Spiritual Awakening & A Few of its Forms

The process of awakening spiritually is rarely a linear one. For most it is a process that spans years if not decades. I speak and teach from both my personal experiences as well as those of the thousands that I’ve had the honor of working with, helping & supporting over the past decade. I aim here, to teach and norm some of what you may be experiencing yourselves.

When we awaken spiritually — we are evolving as humans and raising our vibration. We are growing more conscious as individuals and all of our bodies are affected (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual to name just a few of our many bodies). The process occurs for us to grow individually and also to align with more conscious collective energies as well.

Foremost – this process isn’t simple and looks as individual as we are. Any medical and psychological experiences are best dealt with by physicians & psychologists. Please don’t ever substitute spiritual guidance for professional help when warranted.

The following is a list (neither exhaustive nor comprehensive) of experiences that can occur during the spiritual awakening process:

  • Sleep Pattern Changes — feeling exhausted even after ten hours of sleep or waking in the middle of the night for a few hours, disrupted circadian rhythms are common during spiritual awakening
  • Dietary Changes — a desire to drop certain foods, aversions and cravings, feeling full quickly or ravenous at other times. A sudden sensitivity to caffeine? Losing a desire to consume alcohol? These are all common during spiritual awakening.
  • Relationship Shifts — feeling more or less joy in relationships, suddenly feeling drawn to certain people and no longer desiring to spend time with others, desiring connection over shared experiences — yep. You are awakening spiritually.
  • Perspective Shifts — you may begin to view not only people differently but your own views, ways of spending time, reasons for doing things in your life, motivations and truth. Your perspective is expanding with this process.
  • Sensing Energy — you may become more sensitive to the energy of people places and things as you hadn’t before. Suddenly feeling anxious, feeling as though energy is pulsing through you, temperature shifts, tingling and buzzing sensations throughout your body, or feeling both the denseness of your body and lightness of your soul simultaneously. Our physical body is our best divining rod.
  • Emotional Sensitivity — as we awaken and evolve, your emotional bodies are healing and growing. This can contribute to feeling things more deeply, having old wounds emerge to be healed in new ways, experiencing empathy for others more deeply and feeling more apathy. Feeling higher levels of joy and deeper flavors of sorrow can be common too.
  • Psychic Skills coming on-line — we all have a pineal gland in our brains that is comprised of rod and cone cells (just like our eyes) — making it a literal, third eye in our brains. How these psychic skills awaken is individual. This aspect of the spiritual awakening process can include changes with your dreams, seeing more orbs and flashes of light, hearing phrases and (positive) directions in the back of your head much like an earworm, sensing people’s thoughts before they speak, sensing what is about to happen, etc.
  • Time Slips — you may lose time, feel as though time is speeding up or slowing down.
  • Attention Shifts — you may feel as though your attention is fractured across many dimensions. It likely is. As we expand in our awakening, we are learning to expand out of this dimension and into many others, simultaneously. Lack of focus and hyper-focus can occur in this area too.
  • Ear Business — you may experience tinnitus, ear itching & congestion, tones, sound sensitivity and the like. As we awaken spiritually, so do our chakras including our ear chakras.
  • Eye Business — flashes of light, orbs, metallic looking objects, increased color vibrancy, more vivid visions both in daily life and dreamstates — these all can be common during your awakening. You may begin to see spirit in many forms or may see more in your mind’s eye during meditation.
  • Sign & Synchronicities — Seeing and making connections between various signs and synchronicities, realizing how connected these are to your life and experiences, understanding that the Universe is co-creating with you through these signs & synchs is a hallmark of spiritual awakening. Repeating number sequences is a part of this also.
  • Sudden Desire for Change — you may decide to get healthier, start exercising, feel drawn to new areas of learning and study, desire to be in nature more, begin practicing meditation or yoga, desiring to create an altar or pray, or feel impelled to create and express.
  • What feels Satisfying changes — you may suddenly lose interest in TV, politics, news, materialism, etc. Don’t be surprised if that five year plan gets aborted for a new one or you feel called to be of service over getting that promotion. Remember that you are awakening and your sources of satisfaction will too.
  • Existential Wrestles — questioning everything is inherent in this process. Including why we are here, how we can and do contribute and what it all means in the cosmic scheme of things. You may suddenly feel more connected to others and also disconnected from old ways of being.

