Listening To Your Body
with Shelly and Candice
EPISODE 4
HEALERS WITH HUMOR PODCAST
Welcome back, bright lights, to the Healers With Humor blog! Our latest podcast episode dives into a deeply personal and transformative topic—spiritual awakening. In this episode, Candice and Shelly share their journeys of spiritual awakening, discussing the signs, challenges, and profound growth that come with this life-altering experience.
Signs of Spiritual Awakening
A spiritual awakening often begins with a sense of restlessness or a feeling that there is more to life than what meets the eye. Candice recounts her initial signs, such as a renewed thirst for knowledge and an unexplained sense of discontent with her everyday routine. Shelly describes a similar experience of questioning and seeking deeper meaning in life. Both highlight that a spiritual awakening is marked by a hunger for information and a desire to explore new dimensions of existence.
Differentiating Spiritual Awakening from Healing Journey
While the terms are often used interchangeably, Candice and Shelly emphasize that spiritual awakening and healing journeys are intertwined yet distinct. A spiritual awakening is an awakening of the soul and its purpose, while a healing journey involves delving into past traumas, shadow work, and inner child healing. Both processes often run parallel, influencing and supporting each other.
Navigating Personal Growth and Relationships
Managing a spiritual awakening while maintaining personal and professional relationships can be challenging. Candice shares her experience of balancing a demanding corporate job and a long-term marriage while undergoing profound personal transformation. Shelly reflects on how her spiritual awakening coincided with the end of her marriage, leading her to a path of self-discovery and deep healing. Both emphasize the importance of communication, trust, and setting boundaries during this transformative time.
Embracing Vulnerability and Authenticity:
One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of dropping the mask and embracing vulnerability. Both Candice and Shelly discuss how their journeys have led them to live more authentically, shedding societal expectations and embracing their true selves. This shift not only enriches their personal lives but also strengthens their connections with others who share similar paths.
The Role of Community
Building a supportive community is crucial during a spiritual awakening. Candice and Shelly talk about the importance of surrounding themselves with like-minded individuals who understand and support their journeys. Whether through classes, online groups, or local gatherings, finding a community that resonates with your experiences can provide invaluable support and encouragement.
Practical Tips for Navigating a Spiritual Awakening
Pay Attention to Signs: Follow your interests and curiosities—they are often clues guiding you on your path.
Create Quiet Time: Regularly set aside time for meditation, journaling, or simply sitting in silence to connect with your inner self.
Embrace Vulnerability: Allow yourself to feel and express your emotions authentically. This is a vital part of the healing process.
Seek Support: Build a community of supportive and like-minded individuals. Don’t hesitate to ask for help when needed.
Explore Modalities: Experiment with different spiritual tools and practices, such as crystals, tarot, and astrology, to see what resonates with you.
A spiritual awakening is a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. As Candice and Shelly remind us, it is important to approach this journey with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to embrace change. By paying attention to the signs, creating quiet time, and seeking support, you can navigate this path with greater ease and understanding.
