Spiritual transformation means going through a shift in consciousness and having an internal awakening as to how you see yourself and the world around you. It is connecting to the essence of who you are, apart from the physical form, and having a profound realization of your timeless wisdom and true nature. In this post, I am sharing with you more about what does it mean to be spiritually transformed — 10 signs of awakening spiritually and how to know if you are already going through the process of realizing the infinite love that you truly are.
Sign #1. Compassion
As you are awakening, you are developing a sense of compassion and understanding for other people, knowing that every individual you come into contact with is also, just like you are, on a journey back to love, to who we truly all are. You are understanding where they are in their spiritual evolution, why they’re behaving the way they do and the evolutionary process they’re going through. You are seeing others as living their own individual paths in life, just as you do, and the feelings of compassion, kindness and gentleness are what naturally come out of you, regardless of who they are being in the moment. Because you already know that we are all, just as what spirirtual teacher Ram Dass said, “walking each other home”.
Sign #2. Open-mindedness and Non-judgment
You are becoming more open-minded about everything in the Universe, and you are getting more interested in knowing how powerful your thoughts are and how you are creating your own reality with it. You are able to feel deep excitement and passion to gain more knowledge on these things about who you are, what your purpose here is, and how connected everything and everyone is in this Universe. You are able to relinquish judgment about new information and learning, and are able to embrace and resonate with these new transformative ideas.
Sign #3. Detachment
You are gradually learning to detach from the habit of letting the things outside of you to control your identity and the way you feel. You are moving away from attaching your identity to external things, and are rather finding more joy and fulfillment on your internal journey, your inner development and becoming. You are now shifting the importance from doing-ness (external stuff) to being-ness (connecting within yourself).
Sign #4. Peacefulness Rather Than Defensiveness
You no longer feel the need to prove yourself or your rightness, and you no longer participate in arguments that get in the way of your emotions. You are beginning to prioritize taking care of your emotional world, rather than trying to convince anyone of your point of view. You respect and accept differing opinions, and you become a peacemaker rather than someone confrontational or argumentative. You can now peacefully observe and accept how others are expressing themselves, without feeling the defensiveness on your part. You feel no competition and no need to prove another person wrong.
Sign #5. Deep Connection And Solitude
As you awaken, you will be able to establish deeper connections in the close relationships that you have. You will no longer feel the need to be surrounded by lots of people to feel a sense of belongingness, but rather you will cherish the close relationships that you have. You will likewise enjoy and be comfortable with moments of solitude and alone time with yourself to do the things you personally enjoy. You will become more independent in managing your own happiness and emotions, not needing to depend on other people to make you feel good and whole. You will see the value in “minding your own business” (minding your own vibrations), instead of messing up your energy by paying attention to the noises and chaos outside.
Sign #6. Responsibility
With your awakening, you already know that you are creating your own experiences in life, and you are releasing the need to blame anyone or your outside environment for how you are feeling and how you are experiencing your life. You are able to accept complete responsibility for what comes to you, knowing that there are no accidents and everything happens for a beneficial reason. Instead of taking control of the people and situations around you, you are now putting your control where it really is, on your internal world.
Sign #7. Meditation And Mindfulness
You are learning about the importance of regularly quieting the mind, and releasing any judgment and negativity. You are allowing this raising of your consciousness by choosing to be peaceful and serene in your own thoughts, knowing how powerful thoughts and words are. You are enjoying this calm, inner experience of connecting to your core self. This is usually achieved through practicing meditation or mindfulness on a daily basis.
Sign #8. Physical Well-Being
You are not only taking care of yourself emotionally, but you are also taking steps to care for your physical body as well. Eating healthy, having proper hydration, and engaging in daily exercise are becoming a part of your everyday health regimen. Maintaining a high level of energy is now important to you, and you are becoming more loving towards yourself and more desiring of physical longevity.
Sign #9. Flowing And Trusting
As you awaken, you are becoming more trusting of how the things in your life are unfolding. You know that everything that is happening around you is part of the perfect Universal process, and is happening just as how it is supposed to be. You are no longer living worried and in a hurry, nor rushing things along. The quality of the present moment becomes enhanced. You are savoring every present moment that you have, not needing to obsessively manage all the details. You are now unattached to specific outcomes as you are able to flow more easily with life, not needing to know the how, but trusting that answers and solutions will all come at the right time.
Sign #10. Embracing Your Becoming
With this tenth sign, you are feeling the inner excitement in becoming more of who you truly are everyday and embracing your process of transformation as it unfolds. You are deeply understanding that you are continuously evolving and growing in life, and you are unconditionally loving yourself along the way. You are following your own joy, and feeling good is now your everyday goal. And because you are a teacher at your core, you are allowing your joy and happiness to shine outward, and influence and inspire other people to raise their own consciousnesses as well.
