I think the most difficult phase after a spiritual awakening is when you’re stuck in your own head and can’t figure out what direction to take.
With so many possibilities, it’s hard to know where to start, what you want your life to look like.
I don’t know if all people who awaken go through this phase or not, but I know that I did.
For months, I had no idea what to do with my life. All the possibilities were so overwhelming to me.
I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to come up with an idea that would last, but then it came to me.
I knew that I wanted to write. I wanted to write about my experience of awakening and what I have learned from my experiences along the way.
It’s been a powerful learning experience, and it’s one that I’ve been extremely grateful for.

Our Mission
I truly believe that each of us has a mission in life, something we were meant to do.
Maybe it’s something big and grandiose, like changing the world, or maybe it’s something simple and self-serving, like creating a peaceful home.
Either way, we all have a mission that we were meant to fulfill.
While we’re alive and breathing on this planet, we need to be doing what we were meant to do.
I’m sure there will be missteps along the way because nobody is perfect. But as long as you keep consciously working toward your goal every day, you’ll get there eventually.
The Phases of a Spiritual Awakening
When a person has a spiritual awakening, there are many phases that they go through.
First, there is the phase of learning. People begin learning about spirituality like they never have before.
They want to know everything there is to know, and they want to learn it all at once.
They want to know what’s going on with other people’s spiritual awakenings, and what it means to be a spiritual being.
Then, there is the phase of living.
This is when people begin to live their newfound spirituality.
This is when followers begin to immerse themselves in their faith and sacrifices become greater than ever before.
While this experience is a huge learning experience, living a fully conscious life is what’s going to bring about the greatest rewards.
Once people have lived their lives for a while, they begin to think about the future again.
After all, they’re going to be dead soon enough. So what will they do with their time left on Earth?
In my experience, this is typically where people get lost in their own heads.
They’re no longer living their lives fully, and they’re engulfed in doing things that they think are important or exciting, but never actually get done.
Once people stop living their lives fully, the spiritual world becomes the only thing that will keep them interested.
Getting ‘Stuck in the Head’
So what is it like to be stuck in your head?
What does it feel like to be so wrapped up in thoughts about spirituality and life after awakening?
I guess if you’ve never experienced this before, then you can’t truly understand what it’s like.
It’s a lonely feeling. When you’re stuck in your head, you’re completely alone with your thoughts.
Nobody else understands what it’s like, and that can be a scary thing to go through for some people.
This phase of being alive is a very difficult time for many people.
I know that it was for me because I didn’t have anyone to relate to who was going through the same things as me. Well, at least at first anyway.
As I spent more and more time learning about spirituality and learning about other people’s spiritual experiences, I began to realize that many other people were having the same problems as me.
That was a profound realization for me because it meant that there were other people out there who understood what it was like to be a spiritual being in this crazy world.
I didn’t think there were any others like me and I was worried and scared and perplexed that the only way to feel like I was connecting with other people was to become a teacher.
And that felt really empty because I really wanted to be a writer. That’s all I wanted to do!
I needed to figure out how living a life of writing could fit into my purpose, and what else would be important in my life.
I wasn’t ready to give up on writing, but I didn’t know how I was going to make it all work.
So it became my mission, my goal in life to become a writer and fulfill my purpose in doing so.
I didn’t want to waste any more time. I kept writing, and eventually an idea came to me. I began writing about my experience of awakening and what I have learned along the way.
It’s been a powerful learning experience, and I’ve been very grateful for it.
I’m just getting started, but I have high hopes. It’s become an important part of my life now, and I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences with the world.
As long as people are trying to make sense of their experiences after awakening, there is work to do.
Each Person has an Individual Experience
Each person will have their own experiences within their awakening and the phases that follow will vary in their difficulty and intensity.
Still, I believe that we will all go through each of these phases one way or another.
When we’re in the phase of learning, there’s a lot to be learned about spirituality and other people’s experiences.
We need to broaden our horizons and gain as much knowledge as we possibly can.
This is the time when our learning should become an important part of our lives and spirituality should begin to take over other aspects of our lives.
When we’re living our newfound spirituality, we become even more immersed in our faith and sacrifice becomes greater than ever before.
We begin to immerse ourselves in our lives and accept the challenges that life gives us.
This is a time when we want to commit to living fully and not be afraid to take risks.
After people have lived their lives for a while, they begin to think about the future again.
We start thinking about what life after death will be like, or what it means to be a great person of faith, etc.
These are important things to think about, but we all need to be careful not to get wrapped up in it.
When we’re stuck in our heads after a spiritual awakening, we’re as lost as we can possibly be.
Our purpose becomes clouded and we lose focus on what’s truly important in life.
If you haven’t experienced what it’s like to be stuck in your head after a spiritual awakening, don’t feel bad.
Nobody has a complete understanding of what it’s like to be a spiritual being. But there are plenty of us out there who will give you a little insight into what it’s like.
I’ve been through this phase, and I still have problems from time to time.
I know that many other people have gone through it too, but mostly we’re all alone with our thoughts until we find the right person to relate to us and give us hope for the future.
The phase of being stuck in your head is difficult but there are plenty of us who have gone through it. And no matter how bad you feel, you’re not alone in what you’re experiencing.
So don’t be afraid to share your story with the world, and don’t be afraid to reach out to others who are having similar difficulties with their faith.
Once we’ve learned what needs to be learned, lived our lives fully for a while, and thought long enough about the future, life has another lesson for us.
Final Thoughts
Each phase of a spiritual awakening is different and have their own challenges.
We all have different experiences, but they are all similar to each other in some way.
The differences are the challenges that each phase gives us.
I know that I’ve had my problems with overcoming these challenges, but I’ll keep trying.
I’ll keep working towards my goal of becoming a writer and fulfilling my purpose in life to bring what I’ve learned along the way into the world.
I hope that this was helpful for you and will help you on your spiritual journey as well.
I’m still figuring it all out myself and I’m still practicing and learning new things every day about spirituality and how to live as a spiritual being.
Take one day at a time and don’t be afraid to reach out to the world around you.
There is a community of people who will support you no matter what happens.
Remember that you’re not alone in this.
