ASCENSION SYMPTOMS

[00:00:01] Speaker A: Welcome to Woowooville, the next stop on your spiritual journey, hosted by two fellow travelers who found a soul connection on the path of higher consciousness. Our goal is to help you navigate the choppy waters you're likely to encounter on the spiritual path by sharing our experiences with you each week. Join us as we spill the tea on what it's like to wake up to your authentic self. My name is Ameril, and I'm here with. [00:00:31] Speaker B: I'm Lola, and we have been bringing this podcast to you to help people who are new to the spiritual journey and a few of our friends who've been there for a while and are learning a thing or two that we have to share as well. But one of the things that I didn't know about, well, fortunately I knew about in a way because I'd already seen it demonstrated with a friend of mine who had started to grow spirit spiritually. And that's the topic we're covering today, which is Ascension symptoms. So had you even heard about those when you started to shift your perceptions, when you went down the spiritual road? [00:01:13] Speaker A: I'm gonna be honest, and I'm gonna say absolutely not, because, honestly, I got the wrong idea. When I first started, it was like there was this whole push of love and light. And not that we're not like, obviously there's. We're both shadow and light, but what I'm saying is, like, there was a lot that was, like, really sugar coated in a way of just making it sound like it was going to be this easy road. There was never going to be anything. So even with Ascension symptoms, it was kind of. It came later. And, yeah, I was not prepared. In fact, no one had ever mentioned anything about it. And I was, like, so clueless because I really just thought it was like some people and it was just physical symptoms. But today we're going to talk about it because I think that we can all definitely relate to Ascension symptoms. And because they are happening, we're shifting so fast, the energy is, like, off the charts at time. And, you know, even for people that aren't sensitive to energy, like, for example, those that have not really awakened or whatever, you're gonna find things in common that will connect with you because it's part of your ascension symptoms, too. So. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Yeah, well, let's backtrack a little bit, because I liked what you said. You know, when you start on the spiritual journey and you make that commitment to, like, wow, there's some something within me that's beautiful that I'm starting to unveil and I feel this connection to the divine. And I think there's a tendency, new people, me included, and it sounds like Amaral as well, to think everything is just going to be rosy and peachy from here on in. And you're going to be, you know, all you have to do is say ohm a couple times and wear a white linen shirt and have the wind blow through your hair on a mountain. And that's what your life's going to be from here on in. Well, that's the image. But what in reality happens is when we shift our thoughts, our emotions, or our spiritual concepts, or all of them, all of the above. That can happen really quickly, right? Yeah, instantly. Our body, on the other hand, lives on a different time schedule. So we can shift quickly on a spiritual time schedule, but when we're dealing with Gaia's forms, we have to live by her rules. She moves slower and not as fast as our thoughts and our ability to shift spiritually and emotionally. So what happens is you'll have a commitment. You make like, I'm going to do some shadow work, and you uncover something emotional and you look at it and you forgive yourself and others who are involved. This is just one example. And great. You did that in your mind, you did in your heart. Right. And now your body has to play catch up. So that's what Ascension symptoms are. You've made a change that causes your physical chemistry to go, what did you just do to me? And the body's doing its best to try to catch up to the change. So this is why people have physical symptoms when they have a spiritual shift. [00:04:33] Speaker A: Um, also along with that, Lola, one thing I wanted to mention and the reason why I even mentioned about. Because there is spiritual symptoms, right. And so, like, for those that may not have not yet fully devoted themselves of, I'm going to be doing a spiritual path. They start feeling symptoms already. And within those symptoms, those symptoms can be perceived as something like just questioning of things. And those are part of Ascension symptoms, too. So I think we should start from the very beginning of just explaining which are what are spiritual symptoms. [00:05:16] Speaker B: Yes. Because we're going to discover in this particular episode that it's not just physical ascension symptoms. It's going to be mental symptoms, emotional symptoms, and spiritual spiritual symptoms as well. So. [00:05:29] Speaker A: So do you want me to start with the first bullet point? [00:05:32] Speaker B: I think we. Yeah, we're going to dive into? This is what drives you once you get this igniting spark in you about spirituality. So that's what we mean about spiritual Symptoms. And this is something we found online and we agreed with what we saw here. So. Yes. Why don't you. You tell us the first thing we. That we. We talked about. [00:05:52] Speaker A: Okay. So the first thing is a desire for a deeper meaning or purpose. So this is really interesting because I know that a lot of you guys can relate, but there came a time where I felt like I was a hamster at a wheel. Like my life was just doing the same things. No changes, Absolutely the same in. It's that time where we all question ourselves and we say, there's gotta be, like a deeper meaning to it. There's gotta be a purpose. Like, what is it that I'm missing, but yet I'm not being fulfilled in life? And it's that calling almost like the. That really what it is, is the call to go within because we're too focused on the outside. But at that time, we can't acknowledge it because we've never been talked about it. We never heard about it. We have not experienced it. So that's why, when it's so important to recognize when the time is right for everyone, because we can't force anyone and everybody has to come to terms with it too. [00:07:09] Speaker B: I think most people can relate to this feeling that there's got to be more to life than this. There just has to be. When we're caught on that nine to five routine, going to a job we don't particularly like and having not much quality time with our family or even ourselves. So, yeah, so it all starts with a desire for that deeper meaning. What is my purpose? That's one of the most common questions people ask me in tarot readings. What's my purpose? Well, part of your purpose is just to enjoy the Earth experience. [00:07:43] Speaker A: Yep. