I have come to an amazing awareness about “Awakening”. For me, Awakening happens over an extended period of time. Let me explain. For the past 8 or 9 years that I have been intentionally navigating my Spiritual journey, I encounter people who talk about “an Awakening” or “the Awakening”. In my mind, I have taken that to mean there is an event that occurs. All of a sudden, one day a light-switch goes on and I awaken from the dark and now I see the world in a whole new light.

I want to be clear, no one described it to me this way… It is me, trying to put the concept of Awakening into simple perspective. So, I have had “awakened” envy! Wondering when and if I would find my personal light-switch.

It is just like me to want to turn my Spiritual Awakening into an event. This way I can be in pursuit of it… I can plan how to master it… I can set a few goals and milestones and then check them off a list (with a red pen!). “Ahhh, DONE!”

This of course means that I have been slightly oblivious to the important aspect of Awakening – the journey! While I am trying to figure out how I can get to this elusive stage of awakened… I am potentially missing the moment. I am outside of myself looking for the answers, somewhere in the future. I wish I could tell you this realization means that I now have a clue! I don’t – what I am aware of is that these are the same stones I have turned over before, I just didn’t recognize them.

My big ah-ha moment recently, is that I have been awakening for a long time, and will continue awakening into the future. The more I connect with the messages and desires from my heart, the more I walk a more authentic path~the more I see things with a new clarity that perhaps a short while ago were obscured.

So, rather than feeling like I have made no progress towards awakening… I realize I am exactly where I am suppose to be! Seeing more clearly, each step of the way!
