What is a Self-Awakening?

This month it is time to wake up from the fatigue of winter and hibernation. Usually, at this time of year, I start to feel a bit more energized, and embrace the changing season. However, I feel that it is often more than a change in temperature or weather - something in me awakens! This feeling brought me to the concept of self-awakening experiences: what manifests them, the nature of awakenings, and their psychological effects. What does being awake really mean?

First, I would like to touch upon the basics of self-awakenings, and what they can mean for all of us.

The definition of self-awakening is a hunger for growth or a spark of motivation. 

There are ways that you can inspire self-awakening, but normally this burst of transformation comes from within - and we may not be aware of it at first. In my opinion, a self-awakening is our spirit’s way of saying, “it’s time!”. Now, you may ask, it’s time for what exactly, but the truth is that it depends on you!

Secondly, let’s discuss all the different ways some people can experience their awakening - 

Spiritual Energy Awakening: You are reevaluating and changing the connection between your body, mind, and soul. If you are looking for some guidance or inspiration, check out my meditative techniques for your awakening journey.

Mindful Awakening: Shifting your thought patterns and awareness of your mental health and state. Perhaps even a change in your belief system.

Soulful Awakening: Not to be confused with Mindful, this kind of awakening focuses on your ethics, not just your personal beliefs. What you view as just or unfair will take on a new perspective.

New Personality Awakening: This awakening will have you questioning your individual path and endeavors, as well how you connect with the people in your life.

The Mystical Awakening: A deep transfer of energy and change to our internal selves and how we connect to the world around us. This one takes a bit longer to explain as it centers around our cosmic self and identity.


Throughout this month we will go deeper into these concepts of what the signs of self-awakenings are, and how they will impact your life in the long run. Together we delve into what it truly means to be awake, and how to be a conscious participant in your own life


As we journey into the significance of self-awakenings, I would like to take this moment to introduce you to one of the tools I use to look deeper within myself: reading tarot. Reading tarot cards helps me gain clarity and connect with my spiritual wants and needs.
