Recently on the internet I discovered some lists of spiritual awakening signs (sometimes also called spiritual awakening symptoms). The lists I’ve come across so far are vague and unclear (for example: headaches and body aches, feeling like you’re on an emotional roller coaster “for no reason”, changes in energy levels, sleep patterns , jobs and/or relationships, weight gain or loss, even an itchy scalp, all seemingly for no reason), so I decided to make my own list of what I understand to be the most essential and relevant signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening. The following is a list of nine things that I experienced during the awakening process:

1. Synchronicities that are meaningful to you. (This helps point you in the right direction or helps generate an important new perspective.)
2. Intensely painful life “changes” that you can’t explain or know how you’ll get through. (This ensures that you will look within for the answers. Note that “change” is often a polite way of saying “loss.”)
3. All-consuming internal contemplation, followed by possible belief reassessment, especially at 3 or 4 in the morning (often triggered by events or things you cannot explain using your current belief systems or knowledge).
4. Receiving “secret messages” from people who don’t know they are sending you special messages. (If they had known, they may have hesitated, and sometimes the spirit just doesn’t want to take chances.)
5. Having the same thing happen to you (especially something that is unusual) two or three times in a relatively short period of time, like, say, 24 hours. (This ensures that you will actually notice what your higher self wants you to notice.)
6. Waking up in the middle of the night feeling intense confusion. (This means that his beliefs are being re-evaluated. Before he becomes clear and solid in his new awakened state, he will no doubt find himself going through a period of deep confusion.)
7. Favorable synchronicities that happen regularly. (You can expect this to happen after you follow regularly with your inner guidance.)
8. Intense, vivid dreams that seem to point you in a certain direction. (The further along you are in the process, the clearer your dreams will be and the more they will help guide you in your daily life. The dreams will be in the form of a metaphor, often in metaphors that make sense to you.)
9. Find yourself laughing more often. (Sometimes you’ll wake up in the middle of the night, think about something deep that’s also funny, and then laugh out loud. This isn’t a joke. Your higher self is playful and wants you to have fun while you wake up.)

Experiencing any (or all) of these signs means spirit (your higher self) is trying to get your attention! Also, the spirit is playful and wants you to enjoy the awakening process (it’s not just about pain and drama, but about enlightenment, about becoming joyful). You will also be amazed at the creativity of your higher self.

Remember, the fast track to spiritual awakening does not depend on the fame or fortune you were born with (or currently possess), or how many advanced degrees you have, but rather how much you are willing to (temporarily) give up. your comfort zones for the noble purpose of personal and spiritual growth. This is important because it is your individual growth that is of paramount importance at this crossroads in humanity’s collective evolution. Also remember that the signs and symptoms you are experiencing are not just signs or symptoms; is it so designed to help you in the process of spiritual awakening.
