Loss and loneliness are common during the spiritual awakening process.

At some point in time we each begin to awaken to who we really are, beyond the physical, beyond the conditioning and programming, and beyond the many games we play as humans on this ever evolving planet.

We chose to come here, knowing we would lose ourselves in the density of unconscious, knowing we would play and struggle with limitation and control, and also knowing that the challenges, suffering and insights we experience would support us to awaken from this illusion of separation.

As conscious rapidly evolves these days, more and more of us are awakening, and quickly. This triggers an array of ascension symptoms, including feelings of loss and loneliness. Of all the symptoms, I find these to be hardest at times. No matter how many well meaning, loving and supportive people you have around you, the lonely blues still set in.

Loss is triggered because we are letting go of everything we are not – roles that no longer suit us, relationships we have outgrown or released attachment to, and false beliefs that have limited us. Even the old hurts and wounds can feel sad to release as they somehow provided a sense of safety by hanging on to them.

As we go through a release process we may feel alone until we fully connect to our true selves, our authentic being, and our oneness with God, creator, consciousness, or whatever you call the Source of all life. Of course we are already, and have always been, a part of this Oneness, but our perception of duality in these bodies created an illusion of separation. Hence why we have tried to fill ourselves with people, projects, and material objects.

If you are going through a spiritual awakening process, now is the time to put your focus on who you truly are, above and beyond the feelings of loss and loneliness. While it’s important to acknowledge and accept these feelings for them to release, having a slightly bigger focus on your higher truth will prevent you from losing yourself in the density of lower vibrations.

Here are some suggestions to help you through this process.

~ Know it is a natural process. Spiritual awakening is as natural as childbirth (and unfortunately, as painful at times). Reminding yourself of this will help your mind and body to relax and trust the process. You’re not dying (except to what no longer serves you), and you’re not alone. You are one with everything in existence.

~ Connect to your true self. Spend time during the day to tune into who you are beyond your mind and body, but within. You are a magnificent, powerful spiritual being who is here to awaken and enjoy what it feels like to be expansive, limitless and free in a physical body. Feel into your true essence and let it soothe any feelings of loss and loneliness.

~ Merge with God/Source. You are one with the Source of all life; you are a unique expression of God. Feel the love flowing through your heart, feel your true innocence, feel your connection to the earth, the stars, and all of creation. From this space, there is no such thing as aloneness.

~ Connect with a spiritual friend. When someone who operates from their higher self gives us a hello, we feel it down to our core. It reminds us of who we are and that we are not alone. Call a spiritual friend or healer to share a brief conversation and be reminded that you are so much more than your physical body and thinking mind.

May your heart be so open that it embraces your whole body and mind with the reassurance of love.
