Having an Inner Awakening

“Having an inner awakening is not about changing who you are, it’s about embracing who you truly are now and discovering who you can become”. – Jodi Valdes

An inner awakening is the realization that who you are is enough and realizing that you have the answers that you are seeking within you. It is a process where you connect to your inner knowing and align with your soul so that your spirit shines through. You begin to accept yourself on a new level of consciousness that includes honoring your gifts, talents and inner wisdom.

You learn how to navigate the challenges of your ego, your worries, your stresses, and negative feelings in everyday life. You begin to exchange it for inner peace and calm through the act of discovering your true self and unleashing your potential. This occurs when you are fully aware of your conscious being, feelings of connection to the world and when you begin to feel empowered to achieve your inner greatness.

Having an inner awakening is possible for anyone and everyone.

Anyone and everyone has access to this enlightened consciousness. What hinders most of us from achieving this, is the level of awareness we have of our true selves.

Awareness may come naturally and gradually through training and meditation, but for some, it can come suddenly and powerfully through a moment of intense clarity. Whether it comes to you as a vision of clarity or as a slow process, the journey of awakening is unique to everyone. It can happen to you at any moment. Let’s explore what having an Inner Awakening might look like and feel like.

It makes sense that you could have one, some, or all of these signs when having an Inner Awakening.

1. Questioning Things About Yourself and Your Life

This is the time when you start to question the things that you’ve been doing in your life. Some people are stuck in a cycle of work/sleep, work/sleep. You begin to question what you are doing with your life and how truly happy you really are. You begin to question your goals and set new ones. This is the moment when you become aware of your present self.

2. Feeling More Confident to Be More of Who You Really Are

Oftentimes you try to present yourself with how you want the world to see you. It can be in the way you dress, the brands you prefer, your political alignment, or how you spend your time and money etc. Inner Awakening starts when you becoming aware of how you are defining yourself. You have more courage to express yourself in ways that make you happy and you enjoy the freedom of creative expression. You no longer desire to be defined by limiting traits. Instead, you realize how your experiences have shaped your thoughts and actions. You desire to express yourself in your own unique way.

3. Wanting More of a Connection to Others

The feeling of connection to others in your surroundings can manifest itself in you in many ways and at any moment. And it will come to you in the form of a deepened empathy. It is like an urge to help others and make a bigger difference and positive impact in the world. It all starts with a simple act of kindness and then builds from there.

4. Desire To Have a Life of Inner Peace

Inner peace is not an absence of pain or suffering, it is a lack of overthinking and dwelling on events both past and present. It is a state of freedom from the burden of carrying so many heartaches and tribulations. From this freedom, you are able to think more clearly and level headed with each new experience. Wanting to find inner peace from the noise created from emotional turmoil is a sign of having an inner awakening.

5. Seeking a Higher Level of Overall Wellness

As a person on the path of inner awakening, you will find your life flooded with new opportunities to improve your health and extend your lifespan. Your diet may evolve to include foods that you were not eating in the past and now you feel like tasting new cuisines. You may also feel the urge to move your body more often and explore more of the outdoors. Also, you may seek out new ways to better manage stress for self-care.

6. Having a New Awareness of Your Healing Abilities

Having an inner awakening means you are tapping into the part of yourself that knows you are here on Earth to help others in your own unique way with your own unique gifts. It is about having the courage and confidence to know you are worthy of sharing your gifts with the world. It is up to you to take a stand for yourself, acknowledge your healing abilities and step out of your comfort zone to live your life’s purpose.

7. Seeking Your Spiritual Path

Seeking a deeper relationship to God, Spirit, Source or the Creator than you currently have is a sign of having an inner awakening. You want a deeper connection to your spirituality. You come to the understanding that many paths lead to God and you honor each person’s choice. You may experiment with attending various spiritual practice services in the hope of finding a community that resonates with you. Finding and walking your spiritual path is very powerful and empowering.

In conclusion:

Although it is called an “Inner awakening,” it is more of a spiritual journey. It is your journey of self-reflection and learning to reconnect with everything around you and live in the present.
