5 Mental Health Struggles During Your Spiritual Awakening
From exhausting channeling periods and timeline splits to financial issues and unpredictability due to constantly shifting your identity, your spiritual awakening is a true test of your faith.
Can you stay rooted in your trust in God, the Divine and your Higher Self? Good, your soul purpose depends on it!
The Mental Health Awareness Month of May is now officially over, but we must stay aware of the ongoing changes and challenges that those who spiritually awaken may experience throughout their ascension journey.
Here are 5 mental health struggles to keep in mind when you’re going through your spiritual awakening!
1. EXHAUSTION DUE TO CHANNELING
There’s a creative process and a spiritual process of channeling.
All creative people who bring new ideas to Earth experience the creative process of channeling — a process known as accessing the creative flow.
Writers channel books, artists channel paintings, singers channel songs, even actors channel the embodiment of different roles!
The more a person is dedicated to their craft and being of service to Earth, the more they will simultaneously experience the creative process and the spiritual process of channeling.
But the process of creative channeling is not quite the same as the process of spiritual channeling, which can often be extremely energetically or emotionally exhausting.
So the first mental health struggle you might experience during your spiritual awakening is the process of channeling, which can be compared to the birthing process, or, you know, pregnancy.
In the process of spiritually channeling, you may be channeling:
a book that you’re here to leave behind as part of your mission
a business that will set the foundation for your legacy
an album that is destined to align you with your soul tribe
a project that will turn into a humanitarian quest
a series of paintings that will create portals to the Divine and offer healing energy for humanity
Source-led wisdom that is filtered through your own Higher Self
Whatever’s encoded in your spiritual channeling, it will simultaneously transform your life and the life of those that engage with it.
Not every person who experiences their spiritual awakening will become a channeler, but those who are called to channel spiritually-charged ideas will feel the energetic weight of the calling in the process.
This is why it’s important to look after your wellbeing in the seasons of your life that require of you to surrender to the channeling flow, especially when they are tied to your spiritual mission on Earth.
2. ISOLATION DUE TO QUANTUM JUMPING
You might ask…
“When does a timeline split?”
Here are two examples to help you understand that you have more power over your own life than you think you do.
(1) When you say “I am done”
“I am done with this friendship”
“I am done with this connection”
“I am done with this job”
“I am done with this city”
(2) When you say “I am ready”
“I am ready for my spiritual calling”
“I am ready to launch my business”
“I am ready to write my book”
“I am ready for a new challenge”
Once you declare to your Higher Self that you are ready to set a boundary (“I am done”) or that you feel called to leave your comfort zone (“I am ready”), you initiate the protocol for quantum jumping, which inevitably creates a timeline split.
This means that some people who are not ready to set the same boundary or travel the same distance out of their comfort zone as you will have to remain where they are while you continue your Soul’s expansion in a new setting with new connections.
So the second mental health struggle you might experience during your spiritual awakening is the process of quantum jumping, which can feel like a great profound isolation that allows you to finally hear the voice of your own Higher Self.
You can imagine how many other scenarios can create quantum jumps and timeline splits!
Remember that your seasons of isolation are not a form of punishment, but protection and re-direction that move you closer to your innermost self.
If you’re here to dedicate your life to self-growth and being of service to humanity, you will experience many quantum jumps and timeline splits that separate you from loved ones who are on a different journey.
You are not doing anything wrong when you choose to pursue your Soul’s evolutionary path, but make no mistake — not everyone is ready to make the same choice(s), so you will have to accept outgrowing people as part of your self-actualisation journey.
3. HAVING LITTLE TO NO SUPPORT
Once you start your spiritual awakening and begin to increase your discernment, it’s only a matter of time before you detach from many people in your network.
This allows you to quantum jump into higher timelines, but as you already know, it also creates multiple timeline splits that position you at a distance from loved ones, peers and everyone else really until you align with your soul tribe.
When you find yourself unable to ask for help and access resources (that may be otherwise available to those who are willing to abandon themselves by participating in agreements that are not in true alignment to their Soul’s expression and soul purpose), it can be rather soul-crushing to realise that you’re entirely on your own.
Paradoxically, the closer you get to your own Soul, the more overwhelming the connections (or lack there of) with others will become due to their inability to support or even see you for who you truly are and what you’re here to accomplish.
The third mental health struggle you might experience during your spiritual awakening is the inability to receive help from peers and access resources (that are otherwise available to those who comply with the spoken or unspoken rules of socially hierarchical systems that do not care about one’s Soul), which can be quite a challenge to overcome at first.
There’s always some support and resources available, of course, as long as you’re open to seek for them outside of your immediate circle that consists of friends and family members.
