Note: this video is a continuation of a topic I started in my previous video. So make sure to watch the 1st one here, before heading into this post.
If you had asked me before 2013 to rate how hard a spiritual awakening could be, I would have probably said this with a smile on my face:
“Piece of cake! Sign me up!”
But by April of 2014 (one year into my awakening), I was starting to question my own sanity.
I was feeling such intense inner conflict that I couldn’t tell up from down or left from right anymore.
Was I depressed?
Was it just severe childhood trauma that was healing?
Could I actually be mentally ill?
Was I physically sick?
I remember in those days, the only thing that kept me relatively stable was my daily meditation routine and the constant knowing that I was loved by the energy that creates worlds (some call it God).
And there was a part of me, deep in my heart, that knew everything was going to be just fine.
Better than fine.
But in the darkest moments of a spiritual awakening, it’s sometimes hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You just feel like you may sit in your own sh*t for the rest of your life.
If that’s how you’re feeling right now, know that I’m sending you a big hug and so much love. I’ve been there and can feel your pain and struggles.
And today, I’m going to share 3 crucial lessons I learned during my spiritual awakening so that yours goes more smoothly.
Because here’s the honest truth:
I made some mistakes and got stuck many times during my awakening.
If I had known back then what I’m about to share with you in this video, I believe my awakening would have been a lot easier. But that’s ok.
On the positive side, I’ve made good use of my struggles by putting them into bite-size lessons that will now help you in your own awakening process.

Thank you so much from a fellow 7! Great videos.
That was an eye-opener. I’ve never thought of a 7 as a rebel, but that explains so much in my life (I’m questioning everything and always look for the logic in the issue). Odd but I’ve read that 7 is a servant number. (No way – I’m not a slave – but I don’t mind serving the common good and fight for Justice and fairness for all and everything).
I do know myself – as much as it’s possible to know the ever evolving self (warts and all – love Jung’s Archetype) but have had a hard time understanding, that other peoples opinion is just a reflection of themselves.
I’m really good at letting go, especially of others, that are not beneficiary (both for me and for themselves ) anymore but doubt my decisions when people cling to me and try to lower my energy level again to get me back in sync with them. Even my kids – whom I love more then life – have a hard time understanding who I can set them so free without demands on their time (31 and 34 now) – they have their own lives to live and plenty others to cling to them. I’ve given them as much as I could in their upbringing. now it’s their turn to find their way in life (They know I’m here and how to contact me if they need me).
My biggest issue right now is probably to ask for help – working on it.
Your open heart-test was extremely enlightening – hard to answer without seeing the problems in the process
Looking forward to your newsletters.
