What Is A Spiritual Awakening

By Catalina Nielsen


There are many experiences that a person may have during their lifetime when it comes to their personal spirituality. However, there is generally one life defining moment which most people refer to as their spiritual awakening. It is the moment that they feel that their eyes, heart, and mind were all opened for the first time when it comes to their unique beliefs and experiences. When these moments take place most people want to share their experience with friends, family, and even strangers.

Spirituality is very powerful because it is very personal. The majority of people in the world claim to be spiritual on some level. However, there are really no two people that believe exactly the same way or feel the same way when it comes to their general spirituality. That is because it is a very person matter. It is also based on numerous elements but generally focuses on the experiences that a person has had during their own spiritual uprising.

The problem with this is that many people grow frustrated because when they share their stories or experiences with others they don't feel that they truly understand where they are coming from. The fact of the matter is that they don't and most likely never will. For this to be possible they would have to share the exact experience with one another in the same manner. The chances of that taking place are slim to none.

Most people have been raised around some type of religion. They may have grown up in church or may have been exposed to different belief systems. However, until a person truly has a spiritual awakening the things they heard and the beliefs they were exposed to were probably nothing but words without true meaning and understanding.

A person who has a spiritual awakening no longer lives in their head. Instead they begin to feel things and see things in a different way. Their entire life can change for the better in a matter of moments. Though they may not completely understand what is occurring at the time, they will begin to see great changes in every aspect of their life.

The downside to religion, faith, and spirituality is that there are so many people out there that tend to force their beliefs on others or that attempt to make people experience what they have experienced. These over eager individuals are attempting to do good but instead begin to turn people off to the idea of becoming spiritual. This is specifically true when people claim to have had an awakening but instead use it as an excuse to force their ideas and opinions on others while judging them for not being the same as them.

Regardless of what anyone believes the idea and notion of a spiritual awakening cannot be denied. There are true testaments to people's lives being completely changed for the better when such things happen to them personally.

Rather than judge those that claim to have had such a spiritual awakening, one should simply be pleased when these events have happened and have had a positive result. Though all people judge, there may come a time when one needs to simply accept what they can't understand.
