical Spiritual Awakening Symptoms

Physical signs obviously differ for everyone. Here are a few symptoms that I have observed within myself and many others who have begun the spiritual awakening process:

  • Amplification of sense. For example, your sight, hearing, taste, touch and/or smell becomes intensified. You may even discover that youโ€™re anย HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).
  • You discover food intoleranceโ€™s that you never seemed to have before (or perhaps werenโ€™t paying attention to). E.g. Allergies to wheat, nuts, legumes, soy, spices
  • Changed sleeping patterns, i.e. you sleep more or experience more disrupted sleep, often causing insomnia
  • Vivid dreams โ€“ your dreams become scary, bizarre or intense
  • Dizziness โ€“ feeling lightheaded as a result of being ungrounded during the day
  • Weight change โ€“ either gainingย or losing a lot of weight
  • Changed eating habits โ€“ what you once liked eating no longer appeals to you. Also, you may crave to experiment with other foods that youโ€™ve never tried/liked
  • Fluctuations in energy โ€“ feeling less energized than you used to
  • Decreased or increased sex drive
  • Decreased immune function (more illness) and eventually increased immune functioning

It is uncommon to experience all of these physical-spiritual awakening symptoms at once (one or two is more likely). If you have noticed a rapid change in your health during this period, it might be due to the drastic change in your mind-body-soul connection. If no logical everyday reason can be found (such as prior illness, family stress, injury, relationship meltdown, etc.) donโ€™t rule out a more metaphysical explanation.

If youโ€™d like to confirm that youโ€™re going through a spiritual awakening, feel free to take ourย Spiritual Awakening Test.

3 Spiritual Awakening Myths

Thereโ€™s a lot of information out there on the internet about spiritual awakening symptoms, what spiritual awakening actually is, and so forth.

As someone who has undergone an awakening process and guided many others on theirย spiritual journeys, here are some of the top spiritual awakening myths out there:

Myth 1 โ€“ย Once you spiritually awaken, you becomeย instantly enlightened.ย Reality: Enlightenment, for most people, happens gradually in waves. We go through layers and cycles of shedding the past and growing into our โ€˜new skin.โ€™ In some rare cases, enlightenment (or union with ourย True Nature) happens just like that. But the awakening process is a slow and steady process ofย spiritual alchemyย for the vast majority of people.

Myth 2 โ€“ย Being spiritually awake means always experiencing love, light, and bliss.ย Reality: Yes, we might go through periods of love, light, and bliss. But these experiences are temporary: they come and go. Itโ€™s unrealistic to expect ourselves to only ever experience one kind of state as we are multi-faceted beings. And thatโ€™s okay.

Myth 3 โ€“ย Only a rare and elite variety of people experience awakening symptoms.ย Reality:ย Youโ€™d be surprised how many people have gone through spiritual awakenings. Itโ€™s not an experience thatโ€™s reserved for the โ€˜elevated,โ€™ rich, or โ€˜specialโ€™ people. It can happen to literallyย anyoneย inย anyย circumstance.

Let me know if Iโ€™ve missed out on any spiritual awakening myths in the comments below!