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Which I can already hear people groaning in the audience going, but I don't enjoy the Earth experience. That's why you're looking for a deeper meaning. [00:07:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:51] Speaker B: Right. So I think most of us can relate to the first one here. And the second one is a feeling. [00:07:58] Speaker A: Of being out of sync with the world. [00:08:01] Speaker B: I've always felt that. I have never been, I guess because I've always been an artist and I've never bought into, like, life has to be this way. I've always been looking at it as an outsider going, why do people think this is the way it's supposed to be? Why? Why? You know, I grew up in the suburbs of Seattle, and it's just like, why is everybody so cookie cutter? [00:08:28] Speaker A: Well, and I find it that. And I don't know if you agree with me on this. But I feel that especially because our first people, they kind of guide us through life and show us how life's supposed to be about. Is our parents. Right? And there's, like, a sense of confirmity, conformity that they go through. And they feel like that's right. Like, because you look at your parents and at least they don't want to. Well, some, I guess, do share how they're not happy with their lives, but. [00:08:58] Speaker B: For the most part, they're trying to do the best. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Yeah, they're trying to do their best because nobody gets a book either of, like, this is. [00:09:04] Speaker B: And they swallowed the same pill that we, you know, their. Their parents swallowed and that we end up swallowing, too. [00:09:11] Speaker A: And feeling out of sync with the world is very interesting because I remember being little in. I mean, I grew up in Mexico, right. But there was, like, a lot of things that I always question because there was a lot of anger, first of all, right. And then when people got really angry, they didn't know how to express that anger in ways which was creative or just ways to cope with the anger. Instead, I found that I was around a lot of people that exploded on each other, on the kids. Thing was, there was a lot of violence because they didn't know how to deal with their anger and even its circumstances. I got to witness a lot of adults going into violence because they just. They just didn't know how to cope with things. And it just brings us back to the very simplest form of. So when I witnessed that growing up, I was like, I feel like there's something way better to life than just this. [00:10:22] Speaker B: And I think that a lot of people. And I'm sorry you went through that growing up, but a lot of people have had that thought as children. It's like this. There's got to be more. And that year, I'm going to say yearning. It is a yearning, isn't it? It's a yearning for what is it? What is it? There's got to be something better. And as we go into adulthood, that yearning gets stronger and stronger and stronger. As we stood start the word my guides are using, submitting to what we're told is is normal in the system, you know? [00:10:53] Speaker A: And what was really interesting is that even back then, I already was having a connection with something greater than me, but I didn't realize it. And it came in the form of daydreaming while people were going at their chaotic moment. I was just shown off, and I would just be like, in this happy land. Where things were like, happy and you were there and you were enjoying yourself and you were enjoying your life. So a good, I guess a coping mechanism that I developed without even realizing was daydreaming in it. I was doing pretty good with that until all of a sudden one of my own parents was like, it's time to grow up. You can't live an imagination. Like imagination. You can't live off of your imagination all the time. You have to grow up someday. And that was really weird to me because imagination is such a creative outlet to create, and you cannot create anything unless you imagine it first. So it was almost like an oxymoron. [00:11:55] Speaker B: Step to manifest and we finally found out as adults. [00:12:00] Speaker A: But it was just so interesting. Like, now I can definitely look at it with different. With a different visual. And I can even understand why one of my parents would tell me that, because they think they're preparing me for real life when really that's where it gets so confusing. Because I feel that our parents have like, this ideal of like. Because this is my real life. This needs to be your real life. And that is not right because we are all here for a different purpose and we're all so different that there's no way that off of what one person thinks that they're aligned to or that's their. What they supposed to follow. That caters to everyone. That's just can't happen. That's not the way the world works. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's the way the people who want to control the work world tell you it works. So. And that. That leads to the next one, which is a sense of profound connection to something larger than oneself. Now I can kind of hear the mindset of some of the people in the audience because they're going, well, that would be like, God, isn't that church? Isn't that, you know. No, no. I mean, this is a direct connection. So no mediator, no imam, no rabbi, no priest. Direct connection to something bigger. And we feel that in our hearts too. And it goes back this spiritual symptom. All I can hear in my voice is it's yearning, it's longing. It's the. It's the longing to be free of this veil of separation and to feel the true connection to what created you. [00:13:42] Speaker A: Yes. [00:13:42] Speaker B: So that you're. It's not a me. And that it's a me. I am that. [00:13:51] Speaker A: Yep. [00:13:52] Speaker B: And that's hard to explain till you've experienced it so well. [00:13:56] Speaker A: That. And then also I think we get so taught of not having that connection. Like you need a mediator to accomplish that connection. When I mean, not to get all technical and stuff, but I. I always had a issue, I guess, with what I was being taught about what. What creator was, because of the fact God. Because I was already questioning, I'm like, well, how come if you're talking about a God that's ever loving and all these things, and at the other hand, it's like he punishes us and he does this, and it's like it didn't. It's like if you really focus, it's two complete separate entities. Like, one is the one that is like, oh, you're a sinner and everything. And it's like the other one is a loving thing. And when I did get my deepest connection with a higher source, when I finally connected with the. The thing that happened to me, where I feel like I felt the most connected is God said to me, if it's not love, and if it's not expansion on love, it's not really me. It's all created for a different purpose because we're here. I'm here for you. I'm part of you. I'm here to expand you in the connection so much deeper than anything that any human could build it to be. So it's just very interesting coming from that point. Like, just analyzing it now where I'm at. No wonder I question it so much. Because