Sharing our own transformational experiences of awakening helps guide the journey of our lives and those of others. I have gathered 5 inspiring, thought-provoking, and important questions in my journey. These questions are in the form of What, Why, Who, Where, and When of spiritual awakening.
I’ll be sharing my wisdom by awakening you to: What is Spiritual awakening? Why does our soul awaken? Who are you when you awaken? When does spiritual awakening happen? Where is the awakening happening?

Spiritual Awakening Question #1 – WHAT: What is Spiritual awakening?
Spiritual awakening is a process whereby our soul starts to awaken. It searches for a deeper meaning to life and its purpose.
It is a transformation that tends to take place internally and changes you inside and out. One example is of a caterpillar that transforms and grows into a butterfly. In other words, it is a complete change over from an old version of you to a newer version of you.
During the process, it is a feeling that puts your old you in a state of unrest as if something is missing, and in turn, makes you feel that life on earth is meaningless. I felt as if someone else, not me, was trapped in this body and wanted to be liberated. As we slowly awaken internally, we realize our soul’s true calling and purpose.

Spiritual Awakening Question #2- WHY: Why does our soul awaken?
Why does anyone want to wake up? We have set aside some tasks at a spiritual level that we want to complete. This is similar to your to-do list in your life on autopilot. You may have a to-do list of items to complete that now needs to manifest at a physical level.
What is your to-do list? This is where a question of what is my purpose of reincarnation as a human in this life? I tend to ask: Why am I here at this time of the century on this planet?
The answer is mostly related to a higher purpose and being of service to others. Doing this service in actuality helps raise your own vibrations and the vibrations of the planet.

Spiritual Awakening Question #3- WHO: Who are you when you awaken?
The question of who am I starts to emerge in your mind? I know I am a human being during autopilot mode. But you begin to realize that you are more to being a human.
In essence, there is some mental disagreement and dissatisfaction in knowing that we are human. Perhaps you may find out by following the signs from the universe (in the form of objects, books, internet searches, or even other beings) that you are an alien in a human form to help save humanity.
In fact, the point is you start to search for yourself restlessly. This is a time to reflect on yourself. That leads to loving yourself more. In turn, realizing yourself. Your true self.
You are actually a spiritual light being wearing a human suit going through life lessons courageously. It is a realization and a belief that gets stronger over time. You eventually awaken to who you really are inside.

Spiritual Awakening Question #4- WHEN: When does spiritual awakening happen?
The question of when spiritual awakening happens is very critical and worth knowing. When you reach your lowest point in life, it is then that your spiritual awakening is set to trigger as per the divine design.
The lowest points are your greatest teachers. The lowest points in life may include any or all of the following happening simultaneously: total career dissatisfaction, the serious life-threatening illness of your loved one and or even yourself, the death of a family member or relative, failing in exams/tests/certifications, passed on for promotions, toxic work relationships or toxic family relationships.
It is also possible that you may get hints from the universe that your reincarnation cycle is nearing its end. It is not feasible to calculate this until your last breath. But you will see some difference in the form of lost friendships, family members, relatives, or other types of relationships simply moving away from you.
What’s worse is, you may not know you are going through an awakening until you have reached the tail end of it. This is a gradual process that takes years to realize that you are actually going through one.

Spiritual Awakening Question #5- WHERE: Where is the awakening happening?
Just like you wake up from a dream and the dream is nowhere outside, all the awakening symptoms are invisible and going on inside of you. Several symptoms include: feeling lost, anxiety, depression, fear of the unknown even during the times when things are just fine.
You start to feel different inside. Your vision becomes more clear as you tend to use your soul’s eye or the third eye. The truth and knowledge of this world start to open. You start to see life lessons more clearly inside. You stop judging people; start to locate your true feelings inside, and begin to surrender and let go.
You also see yourself as the divine and see divinity in all things. You wake up to what is real and live in the moment. You get a glimpse of your dharma, duty and your life purpose inside that starts to reflect in your attitude outside.

Conclusion
We learned about the What, Why, Who, Where, and When of spiritual awakening. Spiritual awakening is an internal soul transformation that changes you inside and out. It is a gradual process that takes years to realize that you are actually going through one. You are actually a spiritual light being wearing a human suit going through life lessons courageously.
You get a glimpse of your dharma, duty and your life purpose inside that starts to reflect in your attitude outside. You realize that you have a higher purpose – being of service to others. Doing this service in actuality helps raise your own vibrations and the vibrations of the planet.
