Spiritual Awakening – What do people mean when they talk about “Spiritual Awakening”? Is it the same as Spiritual Enlightenment?
An Awakening occurs when an individual transcends the confused and frightened self and leaves their ego at the door, becoming aware of their higher consciousness, living from a place of unconditional love, responding from a place of inner calm and love to others and life’s circumstances.
A spiritual Awakening should not be confused with “enlightenment”, that may be defined as an intellectual understanding of higher religious principals.
As you awaken and reach higher states of consciousness, you begin to own your power. You will find that your state of wellbeing is not affected by the actions of others – rather you will have an awareness and a considered response.
