"Which Of The 7 Stages of Spiritual Awakening Did You Experience?"

Awakening To Your Full Potential 

Spiritual seekers who are on the path to re-enlightenment tend to fall into one of the following seven categories. 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. At whichever stage you find yourself, trust that you are exactly where you need to be at this time. Also know that if you repeat a certain stage, you are helping to solidify the lesson. 

1. The Catalyst 
A life-change, paradigm-shifting event jolts you awake. Alternatively, a series of gentler, minor awakenings occur until you are fully awake and aware. 

Example Events:

• Near-death experience
• Life-threatening illness
• Depression, break-down
• Spirit visitation
• Meeting one’s soulmate

Typical Emotions:

• Disbelief, shock and awe: Having a hard time believing it happened
• Fear: Not understanding what’s happening

2. A Shift in Perception 
You begin to see things differently and that alters how you perceive your life. 

Example Events:

• Job dissatisfaction
• Relationship issues / Longing for Soulmate
• Desire to move / Needing a change of scenery
• Loss of interest in hobbies
• Questioning the status quo

Typical Emotions:

• Discomfort: Your life no longer feels like it ‘fits’ you.
• Confusion: You’re unclear about what is happening, and you don’t know how to deal with it.

3. Journey of Discovery 
Your field of awareness expands, and new information streams in. 

Example Events:

• Synchronicities
• Premonitions and hunches come true
• Prophetic dreams and visions
• Seeing and hearing things that others don’t

Typical Emotions:

• Thrills and Chills: Feeling titillated, but also a bit frightened, each time you connection with the spirit realm
• Isolation: Not feeling comfortable sharing your experiences with friends and family, and not knowing where to turn for help or guidance

4. Seeking to Understand

• Seeking likeminded individuals with whom to share your experiences
• Going to psychics/intuitives for readings
• Attending classes and workshops
• Traveling to sacred places (i.e. Sedona, Manchu Picchu, Stonehenge)
• Seeking your true purpose

Typical Emotions:

• Excitement, joy, exhilaration: Craving more experiences, and wanting to share your experiences
• Impatience: Feeling like you can’t learn fast enough

5. Developing Your Spiritual Gifts 
You begin to consciously seek a deeper connection with Source. 

Example Events:

• Meditating

Typical Emotions:

7. Reintegrating with Your Soul
You begin to manifest a life that is in true alignment with your highest self.