on one hand is like, I knew the true connection, the true healthy connection with something higher than ourselves, but yet it was trying to be put in such a limited way by altering like, oh, no, you have to stand within this box in order to have a connection, which I never did. [00:16:11] Speaker B: Yes. So I guess going back to the spiritual symptoms, what you're saying is you grew up Christian, so you're questioning why the Old Testament God is so nasty, wrathful and vengeful. [00:16:22] Speaker A: And it was Catholic, but I mean, it might as well be the same. [00:16:26] Speaker B: I got the same story from the Lutherans. And yes, it doesn't make sense. I always said the front of that book doesn't match the back of the book. So I couldn't reconcile that in my mind either. But. But the whole point being, whether you come from a Christian background or not, because it doesn't matter. I was an atheist for a while before I had a spiritual breakthrough. It is that profound connection that we're searching for. I like to call Creator. All that is to realize I am all that is. I am not separated by a window or a veil. [00:17:04] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:17:06] Speaker B: And then the final bullet point, we have here for spiritual symptoms for ascension symptoms is relationship upheavals or shifts in how you perceive and relate to the world. I think that's the main one for why we have spiritual shifts, right? Because we're changing and we're seeing the world so differently. We have an aha moment, or you could call it a tower moment. Tower moments. It don't have to be a hard fall. Sometimes it's an epiphany, exactly where you just. Your mind shifts and you go, oh, I'm seeing this thing so differently now. I'm looking at the world so differently because I have a whole new set of thoughts. So. And of course, relationships can't stay steady when you've had a big epiphany and a big shift. [00:17:52] Speaker A: And honestly, like, I always try to simplify the words, right? So it's interesting to me. Like, for example, if you go back to when you lived at home with your parents, and then you fast forward into who you are now and you say, how have I changed? You're gonna find so much change that has altered on the way you view the world. Because when you were younger and you were being taken care of, you didn't have as much responsibilities. There was just so many things that were done for you. Because, yeah, as. As a parent, you're a caretaker, and you're helping your kids to grow, to be able to stand on their own two feet, and then they leave the nest. So nonetheless, the way you perceive the world is going to so change so drastically, but yet the other thing that we. We have to be aware of is change is constant. So how you view things, it's always going to change depending on how. On what changes and what you experience in the world. So even at best, to have the best attitude moving forward is about accepting and embracing that change. Because there's things will never hold still. [00:19:18] Speaker B: Okay, so let's just read these back again. So the things that spur your spiritual shift, what they're calling spiritual symptoms, that are ascension symptoms, which would be a desire for deeper meaning or purpose, a feeling of being out of sync with the world, a sense of profound connection to something larger than oneself, and relationship upheavals or shifts in how you perceive and relate to the world. That's what spurs on all the rest of them, at least in my experience. And that's what we're trying to teach you guys here. We're not experts on this. We're just trying to tell you, based on our experiences and relatable stories about us, what we experience shifting and I experienced every one of those. [00:20:05] Speaker A: Oh, yes, me too. [00:20:06] Speaker B: Absolutely. So what happens once you realize you've got this, like I said, yearning, this yearning for something greater? There's got to be more. So once you start making these shifts, I guess it's what we just talked about here. There's going to be emotional shifts. Right. So what are some of the emotional symptoms that go with this spiritual yearning that we talked about? Those spiritual symptoms and what's first on. [00:20:38] Speaker A: Our list here we have anxiety, fear, or panic attacks. [00:20:43] Speaker B: I know so many people in the spiritual path who've had panic attacks. [00:20:46] Speaker A: Oh, yes. [00:20:47] Speaker B: It's because your, your identity has been ripped away. [00:20:50] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:20:51] Speaker B: You're somebody new. You've literally been reborn into a whole new paradigm. [00:20:57] Speaker A: Yes. And we, whenever that happens, we try to control things. So when we try to control and to try to, like, try to control something, that it can't be controlled as a result, that's where anxiety really comes in our panic attacks or fear. And for those of you that have had panic attacks, oh my goodness. It's like I used to get him a lot, funny enough, during the time in my life where I felt like I had the least control in my life. And that's why I wanted so bad to almost like have something to hold on to. And I couldn't because things were changing so drastically. And as a result, I would get panic attacks all the time. [00:21:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Because the old is what you, you're familiar with and it's no longer who you are. So who now who am I? Right. I'm not who I thought I was for 20, 30, 40 years. You know, when we talk about these symptoms, I do want to give a little shout out here that some of these symptoms can be related to ascension symptoms, but they also could be related to health situations. So if you have any concerns about any of the things we're talking about, see your doctor or your holistic specialist or whoever you like to go to. But it's not the only reason people have panic attacks. So just want to make that clear. It's. But it is one of the, one of the things people experience when they have a big spiritual shift. [00:22:24] Speaker A: And this is based off of our experiences because obviously we're not health professionals, so we can't give you health advice, but we can just share from our experiences what happened to us as part of our assumption emotional symptoms going through Ascension. [00:22:46] Speaker B: Okay. So we're also looking cross referencing this to some information that AI gave us about the most common ascension symptoms. So in addition to that, there's Irritability, mood swings, and emotional outbursts. Yeah. Especially when you're doing your shadow work because you're having to look at the ugly parts of yourself that maybe they're not that ugly, but you think they're ugly. [00:23:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:11] Speaker B: The things you're ashamed of, and you have to look at it with the forgiving eye, and that's definitely going to cause mood swings for sure. Possibly. Emotional outbursts, irritability. I don't think I experienced