When I think of my life from 2010-2012 and then again 2018-2020. I think of the Tower card from the tarot deck. Like look at this image….

What do you see? Chaos, confusion, jumping out of a building not knowing if you’re going to survive the plunge, and total destruction!!! Although those have pretty negative connotations, they are positive. When you go through spiritual awakenings, tower moments are unavoidable. Reason being, what is inside of you no longer energetically matches your external world. Your new frequency (which is higher) is calling out to the universe bringing in “the new”! New, although exciting it is excruciatingly terrifying at the same time. Thankfully (I guess), this is my “second” spiritual awakening. Cheers to constant inner growth. What has kept me going is what I have learned from my first….

Tips for TOWER MOMENTS during Spiritual Awakening

• Things crumbled that needed to be rebuilt on better foundations or new perspectives. Look at it as a chance to rebuild something you will love to live in.
• Darkness happens so that we can hold more light. You will not be stuck here forever. Allow the dark to show you what lessons your moving past.
• You will lose a lot. It will hurt. Feel the pain so you can move past it and some day it will be wisdom.
• Let yourself fall apart to an extent but don’t get lost in it all.
• If you need to, find a spiritual mentor or reach out to a trusted friend, follow blogs like this, Facebook groups, read about it on the internet (I didn’t have that luxury my first go around. There is support out there.)
• Be aware of ‘muggles” who may think you are crazy. I have on multiple occasions had people want to use my spiritual awakenings against me.
• You will want to distract yourself with all the pain you are feeling. Try to avoid using alcohol, drugs, sex, food, shopping, etc… as a means of making yourself feel better.
• Ground, meditate, spend time in nature away from people, walk or exercise in general aka TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, YOU ARE FRAGILE AT THIS POINT.
• Self-love and grace are huge
• Keep a journal! A lot of what does not make sense now, will later.
• It’s not easy. It’s not really fun. It’s worth it though.
• Breath consciously. Breathe again. And repeat.
• Trust that you will be okay and something higher is with you as you journey forward because… your spirit team is!!!
• Remember after the rainstorm comes the rainbow!!!

Well wishes on your journey! And cheers to a rebuilding year.
