Caution: long post but pretty informative.
There are several different terms for Ascension/ Spiritual Awakening, shifting, waking up.
The definition of Ascension is the act of rising to an important position or a higher level.
For quite some time now, but particularly since the Summer Solstice We have been experiencing powerful surges of energy in our bodies. Spiritually, we are awakening and desiring to move towards our true purpose. On the flip side we are feeling restricted, we feel like we cannot move forward and there is just an overall heavy vibe.
Buckle up tight Buttercup and Welcome to Your Ascension aka Spiritual Awakening! We are serving up a shit show and your soul has just climbed aboard! Welcome their room for everyone.
Spiritually, there’s a real process involved when we "WAKE UP" when we become more enlightened and ascend to a higher frequency, a more authentic vibration. A vibration of unconditional love. Your heart and soul are aligning and as this process happens energetically you feel it throughout the body. Under these energetically charged times, it is difficult to explain or describe what you may be experiencing. It is my hope that this blog helps you in some way, or someone close to you. I have experienced, and continue to experience, all parts of the Ascension process that I describe below. When I first began this journey quite some time ago, I wish I had known what I know now! Cause I tell you what it has been on crazy ride. But what better teacher than experience, True life experiences will teach you all you truly need to know eh? Both Positive and negative. Enjoy!

All Aboard!!! No, you are not going crazy, although it may feel like it!
It is happening to many and has people scrambling for answers. For guidance, for support, for insight. We are all navigating our way through these new age energies, through the dark times, and it can be very overwhelming and by far exhausting to most.
Learning who you truly are, at the soul level is now more important than ever. This is not always easy as we face parts of ourselves that have been dormant, likely since childhood. You need to remember the importance of being gentle with yourself as you are clearing years of outdated conditioning!
As we ascend (rise), we drop all of our vices away. We are forced to face painful circumstances and feelings. Everything may seem to be falling apart when in actuality, this is happening so that you can make way for your new reality so that everything can come together for you on your own terms. Your life, Your Manifestations, Your Reality!!!
Remember: on the soul level you asked for this, and it is not supposed to be easy! Be careful what you wish for cause it just might happen.
I have many clients that have gone to the Doctor with all sorts of physical ailments, only to come up with a 100% clean bill of health (thankfully), but it leaves them even more confused. “So, what is happening and why do I feel this way”?
Quick break down, Physically, what is happening is that your cellular structure is changing to accommodate a higher frequency within the body. This coincides with the major planetary shifting that is taking place. Spiritually, what is happening is that you are becoming more aligned with your true self, your soul and your spirit and if you are here then I am sure you are aware that this is not an easy process. This is what we are all really here to do. Evolve. It is extremely important to understand that although ascension is an ongoing process, it is not forced upon anyone. We all have a specific soul path, and ascension may or may not be a part of your individual journey. Not everyone will experience it in this lifetime.
Ascension can also be gradual or accelerated and you will know by the severity of your symptoms.
So how will you know if you are experiencing ascension? First off, this post right here will totally resonate like a ton of bricks in a shit storm. And you will continue on further down the track, Chooo!!! Chooo!!!
As you ascend you will feel like you are shedding your armor, you are not as fearful in general. Your level of trust and faith in the unseen, in the universe intensifies.
You feel like a different version of who you once were. Something is different and you can’t quite explain it, but you feel it and you just know this is typically the part when a entire spiritual journey comes in. Along we go...
Circumstances that you once tolerated will become intolerable as you get more in touch with your core being.
You may also experience extreme warmth and sensitivity towards others and life in general as your true, compassionate nature is revealed.
***Sidenote: If you would like to skip ahead just scroll down but be sure if you do so to give the conductor an additional $1.99 to some physical symptoms of this process that include, but are not limited to the following
***Disclaimer- Make sure you get checked out properly by a medical professional before you assume your symptoms are in fact, ascension related.

