What Happens Post Awakening?

The Turtle and the Water

A sea turtle was mistaken for a land turtle and placed in a terrarium with sand and a heat lamp. The turtle wasn’t feeling well and had a longing for something it couldn’t quite identify. One day, when it was out of the terrarium and wandering around the house, it noticed the front door was open. It strolled out into the garden for the first time and found a large puddle of water. It was like a religious experience for the little turtle to submerge itself in the water; finally, it felt at home. But after that experience, nothing was the same. Once it had tasted the water, it was all it could think about and long for.

Just like the turtle that tasted water, we humans are profoundly affected by a direct experience of our innermost being. Post awakening it can then become difficult to wholeheartedly return to the filters, identifications, masks, strategies, and armors we had previously.

You might also notice that your “navigation system” changes. From being guided by your desires and fears, your calculations, hypotheses, belief systems, and opinions, your main compass becomes your intuition. Instead of acting on autopilot, you act consciously from a neutral, still place.

The transition phase can last for a short period or many years, and it can be anything from mildly confusing to completely life-changing. However, there are also a few individuals, like Eckhart Tolle, who wake up suddenly. His entire experience of the world/himself changed totally in an instant. Everyone’s journey is unique and should not be compared to anyone else’s experience, but once you wake up from the dream, it doesn’t matter what caused you to wake up.

What Happens When You Become Still and Aware?

Imagine stirring a large barrel of water with a giant ladle. In the barrel, there are various things and substances you’ve forgotten you put there and others you don’t even know how they got there. You look down into the barrel and see only murky water swirling around. When you stop stirring the water, it calms down and starts to clear up. But just when you thought it was calm and clear, things start popping up to the surface, one by one or several at once.

This is exactly how it works when we pause, stay in the present moment, and dare to feel our emotions (without commenting on them, fleeing, identifying with them, or acting on them). We can start to feel stillness and see more clearly, but suddenly an old suppressed trauma from childhood can surface.

Don’t stop there and think the practice isn’t working.

If you continue to stay present and not flee, you might start to see how the trauma has been the basis for many of your destructive behaviors, thought patterns, and feelings in life, without you being aware of it. When you objectively dare to look at the trauma and feel the emotions connected to it, you can start to heal and become truly free.

The grief you never processed because you kept yourself super busy with work to avoid feeling the sorrow and longing suddenly surfaces.

The pain and anger over your failed marriage, which you suppressed to not show your children how badly you felt, might come up again. The shame over a financial crisis, the pain of being abandoned, the regret of causing suffering…everything we’ve swept under the rug can come up…or nothing at all.

When you dare to feel what is, it’s like pulling up weeds by the root instead of just trimming the leaves. It’s more strenuous and painful, but far more effective and the only thing that seems to work in the long run to become free and healed. For some, it’s a tough and slow process, with much digging and pulling to get the root out. For others, it’s a super quick process of just plop, with some pain, pulling up the weed by the root. But then there are those who wake up almost instantly and deeply understand who they really are. When they realize they are not their thoughts, feelings, memories, traumas, sensations, desires, fears, or personality, but the still awareness that is aware of the thoughts, feelings, and sensations, the weed simply becomes irrelevant. Everyone has their unique journey here on Earth, and it serves no purpose to compare your unique journey with anyone else’s.

“The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.”

How to Observe Your Thoughts

Imagine you are on a bridge over a large train station; you are early for a meeting and spend the wait watching all the trains coming and going. Whether the trains are on time or not doesn’t concern you in the least, nor how many passengers they have, the names of the conductors, or the construction year of the trains. You don’t care about where the different trains have been or where they are coming from, how many toilets they have, or what color the seats are. You simply look down at the trains and perhaps calmly notice their movements, how the light falls, the sounds they make when they brake, and the pattern all the tracks create.

