RIDING THE ENERGY ROLLERCOASTER

Surviving the Awakening Shifts

For the last four months since I discovered about ‘Empath’ (thanks to my bestie-my soul family :)) and kicked start my ‘Spiritual Awakening’, I started to appreciate quiet moments to reflect on the past, present and future.

Even though I enjoy such solitude, I look forward to chatting with families and friends. I have a preference for small gatherings as it is a great opportunity to re-acquaint old friendships and make new friends.

Now, my roller coaster ride for the last four months. I am fortunate to have supporting families and friends. The awakening energy is a heck of ride and I am sure everyone experiences it differently. So, I am sharing what I have read as well as experienced. I am not saying that this is how it will be for you. If you do have experiences that are different from what I am describing, I would love to hear about them to add into the list as well as to get a broader understanding about how people are experiencing these shifts. It helps me as I continue to connect to more and more people. Thank you in advance for any shares that you may offer.

4 Common Energetic Experiences
There is no way around it; it feels like something is alive under your skin. It feels like it has a life of its own, and you feel pretty freaked out as it pulses, ebbs, and shifts around in your body. So many things are going crazy in your mind. Mainly it is along the lines of this: “I am going to have a heart attack? Why is my heart pumping so fast, am i going to die?!” Well, the good news is you are not. You are just in a really big energy shift, and you are currently finding out where all the crap (tension and pain) has been hidden in your body. You have got to face it now. You can’t avoid that any longer. Otherwise, this situation will get more traumatic. It is not pleasant I know. I am still feeling the pain and aches till now. The lesser stress I am in, the lesser pain. The more stress I am in, heck the more painful it is. Hence lesser stress definitely my choice :)

With that said, here are four general buckets to put energy shifts into:

It is important to note that as long as you don’t have any illnesses, outstanding health issues, or substance abuse issues, you will be fine. I just went through a full medical check up (thanks to my bestie birthday pressie), I am assured what I am going through is not medical / illnesses. If you do have some of the other issues, then I strongly encourage you to get help for those. Undoubtedly, those issues will be worsened by neglect as your energy shifts you into a deeper integrity with your body and does everything it can to get your attention there — that includes pain (Pain is, after all, one of our greatest teachers).

Localized Tension and Generalized Pain
As I mentioned, so long as there aren’t any medical conditions that you are unaware of or avoiding, energy can feel painful. It is not that the energy is hurtful. It’s the issues and resistance in your body that is hurting you. The energy is pressurizing it. Energy is like water. It just wants to flow. But if it hits a dam — a blockage — it starts to build. The bigger of a shift you are in, the more that water builds up until the dam is about to break. And then, there is a huge release and a rush as suddenly you feel all of this energy unleashed in you. That part can be pretty intoxicating. It will last until it finds the next spot in your body that’s resisting your shift.

A great example is when many people have lots of pressure on their foreheads. I had that for the first 1 month and later I discovered that it is not a headache. It is the mind trying to block out the energy. It is often an issue of not believing or being unwilling to believe that you are in a shift. So the pain gets worse. I guess mine was relieved when I accepted and liberating it. For some it can debilitating, and then it all shifts when you let go. It shifts when you say, “Yeah, I guess I can believe I am in a shift.” And then things flow again, and you are like, “Was that it?” Yep. That was it. Until the next thing comes.

There can also be some generalised pain in whole regions of the body or the whole body. Sometimes for me, those are just growing pains. I am being pushed and stretched. The energy is most likely hitting multiple little issues in multiple places. Now it is on my arms, at times I can’t lift it up without pain. Sometimes, just relaxing and allowing is important where with the bigger issues figuring out what they are and what is needed to release them is essential.

Energy Pulsation: The Heart Beat of the Soul
Another way the energy can feel is like a pulse. You can feel it beating in different areas, and it is more than that. It is kind of got a fuzzy, vibrating feel. It is tough to put into words, but you definitely feel like you are being shaken in some very deep way on every fiber of your being. I usually find that meditation helps me in these moments. If the feeling is localised, I will find meditation on a specific chakra to address it (Thanks Youtube!). Also being around someone who has very strong energy and is very grounded can help. I discovered that when I was with this group of pranic healers at the ‘Breath of Life’ event. They can be like a grounding wire because right now, you are the live wire. Other times, I just have to lie down until it calms down, and I no longer feel like I am being shaken out of my skin.

Energy Waves: WEEEEEEEE! YES! That is exactly the feeling I had :)
Then, there are times when you just feel like you’re surfing on energy. This can be kinda fun. Occasionally, I feel a surge up my spine, love that feeling. One day at work, a voice told me to look at my palm, and I did and wow! I discovered I can see aura colours of mine! You can really feel spiritually high. It is not all bad. It is the duration of it that can get to you. Breathing with the waves can help to pull in what is moving through you, and as always with pretty much all energy, letting go into the process is important. Grounding in physical activity, being in nature, being in water, and similar activities can help to let the excess energy that you can’t handle go into the earth and, more importantly, out of you. I am not sure how many of us can absorb all the stuff that we tap into through awakening when we are first opening to the whole shift. Giving yourself tools and times to ground and get out of the higher states is actually really important to sustaining the shift and not blowing yourself on it. Too much of it can leave you kinda freaked out and crashed out. It is like a bad hangover, but ten times worse. So remember to step down out of it.

