The Light and Dark Sides of a Spiritual Awakening

You're not broken. You're breaking through.

A spiritual awakening, while often associated with positive growth and enlightenment, it also comes with a darker side which most don’t like to mention. This darker side is a necessary part of the process, to deny the shadow aspects and only focus on the light will never lead you to wholeness.

The light side reveals your truth, your gifts, your divine connection. You start to feel more deeply, see more clearly, and align more authentically. Synchronicities spark around you as signposts from the universe. You speak your truth without apology. You remember who you are.

But the dark side?

It asks you to sit with discomfort. It strips away illusions, relationships, and false identities you once clung to for safety. It brings up wounds you thought you'd healed. You may feel lost, disconnected, and confused.

But you’re not broken. This isn’t destruction—it’s initiation. What’s falling apart is everything that was never aligned with your true essence.

Through this unfolding, you’re being rewired for truth, for purpose, for presence. And every tear shed, every fear faced, every truth spoken...That’s you breaking through.

So if you're in the dark right now, know this:

It too will pass. Keep going. Your light is not gone. It’s just deepening.
