An awakening is when you become aware of something, you make a connection for the first time. It is a realisation, or a recognition.

An 'awakening'

Not everyone will experience an awakening, but anyone who has an awakening, will know it’s there. It may not be something you personally experience, it can be something you learn about through someone else, or something you come to understand through spiritual growth.

It’s something you intuitively come to know. It’s a process where your eyes are opened after having had them shut for years. It’s also a process where you can see things for the first time, that you couldn’t or didn’t see; or something you were avoiding that needed to be addressed.

Experiencing life differently through an 'awakening'

Through an awakening, you experience life and the people in your lives, in a totally different way. For the first time you’re looking at people without rose-coloured spectacles and that can feel overwhelming.

It’s when you start looking at something in the whole, like the colours of the flowers, or you notice the birds singing for the very first time. Noticing and seeing people’s true colours can also be an awakening.

An awakening is based on a higher frequency

It's a new energy, working on a higher frequency, a realisation that can be quite refreshing for some, but overwhelming for others. An awakening is an important change we can all learn to embrace. It is a change easy to resist, but resisting simply causes pressure to build and that can leave you feeling overwhelmed.

Working on a higher frequency takes practice; the more you deal with how you feel, the less overwhelmed you should feel.

  1. Following and understanding how to use our intuition is difficult to do. Every now and again something comes to me, but I could do with using it more often.

    It doesn't always come to me when I need it.

    1. Thanks. Yes, as you say it's difficult to do, but with practice it does get easier.

      I know from experience, the easier it gets the more frequently you will use it. You won't want to be without it.
