Conception & Gestation
It occurs when you know there is more to life than what you see and experience in every day life. It happens in that very moment you begin to question all you were taught and everything you once accepted as truth no longer feels right. No longer feels true. Try as you might, this feeling doesn't go away. In fact, the more you try to ignore it, push it aside, cover it up with various distractions, that feeling grows stronger.
For those brought up in any kind of strict religious environment, this feeling can be most terrifying. You find yourself caught between your loyalties to your beliefs and the ever growing feeling that propels you forward. Out of love (and their own fears) those closest to you attempt to bring you back to your senses. And despite and in spite of your own fears, you continue on. Unsure of where it will all lead, unsure if in fact what you're feeling is real, you continue on. Why? Because something down deep says you must. Though the fog of uncertainty is thick, that something deep down inside of you prods you on. It is a solitary nudge that develops into a twinkling of having to know what it is--whatever it may be prompts you to continue on despite, and yes in spite of, all the fears that keep cropping up.

This is the conception of your spiritual awakening.
What happens next is very much like the beginning of a new life growing inside a mother's womb known as the gestation period. During this time, the microscopic nucleus now begins multiplying itself. Your spiritual awakening is now Energetically growing from within, stretching your physical awareness to the brink of insanity. The world around you, though familiar, takes on a strange new wonderful aliveness. All around you is a curiosity. Yet at the same time, you notice this odd detachment of old familiar places, things and yes, even people. You begin to notice too that the people in your life are starting to avoid you and/or you them. For some, their work no longer challenges them so they seek other employment, many times a job they've never considered before. Conversations with friends and seem uninteresting to you now. The little nudge that has been prodding you is now pushing you to seek out like minded individuals. Prompting you to seek out that seemingly unattainable knowledge to feed an unquenchable thirst and satisfy your unending hunger.
You start to notice a change in your physical body. These changes come in many forms. Food allergies is very common. Nothing to worry about. This is all part of the process. Certain tones and volumes of particular sounds begin to bother you. Nothing to be concerned about. All part of the process!
You will feel strong emotions one moment and in a flash you feel nothing at all. Not to worry! This too is all part of the process!
Whatever stage you find yourself in always remember to be Kind to Your SELF!
Keep In Mind ...
This is not a race of any kind! You will reach maturity in your own divine timing!
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!
*Disclaimer: ALWAYS check with a health care professional FIRST!
SPECIAL NOTE: many health care professionals are now using their own personal awakening experiences to help others going through the stages. We applaud these brave individuals for boldly moving forward and making the necessary changes in how people are treated.