irritability a whole lot because I was lucky enough that a friend of mine had gone through, had shown me some of his ascension symptoms. So I was aware of them, which. But I would think if you didn't know what was going on, you didn't understand that this spiritual shift was going to create emotional and physical shifts, then that would probably exacerbate it and make you more irritable and more confused and cause more mood swings. Do you have anything to share about those? Did you feel those when you were shifting? [00:24:03] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Especially emotional outbursts. There's a lot. Like, especially. I think that when we first start going through our process, there's a lot of deeper wounds that we get to look at in part of those emotional symptoms, like the emotional outbursts. I can definitely relate to the mood swings. [00:24:26] Speaker B: I just had a thought because a lot of times we didn't learn the proper coping skills anyway. So now we have this big spiritual burst, and we don't know how to cope with it. [00:24:33] Speaker A: Exactly. Is it as it already is? A lot of the times we're taught to shove our feelings in and stiff upper lip. Yeah. [00:24:44] Speaker B: Or big girls don't cry. Heard that a lot. [00:24:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:48] Speaker B: Okay. So feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? I definitely experience both of those. [00:24:54] Speaker A: Yes. [00:24:55] Speaker B: There's a point where you do get physically overwhelmed and you need to rest because when you're pushing that much spiritual energy through your body, there is, like we said, a chemical change, and your body needs rest. So I was fortunate because I lived by myself when I had my spiritual awakening, so I could rest whenever I needed to. I know it'll be harder for people with family responsibilities, but if you're feeling tired, one of the best things you can do for yourself is just rest so that all this can shift chemically. [00:25:25] Speaker A: In your body and see that I had a big, hard. I had a really hard time with napping and resting because it's like. For me, well, growing up and stuff, it's like taking naps. You were all of a sudden seen as being lazy or just not being productive. And it's so interesting how then, I mean, now I obviously know better and I know that when you need to rest, you just rest period. But before it was almost like because of the programming, it's almost like you feel undeserving or like, or it's almost like it's something that you just don't do because you're always constantly expected to be working or doing something. So that moment when things start shifting can really alter you. So yeah, I guess the feeling overwhelmed and disconnected, it could have been cost to me because of the lack of resting. [00:26:26] Speaker B: Oh yeah, yeah. Because you were always go, go, go on to the next thing, onto the next thing, onto the next class, onto the next healer. [00:26:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:26:33] Speaker B: And taking that time out if you need it. And you know, I think what you're doing with the breath work classes that you offer is really one of the best aids for when you're feeling overwhelmed. So you do, you do learn some new coping skills along the way that will help you deal with these symptoms. So I would recommend if you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, to look for some techniques for breathing, meditating, or even just look up vagus nerve. You know, that's the nerve that controls a lot parts of our body, including our emotional system. And find ways to soothe the vagus nerve. Yeah. [00:27:16] Speaker A: There's even frequency music you can just listen to and like relax, close your eyes. That soothes out the vagus nerve on YouTube for free. [00:27:24] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And that's part of the healing. Learning new ways to deal with those floods of emotion. New emotions. That's it. New emotions are foreign. Which leads to the next one, right? Intense sadness, grief or loss. Well, guess who you're grieving? The person you thought you were. [00:27:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:45] Speaker B: Your identity is so caught up in that. And then all of a sudden you're like someone seeing the world in new eyes, but you still feel that disconnect. Like where's, where's the person I used to be? [00:27:58] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I, to me, it used to hit me so hard. Like literally the only thing I could even compare it to, the feelings of it, it's almost like, like, like someone really close to me had died. Literally. Well, I mean, it was myself, but I mean just, it was so deep and so such intense sadness and grieving and feeling lost. And what's interesting is during those times that, especially during the deep parts of me that felt lost, I think I came like twice to you, Lola, where you helped me out and was literally like full, full blown tears and everything. But I mean it's, it's a lot. It's. I mean, you are shedding who you no longer are, but the way. Because you have to understand that you've given it so much power over the years because you have never healed those parts of yourself. So your ego really comes in with, like, yeah, aggravating this part. Like the part of you grieving your old self. Because this. The. The ego doesn't want to change. [00:29:09] Speaker B: Ego thinks that being static is safety. [00:29:12] Speaker A: Yep. And so when you are shifting out, all of a sudden there's this intense sadness and grief that the ego will like, not help, in fact, in enhance that. So it's almost like about. On top of really balancing those emotions, you really have to come to terms with your ego. Meaning you have to just let it be aware that it's not in charge. And no matter where you're going, meaning shifting out of, they're always going to be there with you. Because ego does have a purpose, and that's to keep us safe. But it feels attacked when we're shifting and when we're changing, when we're healing ourselves, it really acts up. [00:29:52] Speaker B: Yeah, but grief has a purpose, too. [00:29:54] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:29:55] Speaker B: And when we're sensing this loss of who we used to be, it's very natural to go through the grieving process. And I know I cried a lot. A lot, a lot, a lot as I went through this journey, and I still do from time to time when I'm doing inner work. And I just want to let people know that to honor your grief, grief means you're giving up something that you love. If you didn't love something and it's gone, you don't care. Right. You're neutral. Who do you love? What did you love? You loved who you thought you were. [00:30:31] Speaker A: Oh, man. And you just brought up, like, such a great thing to talk about. So when you first start your healing and you go through these, like, symptoms and stuff, you see things so differently. I was the oldest out of four boys, so I was