Spiritual shifts tend to happen right before or after a cathartic event in one's life such as, but not only: death, divorce, the loss of something or someone you loved deeply, moving, job loss or change, etc. Anything that triggers your soul into a sense of loss of self or loss of joy and purpose your soul goes into overdrive and sometimes even despair.
This process can also happen just because it’s time and does not have to precede or follow a massive life change but typically something massive happens and changes everything as you once knew it to be an nothing is the same as it was nor will it ever be.
Through this process of ascension, our DNA is actually rearranging to become aligned with the new earth energies. This process does produce physical ‘happenings’ in the body. This happens at a rapid rate so it can feel very confusing and overwhelming as well.
Ascension symptoms occur on a physical, mental and emotional level. As your entire system goes through a ‘re-boot’ it is felt throughout the mind, body and soul. Unplugging and Plugging back in so to speak. If it was only that easy.
On the spiritual level, it is all about energy and consciousness. Becoming more aware of not only one's higher self but the entire dimension of being.
Let me just clarify this as simply as possible, this is not negative although it may feel that way at times its truly not. As a very psychically sensitive person, I’ve been experiencing episodes of these spiritual upgrades and the physical effects of them for years upon years on end, and still do! There have been plenty of times I’ve had to leave the gym or the grocery store, because I felt like I was on another planet. Days I’ve had to stay home because I felt off and energetically altered, making it extremely difficult to enter the "real" world. While this is great for my work, it’s not so fun for everyday life!
As I always say, "Everything is energy. We are all just in energetic bodies and here for the experience as we walk each other back up the latter of life." Remember:" We are all spiritual beings here having a human experience, not the other way around babe! This is why nothing has ever been easy for you."

Some physical symptoms of this process include, but are not limited to
Changes in sleep patterns this can get very serious very quickly. Either you are sleeping very little, or you are sleeping a lot and still feeling exhausted. Waking up between 2 and 4 AM is highly common during this process.
Even though your body is sleeping, your soul is still working its always working. This is why you wake up tired. Remember, the body does most of its healing while you are asleep! Your cells are shifting and repairing.
These periods of exhaustion are occurring as our bodies are remodeling and rebuilding rapidly.
On the flip side, you may find that you have little need for sleep, yet you feel great and have high energy pulsing through your body. This can also happen in spurts i.e. three days on, three days off.
Dreams become much more lucid/vivid. If you are someone that is not used to dreaming, then this can feel very odd! What is happening is that your unconscious is working hard to bring forth messages to you from your higher self. Pay attention! Keep a dream journal. Even if it seems insignificant and scattered, it will likely make sense at a later date. Consider this homework so get on it.
You experience racing thoughts
Anxiety attacks and feelings of illogical panic that come and go in waves
As you ascend you become much more sensitive to energy everything and everyone around you. You are likely picking up on others energy, And energy transfer is very very real or just an overload in your system and you are reacting through your body. Try and ground yourself and remember to breath when this happens. Go and get some air reconnect with nature. Wash you hands under warm water for 30 seconds. Drink your favorite beverage and Know that it will pass.
Episodes of dizziness and lightheadedness that come and go without warning
There is a lot of intense energy swirling around and it sometimes will feel as though the wind is knocked out of you, so slow your physical body down a bit to readjust.
Vertigo
Blood pressure spikes and dips
Headaches that come on quickly
Migraines, pressure in different areas of the head at all different times that come and go randomly. Medicine will not always, and typically does not, alleviate the pressure.
Migraines are often a sign of trapped emotion such as stress, anger, blame and shame.
Heart flutters and palpitations. Racing heart. Tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. Stabbing sensation from the back to the front, like a dagger. (Sounds fun, right)? This often happens as the Heart Chakra opens and expands. When we are hurt we may experience this, but mostly as you grow spiritually you are opening yourself to unconditional love.
*******Again, be sure there is no underlying issue before you chalk this up to the ascension process as this can also mimic a medical issue.
Always get your ticker checked Sweetpea!
Personally, I experience a lot of Heart Chakra activation’s when I am working with, and on, others. As someone who was born blue with no pulse and declared deceased, I often go to my primary doctor for routine checkups. I spoke with him about the ascension process, and he was actually receptive and enlightened by the information. He shared with me that a lot of patients have been coming to him that were having major cardiac issues or thought they were having heart attacks, yet they could not find anything physically wrong!

More Symptoms
Psychic abilities become enhanced "Beam me up Scotty!"
Ears pop and ring. Sometimes right, sometimes left, sometimes both at the same dam time
Whooshing sounds in ears, high pitched noises experienced
Visual disturbances. Seeing flashes of lights, sometimes sparkles (colors vary)
Changes in vision. Blurry eyes, pain in eye(s) that come and go, dry eyes and or burning or itchy
Itchy skin (intense itching) that lasts for sometime and then subsides
Hot flashes
Cold flashes- skin cool to the touch
Chills and prickly sensations across parts of the body without cause

