Do you know what a spiritual emergency is?
A Spiritual Emergency is a natural process of human growth and transformation, characterized by a heightened awareness, sensitivity, and deep connection with others and the world around you. It can also begin with a difficult life event, such as a near-death experience, the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or illness.
Individuals going through a spiritual emergency often report feeling as if they are in a different state from how they usually perceive reality. Their routine, beliefs, values, and identity often seem to collapse or fall apart. Daily tasks become difficult, and the person may struggle to find motivation to accomplish them. It is also possible that someone going through this experience feels extraordinarily positive and full of energy.
A Spiritual Emergency is often characterized by extremes. The person accesses mental states and feels things outside of their regular patterns or what they consider normal in daily life. This can be disturbing, especially because the process passes through different stages, often including experiences beyond what society considers “consensual reality.”
It’s common to feel anxious, afraid, and desperate, while, at other moments, it’s possible to have indescribable feelings of love and unity with the Cosmos. These experiences can become part of the individual’s daily reality, perhaps lasting for days, weeks, or months, with varying intensity.
It’s essential to be gentle with yourself during this period and allow any emotions to surface and be expressed in a safe environment. Having the support of someone who has been through similar experiences and a professional who can listen without judgment is truly helpful.
You are not alone! What you are going through is a normal part of a healing process. Don’t give up – there is light at the end of the tunnel, even when you feel like you’re in complete darkness.
