When you think about a spiritual awakening you don’t tend to relate it to being in your pjs, with laundry in one hand and a child asking for a snack in the other. But here we are.
In truth, I’ve had many spiritual awakenings, that’s right not just one flash, wham-bam-thank-you-mama moment. It’s been a long, beautiful, messy, and powerful journey. A balance of integration. I tend to have a few weeks or months of intense energetic shifts, where my thoughts, views, plans all change, followed by a season of integrating, grounding, and returning to family life.
That’s my rhythm. It’s not random. honestly I thought I was loosing the plot many of times. I have worn hundreds of hats, thought I was always easily bored but it’s aligned with my Human Design, and this year in particular, it’s been amplified by my numerology life path 1. I’m here to blaze my own trail. I’ve also just entered my personal year Number 7 — the spiritual seeker, the deep diver, the truth hunter. Number 7 is about inner knowing, introspection, and awakening. No wonder 2025, this 7/7/7 year, cracked me wide open.
A spiritual awakening isn’t about floating off into the Cosmos its about realising you’ve been living on autopilot and suddenly thinking “wait this shit isn’t serving me anymore”
My 42nd year around the sun began with a bang. Maybe it was dancing barefoot in a field with my friends, maybe it was meeting soul people I didn’t know but deeply recognised. Maybe it was the consistent kundalini kriya practice I’d finally committed to (No its not a 2 hour practice its 10 mins a day whenever I can grab it). Or maybe it was just divine timing. The synchronicities, the messages, the lessons, the conversations, the opportunities — they all arrived in perfect rhythm.
I admit, there were immense moments of overwhelm too. The Akashic records opened wide. Past life stories flooded in. Soul memories surfaced. I was faced with repeating karmic cycles and big choices. I cried, I wrote, I laughed, I got lost in the spiritual journey. There was also deep gratitude. Love beyond boundaries and limits. I felt cracked open and held all at once. A spiritual tap on the shoulder that is telling you to stop playing small and actually start listening again.
The biggest shift? During the WTF is happening to me season where your being upgraded from the inside out like a soul level software update with bugs and glitches but way more power. There was a rest from the old imposter syndrome. I had a reality check-in. I stopped needing to prove myself, searching, achieving. Awakening is really just that — waking up. Waking up to your essence, your soul, your truth. Waking up to what’s been buried under the noise and expectations.
On July 7th, 2025 — the 7/7/7 portal something cracked open in me again. Not a light show. Not a beam of Sirius striking my third eye (although that would’ve been more instagram worthy). Just a quiet, sudden, undeniable knowing. A re-alignment that didn’t feel like fireworks, but more like someone softly rearranging the furniture in my soul. Clarity
Let’s rewind.
“This ain’t my first Rodeo” as Thelma famously says trying to act confidently during their escape. But in fact this wasn’t my first awakening. Years ago, the veil lifted, and I started seeing life through a wider, wilder lens. But this was different. This was a remembering. Something clicked in place. Something I’d already begun now had its ignition switch turned. Remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
For me, awakenings come in waves. A massive download, a pull inward, and then time to integrate usually with my family, in nature, off my phone, back in the body. My life, my motherhood, my soul work, they all dance together. Not always in sync, but always in motion. That’s why moving my body is my medicine on the stage, in a field, on a mat, in my kitchen.
And on that 7/7/7 portal, something new stirred. I remembered a version of me I hadn’t met yet. I dropped a layer. I let go of trying to keep up with everyone else’s version of being “spiritual.” And in that moment, I felt the truth. The ache. The deep yes.
Realising that the red flags, the mirrors weren’t just in your relationships they were in your habits, beliefs and choices. Growth triggering Absofrickenlutely!!
Many beautiful souls have come into my path some I’ve reconnected with others I’ve never met. I also have been introduced to Heka activation — an ancient Egyptian form of kundalini activation, There was a reason I felt stillness in the Pyramids. It’s the power of the word, of vibration, of sacred life force everything aligning these loose ends coming together. It’s different from awakening — which is about remembering. Activation is when the energy rises, the light turns on, the circuit completes. (I’ll talk more about this difference in another post because you know i have to live it first before I can share it.)
So if you’re going through your own shift right now, whether it’s wild and magical or slow and messy, know this:
You’re not behind. You’re not too much. You’re not imagining it. You are becoming.
Or maybe, you’re activating.
Big love and always Empowering energy
