Ah, a spiritual awakening. People love throwing that phrase around. But what does it actually mean? It’s simple. A spiritual awakening is just a shift in consciousness. It’s when you stop sleepwalking through life and start realizing your power.
Honestly, a spiritual awakening isn’t some magical event. It’s more of a rude awakening to reality. It happens when you start thinking for yourself instead of relying on others. You see your life differently, and everything changes. It’s like you suddenly wake up from a deep nap and realize you were missing out on your own life. This is a conversation I often have with folk coming to our physical store, come visit! Connect with us for more on Instagram, Facebook (Meta) or TikTok.
You may have one major awakening or several. There’s no one-size-fits-all. Some wake up in a rush, while others take it slow. Either way, the transformation is undeniable.
Why Does a Spiritual Awakening Matter?
So why should we care about a spiritual awakening? Well, it matters because it means you’re reclaiming your personal power. You’re realizing that you have the ability to shape your life. That’s huge. Instead of feeling like a victim, you step into your own authority. You start understanding metaphysical concepts.
Society, of course, will try to convince you that you’re wrong. People will tell you it’s “evil” or “sinful.” But frankly, they’re just stuck in an old narrative. They fear what they don’t understand. They’ll label witchcraft as devil worship, for example. But the truth is, witchcraft is about working with natural energies to create change. It’s not evil; it’s just misunderstood.
For centuries, the word “witch” was used to demonize women. Religious persecution kept women from using their gifts. Men hated that women could heal and be independent. So, they labeled them as witches. The funny part? Men with similar gifts were also persecuted.
Here’s the kicker: garlic was once called the “devil’s herb” because of its healing powers. They couldn’t let women have opportunities. So, they were labeled witches. But let’s be clear. It’s time to stop associating witches with “evil” and “devils.”
Reclaiming the Witch Within
Now, in this age of spiritual awakening, people are reclaiming the term “witch” again. And, guess what? It’s not just women. Men are stepping up too. Society has no say over how we identify or how we claim our power.
Witches aren’t some evil, cackling figures from Hollywood. Frankly, Hollywood’s portrayal of witches is about as accurate as their portrayal of vampires. We’re not all about cauldrons, curses, and chanting in the moonlight. Witchcraft is about connecting with nature’s energies. It’s about using those energies to create change. No spooky business required.
As more people awaken, the definition of witchcraft is changing. We’re not here to fit into anyone’s narrow idea of what we should be. Instead, we’re reclaiming what’s ours. We’re redefining what it means to be a witch, and we’re not apologizing for it.
By the way, let’s talk about balance. Everyone has both masculine and feminine energies. These energies are crucial to who you are. You don’t have to be a woman to embrace feminine energy, nor do you have to be a man to embrace masculine energy. Both are essential. When you realize that, you unlock something powerful within yourself.
Understanding the Nature of Spiritual Awakening
A spiritual awakening isn’t just about “finding yourself.” It’s about realizing you’re already here. You’ve been here all along. But, the real question is: are you living as your true self? Most people aren’t. They’re too busy following someone else’s script.
When you undergo an awakening, your intuition strengthens. You start trusting your inner wisdom. Stop ignoring your gut feelings, and suddenly, everything makes sense. You listen more deeply to yourself and the world around you.
You also begin to understand natural cycles. Seasons, rhythms, and energies that once seemed mysterious now feel familiar. You start to move with them. The dark isn’t a place to fear. Instead, it’s a place of growth. Nature doesn’t see darkness as evil. It just sees it as a natural part of the cycle. Embrace it.
Additionally, as your intuition grows, you start seeking deeper knowledge. Your understanding of the world broadens, and so does your ability to manifest your desires. Your personal power becomes undeniable. You embrace boundaries. You protect your energy. And, as a result, you transform your life.
How to Awaken and Reclaim Your Power
By now, you might be asking: “How do I actually reclaim my power?” Well, it’s simpler than it sounds. The key is realizing that you already have power, that’s spiritual awakening. You’ve just been giving it away without noticing. Now, let’s change that.
There are rituals from all over the world that can help you reconnect with your energy. The process is ancient, but it’s also incredibly personal. Feel free to explore. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. And don’t hesitate to repeat the process as often as needed. Trust me, it works.
Here’s a simple exercise to help you call back your energy. It’s easy, straightforward, and it doesn’t require anything fancy.
Call Your Power Back:
- Stand tall with confidence or sit like a queen (or king) on your throne. Posture matters more than you think.
- Mentally reject how others value you. You are the one who sets your worth, not them.
- Reflect on everyone and everything that has taken your energy. Think about the people, situations, and places that drain you.
- Allow yourself to feel angry, indignant, or even excited. This is your power you’re reclaiming. Feel the joy of it.
- Visualize letting go of anything harmful to you. Energy vampires? Drama queens? See them fading away. Set healthy boundaries or banish them altogether.
- Tune into the All—the Akashic Records, the collective past, present, and future. Feel your connection to past lives, if that resonates.
- See where your energy has been left. Notice who has been taking it. This awareness is key.
- With arms outstretched and palms up, say with authority: “I take back my power. I remember who I am.” See your energy flowing back to you.
- Sit or stand for a while, visualizing the flow of your energy returning until the stream naturally subsides.
Repeat this exercise as often as you like. There’s no limit to how often you can call back your power. You are worth it, and you matter. Don’t forget that.
Wrapping Up: Never Forget Who You Are
A spiritual awakening is about more than finding peace. It’s about realizing your own power and standing in it. Wake up to who you really are and stepping fully into your purpose. It’s not about following someone else’s script, instead it’s about writing your own.
When you reclaim your power, your life transforms. You become more aligned with your true self. You start setting healthier boundaries, protecting your energy, and manifesting the life you want.
So, go ahead and remember: you matter, you’re worth it, and there’s only one of you. If you need, we offer in-person readings at our physical store for those that can visit and online tarot readings for those that can’t.
I needed to read this right now. Thank you so much!!
Glad you took the time to read this article, Erika. Think chrysalis into pupa, thenceforth into beauty; a mature butterfly. The butterfly and the chrysalis look so different don’t they? It’s a struggle too, transformation, but look to the end result. Spiritual awakening doesn’t just happen, though circumstance can be a powerful prompt at times. But when we willing undergo transformation, embracing it – we do indeed change. 🙂 Blessings.
