But what does spiritual awakening exactly mean in practical terms?

Awakening is a natural process that allows our true self to emerge and evolve. Just as everything in life grows, so too does our connection to our deeper essence.

The more we identify and live in alignment with our true self, our highest purpose and life’s calling, our core beliefs and values, the more we taste genuine and lasting joy, fulfilment, abundance and love. 

Often, we live our lives mindlessly, automatically, in autopilot, trapped in the prison of the mind. The mind, without us realising it gradually replaces our true essence in deciding where to focus our attention. We walk around assuming we are “awakened” and already know it all, when in reality we are mostly in a low state of awareness, guided by our subconscious triggers and beliefs.

Without realising it, we are shackled by the chains of endless negative mental loops, emotional impulses and physical urges. In this state, we look at reality through the lenses of our subconscious conditionings and hidden blocked emotions. These have an impact on the type of vibration we send out and the consequent people and events we attract in life. 

Awakening is a process that allows us to connect with our true self, beyond any mental conditioning, helping us to align with our true purpose and embrace  a new vision of life: the notion that we have the power to change the outside when we transform the inside. 

Imagine a coach with two horses, a coachman and a passenger. The coach represents the body, the coachman the mind, the two horses are our emotions and passions, the passenger the True Self. The passenger is the only part of us  that truly knows the direction to take in each part of our life: relationships, prosperity, career and social life.

Awakening means mastering the mind (the coachman) and connecting to our true self (the passenger) in order to gain directions and new vision in every aspect of life. 

The secret to awakening is building the willpower to remain present in the present moment and the resilience to maintain mental control, particularly during challenging times. The mind take controls when we are in the past or in the future.

Meditation, Mindfulness, Breathwork etc are all very powerful techniques and they all share one effort: the effort to remember to be present, beyond the impulses of the mind

With constant practice this creates automatically an “alchemical inner fire” that energetically stimulates and opens the heart, naturally triggering a new vision:

our external reality is a reflection of our internal one!

Awakening the process that allows us to shift from a victim mentality, blaming other people and events in our lives, to a victorious self-empowered mentality. 

I attract = I am responsible = I am in charge!

Awakening leads to alignment with our deeper calling and helps us achieve a state of resonance with the reality around us, helping us create a mindset shift, whereby we are able to take advantage of the opportunities in all of life’s challenge. 

TIP

Test how much you are in control of your mind, your body and the flow of your emotions. Are you able to stop a recurrent chain of repetitive considerations in your mind and refocus? Pick a physical urge or habit and test your will power to stop it (for example avoid moving your hands in a conversation or stop drinking coffee for a week). For one day notice how the energy of your emotion flows inside your body and how it triggers your mind.

In those moments of presence and observation you are awakening the “real you”!
