Many of us have been sold a version of "awakening" that looks like a light switch—a sudden flash of white light followed by eternal bliss and quietude. But as a hypnotherapist and someone who deeply loves the messy, beautiful reality of life, I have to tell you the truth: Awakening is not a destination; it is a rhythm. and often, that rhythm feels like a collapse.
1. The Body Speaks First
In our modern world, we’ve forgotten that the soul lives in the body. The first sign of awakening isn't usually a "vision"—it is your biology talking back to you. Things that were once "normal"—the food you ate, the people you spent time with, the job you held—suddenly feel distant, unknown, or "off."
It feels as if you are wearing a costume that no longer fits. This isn't stagnation; it is your physical self rejecting the old, conditioned programming of your subconscious. Your body is the first to know that the old "you" is obsolete.
2. The Sacred Threshold: 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM
Do you find yourself wide awake in the stillness before dawn? Between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM, the "veil" between your ego and your soul is at its thinnest. This is a time of profound recalibration.
If you feel sudden tears or a wave of unease during these hours, do not mistake it for weakness or drama. You are witnessing the metamorphosis of your soul. Your inner life force is flushing out the sediments of old fear to make room for a new frequency. In these hours, you aren't breaking down—you are breaking open.
3. The Biological Upgrade (The Missing Piece)
What we often fail to mention is that awakening is a physical upgrade. Think of it as trying to run 220V of electricity through a house wired for 110V. Your nervous system has to literally rewire itself to handle more "light" and higher awareness.
If you feel the need to withdraw, to be still, or to sleep, do not call it laziness. This stillness is a sacred part of the process. Your system is "holding the peace" while it recalibrates. In this phase, rest is the work.
4. Freedom is a Revolutionary Act
Radical freedom feels strange at first. When the walls of your conditioning crumble, you are exposed. You might doubt every move, overthink every decision, or try to control the unpredictability of the "Chaos." The ego is terrified of the void, so it tries to confuse you.
But true freedom is about identity. It exposes the true story of who you are, which can take even you off guard. It is the ability to:
- Create without collapsing.
- Love without the shadow of fear.
- Co-create with the Universe rather than forcing your path.
5. The Achievement: Heart-Mind Coherence
The ultimate goal of this painful, beautiful process is Coherence. This is the highest achievement of awakening: the state where your Heart and your Mind finally sing the same song.
When you achieve coherence, you stop fighting the flow. You realize that you can relax and step back. You are no longer a victim of your subconscious programming; you are the conscious architect of your reality.
A Note to My Fellow Travelers
If you are in the midst of the "Dark Night," if your friends are falling away, or if you feel lost in the unfamiliarity of your own life: Trust the process. You are transmuting suffering into presence. You are learning to dance on the endless waters of your own being. It isn’t easy, and it isn’t always bliss—but it is the most honest way to be alive.