always the one that needed to be tough. And as a male, it was not seen well to cry. So I always held back my tears. And they always felt like tears were a sign of weakness, which was so crazy. It's the complete opposite. Like, when you can share your emotions and you can just let them out, that shows the true strength you have because you're able to release. Tears are a form of releasing. That's all they are of whatever. [00:31:14] Speaker B: There's actually chemicals in those tears that you're clearing out of your system, which. [00:31:18] Speaker A: I just want to Mention something that was just magical. So Lola holds a drum circle like every once a month. And we had a new person come in, which happens to be a guy. And he had got so overwhelmed by the energy that he started crying. And I freaking loved it. You know what it feels like to have a male that's confident enough to cry in front of a crowd? If that is not change, I don't know what is. And that, like, just filled every part of my, my cells because I'm like, we are changing. We are moving from this society that has told males you can't share your emotions. It's like, it was just. It was beautiful. That's like all I can. The way. Best way I can put it. [00:32:09] Speaker B: Yeah, it was really lovely to see him open up. No, he was in a safe place to do it. [00:32:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. So another emotional symptom when you are having a spiritual awakening is increased sensitivity to energy or people. Oh, boy, howdy, can we relate to that, can't we? [00:32:32] Speaker A: So let me ask, this is really interesting because how many of you go to places like a Walmart and feel completely overwhelmed with the energy? And you're like, I don't know what's going on. I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. Or get so overwhelmed with just the energy and the people there. That's all part of this because you become so much more sensitive to energy. [00:32:55] Speaker B: It's called subtle energy. [00:32:57] Speaker A: Yep. And so it's just, it's interesting. I don't go to those usually. I try to avoid, oh, I can't. [00:33:03] Speaker B: I can't do sports events, I can't do malls. I can't. I mean, I can, but I would have to just really spend a lot of time gearing up for it emotionally and mentally. The last time I went into South Center Mall, I was overwhelmed because I didn't know it had changed. And I walked in and there's in the aisle ways, there's all these neon flashing signs. Right. And I went, oh, my God. It's like I just walked into Tokyo. I go, I have to leave. I have to leave now. So you will be more sensitive to the vibes other people are giving off as well. Because you're more in tune with yourself. You can trust your fit, your feelers better. So you get more sensitive about, oh, I feel I can trust this person. I don't know. I feel a little hinky about this person. Yeah, I feel like, comfortable, like we're a good blend. And sometimes it's like, yeah, I'm just gonna leave you. You go talk to those other people. Okay. So, yeah, you get very, very, very sensitive to energy that you. You're probably. Your brain and your ego didn't allow you to think you were that sensitive. Are you probably picking it up the whole time, but your brain was telling you, oh, that's just nonsense or something? [00:34:17] Speaker A: You know, also, your walls are so up and you're so guarded that, like, sometimes you are blocking yourself from. [00:34:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Energy. Yeah. When you're. When. Yeah. So when you're always on the defensive. [00:34:31] Speaker A: Yep. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Then you're not opening up to, like, really? That person might be very nice, but you wouldn't pick up on it at all. [00:34:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:38] Speaker B: Yeah. But, yes, your sensitivity will be heightened, Heightened, heightened. And that will continue to grow and grow and grow throughout the whole process. So that's why it's good to be aware that it could affect you emotionally. So that you want to have new coping skills for dealing with this. Like we talked about. [00:34:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:55] Speaker B: Okay. So in additional to spiritual and emotional. Oh, we just talked about that. Thoughts. Mental. What are the mental states? Ascension symptoms? So first on the list given to us by our handy AI Is vivid dreams or nightmares. You know, okay. I've never been very good at remembering my dreams, but I can kind of feel the emotions when I wake up. I don't get nightmares, but I can see why a person might, because you're looking at your subconscious fears as part of the spiritual awakening process with the shadow work. So you're looking at the emotions and the old ways of thinking that didn't work and need to be cleared out. And some of those are based on a lot of fear. So you ultimately, in your dreams, end up working on that by facing those fears in your dream work. So I can see why some people would have nightmares. [00:35:58] Speaker A: And see, I'm the. I'm the complete opposite of Lola. I had reoccurring nightmares my entire life. In fact, I stopped. My nightmare stopped around the time that I turn into. Pretty much, like, around. I would say, like around 16, 17. But there was one reoccurring nightmare specifically that I absolutely could not stand. And I had it since I was really young. And I remember exactly like it was. I was all of a sudden this village in the middle of nowhere, out of nowhere. People would start screaming and start running, and that was my turn to run. And as soon as I started running, there was people getting killed all around me. And I remember seeing body parts being flinging at me, and I remember just having blood everywhere and just Keep running. And this nightmare occurred to me quite often for my whole life and everything until I finally learned how to face off to the shadow aspect of myself. Because I was running away from myself. I couldn't see the wounded, deep, wounded parts of myself. So I started creating certain characters in my dreams to relate to all the things that I couldn't handle when I was younger. But it took a long time and I honestly thought there was something wrong with me because I mean, let's be real, like who gets reoccurring nightmares, especially to that degree. [00:37:30] Speaker B: How did that change once you had your spiritual awakening? Because we're talking about ascension symptoms. Did they continue or did they magnify? [00:37:37] Speaker A: They magnified until I faced off my true shadow. When the moment I decided to stop and not run away. And these creature like was like a shadow aspect that stood in front of me and I did not back away and I told it to go. It's the time where things shifted for me. It was the time where those nightmares stop because now I was facing my true fears and I was no longer running away from them. [00:38:08] Speaker B: Yeah, a lot of the work we're doing is stuff that's in our