The Raw Truth About Spiritual Awakening: Why It Hurts & How to Move Through It
When people hear the words spiritual awakening, they often imagine peace. Bliss. A beautiful lightness. The kind of transcendent moment that makes everything click into place.
And yes… sometimes awakening is like that.

But here’s what many don’t talk about:
✨ Spiritual awakening can also break you open.
✨ It can feel like everything you once believed in is falling apart.
✨ It can be lonely, confusing, and incredibly emotional.
Awakening is not just a moment of clarity — it’s a process of unraveling. It strips away all the masks, the stories, the conditioning, and the roles you’ve been living by. And that… is not always comfortable.
In fact, sometimes it feels like the ground beneath you is disappearing.

Awakening Comes in Waves

You don’t wake up just once.
Spiritual awakening happens in layers. Just when you think you’ve arrived — that you’ve healed the wound, released the pattern, integrated the lesson — another wave comes. Another layer rises. Another part of your truth calls to be seen, felt, and reclaimed.
You might find yourself saying things like:
“Haven’t I already dealt with this?”
“Why am I crying again?”
“Why does it feel like I’m falling apart… again?”
If this is you — you’re not alone. And you’re not going backwards.
You’re deepening. You’re becoming. You’re remembering who you really are — underneath it all.

The Sacred Cocoon: The In-Between Space

One of the hardest parts of awakening is the space between who you were and who you're becoming.
Your old life doesn’t quite fit anymore.
The things that once felt comfortable now feel heavy.
But the new version of you hasn’t fully emerged yet.
It’s like being in a cocoon — dark, unfamiliar, uncertain.
But this is the exact space where transformation is happening.
And yes, it can be messy.

How to Move Through the Messy Middle

If you’re in the thick of it right now, here are some gentle reminders:
🌸 Feel it all.
Don’t suppress your emotions or try to fast-forward through them. Let yourself cry. Scream. Be still. Journal. Dance. Breathe. Healing happens when you allow yourself to feel.
🌸 Slow down.
Your body needs time to recalibrate. Your energy is shifting. Go gently. Nourish yourself. Rest when you need to. Tune into what your soul is really asking for.
🌸 Come back to the body.
Ground yourself through movement, breath, nature, and stillness. The mind might be spinning, but your body will always guide you back to the now.
🌸 Find your tribe.
Even if you feel alone, you don’t have to do this alone. Surround yourself with people who understand awakening. Who hold space. Who don’t try to fix you — but see you.
🌸 Trust the process.
Even if you don’t understand it yet. Even if it feels like you’re in the dark. Your soul knows. The breakdown is making way for the breakthrough.

This Is Not the End — It’s the Becoming

You are not broken. You are breaking open.
You are not falling apart. You are falling into place.
You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be.
Your soul chose this.
You are awakening.
Not to become someone new — but to return home to your most authentic, aligned, and powerful self.
And that woman? She’s already within you. She’s rising through every tear, every letting go, every sacred pause you take.

I help people create wellness, abundance and to find their soul purpose

 
For years, I felt like I was pushed to my limits, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. I believed that I was really all alone in my struggles and felt quite isolated.
The physical and emotional pain I experience was at times overwhelming.

Even thought I was living a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy food, exercising and doing meditation.  I was still lacking in energy and experienced pain. I really believed that I was doing everything to improve my situation. And one day that all changed when I was introduced to some products.
To be honest, I had used similar products before, so naturally I was very sceptical, but given that the person who introduced me to these was also working in the wellness field, just like myself - I took a leap of faith and decided to give them a go, after all what did I have to lose!

Since then my life has transformed, not on just a physical level, but also a mental, emotional and spiritual level. I get emotional just thinking about it all now and feel so incredibly blessed and grateful for this gift that was presented to me.
Now, I am living a life full of abundant wellness, I love my soul purpose and I am able to create abundance in life. 

I am now on a mission to create more empowered well-beings in the world and to share with you my learnings!

I welcome you to join our group of empowered well-beings and learn how you can also find freedom and ultimate wellness, just as I have,  with the knowledge and information we share amongst our exclusive and loving community.
