🌪️ No One Warned Me: The Real Side of Spiritual Awakening

…and why there’s no email alert for the collapse of your former life.

You’d think that if the universe was going to pull you into a life-altering transformation of your soul, there’d at least be a warning.

A text.

A memo.

Maybe a calendar invite labeled:

“ ⚠️Ascension Event – Wear stretchy clothes, your life’s about to unravel.”

But no.

There’s no message, no brochure.

Just a slow (or sometimes very sudden) feeling that something’s off—but also… something sacred is starting.

Not even a whisper of:

“📝 P.S. Your cravings, your friendships, your career path, your ego, and your entire sense of identity will soon expire. Love you.”

Trust the process

 Here’s What Actually Happens:

You think you’re just tired.

You tell yourself:

“Maybe I need more magnesium. Or to journal 📓more. Or to burn sage. Or to run away and live in a yurt.”

You start crying over things like wind brushing through trees. Or the silence between two piano notes.

You cancel dinner plans because you literally cannot pretend to care about how Becky’s boyfriend forgot her birthday again.

And suddenly…

Silence feels safer than validation.

That’s not burnout.

That’s your soul clearing the room.

 💔The Loss is Real—But It’s Not a Punishment

Here’s the thing no one warns you about:

Awakening isn’t soft. It’s surgical. 💥

It’s:

• You losing people you love because you no longer orbit around the same illusions.

• You sitting in the stillness of your own presence and realizing it’s not empty—it’s finally quiet.

• You laughing out loud because you suddenly remembered some past version of you that cared what your high school nemesis thought of your haircut.

You realize most of your life has been lived performing okay-ness.

But now… your soul has other plans.

 There’s No Map🗺️ for This—And That’s the Point

If there was a guidebook, it would read something like:📖

• “You’ll outgrow your circle. Sit with the ache of that.”

• “You’ll need more nature than Netflix.”

• “You’ll suddenly become allergic to inauthenticity—including your own.”

• “You’ll feel the need to cry for seven years and simultaneously laugh at the absurdity of it all.”

And then in tiny, fine print:

“Oh—and you’re probably not going crazy. You’re just going home.”

 But Here’s the Wild, Beautiful Secret ✨

Eventually…

You’ll like your own company.

You’ll trust the uncertainty.

You’ll make tea and lovingly talk to yourself and find yourself weeping—not from sadness, but from remembering who you are.

You’ll start dancing again.

You’ll sit with the trees.

You’ll meet other people who also weren’t warned.

And you’ll recognize them by the softness in their eyes and the depth in their listening.

You’ll laugh together.

Because you know…

The awakening didn’t come with a map—

but it brought you home to your authentic soul.

And she had finally had enough.

A More Personal Truth

To me… it looked like fibromyalgia.

And severe allergies.

And asthma that no one could really explain.

But the light—soft and unassuming—whispered:

“Figure it out.”

And I did.

To others, it may seem simple. To some, impossibly complex.

Because it is never the same.

Our bodies, our breakdowns, our soul-signals… they appear based on where we are on the spiral of remembering.

But the signal is always there.

The frequency of the call is humming beneath it all.

We can ignore it, reason with it, run from it.

But if it’s your time to rise—

you’ll feel it.

Like you’ve been cosmically tagged (gently, but unmistakably).

And everything in your life will start rearranging itself around that invisible bell.

✨ A Note on the Ones Who Don’t Understand

We live on Earth—but not in the same dimension of understanding.

This is why people argue.

Why some reject what others feel so deeply.

Because each soul is navigating life from its own consciousness, its own timeline of remembering.

Not everyone will understand your rising.

Not everyone can.

And that’s okay.

You’re not here to convince them.

You’re here to embody it.

To anchor your truth so steadily that others feel safe enough to question theirs.

So if they don’t see it yet—let that be a sign not of division,

but of dimensional difference.

Keep rising anyway.

 Shareable Quote:

“Spiritual awakening: no map, no memo, just your authentic soul flipping the table and saying to you—and everyone else it surrounds—‘Enough.’”

 And If You’re Wondering Why I Offer what I Do…

… this is why I continue to say yes to the work I offer.

Because I know some don’t realize they’re being called.

And others feel the call—but the weight of the familiar still sits heavier than the unknown of awakening.

Therefore, I leave the light on.

I open the door.

And I keep offering a space where your soul doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

You’ll know when it’s time.

And I’ll be here.

With Divine light, love & presence,

Pauline
