The spiritual journey is a big process that will change your life in many ways. During the awakening process, it is common to feel a series of "symptoms" that indicate that you are shifting your energetic frequency. These can often feel a bit challenging and it is common to think that you are walking around with a lingering cold, but what actually happens is that your physical body changes and adapts to your developed psyche.

If you are curious about what else indicates a spiritual awakening besides these ten signs, you can read about the different stages one goes through in one's awakening .

Right now in the world what is called a mass awakening is taking place, where large numbers of people are beginning to come to an understanding of themselves and the world at large. Especially in 2020, there were many who began their awakening processes, largely because what many took for granted in their lives suddenly disappeared with the pandemic. It is often during upheaval periods like these that the spiritual awakening kicks in, because it makes you question the life you have lived and the way society has told you you should live. It can also be that you have felt for a long time that there is something rubbing inside, which leads to a strong will to change yourself. Along with the change, one often begins to develop new interests and find new communities, and suddenly one's view of the world changes completely. Life takes on a new meaning and you see yourself with new eyes.
