So you have come to understand that you are undergoing a spiritual awakening – now what? I’ll address the different aspects to it and recommendations and suggestions for you.
There are a myriad of physical symptoms that you may experience going through this process. First and foremost – always check with your medical team to rule out any physical health concerns.
In this article, I’ll address some of the physical symptoms that can be associated with spiritual awakening:
- Illness (nausea, flu-like symptoms, hives, etc.)
- Fatigue
- Odd sleeping patterns
- Food/alcohol sensitivities and cravings
- Feeling ungrounded/floating/dizziness
- Visual changes/anomalies
For the above-mentioned symptoms – I’ll address some causes and/or recommendations to assist with them.
1. Illness (flu-like symptoms, stomach issues/nausea, rashes/hives)
These can all be symptoms of the body purging out the denser emotions through the physical body. This can range in severity from person-to-person. Although this process can be uncomfortable, the purpose is to clear the physical body. The best recommendations are to take care of yourself – rest, drink plenty of water and let your body heal. I’d highly recommend against trying to ‘power through’ these symptoms when they occur. That will only delay your body’s need to heal.
2. Fatigue
This is by far the most common and most frustrating symptom to deal with. The fatigue is caused by the incoming energies which are packets of consciousness. These energies are being integrated into the body. They can only be integrated through sleep. Each person can take in only the amount of light/energy that they are able to handle. The fatigue can also be caused by you ‘leaving’ your body during sleep and ‘working’ in the other realms. So you may wake up not feeling rested at all. Unfortunately, the fatigue can also hit us mid-day when these energies come in. If you are unable to rest, resist the temptation to drink caffeine and instead try drinking spring water if available or herbal teas.
If you are able to – sleep! Even if it means ignoring chores or social activities. You are not being a slacker!! Your body needs the rest – so sleep. If your body needs 10 hours of sleep, then sleep 10 hours. This then leads us to the next symptom – odd sleeping patterns.
3. Odd sleeping patterns
This could be one of the first experiences that you have – waking up in the middle of the night and unable to go back to sleep. I am not sure exactly why this happens. Sometimes it is because of the incoming energies. It is definitely frustrating if you have a normal day time job. You will find your overall physical energy levels fluctuate greatly. You can go from extreme fatigue to having very high energy. The body is undergoing changes. Sleep is needed to integrate the energy – but I believe the processing of the energy may cause overall disruption of sleep patterns. You may feel a sudden need to nap during the middle of the day. If you are able to – by all means – take the nap!
4. Food sensitivities/alcohol/caffeine/food cravings
As your body raises its vibration through incorporating these packets of consciousness/light – the physical body can no longer tolerate lower vibrational foods and substances. Gluten, dairy, meat, alcohol, caffeine, preservatives/chemicals, GMO food, pesticide-laden food – these may all become intolerable to the physical body. The main thing to understand here is to observe when you start to feel bad due to ingesting a certain substance. You may begin to feel fatigue, nausea, develop hives or you may be unable to eat certain foods because you can now taste the chemicals, excess salt, etc. You may be unable to process alcohol anymore – you body may reject it altogether or you may become so sensitive that you can only drink a small amount. Caffeine may begin to make you super jittery or anxious. You may also just lose your tolerance altogether to caffeine.
For me – the most notable was I could taste the preservatives and chemicals in foods – so certain foods I could no longer tolerate. You may also find yourself craving certain foods. I would follow your own intuition in these instances. I craved tuna fish for every meal for at least a week at one point. I later came across someone who said that they craved sardines for every meal. These cravings will come and go – just go with the flow.
I would recommend adopting a high-vibe diet and incorporate these foods as much as possible – local, non-GMO, organic, raw and/or cooked with drink lots of fresh spring water.
5. Feeling ungrounded
One of the most unusual symptoms I have felt is feeling ungrounded. This makes you feel somewhat floaty, somewhat dizzy and very spaced-out. This is just one of the effects of your body raising its vibration. The best way to ground is to go outside and put your bare feet onto the ground and ground into the earth. You can also visualize a root extending from your own body down into the earth and taking root into the middle of the earth. You can also purchase crystals to assist with grounding – which is what I use to keep myself grounded. Some recommendations are: black tourmaline, shungite – or any black crystal really, red jasper, or hematite.

6 Visual changes/anomalies
Again – I will always recommend seeing a medically trained professional for any health concerns. I went to an eye doctor myself after experiencing some visual anomalies just to make sure nothing was physically wrong.
Some of the visual anomalies may include:
- Gloopy/blurry eyes
- Not being able to focus easily
- Seeing bright white flashes of light
- Seeing tiny white lights
- Seeing things out of the corner of your eyes
Some of these experiences are due to your 3rd eye opening – which I will cover in detail in another post for ‘psychic experiences.’
The other eye symptoms are caused by your physical body adjusting to a higher vibrational state and are part of the process.
7. “Leaky” ears/ringing high-pitched sounds
A symptom that I’ve experienced more recently – is the ‘leaky ear’ sensation. To me, it feels like a tickly sensation. So I find myself engaging in a little Q-tip war because I find it tickles the inside of my ears. From what I understand, this is due to 3rd eye opening. You may also find your ears ringing or hearing a high-pitched sound on occasion. It can vary from ear to ear, or it can be both at the same time. I believe this is due to you opening up to the other realms. For others – some can be more sensitive to the energy coming in – so they can hear it.
These are a few of the main physical symptoms that you may experience. In my next article – I’ll cover some of the emotional aspects.
What about you? What physical experiences have you had? Any helpful tools or remedies that you’d like to share? Please feel free to comment!