subconscious when we're in our dream state. So when we're awake, we're not consciously aware of all the work we've been doing. And we encounter spirit guides on the astral plane when we're dreaming who come in to help us and teach us lessons they might take on a certain role. Like in a play, you might have a teacher show up to guide you. There's all kinds of things that happen on the astral plane that might be where the vivid dreams come in too. Because there's also different levels of the astral plane. So in some of the lower levels are where you're going to run into the fantasy creatures, some good, some bad. But that's where you're going to likely see like things like rainbow colored unicorns, for example. And then as you keep going higher up in the astral plane, you're going to be encountering different kinds of helpers and colors that probably are so vivid you they don't translate to our conscious awakening. [00:39:12] Speaker A: And also we have to understand that even these dreams, they all have an interpretation of them. Maybe you don't quite remember, you don't quite know, but you can search online like certain meanings. What I've learned to I have. I happen to feel lucky enough that to have friends that really good at dream interpretation. So sometimes I just write my dreams and I'll write to them. And I'll be like, hey, I had this dream. What. What are you getting from it? And then it totally resonates. But even when you're doing the work yourself, meaning you're writing your dream, and then you're finding, it's always good to use your discernment because there's different meanings to just one dream. And you have to look at it as, like, what really aligns with you? What does it feel like it's truly trying to tell you? [00:39:56] Speaker B: I guess that goes to something we haven't really stated out loud, but I think we inferred is that these dreams are lessons, and they're helping you to grow spiritually, emotionally, mentally. So if you can remember your dreams, great. If you can't, I got a little trick for you. If you use any form of. Well, I do with the tarot cards, sometimes I ask, what did I do on the astral plane last night? So if I don't. If I come back, I don't remember the dream. I can ask that in the cards, and I can see the lesson I learned at night. So just. Just a tip to you guys. Okay. So another mental ascension symptom would be difficulty concentrating or focusing. You know, when there's that much spiritual energy being released in your body, it's really hard to focus at work. [00:40:52] Speaker A: It is. I mean, sometimes it's even hard for us to focus on the podcast itself. We have to clear ourselves. We have to align our hearts. We do a whole bunch of things just to prep up for, especially during the days. There's, like, so much energy, so we can definitely relate to that. [00:41:09] Speaker B: Yeah. And I think because your body's being filled up with all this spiritual energy, it feels different. It feels like. I sometimes describe. It feels like you just got shaken up like a pop can. You're very effervescent inside, right? [00:41:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:24] Speaker B: So you'd be so distracted by what's going on with me that you're my body and all this, that you. You lose your focus and your concentration. And I think that's a pretty common one, don't you? [00:41:34] Speaker A: Yep. [00:41:36] Speaker B: Okay. Then another one would be intense intuition or psychic abilities. Yes. When you have a spiritual awakening, your psychic abilities get enhanced, and some of them wa up, right? [00:41:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:48] Speaker B: So they've always been there, but they haven't been. It's just like a piano. You haven't been practicing using them. [00:41:55] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:41:57] Speaker B: But all of a sudden, you might have greater clarity. You might hear something and go, oh, I think that came from a guide, not me. [00:42:03] Speaker A: You know, and one of the things that I do want to mention that when. When your intuition, your psychic abilities start kicking in, it's a time where it's almost like a muscle to put it in perspective. So the more you work with it, the more you clear things out, the clearer it'll come to you. So it's not a thing. Like, sometimes with certain people, when they have, like, life or death situations, sometimes their gifts all of a sudden come on fully on. But for most of us, that's. That doesn't happen. It's one of those things where we start getting our intuition and our psychic abilities. Like, we feel like, oh, like, it totally feels like, I know this, and it happens to be true. And then you start growing with it. It's. It's like a muscle that you're building. [00:42:50] Speaker B: That's a good way to describe it. Yeah. So, yes, you might awaken to some skills that were a little bit dormant within you, but they were always there. [00:42:58] Speaker A: Yep. [00:42:59] Speaker B: But they really become enhanced, and then you can refine them. [00:43:03] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:43:04] Speaker B: Okay, so intense intuition, psychic abilities. That's one of the things you can actually look forward to. All right. Sense of purpose or calling. Well, yeah. I mean, all of a sudden I was speaking and singing in light language, which I kind of figured out pretty quickly. I'm a sound healer. Right. Or you get it when we talked about that yearning before, that yearning for purpose. Now you feel a yearning towards something specific. You know, all of a sudden, you know, you have the spiritual awakening, and then mentally, your. Your mind is shifting to the possibilities, like, oh, I've always been interested in talking to people whose family members have passed on. You know, and so you might be starting to be attracted to being a medium. You know, they're. You're going. Things are going to start kind of falling in place logically, I think you start aligning to who you truly are. And then, like, for you, you found out you were. Your love of travel came because you're really supposed to be energetically healing certain parts of the globe. So that was a natural interest for you. But then you understood after your spiritual waking, oh, no, that's my calling. [00:44:22] Speaker A: Yep. It took a while, too. Sometimes, like, that's the other thing to be patient with yourself, because even though you're like, I don't know what this is, but this is making me feel so great, so aligned with my purpose, and you have no idea really what it is. And then later on, once it's explained to you or it really comes up in a way where you really understand it you're like, oh, so that's what it was. And then once you start doing it, it's like a whole nother level, because now you're doing it on purpose, which it's really aligning with your purpose, but it's also aligning with the things you didn't know about yourself. Really? What? A lot of times what I tell people is like your spiritual awakening is like unwrapping a gift