Seasons of Awakening

Just as nature has seasons, so do our spiritual awakenings. We experience cycles and phases of change and growth. We experience cycles and phases of new beginnings, integration, release, and dormancy.

Some seasons may last for a day and some last years. Some seasons overlap while we evolve the various aspects of our lives. Some seasons occur in Divine succession as we heal and grow. All seasons come in Divine timing.

Each season, cycle, phase, brings something new. Each brings its own love, wisdom, abundance, prosperity. The challenge of awakening is to honor those cycles and what they bring to us. Honor each season and all that they provide. 

Spring. 

There are seasons when our awakening processes when new beginnings arise from dormancy. Changes occur and new life springs up within and around us. 

Breakthroughs occur and bring new awareness. We see things with fresh perspectives. Which then brings new opportunities to move forward in our awakening.

The spring season brings fresh energies and new blessings. It adds to the love, wisdom, abundance, and prosperity of our awakening process and our lives.

Summer. 

During the summer seasons of our awakening, the pace slows down, and we are meant to experience our lives as they are. We experience our lives with the awareness of the prior season.

We are meant to further integrate the awareness that was gained. We begin to settle into our lives. We feel like ourselves again. Enjoy who and what we have grown into. 

As ourselves again, and with clear vision, we begin to see what no longer resonates. We see what is ready to be released. Then, we enter another season of change.

Autumn. 

The prior season has taught us, or reminded us, who we are and then we begin to evolve again. We see and feel what no longer resonates. Those aspects begin to fall away, die back.

We release what is ready to leave our lives and what needs to leave our lives. We release the energies, people, places, things that no longer resonate. We let go of what needs to go. 

As well as releasing, we also make conscious choices to keep what aligns. We lean into what works for us. The seasons have taught us who and what we are and we move forward again.

Winter.

There are also seasons of dormancy. A sacred pause. A time to go inward and connect more deeply with ourselves. Integrating our healing and growth.

We fulfill the needs within. We make time with ourselves, with our soul. We listen inward to discern our path and process. We create peace and clarity within. 

Like the garden, we go dormant, but still grow. We set roots and deepen our reach inward. We evolve and become more closely aligned with our path and purpose.

Purpose.

There are seasons of new beginnings, integration, release, and dormancy. Each season serves a purpose. Each is a part of our evolution. Each one is asking to be honored to fulfill our awakening path and process.

The timing of the seasons is unique to each of us. They may last days, weeks, months, years. They may overlap as we evolve various aspects of ourselves concurrently. They may line up and come one after the other in a natural succession.

In all seasons, Divine timing is guiding our path. By honoring our season, our path, we are allowing Divine timing to move us forward. We flow through our awakening process and towards each purpose we are to fulfill. It is the honoring that allows all to occur just as it should. 

Each season is required to fulfill our purpose. That unique blend of who we are and what we are here to do. Each version of ourselves, each purpose is fueled by the seasons we have experienced and the season we are currently experiencing.

All seasons are required during our spiritual awakening. Each brings a unique wisdom. Each is asking to be experienced and honored. Each is necessary for the process of becoming who we were meant to become and to fulfill the purposes we are meant to fulfill. 

Seeking Purpose? 

I wrote the Finding Your Soul Purpose blog series after I realized that I had been fulfilling many of my own purposes. (Yes, we all have multiple purposes.)

The series includes actionable steps, spiritual practices, and tips that can help you discover your soul’s purposes.