How to Be Free From Negative Thoughts

Try observing your thoughts in the same objective, relaxed way you watch clouds in the sky or trains passing through a station. The multi-Oscar-winning film “A Beautiful Mind” from 2001, directed by Ron Howard and based on the book of the same name by author Sylvia Nasar, is about the famous mathematician John Nash’s life, played in the film by Russell Crowe. It’s a true story about a mathematical genius who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. He was completely consumed by his inner visions, suffered terribly, and his mental illness caused great suffering for the people he loved most.

His recovery did not consist of him stopping seeing people who weren’t there but in no longer giving them his attention and energy, focusing on reality instead.

At first, you might easily get distracted and consumed by your thoughts when you try to observe them, but as you practice, it will become easier. Over time, you can start choosing which thoughts to direct your attention to and which to ignore. It’s useful to remember your dentist appointment, but you can learn not to focus on and waste energy on judgmental, critical, belittling, hateful, and fear-based what-if thoughts.

Empaths Avoid This Spiritual Advice, It Can Kill You! - Here Is a New Set of Guidelines for You<br />
Traditional spiritual teachings can often be harmful and lead to self-destruction for empaths, codependent individuals, and highly sensitive people if not balanced. Learn to prioritize your well-being, listen to your intuition, set boundaries, surround yourself with loving support, and heal past traumas. Embrace your authentic self and show your light and power, speaking up and sharing your story. This video provides a refreshing and empowering perspective on personal growth and fulfilment, important life hacks, spiritual advice and self-development rules for empaths, introverts, highly sensitive persons ( HSP) and co-dependants to be free and strong, confident, peaceful and happy. Normal, so-called spiritual advice from the world's main religions and new-age is often bad for us, even lethal.  These “commandments” or guidelines are much better to live by for empaths, codependent and highly sensitive persons (HSP).

In the realm of spiritual traditions and modern teachings, paths laid out for liberation and grace often seem ill-suited for empaths, codependents, and highly sensitive individuals. What’s prescribed as a journey toward selflessness and generosity can, paradoxically, become a restrictive experience for those naturally inclined to prioritize the well-being of others over their own.

The Spiritual Conundrum for Empaths

The Disconnect Between Spiritual Teachings and Empath Needs

While the advice to be more selfless and generous is beneficial for many, empaths often find themselves overwhelmed by such directives, exacerbating their struggles with maintaining personal boundaries and self-care.

Religious and New Age Challenges

Religious edicts to turn the other cheek and New Age imperatives to manifest one’s reality can be particularly perilous for empaths in harmful situations, potentially leading to further victimization and emotional distress.

Bad Advice for Toxic Relationships

For those entangled in abusive dynamics, adhering to spiritual guidance advocating passivity and forgiveness without critical discernment can be damaging, even life-threatening.

The Peril of New Age Philosophies for Empaths

New Age ideologies that emphasize personal responsibility for one’s circumstances can unintentionally victim-blame and undermine the experiences of those facing manipulation or abuse by narcissistic individuals. If you live in a violent relationship… listening to this could kill you. It could also prevent you from reporting a rape and asking for help.

Common advice that is dangerous for Empaths

Spiritual Advice That Can Kill

Religion preach:

    • To turn the other cheek
    • Not to stand up for myself
    • That silence is a virtue
    • To love and be kind to people who are mean to me and hurt me
    • To always be humble, generous, and take care of others’ needs before my own.

    New age teachings tell us:

      • “I am responsible for my own life”
      • “I create my own reality”
      • “I have attracted this person/this situation”
      • “It’s up to me to change my thoughts and feelings, so I can change my life for the better”
      • “If I just focus on the positive things and remain optimistic, he/she will be nice, calm down, and treat me with respect.”
      • “If I talk about negative things, I will just attract more negative people/situations”
      • “I probably have some karma left from a previous life that I need to work on”
      • “The people who treat me the worst are my best
      • teachers”
      • “I just need to let go and accept what is”
      • “Other people’s behavior towards me is just a mirror of something within me”

      Common Social Advice:

        • “Don’t stand out”
        • “Don’t think you are special”
        • “Stay out of this”
        • “Speaking is silver, but silence is golden”
        • “Love always starts with a fight”
        • “Don’t make a scene”
        • “Don’t challenge fate”
        • “You get what you deserve”
        • “You reap what you sow”

      Emotional Trauma Healing: 1st Step for Holistic Well-being

      The Horrible Suffering Created By Societal Conditioning.