that gives you all these tools and all this learning and all this wisdom of things that you never even thought that could be possible. [00:45:14] Speaker B: Yeah. And then another thing that I think we tend to forget is sometimes your highest purpose is just to be you. So you could continue to be the refrigerator repair man. [00:45:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:26] Speaker B: But you're shining your light so bright. You're affecting your customers and you're affecting your fellow employees. [00:45:32] Speaker A: I read that it doesn't mean you. [00:45:34] Speaker B: Have to become a healer or guru or. [00:45:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I read that something somewhere, and I can't remember where, but they said the biggest contribution you can bring to the planet and the biggest being a purpose, is working on yourself. Because as you work on yourself, you're healing yourself in your light and your frequency changes. And once it goes so high, what you're doing is you're actually being a light to others. So even those that you think you're like, for example, if you're that type of person that you start realizing that whenever you go to places, if there's people that, like, are arguing or whatever, they automatically find a solution, it's because they're rate. You're helping them raise their. Your. Their vibration. Also the people they still have not awakened, you help them to find their own light. You can't force anyone to start their process, but you can certainly influence with your own light and your own frequency, others to find themselves. [00:46:34] Speaker B: Yeah. So your purpose or calling may be. I'm the best person. I love collecting insects. It's my joy. Okay. That could be your purpose. You bring so much light because you're so excited about your hobby or your professional pursuit of entomology that you're shifting the planet vibrationally. So it doesn't mean you have to become purpose. And calling does not mean it has to be something traditionally spiritual. [00:47:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:06] Speaker B: You don't have to become a teacher or a mentor or a healer. You can just be the best you possible. If that's your calling, you're raising the energy of the planet anyway. So I hope that helps people. I think they put a lot of pressure on themselves to think they have to be very, you know, it has to be along this particular route for me to be filling my purpose. It's just what you enjoy. Okay. [00:47:38] Speaker A: And then the last one for that one is questioning about the meaning of life or reality, which we kind of went over a little bit. [00:47:47] Speaker B: That's pretty much the whole journey. [00:47:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:51] Speaker B: So we're going to quickly shift gears because we wanted to prepare you that so you understand that usually when people talk about Ascension symptoms, they're talking about physical symptoms. But we wanted to show you beforehand. It starts with a spiritual shift. It affects your mental thinking, and it affects your emotions. So what are the most common physical ascension symptoms? Okay, number one, we kind of talked about fatigue, lethargy, or extreme tiredness. Now, lethargy is when you're just kind of like nothing seems exciting. Right. So when you're feeling that way. Yes. Once again, these physical symptoms could be due to other things. So if you have any concerns, talk to a health professional. But in general, that's pretty common, and that's why it's really. You're shifting so much energy, your body needs to rest. So we talked about that earlier. Another one is dizziness, lightheadedness, or vertigo. Did you ever have any of that. [00:48:56] Speaker A: Lightheadedness? Yes, when the energy is, like, way too much, where I know that I need to rest. But dizziness, not so much in. Not vertigo. But I know people in my circle that have had vertigo, and I've had the. The unfortunate thing of experiencing vertigo one time, and it's not fun. [00:49:19] Speaker B: Well, if you have vertigo, I would definitely check with your doctor about that. That's something I'd be concerned about. But dizziness or lightheadedness, I think it's because you're raising your energy so much that that's why we need to stay grounded, too. [00:49:31] Speaker A: Oh, yes. [00:49:32] Speaker B: Because if all the energy is going to your crown chakra and your third eye, you really need to even it out by getting out in nature, walking barefoot or whatever. You can even eating something to get you grounded, get back in the body. One of the things that is not on this list, that's kind of related to this and the next one is the ringing in the ears. [00:49:54] Speaker A: Oh, yes. [00:49:55] Speaker B: Because when this is probably the most common. Actually, I'm surprised the AI missed that. Because when you shift your frequency, frequency is vibration. Vibration is sound. So sometimes sound is inaudible and sometimes it is audible. So one of the most common things is going to be your ears ringing. Kind of like you can feel it on the inside of your ears. Probably a high pitched tone. That's your frequency shifting. That could be why people feel dizzy or lightheaded. [00:50:22] Speaker A: Yep. [00:50:23] Speaker B: And it also could be why it's the next one. Some people get headaches or migraines. [00:50:27] Speaker A: Yep. Definitely has had. Have had headaches before. Not migraines, but headaches. [00:50:32] Speaker B: I think that's from the third eye opening. [00:50:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:35] Speaker B: Sometimes that causes pressure. [00:50:38] Speaker A: That. And then when it's open too far. [00:50:41] Speaker B: Oh, yes. I taught you that trick, didn't I? [00:50:43] Speaker A: Because, like, I couldn't tell first. And it is literally like a switch. If you imagine it turning it like few knobs down. So that way it's not so intense. [00:50:52] Speaker B: If you think, if you feel like your third eye feels like it's too open, like you're starting to feel pressure up in your. Think of it as an aperture on a camera and you can turn that aperture down a little bit so that not as much lights coming through. That's just. You can do that mentally to help out. Okay. Body aches, pains, or joint stiffness. Once again, that could be related to things in addition to ascension symptoms. So I would, you know, check with a doctor if you have concerns about that. I didn't have those. [00:51:24] Speaker A: I did. And let me explain to you about those that are really crazy. So for the longest time I thought, oh, people like, like talk about this and talk about these ascension symptoms, and I don't have any of those. But what I didn't realize is that we all are going through different processes. And as we clear more, we become more susceptible, receptive. So our bodies trap the energy sometimes and let you know. Like, for example, when I was going through my deep clearing of stop caring others. Like literally stop trying to do the