Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening

[Guest guest]

21. A perception that time is accelerating. It seems that way because

you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an

unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing.

 

Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time segments

increases the sense of acceleration .You can slow time down by

relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what's at

hand, not anticipating what is ahead. Slow down and tell yourself

that you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power to help you. Keep

your focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next.

Stay tuned to your inner guidance... You can also warp time by asking

for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, " Time warp, please. I need

some more time to -----. " Then relax.

 

22. A sense of impendingness. There is a feeling that something is

about to happen. This can create anxiety.

 

Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely

happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your

thoughts -- positive or negative-- are prayers. There is nothing to

fear.

 

23. Impatience. You know better, but sometimes you can't help it. You

want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is

not comfortable.

 

Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing that nothing

comes to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a lack of

trust, especially trust in your Higher Power. When you focus on the

present, you will experience miracles -- yes, even in traffic.

 

24. A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and

revelation. Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time

in your life. " Constant craving " , as k.d. lang says. The material

world cannot fulfill this longing.

 

Advice: Follow your heart and the way will open up for you.

 

25. A feeling that you are somehow different. A disquieting sense

that everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have

left your old self behind. You have. You are much greater than you

can possibly imagine. There is more to come.
