'A spiritual awakening is a process where we come back to our original self and free ourselves from the ego.' - it was first popularised by Carl Jung, a famed psychiatrist.

A 'Spiritual Awakening'

Having a spiritual awakening helps us to become self-aware so we are able to focus and pay attention to ourselves; that's not the same as paying attention to ourselves through the ego. It is important to listen to the universe and ignore the ego.

Unhealthy attachments

Initial suffering can cause unhealthy attachments. To become more spiritual, it is important to let go of any unhealthy attachments. When we become spiritually aware, it is natural for our daily routine to change, for us to change.

The once important material possessions become less important, and those are replaced by new things, like wanting to spend more time in nature, changing your lifestyle so you clear the mental clutter. Becoming more intuitive is a sign of spiritual ascension. As a result, you start listening to your inner voice, a voice which until you learn to access it, is usually buried deep beneath the ego.

Living a more 'spiritual life'

Empathy and compassion have both long been associated with spirituality. Also, a spiritual awakening is something we can all acquire. An awakening, is living a more ‘spiritual life,’ being able to see the good in others, being more accepting towards what others want to do and giving-back. Being able to see the whole of anything, also not standing in judgment or passing an opinion.

Living presently

Being spiritual means you become more aware, as you become more tuned into the present moment. Your auditory perceptions increase, your focus increases, so does your ability to focus on hearing lower frequencies that you couldn’t hear before.

Fitting into your life

A spiritual awakening means you fit into your life that you are happy with the choices you make and the actions you take. Spirituality, if continued to be practiced, not only enhances your life, but also enhances the life of others.
