Spiritual awakening – the journey to your true self
Spiritual awakening is an inner process in which we begin to see ourselves, life, and the world around us with new eyes. It is as if a veil is lifted: suddenly we realize that we are more than just bodies, thoughts, and roles - that a deep, timeless essence lives within us. This moment can happen gently and gradually, or it can occur as a sudden breakthrough that changes everything.
Why does it happen?
The reasons for spiritual awakening are as individual as each person. Common triggers are:
- Life crises or major changes
- Intensive spiritual practice such as meditation or yoga
- Encounters with deeply inspiring people
- A feeling of inner emptiness, even though outwardly “everything is fine”
Awakening often happens when we are inwardly ready to question our previous worldview.
Emptiness is the gateway to something new
We are talking about one of the most intense experiences in the awakening process, in which nothing feels “right” anymore. Even things that were once important to you no longer touch you. This is frightening because we have learned that abundance and clarity should be the norm. But emptiness is not wrong. It is the vacuum before rebirth. The old identity falls away - and the new one has not yet formed.
Emptiness is like the space between two breaths. Between exhaling the old - and inhaling the new. When you learn to hold this emptiness without immediately filling it, space is created. And this space is where your true frequency can awaken.
Your nervous system is challenged
Your nervous system decides how much change you can hold. And awakening is nothing more than extreme inner change. If your system is permanently under stress, it will block the transformation. Not because you are not ready – but because you are overwhelmed.
That is why self-regulation is the most important step during this time: breathing exercises, grounding, slow movement, silence - all of these can help your system integrate the new frequencies. Awakening does not mean constantly “vibrating at a high frequency.” Awakening means feeling safe - within yourself, with yourself. Even in the midst of uncertainty.
Signs of spiritual awakening
- Increased awareness of thoughts, feelings, and energies
- Changed values—material things lose importance, meaning and connection become more important
- Feeling of deep unity with all life
- Inner peace even in difficult times
- Increased intuition and synchronicities in everyday life
These experiences can be accompanied by joy and lightness, but also by confusion or loneliness as old structures dissolve.
The path through change
Spiritual awakening is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process. You can accompany this process mindfully:
Meditation & mindfulness – to strengthen the inner observer.
Closeness to nature – to ground yourself and clear your energy.
Bodywork – yoga, breathing exercises, or dance help to release old tensions.
Keeping a journal – to reflect on your experiences and recognize patterns.
Spiritual community – exchanging ideas with like-minded people provides support and understanding.
Patience & self-compassion – awakening does not follow a fixed schedule.
Patience and self-compassion are crucial, because awakening happens in waves – with phases of opening and integration.
When everything falls away, your true self emerges
You will not recognize yourself during this phase. Your old self can no longer grasp you. And that is exactly how it should be, and you realize:
- You are not here to better understand the old version of yourself.
- You are here to grow into a whole new version of yourself.
It feels like chaos – but it is order on a deeper level. Because everything that is slipping away from you right now is making room for something much bigger: for your true self. For your essence.
This is not the end. It is your birth.
The gift of awakening
Ultimately, spiritual awakening leads to a life with more awareness, love, and clarity. We realize that we are not separate from the world, but an inseparable part of the greater whole. This realization gives us inner peace and the ability to live our lives authentically and in harmony with our deepest truth.