work for others, stop trying to rescue others, I would get the biggest. I would wake up with like, lower back pains. So bad. [00:52:06] Speaker B: Really? [00:52:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Because you're carrying others, literally, it's the physical thing. And one of my friends that she's really intuitive, she'll be like, you just like you're going through the shedding of carrying others. But it's like you really have to release it because it's a frequency that gets trapped and it caused so much pain. And I kid you guys not, after I just finally went to the deepness of how do I finally take care of this? The back pain went away. [00:52:33] Speaker B: That's interesting because when I do energy healing, I can feel people's blocks, but I don't feel that pain pain. But I can understand what you're saying now based on what I've Experienced when I feel the energetic block. [00:52:44] Speaker A: Yep. [00:52:44] Speaker B: Ah, gotcha. [00:52:46] Speaker A: Also another thing that it's kind of connected to it, but not really. So around our, like especially around our neck area when we go to sleep, sometimes we get, when we get attacked, those. That's a vulnerable spot. So sometimes we wake up with our neck really like hurting. And it's just because on the astral plane we're doing a lot of things and sometimes part of that is like we literally get attacked. So it's just like you're. That's where you can get energetically hit. So keep that in mind because that did. Has happened to me quite a few times. [00:53:20] Speaker B: So what do you do? Protect. Imagine a protection around your neck. And I forgot sometimes when I've released energy, it feels like a shard of glass getting stuck. I'm just so used to it. You breathe through it and eventually it moves. But I forgot about that pain. Okay. And then nausea or digestive issues? Not, not on my watch. I didn't have that. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Did you digest the digestive issues? Yes. I think it's because as we raise our frequencies too. And I think you relate to this too, where you want different foods. Yeah. You want different foods. So even if like, oh, if you. [00:53:59] Speaker B: Eat something you used to eat, then. Yeah, that would be a digestive issue. [00:54:02] Speaker A: Yeah. So that would be a digestive issue. Because. Because you have to keep in mind that what you once upon a time ate, it's almost like your vibration was lower. So if there's like a very low vibrational food, meaning that it has really no nutrients for you, they're gonna take a toll differently once you start really healing because you're no longer. You're gonna be more sensitive to things. So that also includes your food. So in other words, you can't just go on a fried food rampage and think that your stomach is going to take it well. [00:54:33] Speaker B: No, I see what you're saying. Oh, if you hear some noise, it's my computer kind of overheating. That'll stop soon. Yes. And then alcohol too. A lot of times we stop drinking. [00:54:44] Speaker A: Alcohol or like I, I'm. I'm gonna just blur it out because once upon a time I used to do it too. And I'm not like, like I would always like like my thing to relax. It wasn't so much alcohol, but it would be like smoking pot. And I finally had to let it go because it would give me the worst headaches that I just could not. And I've never had these headaches and all of a Sudden I started completely aligning. It was. Every time. And I'm like, all right, there it goes. [00:55:11] Speaker B: So you'll figure it out for yourself. [00:55:12] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:55:13] Speaker B: As far as. Okay, this is no longer a good fit for me chemically after this shift. Okay. And then the final one on our list is skin rashes or sensitivities. I didn't really experience that, but I think that can go with the emotions like we talked about earlier. So I could see how that could help happen for some people. [00:55:34] Speaker A: Well, one of the things that's really fascinating that I just heard, and I'll just go really brief on it because we're kind of don't have a lot of time, is your traumas. As you heal them, they get. Some of them get stored in your. Is it fascia? [00:55:49] Speaker B: Yes. [00:55:50] Speaker A: And that is like your skin. So sometimes to fully let energy out, meaning when you're healing it and you're processing through it, it gets stuck in your skin. And that can really develop things. What I've been doing lately is any type. Anytime something comes up, like, meaning like I have something specifically, I just search it out. Like, what does this mean spiritually? And usually it's tied to something that. Not that again. We want to use our discernment. But a lot of the times, absolutely everything like that's involved with our skin, that's involved with certain areas of our body, they're acting up. They do have a meaning to them. [00:56:28] Speaker B: Well, even in the purely physical, like when somebody shifts to a new skincare product. [00:56:34] Speaker A: Yes. [00:56:34] Speaker B: They always warn you it's going to be. You're going to have a flare up before it clears up. So you're going to get probably pimples at first because it's clearing out the impurities. [00:56:44] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:56:45] Speaker B: And then it all gets better. So you can use the analogy into the metaphysical world as well. So you're getting rid of these old emotions and they're showing up on your skin with a breakout. Maybe. But it's going to clear up because the emotions are clearing. Okay, I'm getting that. All right. So we talked about some of the most common Ascension symptoms. There's more. You can do a Google search and find out what Ascension symptoms are, what the most common ones are. Oh, yes. We're gonna probably have to do a whole episode on this. But I got the Kundalini jolts. [00:57:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:25] Speaker B: So when Kundalini is a spiritual energy that gets released when you have a spiritual breakthrough. It's a chemical thing that's been dormant in your body. It gets released. It's a big burst of energy. And because it's a big burst of energy, the body goes, what's going on? And you might. It's not really shaking, but it's like jerk jerking jolts. Totally normal. So if you look at ascension symptoms online. Kundalini awakening. Kundalini is a Hindu word. K u n D a L I n I find out what kriyas are. K r I y a They're related. Those are the symptoms. One of the most common kriyas is the jolting. Learn what these symptoms are. If so, you know what they are before you experience them. And that way you'll be prepared for whatever aligns with you to help you shift forward. Okay, well, best wishes on your spiritual awakening mentally, emotionally and physically. [00:58:26] Speaker A: Yep. Thank you for tuning in. Don't forget to share with a friend. [00:58:31] Speaker B: And we will see you again in one week. [00:58:34] Speaker A: Yep. [00:58:35] Speaker B: Bye.