What’s more, you can always turn to Spirit, the Divine, God and your own Higher Self to help guide you to the help you’re seeking!
It’s important to remember that everything you need is already here on Earth, but it may be positioned in a different location or activated through a connection with someone you’re yet to meet.
If you find yourself having little to no support and resources, this means that you are finally trusting your inner guidance and moving in alignment with God, breaking free from the fear of the unknown.
The more your peers reject you, the further you are on your path to self-actualisation and alignment to your higher calling on Earth! The more resistance you’re facing, the higher your quantum jump and the bigger your impact as a cycle breaker.

4. FEELING EVERYTHING: GOOD, BAD, UGLY!
Your spiritual awakening will open your chakra system and enhance your intuitive abilities, whether they manifest as psychic gifts or simply allow you to “read” other people’s emotions and energy.
The more your discernment strengthens, the more you will be able to tell when a person likes you (romantically or platonically) or hates you (out of jealousy or because you’re triggering their shadow self).
Once you view the real intentions of friends, family members, neighbours and colleagues… well, let’s just say that you won’t be in a rush to spend that much time surrounded by people anymore!
Intuitive knowledge will assist you in understanding yourself and others as well as finding belonging in true alignment with your calling.
When you become familiar with how others actually perceive you and feel about you, even if they are ultimately doing so from an unconscious place, you will set the needed boundaries to protect your mental health and do what is necessary to maintain your authentic self-expression, so that you can keep working on your Soul’s mission.
The fourth mental health struggle you might experience during your spiritual awakening is being blasted with so much information regarding the emotional and energetic state of others that you don’t know how to handle all of it at first! Equally, you may get blasted by negative energy from systems that do not want you to ascend further (watch the video to learn more 🎬).
While feeling so much after your spiritual awakening can be overwhelming at times, it will also allow you to finally complete the healing of any past life wounds that are still blocking your truest self-expression.
Feeling your emotions will also allow you to complete the healing of any trauma that you collected during your childhood years in this lifetime, which is essential for the re-activation of your chakra system and the integration of your Higher Self.
Keep in mind that going through the “emotional purge” of rewiring your belief system, in order to reclaim your authentic self and release any false data that is corrupting your consciousness, is a lengthy and heavy process that may take months to years to complete. Give yourself grace, patience and compassion as you’re reviewing your life chapters and taking leaps of faith in the direction of aligning with your soul purpose!
5. FOREVER CHANGING AND EVOLVING
One of the aspects of the spiritual awakening journey that many people underestimate is the constant identity changes that may leave you temporarily, or even permanently, confused and feeling lost in life.
If you’re here to dedicate your life to self-mastery, you are going to become very familiar with quantum jumping and waking up in different timelines. In order to protect your sanity and maintain your motivation as well as your connection to the Divine, you will need to learn how to ground in the present moment and your self-awareness.
There’s an element of unpredictability that defines the ascension journey and any attempts to control your path or outcomes are futile.
Once you begin spiritually awaken, you are essentially saying to your own Higher Self — “I trust you, now lead me.”
You are not taking steps in the darkness alone. You are holding the hand of your Higher Self every step of the way!
But since your Higher Self is an energetic concept, not a material one, it’s not with your eyes or ears that you will connect, but with your heart and your intuitive gifts that surpass your logic.
The fifth and final mental health struggle you might experience during your spiritual awakening is the ever-ongoing transformation that will define your life after you embark on the ascension journey!
While the connection with your Higher Self strengthens, your relationships with peers may worsen or fade into the background, especially during the active phases of integration, activation and embodiment.
Allow the changes to happen as they are naturally unfolding!
Do not stand in the way of your self-actualisation journey. Let the Divine show you who you truly are at the level of your Soul, so that you can share all that’s inside of you with the rest of the world, too.
FINAL WORDS
Going through a spiritual awakening is not an easy process for the nervous system, which may create turbulence at the level of your mental health.
Since we are social creatures, whenever our relationships with others are affected, our overall wellbeing tend to suffer, too.
By definition one’s spiritual awakening is designed for them, so do not be surprised if your relationships get affected during the seasons of your life that God is trying to bring you closer to your higher calling and the Divine realm, so that you can receive greater understanding about what it means to be human and what you’ve personally come to Earth to accomplish!
While your friends and family might not be going through their own spiritual awakening alongside you, they will experience changes based on how much you dedicate your life to the process of self-betterment and self-actualisation.
When one person changes for the better, the whole world feels it! Be the kind of positive change maker that creates a positive ripple effect globally and trust in your ability to positively affect your environment, wherever you may be at this moment.
