For any of my Spirit friends in the U.S. today, it’s Memorial Day. Let’s take a moment to honor all the war heroes who sacrificed so much for our freedom here. It’s the home of the free because of the BRAVE! You will always be remembered in our hearts and never forgotten…

The Ascension Process… Do you know what this is or how it affects you? I’ve been meaning to share this for quite some time now but seemed to have other topics coming to the surface. In my book Spirit and Belief  there is a section called “Signs of a Spiritual Awakening”  and some of these happened to me quite some time ago now. I believe there are certain terms we can use to describe spiritual aspects so you might be familiar with others. Ascension technically won’t happen until you pass physically but there are signs and symptoms that get you closer to the Divine, Source, or a Creator. They also will guide you along the way to finding your true purpose and those other three words I have mentioned of Love, Service, and Healing. That all connects to Source, Self, and Others of a few weeks ago. For me personally, the awakening was a beginning of letting go of things that no longer served me. It can be people, places, things, ideas or beliefs, diet, lifestyle choices, and similar stuff. The Ascension I describe as more physical symptoms or some may refer to it as Kundalini Rising. The Hindus believe that begins at the base of the spine like a serpent coiled as it rises up thru the chakras of the body.

This energy will manifest its way differently for all who practice forms of spiritual disciplines. This may happen to you or it may not. The time in your life is determined by the Universe when you are ready. It can be as prayer, meditation, yoga, breath work, stillness, divination, or anything that connects you to a presence greater than your own. You can interpret which ideas best resonate the most but with time, practicing consistently, and patience, things will transform in a new way. For anyone who remains dedicated to some of these practices, you will feel lighter, a shift in emotions, less judgmental, compassionate, or just switching interests sometimes that you can’t explain. When I first began meditating, a slight tingling sensation would occur near my third eye and then I would feel lifted up by my crown like adjusting your posture. I was never really freaked out about it as I knew it was part of this process. Some people have way more intense experiences but for me, that means it’s working and I am connecting to my Higher Self.

Now, I will share my own physical symptoms of this Ascension Process or Kundalini Rising that happened to me back in the fall. Again, this is personal to me as yours may be similar or a little different. It actually started last year in mid-June as it didn’t bother me too much. I connected to something else and it did go away. Then, late October came and it was way more intense than June. A few days prior, I felt a little light headed or warm and truly thought I’d faint. Thank goodness I didn’t as I was in a public place at an event! Again though, it subsided and I just thought I got overheated. That has happened a few times in my life before faintness came on. A few days later by mid-afternoon it had intensified into extreme heart palpitations that kept increasing. I had stuff to do and my son’s Fall Band concert was that night… No idea what this was from and perhaps I was coming down with something. ( pre COVID-19!)

I made it thru the concert but barely and just kept sending out there to please don’t have me faint in front of all these people…. After taking some medicine and going to bed early, I truly thought that was what I needed to do. An hour passed and I woke my husband to have him take me to the ER. We left our kids asleep ( they are old enough) and went to the hospital at 11:30 p.m.. The doctors would surely know something, right? I told them it felt like I was having a heart attack which are not words someone my age wants to say. They immediately hooked me up to all the necessary machines and monitored my blood pressure, heart rate, and all that. I was sent for an MRI and chest X-ray. My heart was literally racing friends. Earlier in the evening, I had my husband put his hand on my chest and he couldn’t feel anything at all. How come I could feel this and sense this and he couldn’t? Guess what? The doctors and nurses couldn’t either. We were there over three hours and they couldn’t find anything at all. I was told to follow up with a cardiologist at a later date if this continued but more for peace of mind. They did also tell me how it could be thyroid imbalance, perimenopause, or a hormonal situation as that does happen to women of my age. They weren’t that concerned until I found out how the Nurses Station never picked up on any irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia at all.

The symptoms did subside but not fully until a few weeks later. I really didn’t want to see the cardiologist and have a heart compression done as perhaps a medical doctor down the street at our center could do that? A walk-in would surely keep me there for hours as I prayed for guidance on this. Very scary indeed friends….. This is around the time of my first visit with my psychic friend which I blogged back in December. I was so going to cancel our appointment even though I made it weeks ago. My symptoms had subsided just a little but left me with little or no appetite. My husband actually suggested I go as perhaps she could help in some way. When I got to her house, I explained my current situation as that was not the reason in seeing her at all. She placed her hand near my heart center and could feel this energy. She felt it and so did I but no one else. We didn’t explore it right away but then she did become aware of the condition with my guides help. I was experiencing a Spiritual Connection and she did give me details but those I will leave private. It is all part of my Ascension Process or Kundalini Rising. She did suggest changes I should make and messages from my Guides that would assist me. I did a youtube video also on this called : ” Should You see a Psychic?” Look for that on my channel if interested on hearing me explain in a different way. Your situation can be very different than mine was but we all evolve in our own time.

So, Spirit Friends this was my personal experience but I must also add there is more. A few nights later, my legs were shaking violently when trying to sleep and nothing seemed to help. I learned how that too can be symptoms as part of detoxing negative emotions. There are many signs and they can feel terrible. While in the hospital, I was scared but could always BREATHE. Perhaps I knew or my soul knew it was not a heart attack. Between the IV giving my fluids and the BP cuff inflating every few minutes, I was drained. “Psychic rest” is what I need being dehyrated as well. My strength was zapped and I wasn’t used to napping the afternoon away for a few days. I did improve and changed some things— remember the Detox post or the Natural products?

Symptoms can be anything from heart palpitations, lethargy, shaking, breathing difficulties, tightness in the chest, ( your heart chakra is opening) wanting to sleep more, loss of interest in activities briefly, or other signs of awakening your chakra energy centers. Yes, it is painful and can last for awhile but if you cannot find a physical cause and you are a spiritual practitioner, the ascension is beginning for you. It will get better I promise and there are those in the Metaphysical arts that can help or guide you thru this. There are classes like Chakra clearing, past life therapy, Reiki, or even a chiropractor as I have been told. Change your diet, lifestyle, interests, and anything else that can assist you during this stressful time.

***  I am linking a brief Mantra Meditation video on my channel to help with repeating affirmations. Let me know if this serves you:

*** If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, please know it can be medically related so please check yourself out. If it is spiritually connected, meditate and ask your guides or Higher Self for guidance. It is temporary and all part of you tapping in to your Divine nature. I wish you well and let me know how your process develops…. Research symptoms important to you for overall health and well-being. Again, this is ALL energy and how it moves thru the body. To me, my awakening was more letting go of stuff but the ascension is more physical. Both are very emotional and will affect you in numerous ways.

~~~ Next week, I will be talking about being a Genius. Yep, we ALL are in ways you may not realize. Until then, stay tuned and stay true Spirit friends (: Find me also on twitter, youtube, and pinterest.