Ascension/Spiritual Awakening 101


For the past number of years, there have been so many terms and concepts thrown around, you’ve likely heard them even if you sit in the most conservative and main stream parts of the world.  Someone asked me recently, “What’s all this buzz about Ascension, Ascension Symptoms, Awakening/Spiritual Awakening and its symptoms?” It seemed like a nice cue from spirit to jump onto the blog and say a bit about this topic.

Most of these phrases may sound or feel pithy, vague or flakey to many.  And they can be – if you don’t realize the gravity that they can have in your life.  Most who find their way to this blog are interested.  If you are choosing to stay asleep or not to ascend, you likely aren’t reading this.

Ascension is a concept that refers to our energetic body, our spirit, raising its rate of vibration.  Everything is energy and is always in motion. As spirits in human bodies, our vibrational rate of our spirit changes with our choices in life.  So to ‘Ascend’ or ‘Mind or Raise our vibration’ —  we are cleaning up all things human – meaning our thoughts, emotions, choices and how we treat our physical bodies. 

We don’t ‘Ascend’ to a state that is out of our body to suggest death or dying.  We ascend right here, in our human bodies. How do we do so?  By bringing consciousness to our lives. 

We manage our Ascension or Spiritual Awakening by making choices that feel good.  Choices that do good.  It’s relative and personal for all of us – you are the best decider of what those choices mean for you. 

Often, especially in the past few years as the planet is raising its consciousness – our Awakening or Ascension symptoms can feel like they are trying to manage us or change us, lol!  It is common for people to shift their perspectives on foods that they used to love, habits that have grown old or tired, and to look at their relationships with people differently.  It is common to grow more sensitive in all capacities – including opening up to being more psychic.  The strongest constant in this human life is change.  So I say – roll with the changes and choose accordingly.

A best practice for Ascension or Spiritual Awakening is to bring consciousness to your process by bringing more love to the situation.  By bringing more love and kindness to you. Another is to bring more consciousness to each choice that you make.  To borrow from the ubiquitous, Marie Kondo – approach a choice in your life and ask if it sparks joy in you?  If not, it may be time for a change.  Start with yourself and feel yourself rise!

How does your intuition speak to you?

How does your intuition speak to you? As a denizen of first world, western culture — I find that the world ignores the unseen realms for the most part. As I’m told and shown by my guidance system — 90% of reality is unseen. So if only 10% of this reality is what we see, hear, sense on any given day, how are you tapping into the unseen, the ethereal — your intuition?

Our intuition is speaking to us always. Yes, at times it is quiet. Mostly — we have so much stress, static & stimulation happening that we miss it. Our intuition is subtle! Getting quiet and slowing down are great ways to turn towards this super-powered constellation of senses, our intuition.

One of the most important aspects of realizing that our intuition is speaking to us — is sorting out our baseline of calm, non-anxiety riddled, a non-stressed state. While learning to listen to your intuition — start from that calm baseline.

From that calm state, ask your intuition to speak to you. To start, ask for it to speak to you for the next week. Additionally, ask for specific signs/ways for it to come through. Examples could be: pink butterflies, a blue ox, waves, number sequences with 5’s, tacos, tridents, golden chalices — it almost doesn’t matter how or what you specify you’d like to hear from your intuition — point is you are directing it and giving it a week to come through for you.

Now — you go about your life, stay positive and open to how it will show up. Pay attention to songs, stickers, billboards, license plates, words that come from others, peoples’ names who you meet and deal with, dreams, visions, thoughts that come in out of the blue, ideas that pop into your head as inspiration while you are focused on a task or workout, etc.

Make note when your symbols show up! Jot them down in a journal (electronic or hard copy) and express gratitude for your intuition speaking to you. At the end of the week, reflect upon how it showed up. From the ways it came through — visually (clairvoyance), through song or spoken words or sounds (clairaudience), ideas and thoughts (telepathy & claircognizance), feelings (clairempathy) or physical sensations (clairsentience).

