Y’all should know by now that I love adding disclaimers. So here it goes. I am new to this spiritual thing, and I am still learning. I’m just sharing what I’ve learned so far.
For the last couple of years, I have been undergoing a spiritual journey. What’s crazy is I think I’ve gone through several spiritual awakenings, but I was more open to the “unseen” or supernatural” this time around.
Let me fill you guys in. Throughout my lifetime, I have had several paranormal experiences. I’ve always been sensitive to energy. For example, I’ve never liked thrift stores or old things. I later learned that this is because of the possible residual energy left on the items. Some of my family members would make fun of me for not wanting to go in thrift stores, but being inside one made me uneasy and itchy. I guess I was always able to sense when things were not right and to stay away from trouble. Sometimes I would ignore that feeling, and something bad would happen, knowing that I should have never went to begin with. For the most part, I have always seen shadow people and some full-blown apparitions (usually deceased family members). I was very afraid of the shadows and still am, but I’ve learned to deal with them.
Recently, I started getting easily irritated with where my life was and wanted to make changes. I quickly realized that I wanted more in almost every aspect of my life. Everything that I had was unfulfilling. I started looking for happiness and peace. I wanted to become whole and find what made me happy. Everything was just draining me. I began getting rid of anything or anybody that drained me. I analyzed my relationship and realized that it was no longer worth the fight and allowed his break to be the end. In a spiritual journey, things are moved out of your way in order for you to grow. I had to realize that and understand that most of the time I was fighting against my growth and forcing things to happen that shouldn’t have.
Weirdly, I started having an increase of physical symptoms with no medical cause: acid reflux, fatigue, leg cramps, toe numbness, and menstrual cycle changes. I later found out that these are symptoms of a spiritual awakening, as seen in the graphic below. I’ve also experience more of these symptoms like seeing angel numbers, more interest in tarot or supernatural things, and the urge to move in different aspects of my life.
I also began having an increase of vivid dreams. Even though I’ve always had vivid dreams, these new dreams seemed to be more realistic or cohesive. I started remembering these dreams more, which inclined me to believe that I needed to pay more attention. I decided to start keeping a dream journal. When I tell y’all, those dreams been freaking me out. But after writing them down, I began understanding the underlying themes of my dreams and just learned to accept what was happening with me. I realized that some of my dreams were just filler, but those OTHER ones-the really vivid ones-were trying to relay a message. I began taking heed to what they were telling me.
A lot of other things have been happening, and I’ve decided to embrace those changes as well. I may have to make a series about my spiritual journey, but until then, talk to you later, ladybugs!
