How To Grow Spiritually
Understanding the Journey
Spiritual awakening is a unique and individual journey, much like a DNA spiral.
While the path is different for everyone, there are common elements or stages that many people experience. Understanding these stages can provide guidance and insight into your own spiritual growth.
"Spiritual awakening is a personal journey with common stages that can offer guidance and insight into your own spiritual growth, much like a unique DNA spiral."
Stage 1: Unconsciousness
This stage is characterised by a deep entanglement with the ego. Thoughts and emotions govern, and there is little conscious awareness.
Individuals in this stage may:
● React to life rather than actively shaping it.
● Feel a lack of control and become defensive, angry, or negative.
● Find it challenging to see others clearly, as perception is filtered through their own experiences and projections.
"Stage 1 of spiritual awakening, unconsciousness, is marked by being governed by the ego, with reactive emotions and limited awareness, making it difficult to shape life consciously or see others clearly."
Stage 2: Ego Death
Ego death is a profound breakdown of the ego. It involves a dismantling of the beliefs and labels that make up one's identity, such as gender, age, race, and beliefs. This process can lead to feelings of emptiness and detachment, but it also creates an internal space for the Observer self to emerge.
Stage 3: The Search
After ego death, individuals often embark on a quest for understanding and truth. They may turn to various sources for guidance, such as spiritual literature, teachers, and videos.
The search is driven by a desire to:
● Grasp the essence of who they are.
● Understand the meaning of life and the nature of God.
This phase is marked by an eagerness to absorb knowledge that aligns with their evolving understanding of self and the universe.
Stage 4: Emergence of the Authentic Self
This stage involves a profound shift away from pretence and a conscious acknowledgment of one's true nature.
Individuals may:
● Find it challenging to conform to societal expectations that no longer resonate with them.
● Experience significant life changes, such as leaving jobs or relationships that no longer serve their authentic self.
● Go through emotional roller coasters as old wounds and traumas resurface for healing.
Stage 5: Life of Alignment
The final stage of spiritual awakening is characterised by harmonious integration of every aspect of oneself with the world
. This includes a deep understanding and connection with oneself, the soul, the mind, and the body.
Individuals in this stage:
● Embrace their limitations and imperfections with self-compassion.
● Extend compassion and forgiveness to others.
● Recognise their interconnectedness with all existence.
Beyond Awakening: Living a Spiritually Awakened Life
Spiritual awakening is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new phase. It's where the real transformation happens, and life becomes more authentic and aligned with one's higher self.
Embracing the Changes
Life after awakening may feel calmer and less dramatic than during the awakening process. This is not a sign of regression, but rather a sign of integration. You may also experience physical changes as your body adjusts to your new energetic vibration.
Relationships and Connections
After awakening, you may find that you feel disconnected from some people in your life. This is because your vibration has changed, and you are no longer operating at the same frequency. The universe is creating space for new connections that align with your new vibration.
Purpose and Service
As your spiritual awakening ends, a new purpose begins to emerge. This purpose is often centred around service and helping others. You may feel a pull towards sharing your insights or creating something that reflects your higher vibration.
Heightened Sensitivity
One of the most notable changes after awakening is an increased sensitivity to energies. You may become more aware of the energy of people, environments, and even objects. Learning to manage this sensitivity is key to navigating life after awakening.
Highly sensitive people tend to have a very rich inner world. And this is to do with their physiology. You can read more about this here.
"Beyond spiritual awakening, the journey continues as life becomes more authentic and aligned with one's higher self, marked by integration, new connections, and an emerging purpose centred around service and heightened sensitivity to energies."
Find Yourself Feeling Grounded
Feeling Grounded is a stage of stabilisation where you feel more rooted in your spiritual truth. You are no longer seeking, but rather being. Your relationships deepen, your purpose becomes clearer, and you begin to manifest your desires more easily.
The Importance of the Journey
It's essential to remember that every stage of the spiritual awakening journey is important and serves a purpose. Embrace the challenges and the growth that each stage offers. Spiritual awakening is a lifelong process, and the journey itself is as important as the destination
I talk about spiritual growth in this video here.
Quite often, what is stopping our spiritual growth is the mental picture we have about ourselves. Also known as your self-image. This is something that has been conditioned into us. And the good news is, your self-image can be changed. Having spent so much time working on my self-image, I have put this into a process that is easy to follow. Click the link below to experience the self-image webinar, where you can copy this process too.

I look forward to connecting with you very soon.
Until then, be well and keep shining.