      You were born pure beingness, innocence, light and love. But then, people around you – your parents, family members, friends, neighbors, the school, news, films and advertising– they all told you what you are like; that you were good or bad, naughty, pretty, kind, or difficult, smart or stupid. You were taught about the world; that it is unsafe and unjust, or full of opportunities.

      You started to identify with external things like your nationality, your gender, your familys socio economic status, race, your abilities, and your disabilities, religion and looks.

      And with time, slowly, your inner light got dimmer, and you started to forget who you really were deep down because you kept hearing about what you like; from work, from friends and family, from media, television, advertising, and you believed all these things you heard.

      Trauma’s Role in Shaping Us.

      Not being seen, not having your needs met as a child, trying your authenticity for safety, care and acceptance from your primarily caregivers or worse, abuse and neglect, distorts your view of reality and harden and thicken these layers and you forget about your true nature. 

      You develop coping mechanisms to not feel the pain, strategies to be seen and loved, protective mechanisms to stay safe.

      The layers are getting thicker and thicker, you are less present, you you either deem of the better future or fear what might happen, you wish for the good old times or are stuck with traumatic flashbacks. You desperately try to attract certain things people and situations and try to push away other things people and situations. You can hardly remember what it was like being authentic, free, curious, present and open.

      Do You Recognize These Signs?

      99% of the time, they stem from unhealed trauma.

      Every journey begins with understanding where you stand. Reflect on these common symptoms of unhealed emotional trauma, and see if they resonate with your experience:

      Physical

       

      • Sleep Issues: Insomnia or restless sleep.
      • Chronic Pain: Frequent headaches, back pain, or muscular tension.
      • Fatigue: Persistent tiredness or lack of energy.
      • Cardiovascular Symptoms: Rapid heartbeat, chest pains, or high blood pressure.
      • Digestive Problems: Upset stomach, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhoea.

      Emotional

       

      • Anxiety and Nervousness: Persistent feelings of unease.
      • Difficulty Relaxing: Struggling to unwind or enjoy leisure activities.
      • Feeling Overwhelmed: A sense of being constantly burdened.
      • Low Self-Esteem: Feelings of worthlessness or inadequacy.
      • Mood Swings: Sudden emotional changes or heightened sensitivity.

      Behavioural

       

      • Procrastination: Delaying decisions or actions.
      • Avoidance: Shying away from responsibilities.
      • Restlessness: Difficulty sitting still, concentrating, or staying focused.
      • Emotional Outbursts: Snapping at people or having a short temper.
      • Altered Eating Patterns: Eating too much or too little.

      Empath

       

      • Overwhelm in Crowds: Feeling drained in busy environments.
      • Heightened Sensitivity: Intense reactions to emotional or sensory stimuli.
      • Difficulty Setting Boundaries: Struggling to say no or maintain personal space.
      • Absorbing Others’ Emotions: Feeling others’ emotions as if they were your own.
      • Compassion Fatigue: Feeling emotionally depleted from caring for others.

      Relationship

       

      • Loneliness: Feeling isolated, even in the company of others.
      • Difficulty Being Respected: Feeling undervalued or constantly undermined.
      • Fear of Abandonment: Anxious about being left alone or rejected.
      • Staying Busy to Avoid Pain: Constantly working or engaging in activities to not face emotional distress.
      • Anxious Attachment Style: Insecurity in relationships, needing constant reassurance.

