Life After Spiritual Awakening: What No One Really Tells You

Life After Spiritual Awakening: What No One Really Tells You

There is a part in everyone’s spiritual enlightenment, awakening, and self-discovery journey that no one really tells you about. It’s the part where you come to realize that you might have had your life wrong this entire time. It’s like a newborn baby coming into this world full of hopes, dreams, and possibilities, except this time around, you know not to allow anyone else’s fears, insecurities, or projections to take away the peace you’ve worked so hard for.

It’s a second chance to finally get it right, with as much ease and simplicity as possible. It’s a beautiful journey of love, fighting for what is right, honouring yourself, standing boldly in your own power, and letting the pieces of yourself that weren’t really you in the first place fall away.

It’s an uncovering of the divine truth within, and that is quite possibly the most fascinating part of the whole journey. What you were searching for was never really outside of yourself, but rather within you this entire time. It’s a love so great, a peace so powerful, and a truth so miraculous that you can’t ever place a monetary value on it, for it’s priceless, and yet it was freely given to you at birth.

But along with this beautiful transformation journey, there are parts that aren’t so fun: scary parts, hard parts, heartbreaking parts, wounded and angry parts. They all must be felt and integrated with complete honesty and acceptance, and perhaps a great deal of endurance and trust, too.

Common Experiences After a Spiritual Awakening

1. There is an overwhelming sense of inner peace and calm. Urgency, rush, hurrying up, and hustling are no longer something you entertain.

2. You no longer resonate with things or people you used to enjoy.

3. You don’t know what to do with your life because the life you built before was entirely built on fear, hate or unhealed trauma wounds of rejection or abandonment.  

4. Finding a job you don’t really enjoy or want to do. Definitely a hard pass.  

5. There’s a loneliness phase and "boredom" phase. Not lonely in the sense that you are sad to be alone, in fact, you love being alone with yourself, but lonely in the sense that you haven’t fully met your kind of people yet, and bored because for most of your life you spent it either working, rescuing other people, fixing problems, trying to get ahead, proving yourself to others, explaining yourself to others, trying to change people or surviving. So thriving and being joyful, relaxed, and happy feels weird and foreign.

6. You’re exhausted. This is not the kind of exhaustion that comes with lacking sleep. In fact, it’s the bone-deep exhaustion that no good cup of coffee or energy drink can fix. This exhaustion comes for a few reasons and it does get a lot better after time, self-acceptance, and integration.
