Have you even wondered what it would be like to experience an awakening? In this article, I will hope to help you understand the different stages that you may go through along your journey. One must keep in mind that these stages are not in the “mandatory” alignment for your experience. They are only as a reference to what you “might” go through in stages and a glimpse of what you might be feeling throughout that process.
The “Wake Up” Stage
This is the stage where you are who you might be today, and in one moment you wake as if you just turned on the lights to your new experience. There are actually two common ways for the switch to come on. The wake up commonly can happen within turmoil or very spontaneously.
The wake up in turmoil can be when an ugly divorce occurs or when you lose your job suddenly, or when the rug is pulled out from under you in a personal life situation. Basically, at a time in life when you are suffering.
The wake up spontaneously is just that. It happens without any trigger or suffering; it just happens. It is as if you were sleeping and then something woke you but in such a manner of peacefulness.
The “Blissful” Stage
This is the stage when you come to life. See things in a more blissful manner. Feeling new connections to things around you like people, animals, source and nature. Experiencing more joy and happy emotions. Having a sense of being guided by something bigger than yourself. Receiving messages from angels that resonate with you on a spiritual level. Begin recognizing synchronicities. A new found connection to your intuitive or discovering spiritual gifts you didn’t know you had.
The “Darkness” Stage
This is the stage when your soul brings up all the things that need to be healed. These issues may not always be from this lifetime but from past lives too. This could be a time when you heal Karma or rid the dark energies of your soul. During this purge of things which no longer serve you could be depression, dispair, anxiety, loss, and there are so many others. What is really happening is that your old self is dying and you are preparing your new self for the rebirth. You must get rid of what keeps holding you back from being the truth of you. During this time, your biology is changing, and energetically you are changing too. This is the most difficult of all the stages. Your have to face your demons and rid them once and for all.
The “Obiss” Stage
This is the place where you can now rest and recharge yourself. You will feel as though life has just stopped. You are like you are between lifes, not the old nor the new. This is a safe place where you withdraw and rest your energy system from all the work you did in the dark night stage. You could feel like the universe has closed the door on you or your lost with no where to go or possibly a feeling of complete disconnetion to everything. But this is not what is happening. This is the place to rest, heal, pray, and allowing yourself the time to be soothed and balanced. Once you accomplish this healing, you will feel a deep peace that consumes you.
The “Grounding” Stage

During this stage things start to stabilize and you receive a sense of calm. If you use the analogy of a tree with roots. This is when the tree grows and its roots are receiving energy from the earth. You feel like this tree in the sense that you will feel your growth and maturity spiritually. During this stage you begin to bring what you have learned into your life so that you may share your gifts with others. You begin to return to normal life. Your energy system becomes more powerful and you find manifesting easier as you are magnetic. You understanding of others and why they do the things they do by the choices they make. You allow others their own path and choices with an open heart rather than in a judging one.
The “Purpose and Life Mission” Stage
Once you have completed all the stages needed to heal yourself, you will remain in this stage basically for the remainder of your life. Here you know that everything has changed. You feel more at peace and grounded, tolerant of others and what they may be going through, and more of a connection to the collective. You start to live your life’s mission and walk with purpose. You may not know the entire purpose, but remember who you are and commit to your path. Stay rooted in your path and you will be given gifts to share with the world.
Conclusion
I am grateful for Christina Lopes, for offering this information to the collective, when I was not aware of what was happening to me. Through all the pain surrounding me; she helped me to understand. After a nasty divorce, loss of my father and my brother one year apart suddenly, then my job; and all within a 5-year period. I didn’t know which way was up. I am one whom woke in turmoil but now feel a great peace without question. You too can wake in your way and come out on the other side. Follow your intuition, your angels and giudes will help if you only ask. Go within to find you and what you are meant to be.
Footnote: I do not fully know my purpose or mission in life yet; but I am open to receiving this knowledge and doing so for the greater good. I am with open heart and soul in order to fulfill my life contract here. I wish you much love and lilght in finding yours.
Love and Light

Thanks for your sharing here. I am not sure if I am at the “Darkness” Stage at present. I really want to have a new change in my life. I have been in a state of unhappiness for a period of time. I want to live in a new environment, a new job, a new social circle. A new change will help me go to a new direction and feel energised.
I was in a blissful stage before. I have a lot of deep connections with friends, and families. When I lost my job, I had a lot of deep conversation with my friends. Sharing my own problems make me feel better and they helped me understand myself better. They have inspired me a lot.
Thank you Fiona for your comment and thoughts. Remember not to look to others to know you better. Look within. Sit with yourself for 10 minutes a day if possible and don’t think of anything. Ask your higher self to help you achieve these things you want to have happen. I wish you much healing. Love and light to you during this stage of your path. Things will get better. Create it!
Hello, Very lovely poem. Now I know that If we use the analogy of a tree with roots. This is when the tree grows and its roots are receiving energy from the earth. We feel like this tree in the sense that we will feel our growth and maturity spiritually. We may not know the entire purpose, but remember who we are and commit to our path. Very pleasant words
Thank you for your comment. Didn’t know it sounded like a poem? but nice that you thought the words were pleasant. I am in the hope that you are feeling like the tree and growing each day along your path as well.
