Spiritual Awakening is a Path and Process

Looking for a Breakthrough.

The astrological energies looked good. The synchronicities looked good. I felt good. But no breakthroughs. No material changes to my life situation. In fact, if anything, it got a little bit worse. 

I affirmed that I “can do hard things”. I affirmed that when I am between a rock and a hard place, “I flow like water”. I released all that was no longer serving, what no longer resonated, and what was no longer needed or desired on my path. 

What I was left with is the emotion of disappointment. Then I work through that too. I acknowledged the emotion of disappointment. I felt it and let it go. 

No matter what I do, my life situation is not improving. I am aligned with my path, which is a good thing. But that doesn’t mean it is easy. 

For years Spirit and soul have shown me and prepared me for a life that has yet to arrive. And I admit that I ache for it. I guess that means they have prepared me well. But it aches to be able to see the new life and not be able to live it. Not yet at least.

It is said that the need for something creates an unhealthy attachment. I asked my soul if I was expressing an unhealthy attachment to a life that wasn’t mine yet. The answer was an intuitive “no”. I affirmed that I “am where Spirit and soul want me to be”. 

Then, to make sure I was doing all I could, I began to affirm the life Spirit and soul have been preparing me for. I consciously chose that life, just in case there were any questions about my intentions. 

Then I ask for the next right step forward towards that vision for my life. What I received was the next right step, but it wasn’t what I was hoping for. I received another cycle of releasing, healing, and growth. 

And, yes, I know that our spiritual awakenings are primarily about healing and growth. And, yes, I know that means a lot of inner work. But, quite frankly, I am tired and I need a break. Not just a break as in time to rest. But I also need a break in terms of something good happening for me. 

I need a breakthrough. A material change that makes things better for me.

The Path and Process.

Our spiritual awakenings are a path and a process. It sounds like such a simple thing, but our spiritual paths also have a direction. The visions that Spirit and soul show us have many purposes. They afford us opportunities to heal and grow. They allow us to choose our path consciously. They allow us to exercise our free will which ensures our movement forward along our path. 

When the vision matches our vibration it’s alignment. So everything in between Spirit and soul’s vision for our life and our conscious choice is to what needs to be healed and grown. We will be nudged into healing all that doesn’t align or resonate with the life we are meant to live. The life our soul came to experience. 

So, when we experience those very human kind of days when things don’t seem to be going right or that one extra challenge tips us over the edge from peace into shadow, let it be. 

Let it be the path towards healing, growing, and preparing for that vision. Move through the cycles knowing that all is in preparation for the vision that we are shown. And, when things become most challenging, remember that it is all in our favor. Even when it feels like a really hard phase in our life. 

It’s all just part of the path and process.

Some days will feel like flow and some days will feel like blockage. Some days will feel like a void and some days will feel like we cannot do any more. Some days we cry and release. Some days we laugh and celebrate.

We can expect almost anything during our spiritual awakenings and spiritual paths. And we can’t always predict what we will receive or what our days will be like. We can, though, wake up in the morning and allow for all possibilities.

We can go with the flow and allow for all things whether we are early in our awakening process and moving slowly or years into our process and moving like wildfire. We can surrender and allow the path and the process to guide us towards the vision for our lives carried by Spirit and soul.

Life feels differently when we are flowing and attracting rather than chasing or forcing. Adjusting to this new way of living is a challenge within itself. Learning to let go and let it come to us is a very different way of being than we are all taught by society and culture. 

For those of us awakening, hustle culture no longer exists. We are instead asked to flow, release, let go, attract, and let Spirit. Our awakening processes are reconditioning, reprogramming all that we learned to serve capitalism in order to serve the collective. 

It is a process. One that moves forward at a pace not set by us, but set by Spirit and soul. One that is getting us ready for the vision that Spirit and soul show us. One that is preparing us to live and fulfill our purposes. One that is preparing us to live a spiritual life. 

The astrology and the synchronicities weren’t wrong. The vision that Spirit and soul have for my life wasn’t a lie. My human nature, my ego mind, misread the timing. I had hoped that breakthroughs were imminent, but was reminded that my spiritual awakening path and process are Divinely timed.
