How Common Is a Spiritual Awakening? (You Will Be Surprised)

There is no quantifiable answer: everyone’s experience is different.

It can happen to you—it probably has happened to you—and it might happen again.

Some people wait for a lifetime before having a spiritual awakening, and others have one multiple times throughout their lives.

What is a Spiritual Awakening?

A spiritual awakening can happen for any person, and the term has been used to describe a variety of experiences.

A person can experience a spiritual awakening alone, with a guide, or in a group.

It can occur during formal meditation or when performing daily activities such as washing dishes or walking through the woods.

It is different than becoming religious, which is about institutional membership and affiliation.

A spiritual awakening can feel like the most profound experience in life, but others may describe it differently.

Some people describe it as a “moment of grace” that allows them to embrace their true self.

Others describe it as a “mystical experience” in which the individual feels transported into another dimension.

Still others say that they feel “at one with God.”

There are many different terms that can be used for this phenomenon, but they all share the same basic characteristics.

What Has Happened?

The most important step in having a spiritual awakening is recognizing when it is happening.

That might seem like an easy task, but it can be hard to spot when you are deep in the throes of the experience.

The sensation feels like a deep feeling of bliss or inner peace, often accompanied by visions.

It is not uncommon for the person to feel an overwhelming sense of joy and love at this point.

This is when the most profound change in life can occur.

The next step in the process is to recognize that your experience is different from how others are perceiving it.

Since all people have different experiences, everyone’s spiritual awakening will be unique.

Whether you feel like you are waking up from a deep sleep or falling down a well, the feeling of being transported is not necessarily the same.

What one person might see as being part of their imagination, another might see as being taken to another dimension.

This experience often includes what some call “spiritual technologies”—meaning something otherworldly or supernatural—but it can also include feelings of encountering your own soul, meeting your higher self, or experiencing God.

Many people who have had spiritual awakenings feel like they are tapping into something extraordinary, but only the individual can decide whether the experience is spiritual or imaginary.

Some people believe that spiritual awakenings are hallucinations, while others believe that it is the mind’s true self coming into full consciousness.

When having a spiritual awakening, it is your responsibility to figure out what was real and what was imaginary.

This will allow you to move forward in life with an understanding of both your own identity and your place in this universe.

While some people say that they can never truly differentiate between their own thoughts and what is real, the truth of the matter is that we all have a sense of self, and we all know what our imagination feels like.

The experience of having a spiritual awakening can come as a profound gift to humanity.

It can serve as a reminder to all people that we are not alone in the universe.

It can also provide us with insight into ourselves and our place in this world.

These are all facets of the same universal truth, and everyone can see themselves as part of this universe. It is something to think about when you are having a spiritual awakening.

The Consequences

It is important to recognize that you are not alone because it can be overwhelming at first.

The feeling of being transported into another dimension often includes transitions—a “blinking out” period followed by transitioning into what you perceive as being part of your normal world again.

The experienced “blinking out” period can feel like you are leaving your physical body and traveling through a tunnel toward a bright light.

Sometimes, the bright light is an angel and other times it is God.

Other people see this as a different conception of what they believe to be their higher selves or soul mates.

Once the transition has occurred, the person experiencing the spiritual awakening may find that he or she is connecting with nature or other people in a way that feels inexplicably profound.

The person may feel as though this is the first time he or she has felt whole or happy in a long time.

While this experience might be brief, it is sometimes enough to change your life around.

Sometimes, understanding that we are all interconnected can allow us to see the reason we are here and find out what we should be doing with our lives.

The Rewards

Receiving a spiritual awakening can help you to see yourself as part of a greater whole, and that sense of connection and community can help you live better and love more deeply.

It can also bring a greater sense of peace and self-understanding.

It is a compelling experience, and some people create a new way of life based on what they learned while going through it.

Final Thoughts

So, to answer the question of how common is a spiritual awakening, it is best to look at the facts.

The facts are clear:

There are far more people who have had spiritual awakenings than those who have never had them.

It is also true that many of these experiences are brief and transient, but a significant portion of people who have had a spiritual awakening feel as though they will never be the same again.

For some, this awakening can last a lifetime, but some may find it to be a temporary experience.

I would like to end with a note of caution:

Even though having a spiritual awakening can be life-changing, it is important to remember that the experience you have may not be as profound as you might hope.

If you are trying to “get” something from this experience, then you are taking the wrong approach.

Spiritual awakenings are not something that should be pursued or planned for. They are meant to occur naturally, at the right time—and when they do, they tend to recur.

So, if you are experiencing the symptoms of a spiritual awakening, then it is most likely that you are having one.

If not, then most likely you are not.

Either way is fine, but if you are feeling as though something is happening to your life right now, then your experience could be very seminal.
