What is spiritual awakening?
What are the signs of spiritual awakening?
This is Arielle and I'm here with our host,
Michael McIntosh.
Today,
We'll be exploring spiritual awakening,
What it is,
What are the signs and stages?
What do we go through on the journey?
How can we awaken more gently and have more compassion for ourselves and for others?
Let's explore the stages and signs of awakening that most people go through.
Many blessings and welcome.
And what a beautiful opportunity to go into this unlimited adventure that we're on,
Isn't it amazing?
Cosmic adventure.
Let's start with a few gentle breaths.
And as you breathe,
Just become aware that you are the witness,
The presence.
Life is unfolding.
And we are on a magical journey to higher and higher levels of consciousness and awakening,
Awakening the third eye.
So let's just ask our hearts,
Am I willing to awaken even more?
Am I willing to experience all the infinite blessings that life is trying to offer?
Am I willing to enjoy the adventure?
All the adventure,
Such an adventure.
So we're going to talk about and share about this today.
I'm sure you wouldn't be listening to this if you haven't had some sort of spiritual awakening already.
And we're going to be going a little bit deeper into the types of things that we pass through on the journey.
And you can see how many of these things apply to you.
So at the beginning,
Let's just go into what is it like before awakening?
Isn't it interesting because there's the before and after.
So before awakening,
We tend to be what we can call unconscious.
Doesn't mean we're literally unconscious.
We're going about our lives.
We're doing the things that we think we should be doing.
We're following the systems and customs of the world in one way or another.
And unconscious means that we are not aware of our spiritual nature.
And in this state,
Somebody may come across spiritual teachings or higher consciousness,
But they just won't notice it.
So someone might be given a leaflet or told about something and it just goes in one ear and out the other.
I remember a fascinating TV show that I watched years ago by Darren Brown,
Who's a magician.
It was about luck and it was about why some people seem to be lucky and others are not lucky.
And there was one guy who said that he felt he was an unlucky person and they wanted to test out whether he really was unlucky or whether he just wasn't noticing things.
So what they did is they put money in front of his path.
So he'd be walking along and there'd be literally like hundred pound notes or 50 pound notes as in England.
And he would just walk straight past it.
And then they gave him a whole bunch of scratch cards which would be.
