My Spiritual Awakening: From Religion to Rebirth

Do you ever feel like something inside you is missing—even when everything around you seems complete?

Have you ever walked out of church feeling emptier than when you walked in?

Do you catch yourself craving peace, stillness, and truth that no sermon, no rulebook, and no loud prayer seems to offer?

If your soul has been asking these questions—welcome. You’re not lost. You’re on your way home.

This is my story of spiritual awakening. It’s raw. It’s real. And it may be the mirror you didn’t know you needed.

A Soul Crying Out

Two years ago, I sat in church on a Sunday morning with tears in my eyes—and not the kind people clap for. I was tired. Deeply tired. Not of God, but of religion. Not of faith, but of performance. Every part of me was worn thin from trying to fit into a system that felt too tight for my soul.

I was tired of pretending. Tired of shouting hallelujah while silently battling confusion. Tired of hearing the same teachings, the same calls for repentance, without any space for healing, trauma, or inner truth. I loved God, but I no longer recognized myself. And more dangerously—I couldn’t feel Him anymore.

My soul was starving. Not for more scriptures. Not for more fasting. But for presence. For peace. For truth. For a connection to the divine that wasn’t filtered through rules or guilt or pressure.

And then, almost by accident, everything began to change.

The Unexpected Doorway: Discovering the Power of the Mind

One night, on YouTube, I stumbled upon a video by Marisa Peer. I didn’t know her name at the time. But she was talking about the mind—how our thoughts shape our reality, how beliefs formed in childhood rule our adult lives, how we can rewire our inner world.

Something clicked.

I wasn’t just listening with my ears—I was feeling with my entire body. Every word felt like a revelation. I wasn’t broken. I wasn’t backslidden. I was asleep.

That night, I didn’t just watch a video—I woke up.

It was the beginning of my spiritual awakening. And it wasn’t loud. It didn’t come with thunder or falling down at the altar. It came with stillness. With breath. With the terrifying and liberating realization that I had been living outside of myself.

What Is a Spiritual Awakening?

A spiritual awakening is not about becoming more religious. It’s about becoming more real. It’s when you realize you are not your trauma. Not your title. Not your family name. Not even your beliefs.

It is when your soul taps you on the shoulder and whispers, “There’s more.”

I started journaling. Breathing. Listening to my thoughts. Feeling my emotions. For the first time in my adult life, I sat with me. And in the silence, I met God again—not the God of fear and punishment, but the God of presence, energy, wholeness, and love.

The Homecoming

This awakening wasn’t a one-day miracle. It was a process. Layers peeled off. Old beliefs died. I wept. I laughed. I forgave. I released. I grieved the version of me who thought she had to earn love through performance.

I stopped being obsessed with doing and started being.

Three years down the line, I’m not perfect—but I’m present.

I no longer chase. I attract.

I no longer force. I flow.

I no longer beg for validation. I stand in my knowing.

This isn’t a dream. This is my life—unfolding in alignment with who I truly am. And this freedom? It didn’t come from outside. It rose from within.

What Spiritual Teachers Say About Awakening

Let me share a few truths from spiritual voices that deeply shaped me:

1. Eckhart Tolle

"Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not."

When I read this, I cried. It gave me permission to shed what no longer felt true—guilt, shame, religion-as-performance.

2. Marianne Williamson

"We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present."

I realized healing isn’t just personal—it’s collective. As I healed, I started loving differently.

3. Michael Bernard Beckwith

"Pain pushes until vision pulls."

This described me perfectly. I didn’t change because I was brave—I changed because the pain of staying the same became unbearable.

My Mantra

“I return to myself. I remember my wholeness. I walk in truth.”

Every morning, I whisper this to myself. It’s not magic. It’s alignment. It reminds me that I don’t need to become something new—I just need to return to who I’ve always been.

5 Affirmations That Anchor Me

1. I am safe to trust my inner voice.

2. My life is unfolding in divine timing.

3. I attract peace, because I live in peace.

4. I am enough, just as I am.

5. Everything I need is already within me.

Say them aloud. Write them down. Let them reshape the way you see yourself.

How You Can Begin Your Own Awakening

You don’t need to leave your church. You don’t need to follow anyone’s path. You just need to become honest with yourself.

Here’s how to start:

1. Create Silence Daily.

Just five minutes a day to sit, breathe, and listen. No phone. No music. Just you. This is how your soul starts to speak again.

2. Question Everything.

Ask yourself: Is this belief really mine? Who gave it to me? Do I still need it? This is not rebellion. It’s spiritual maturity.

3. Journal Without Filters.

Write whatever comes up. Don’t edit. Let your soul speak through the pen.

4. Learn the Language of Your Body.

Your body holds wisdom. That tightness in your chest? That lump in your throat? That tiredness in your bones? It’s not random. It’s communication. Listen.

5. Find What Makes You Come Alive.

It could be music, poetry, dance, nature, silence, swimming, painting. Follow it. That’s where spirit lives.

You don’t have to suffer to find your soul. You don’t have to burn your past to claim your future. You just have to be willing to meet yourself again—this time, with love.

There is a version of you waiting on the other side of your fear. She is powerful. Peaceful. Magnetic. Whole. I’ve met her. And once you meet yours, you’ll never go back.

You Are Not Alone

The awakening journey can feel lonely—but it isn’t. There are many of us walking this path quietly, in love, in truth, and in power. You are not lost. You are being called. And when you follow that call, the life waiting for you is richer than anything you’ve known.

This is not the end of faith.

This is the beginning of freedom.

And you, dear soul, are exactly where you need to be.

Yours soulfully
