The 7 Stages of Spiritual Awakening - Which one did you experience?

Spiritual seekers who are on the path to re-enlightenment tend to fall into one of the following seven stages of spiritual awakening. Which of these spiritual awakening stages do you belong to? Read on to know.

A person can go through these levels in almost any order. That’s because we all awaken in our own way, at our own pace.

For instance, some people need multiple catalysts in order to fully own their spiritual power so they may continue to cycle back to the first level. Others may skip several stages and end up living the life their soul intended without having gone through the same trials.
