What it means to be WOKE.
Often people misunderstand what a spiritual awakening is. I know for myself I was Four years into my spiritual awakening before I realized what was happening. It can happen subtly over time with small shifts in your consciousness, small shifts in your beliefs as your awareness begins to expand and remember its truth. It can also happen abruptly through many different ways including traumatic experiences, death of loved ones, illness or even spontaneous Kundalini energy rising.
However, I have noticed many believe an awakening to being or becoming psychic, a medium, a witch, a healer, a hippy, and some even perceive it as crazy or mental illness. All of those perceptions miss the whole concept completely. Yes, it will often awaken our extrasensory abilities but this is a by-product of our awakening, a gift to ourselves to be able to access the unconscious, subconscious and fragmented aspects of ourselves in order to fully be supported on our spiritual journey of remembrance that we are more than this human experience. Our extrasensory abilities are not awakening for us to jump into service and to utilize them to make money. You make money by changing your reality, by changing whats projected from your internal being. This is why some of the best teachers and healers lead from their own transformation.