This exercise over a week’s time can show you how the unseen realms and your intuition are speaking to you! Enjoy and feel free to leave your results in the comment section below!


I’ve been going through a break-up this month…

empath-2

I’ve been going through a breakup this month… a breakup with a 20 year old habit.

As I break up with the one – replete with the on-again and off-again qualities that we’ve all experienced around breaking up with people, I’m examining other old habits as well.

It really doesn’t matter what the habit is – it can be self-judgment, a particular view of or relationship with food/alcohol/caffeine, procrastination – it does not matter what form the habit takes. It isn’t necessarily a ‘negative’ or ‘unhealthy’ habit either – this is about examination of and opening up to ways that may serve our souls more deeply and allow us to serve the world more expansively.

What I’m loving about this process is the level of examination that is taking place.

None of it goes as deeply as you may imagine – which is the beauty of this.

I arrived at this place, out of the blue really, but certainly while listening to my intuition. I noticed when I went to engage with this habit, somewhere around the end of January, my desire/motivation/attitude towards this behavior felt different to me. I’m a big ‘feeler’, you see, being a strong Empath (go here for more information on being an Empath https://energyintuit.wordpress.com/2014/03/29/empathy-vs-intuitive-or-psychic-empathy/)

What I began to do then, was to treat these shifted feelings as new friends and turn them over like fall leaves deserving much attention for their vibrancy and color. Simply observe them and then move on to new feelings that came with those and do the same.

I stayed out of analysis and judgment of me, my habit, my relationship to my habit – I merely observed it all as if I was getting to know a new person whom I knew nothing about.

As I really listened and watched, I learned that the absence of this habit – or the prospect of its absence, allowed for some beautiful spaces in my life and being to allow other things to take root. To allow other emotions, other high-vibrational states of being and feeling good, room for other intuitive messages to pop through.

I read recently that if we aren’t losing friends then we aren’t growing. I would re-frame it to say that if we aren’t changing our relationships to friends, habits, the world then we aren’t growing. We aren’t meant to stay in stagnant relationship to anything or anyone – we are meant to grow and change and evolve as spirits in human bodies.

You might examine a breakup with an old way for yourself. Get quiet, tune into your intuition and see what comes up in your life as wanting attention. It may be that some of your ways are up for transformation vs. an ending. Check it out. Enjoy the process!

How do you do what you do?

weaver of lifeHow to Do What?:

As a professional psychic, medium and energy healer, I get this question in many forms, often.   To begin, I use this explanation:

I refer to spirits, the psychic realms, energy, deceased people, spirit guides, etc. as all from the unseen realms. I described this/these unseen realms as ‘Spirit’. God, Universe, Higher Self, Collective Unconscious, Subconscious can all be subbed in for this phrase, ‘Spirit’ as well. You see, I do drop them all into one category, mostly to avoid esoteric discussion and philosophizing during a client’s session since I am on the clock, more to the point that titles and labels mean a bit less to me in the process as the information that wants to come through.

I am a channel, a vessel, a conduit for information and healing energies from Spirit. While I formally trained and practiced before opening my practice, this isn’t so much ‘what I do’ as ‘what I facilitate’ from Spirit.

We all have access to the sensitivities, information, healing.

It’s a matter of fine-tuning our perceptions, confidence and knowing. For some this process is simpler than for others. A certainty is that we all have to bring a huge dose of humility and a commitment to our own healing, if we are to step into healing and helping others by bringing through Spirit.

Sometimes clients will ask me, “How do you know you are speaking to Aunt Sue/my Spirit Guide/your Guide/God?” Great question and sometimes I’m given information for the client to hear and work to identify with, in terms of who is delivering the info through me – often, more often than not, I’m not given much identifying info and am required to work on faith in where and from whom/from which energy the information is coming from.

Lastly, so many people ask what are some ways to develop their own intuitive listening and knowing skills – meditation is key! Quieting the mind so that we may clear some static and deeply listen, is a crucial step. For more info meditation check out this blog post:
