The Dark Night of the Soul: the hardest part of a spiritual awakening

Welcome back little blues! I am going to be very open and honest about a part of the spiritual awakening everybody goes through, but nobody likes to go through - which means that it doesn't get talked about as often as the benefits of being self-actualized.

Like everything else, there are major pros and cons to a spiritual awakening. This is one of the phases considered a con. The Dark Night of the Soul has a lot of benefits, but there are a lot of physical side effects not mentioned when it comes to this particular phase. Some of the symptoms you may experience during a spiritual awakening can include; fatigue, vivid dreams or lucid dreaming, irritability, sinus problems, headaches, and/or anxiety.

Many of them occur due to your body needing to physically detox traumas, and absorb higher vibrational energies. As you grow in your practices, so does your vibrational field in your energy. People like psychics and reiki masters resonate on higher vibrations and frequencies. If you're in the middle of a spiritual awakening, expect lower vibrational people to avoid or leave you. When you energetically outgrow people, Universe interferes and removes them from your life.


The Dark Night of the Soul is an event referred to in the Wiccan teachings as a difficult time. As some background knowledge goes for the teachings themselves, Wicca is a religion embracing the witchy things like energies, crystal healing, spirit guides, fairies/deities, spells, auras, etc. Think of it as an older lifestyle and religion behind the practices of witchcraft, though the same thing can be said for Paganism. It's important to note that any religion or race can study or expand their knowledge in witchcraft. Anyone can practice.


In Wicca the more you develop a relationship with the Universe and the Energy of what you believe your higher power to be, the more that you will be able to manifest and change in your physical life.


A huge step to being able to manifest what you want quickly is that you have to let go of any and all expectations you have about receiving. The belief behind this step is that before the Universe gives you anything that you want, it will strip you of it completely to show you how much it will affect you and challenge you to be happy without it. Forcing you to see how you handle your lack mindset. So, before you have complete trust in something, you must first have nothing.

A spiritual awakening is not always love and light. It is loving yourself so much that you are willing to let go of anything and everything that doesn't reciprocate that love. Overnight, you could find that your entire living situation is inhabitable. The people that used to be your rocks are no longer trustworthy, or the food you used to eat disgusts you because it's not what your body wants. This is one of the biggest changes you go through in spiritual awakenings and nobody talks about it.


When it happens you are going to think that you're alone. That nothing can seem to go right because success isn't written for you. Remind yourself that you are not your thoughts, nor are you the environment you surround yourself by. Anything can be changed overnight, it all starts with your mindset. By putting in the intentions and efforts to be enlightened, you make it easier to become enlightened.

If you find yourself at a crossroads, ask for a tarot reading or buy yourself a pendulum. Often times the most important decisions lie in the cards, it never hurts to get in contact with your spirit guides. This is one of the biggest reasons people get Tarot readings from me.


The Dark Night of the Soul is the moment that you are forced to check yourself. By looking within and healing yourself, you are triggering a transformative period in your life. The changes you find entering your life won't be easy. You will find out that people you once thought were trustworthy and reliable no longer elevate you to be better, and you will get very lonely. Use this time to become your best friend. You'll learn that during this particular phase, you are your own best friend. Accept all sides of yourself, and you'll flourish.