Heat: It is Getting Hot in Here…
And I am experiencing a lot of this lately when I am sleeping. I know emerging energy healers can have a lot of heat in their bodies and especially their hands. To me, that is kinda like warming up the car. Things are preparing themselves for use in that function of being a healer. That is not necessarily always the case. Sometimes, heat is just how your body responds to absorbing lots of energy — potentially more than you are used to handling. So once again, grounding is important, and heck, a cold shower can be a welcome thing in many ways in this situation. It is, like the others, nothing to be intensely concerned about. It will come and go as you continue to shift and open.

Crack: You hear me right. Cracking sounds within you…
And I am experiencing a lot of this cracking sounds within me since 3 months ago, especially at night. I have been wondering what was that, and one possible explanation is that our chakras are starting to balance itself, awakening the pineal glands and the thymus glands and other areas. Our soul is trying to break through the surface reality our ‘ego’ or identity used to associate as reality.

Our higher self is trying to break through these barriers we created that caused us to limit ourselves and our human potential. These are the barriers that held you together through your ego identity.

But right now we’re entering a time where the Soul is winning, the Higher self is pushing through these limitations and the ego is starting to dissipate.

The reason we are being cracked open is because our soul is like an onion, layer by layer we have these conditioned beliefs and subjective experiences that shaped our old identity.

What I mean by being cracked open is that our reality is like an egg, this surface area is chipping away and we are starting to crack it open completely. All these illusions that we created with the old identity through the ego are starting to reveal themselves and each layer is slowly being revealed to the observer. All truth will be revealed once awakened.

Just look around you and see how many people are transforming and encountering these profound shifts in awareness. Many of us are either experiencing what we call the Dark Night of the Soul or they are slowly unfolding from that moment that shook their soul awake.

Inside this state of purging, cleansing and healing, the darkness is pushing us to the threshold of the death of the old paradigm. The more we acknowledge this, it becomes much easier to see what is really going on.

We are literally starting to reframe our realities from the inside out, energetically. It is like building a house, your foundation sucks because you are building it on sand, how can you feel supported and grounded in your truth? Your foundation must be build with rocks, firm conviction and universal support.

This starts with cracking ourselves open, watching the unfolding and seeing all these aspects of darkness are the past stories that created our victim identity. It can feel a bit like time travelling through our memories.

We begin to revisit these wounds and profoundly turn them into our wisdom.

The Darkness allows us to crack wide open and that is when the light starts to fill in the gaps. The soul start emerging more and more and instead of going backwards, you are constantly spiralling upward without even realising it.

The birthing process is emerging from within ourselves and changing our energetic foundation.

When we feel we are struggling, distressed or letting the darkness take over, we are actually in the birthing process. That resistance, the contrast is teaching you to birth a new universe for yourself.

Our Higher Self is basically teaching us to clear the path and start self-correcting our energy body.

As the mind forms the bridge into the heart we are not just awakening our stories, we are expanding our light with the world. This is true course correcting.

We are transmuting A TON of past baggage right now. I believe we are literally watching evolution take place and the more this becomes apparent, our light is needed right now more than ever. Do rest if you feel tired. I have went through a four months of tiredness beyond words, and that is because our energy are used up a lot for the shift.

Spiritual Work and When to Get Help
The tools that you should be developing will help you to modulate and open up to the energy shifting through you. You need to have a support mechanism or to be developing one. Meditation, a spiritual community, potentially a trusted energy healer, potentially a spiritual teacher, and plenty of other spiritual practices make up a spiritual support mechanism. I know a lot of us going through awakening now haven’t had much of a support mechanism, but that will change as the years go by. Those of us awakening are all interested in creating more space for these shifts in this society, and I, for one, would love to create a few centers one day where people can go, be safe, and have their shift without having to worry about what is going on in the world (at least for a little while — this isn’t an escape from life or an obsession; it is an embracing of the spiritual awakening).

With a support mechanism, you will have the help you need. There is no issue with seeking help, but don’t freak out and run for the phone the first time a little energy trimmer ripples through your right arm. Just be with it. I am talking about getting help from a healer to ground the excess if you can’t sleep for four days in a row and are having visions so bad that you don’t know what is real anymore. While your sense of reality is shifting (you are actually starting to understand what IS real), being debilitated isn’t the point. And if anything, if something is moving that powerfully, it means that you are not integrating the energy well and are overwhelmed. It is always okay to step back a little from the process, and there are ways to do that a little bit without shutting down and crashing.

Let go of any expectation how long this spiritual awakening process will take — it can be months or years, it will take as long as you need it to take.

My hibernation is near to end. For the last four months, I have found my answers to my soul searching, not all but the basic of what I needed for my spiritual journey. I am sure I will still enjoy my solitary moments from time to time. Now is to embrace and let it flow. Wish all the same too. Shine your energy light to the universe and everyone around you.

Peace and Love to all 💞
