What is spiritual ascension?

So this question comes up a lot because I feel like in the spiritual community there are so many different fluff words to describe the same thing and so people kind of get confused like well what's spiritual ascension?

What's upgrading?

What's this?

What's that?

And it all just kind of jumbles into one so I want to be very clear and concise about what spiritual ascension is.

And essentially it is going through the motions of learning lessons and shedding old layers of yourself to reach a higher level of consciousness.

And it doesn't matter what way you do this in.

It can be through personal development.

It can actually be through many different religions.

There's no right or wrong method to how you can quote unquote ascend and it really is a an upgrade or a shifting of being to a higher level of consciousness,

To a higher vibration through things like shedding old layers of yourself,

Moving through lessons in karma and just an FYI karma literally means lesson so karma is neither good nor bad.

It's just something that you need to learn and move through through shedding old belief systems,

Working through your shadow,

Working through your inner child,

Healing traumas,

And genuinely learning to love and be your authentic self again.

And the more that you do that,

The more that you stand in your light and honor who you are authentically,

The more you will notice your vibration shifting,

Your mindset shifting,

Your manifesting will come easier,

You might be more connected with your guides,

Your clairs,

All of those will start activating and you will realize that you are on the path to ascension.

And the way that your ascension,

Your spiritual ascension can get triggered is different for everyone.

There's a few common ways for this to happen.

So I'm just going to outline the top three.

So the first one is some sort of crazy experience,

Whether that's a near death experience,

Something super traumatic happens to you,

That shifts you or triggers you into your awakening.

So a lot of people,

For example,

With NDEs,

They have this near death experience,

And they reawaken completely different,

They've had some experience while they were on the quote unquote,

Other side,

They've met with their guides,

They've seen the light,

They've done whatever and come back a completely different person with a new mindset.

And their whole outlook on life has changed.

And that's what triggers our spiritual awakening.

For other people,

Like me,

For example,

It happens very,

Very slowly.

So I,

Since I was a kid,

No,

Like knew I just wasn't from here,

That it that was it,

I was into the aliens,

I was into everything mythical fantasy,

Like all that kind of stuff.

And I just had this deep knowing that I was not from Earth.

And as I grew up,

And as I got older,

I slowly started tapping into all of these different modalities,

Getting drawn to certain things,

Yoga,

Breathwork,

Manifestation,

Crystals,

Astrology,

All of the alien movies,

Like Men in Black,

All of the fantasy stuff,

Like Harry Potter,

Charmed,

Like all of the witchy things,

Because I knew that for me,

That was truth,

That was real.

And as I went on my journey,

I slowly awakened more and more until I hit the point and had that realization and was able to continue on with it.

And then the third way that this happens is people will feel drawn or attached to a specific spiritual modality,

A teacher,

A guru,

Something or someone who just calls to them,

And they learn about spirituality about the different modalities through that.

And that's what triggers our spiritual awakening.

So those are the three main types of awakenings that can happen.

Of course,

Everyone is different.

It can happen in so many different ways.

You could be scrolling on TikTok,

See a TikTok about something spiritual or about a modality or something that literally,

Like awaken something in you and then you go on a rabbit deep dive and then bam,

There you are,

Your spiritual awakening has started.

Like there's so many different ways,

But those are just the top three most common ways that you will see people start their journey.
