Birth, Infant and Toddler Stages
There is a longing that nags you off and on. The restlessness and interrupted sleep only adds to the yearning. There doesn't seem to be anyone close to you that truly understands what you're going through. In fact, they've advise you to see a doctor. No doubt you're going through the change. Or you just need to get out more. Or maybe try this new diet or that new diet. You go to the doctor, they tell you there isn't anything physically wrong with you. Or they tell you you just need to get more exercise and rest. You go to a mental health specialist and they can't offer you any assistance that really rings true in your heart. This is not to say these professionals aren't good at their jobs.* No. They're very good. But they aren't getting it. They're just not getting what's happening to you.
Deep down you know it's more than hormones. It's more than what's going around. And Yes, you're going through a change. But not the kind modern medical science acknowledges. You're not going crazy. You're not imagining any of it. Get quiet, listen to your body. Allow yourself to be guided by that inner knowing. You're not alone. Just remember that.
When you are able to sleep you are bombarded by strange dreams. Some of which look like a really bad science fiction movie. It's okay! You're not being haunted by ghosts or demons. It's all part of the process. There is so much you have taken in over the years. The news reports, the every day experiences that leave you stressed and annoyed. Your dreams are just a way for your mind to release and act out what it has taken in during your waking state. Keep a journal. Even if you can't remember the dream itself, write down the feelings the dream(s) left you with. Don't forget to put the date down. It'll serve a purpose later on.
This is the birthing stage of your awakening process. You will find your levels of discomfort shift from the subtle to extreme. This of course adds to the now ever present irritation. Remember to use whatever relaxation method that works for you on a daily basis. The more relaxed you are...the quicker you can get through the various levels of the process.
Things that never bothered you now irritate you and you don't understand why. You keep wondering if people were always that stupid and inconsiderate. Once, not too long ago, it didn't bother you. You ignored it. Just let it slide. But now...now it really annoys you. You can no longer tolerate the insanity that you are now consciously aware of. It's okay. Your awareness is expanding and the adjustment is a bit unsettling in the beginning. It does get better.
You throw a temper tantrum over things that make no sense to anyone. Not even to you. You stay on line hoping to find others like you. Sometimes you luck out and find online groups who are like you. But that too is short-lived. So you find yourself spending a lot of alone time. Use this alone time to get to know YOU. Keep a journal of your feelings. Remember to date the entries. This will help you see how far you have come later on.
If you feel the need to rant, write your rant out and email it to yourself. Or start a blog! My rants are legendary. Not to mention, comical! Most importantly, they show me how far I have come. So again, keep those journals! You'll be glad you did!

The Infant and Toddler stages of your awakening process gets intense as your awareness grows. During this particular level of awakening, you will find yourself acting out in ways you never dreamed. Testing boundaries like an enraged two year old, you becoming demanding one minute and then shirking away the next. Jealousy and possessiveness rears it's ugly head when you least expect it. You don't want to share what you have or what you know. Deep down you know it isn't polite or loving or kind. But something in you just doesn't care. It's yours and yours alone. Let "them" get theirs and leave you be. Sound familiar? It's okay really! We all go through this at one point during our awakening. It does get better! You do calm down! Things that never bothered you now irritate you and you don't understand why. You keep wondering if people were always that stupid and inconsiderate. Once, not too long ago, it didn't bother you. You ignored it. Just let it slide. But now...now it really annoys you. You can no longer tolerate the insanity that you are now consciously aware of. It's okay.

This is not a race of any kind! You will reach maturity in your own divine timing!
Every single person is where they are suppose to be ... when they are suppose to be ... at the exact moment they are suppose to be -- Doing and acting as they are suppose to be!
Whatever stage you find yourself in always remember to be Kind to Your SELF!
Whatever stage you find yourself in always remember to be Kind to Your SELF!