When these occur at the top of your head/scalp, this is your crown chakra opening up, getting ready to receive wisdom and guidance from your higher self. This could also indicate spirit trying to connect with you and bring forth a message. Pay attention!
Random and isolated goosebumps like wait!!! What!!! Where did they come from!!!
Pins and needles through different parts of the body that come and go. Feeling like you are conducting energy is the best way to describe this
Stomach disturbances such as: nausea/ bloating/acid reflux
Changes in weight. Either weight gain or weight loss that seems rapid and unjustified.
*Sometimes we will get what is called “Buddha Belly”. This happens when someone is in a negative environment, as this is said to offer spiritual protection. The rest of the body is relatively proportioned other than this.
Changes in eating habits. Either you are starving and eating all the time, or you just are not hungry, and food is not that important.
Foods that were off limits are now appealing
Foods that were staples for you are now off limits and unappealing
As your vibration rises your body will no longer be able to tolerate certain foods/beverages. It’s ok, just go with it. Consequently, you may find yourself craving meat after being vegetarian for years. You may crave fruit after years of not caring for or wanting anything sweet. Again, listen to your body.

You desire and require more alone time
Spiraling into depressive thoughts, feeling overwhelmed. Please go speak to someone you don't have to face everything alone
Friendships change all the time some friends fall away while new ones emerge. Allow the universe to work its magic here and trust that what is meant to be, will be.
You desire true, deep and authentic connections with likeminded individuals superficial small talk no longer appeals to you at all and becomes unbearable
You experience an abundance of synchronicities (fated events/encounters). Being at the right place at the right time, seeing or hearing from someone at the exact moment you think about them, etc.

Seeing number sequences (111, 222, 777, 1010). These are your angels connecting with you, pay attention! Nothing happens by chance. these are called synchronicities and I will be posting and entire blog on them as well at a later date.
You experience crying spells and extreme sensitivity If you are like this normally, than even more so. Tears are the hearts way of bringing relief ( tattooed acrossed my collar bone) so allow them to flow!
Feeling much more intuitive. "Knowing" things without really knowing
As you begin to wake-up, you will learn to trust your higher self more and more
Feeling much more connected to nature
Feeling "hungover" but you have not drank any alcohol
You may feel "out of it" or have "brain fog"
This is almost like feeling you are in a twilight sometimes, drifting
Ok so there’s just a small list of symptoms, small my ass but that's news for another day. But feel free to email me and add some that you may have experienced or are experiencing now! Remember this is a beautiful experience! It is to be honored and cherished for what it is. You are learning to live out of the soul instead of the ego where we have been conditioned. The ego will fight to win all of the time, but it’s time to trust your soul towards true enlightenment. This often requires us to completely shift our state of consciousness, and this is not easy!

Chuga! Chuga! Chuga! Chuga! Chooo! Chooo! Please keep your hands in the windows at all times passenger's.
Some simple yet super effective ways to help you to navigate through this process are:
Drink clean, purified water! Lots of water. Keep things moving physically and emotionally. Energy gets trapped within the body and needs to be moved. This is where Reiki becomes so helpful.
Take salt baths or any type of soothing bath that brings you comfort
Be kind to yourself and take breaks when you need to. You need a nap? Take one. Need to cry? Let the tears roll.
Find a spiritual counselor, talk things through. finding a safe space is a sacred journey within itself, but you need someone to talk these experiences thru with if it be a vent buddy, a social media friend, a counselor or a therapist. Remember your truly not alone and others have sat in the same seat as you on this crazy train. We are here we want to help you so reach out.
Accept that this is a real process and honor it
Get outside and connect with the earth. This is huge for clearing your energy. Walking barefoot in the grass is a great way to reconnect when you are feeling energetically ‘off’ Grounding is what we call it, so kick off them shoes and run wild.
Watch your vices! Take it easy on your body. We are all more sensitive than normal, so please go easy on the drinking, smoking, etc.
Listen to your body! It will let you know when you need to slow down, when you need to rest, when you need to move, as a friend of mine said just the other day "Just take a nap you need it Gal."

Surround yourself with people who lift you up.
Drop the need to explain yourself! This one is particularly difficult for high level and or frequency empaths. We want to save everyone, but you must take care of yourself first, and that often means saying "NO" "NOT TODAY" "I CAN'T" and "FUCK OFF" when you need to nurture yourself.
Recognize that you are changing, situations are changing. We are here to learn and grow, to have experiences and pain is often part of the deal and honestly, ain't no way that none of us can get around the pain but we can take control of ourselves.
If at any point you are overwhelmed with symptoms, ask spirit to kindly slow the process down. I do this, and it works.
Stay Blessed Up and Beautiful
