Awakening Isn't Pretty

Let’s be real—awakening isn’t all candlelight and crystal baths.

It’s raw. It’s messy. And it will drag every skeleton out of your spiritual closet whether you’re ready or not. If you've found yourself crying at 2 a.m. for no apparent reason, questioning every decision you've ever made, and wondering if you’re absolutely losing your mind—congrats, babe. You’re not broken. You're waking the hell up.

What Are Spiritual Awakening Signs?

Spiritual awakening signs don’t come with a cute little handbook and a friendly angel guide. Nope. They hit different. Some common signs include:

  • Sudden emotional rollercoasters (hello, rage-crying in traffic).

  • Feeling disconnected from the people or things you used to love.

  • Questioning your beliefs, your career, your entire freakin’ existence.

  • Vivid dreams, heightened intuition, or seeing repeating numbers (1111, anyone?).

These aren’t glitches in your system. They're signs your soul is upgrading.

Your nervous system is recalibrating, and your aura is basically detoxing lifetimes of crap. Take naps. Drink tea. Don’t ghost your healing, but don’t overthink it either.

The Awakening Journey is a Vibe—But It’s Not Cute

Instagram may have you thinking awakening looks like sage bundles and sunshine selfies. But honey, awakening is more like:

  • Screaming into your pillow at midnight.

  • Burning an old journal under the moonlight.

  • Losing relationships that can’t match your vibration.

It’s death and rebirth. And yes, it’s a total vibe—but it’s not always pretty.

This phase is brutal. But it’s also the portal.

Mini-Ritual Snippet: Rise Like the Phoenix

🌑 Midnight Mirror Ritual for Clarity & Courage 🌑

  • Set your space with a black candle, a piece of obsidian, and a cup of calming tea (like our Calm The Hell Down Goddess Tea.

    “I release what no longer serves. I embrace the unknown. I rise.”

  • Journal what comes through. Pull a card from your ritual deck if you need guidance.

  • Sip your tea, breathe, and let yourself be held by the universe.

Do this anytime you feel lost in the shadows.