      Coping 

       

      • Excessive Alcohol Use: Relying on substances like wine to cope.
      • Overworking: Immersing in work to avoid facing personal issues.
      • Numbing and Detachment: Feeling emotionally disconnected or indifferent.
      • Avoidance of Solitude: Discomfort with being alone or in quiet settings.
      • Engaging in Risky Behaviors: Seeking thrill or danger as a distraction.

      Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obesity, suicide attempts, OCD, addiction and hypochondria, are all to common now days. Almost always they share the same root cause; unhealed emotional trauma. Ignoring these signs can lead to a deepening cycle of pain and dysfunction. It’s not just about the bad days. It’s about the cumulative effect on your life, relationships, and sense of self.

      The Process of Forgetting Who You Are.

      Then what happens is that, just like really good, passionate actors, actresses, sometimes get so submerged in the role that they are playing, that they temporarily forget who they are. 

      Or when you dream at night, your whole reality is that dream, you are not aware of the person that lies there sleeping dreaming the dream. You get caught up in the dream, just like in the film the Matrix. 

      This is what almost all adults look like today, probably you as well. The layers of conditioning, programming, and emotional trauma have become so thick that you dont see your light. You look at the hard surface and think this is you and have completely forgotten about your divine essence. Its like an iceberg thinking its only the small part over the surface or a drop of water or a wave feeling isolated, limited and separate, not ealizing that they are part of the whole ocean.

      3 Ways to Wake up?

      ^
      You had enough of long term suffering.

      When you are anxious, dissatisfied, and unfulfilled enough to start looking for meaning, answers and connection.

      ^
      You are privileged but still miss something.

      When you got what you wanted and did what you thought you should do to be happy but still feel empty, depressed and disconnected. Like something is missing or wrong, but you can’t put your finger on what it is.

      ^
      You hit rock bottom.

      Or when you experience severe trauma, hit rock bottom and meet the dark night of the soul, you have an existential crisis.

      A catalyst for awakening

      Trauma, A Horrible, Beautiful, Blessing in Disguise. 

      Because what happens when we experience something really traumatic? It hurts like crazy, but where does it hurt?

      It hurts all those hard layers that we have identified with, our ego, our false idea of self. But if it gets traumatic enough, it creates these tears in the surface, excruciatingly painful, of course, but if the cracks go deep, you can start to see your inner light shining through the cracks. And you start to realize, hey wait a minute, I’m not all these old programmings and all these filters and this idea of who I am. I’m something much more, and you start to discover your light again. Id like to say that trauma is like a blessing in disguise. Painful, horrible, but it also starts to shed off all these layers of false identifications, of assumptions, programming, and you rediscover your light. And under the surface, it’s always been there; peace, love and freedom. It hasn’t gone anywhere.

      Ami Elsius meditating at sunset on a mountain in Ibiza. Symbolizing the importance of emotional trauma healing in self-discovery and  holistic well-being.

      Acute Suffering Creates a Necessary Urgency for Emotional Trauma Healing.

      For a lot of people, that’s the start of their spiritual and healing journey. Its like you need to feel bad enough to really be motivated to wanting to heal, be free and happy. If you were held under water, all you can think about is getting to the surface so that you can breath again. Thats your only focus, a matter of life or death. For many individuals, its not until they have a similar ”live or die” feeling that they are ready to commit to their awakening, healing and transformation.

      Self-Realization or Just a Beautiful Glimpse?

      Some individuals get a strong glimpse, a wow experience of oneness and pure unconditional love. And thats often exactly what it is, just a quick glimpse or a period. If you then work on healing your emotional traumas, effectively, safely and holistically, with the right tools, exercises, guidance and support over time, that light, your authentic self will become your reality and guiding star.

      A word of warning

      The Dangers of Spiritual Awakening Without Emotional Trauma Healing

      After an initial awakening, if you dont follow a holistic emotional trauma healing path, you can fall in to many traps. Its treacherous territory, murky waters with dangers lurking around every bend. Its easy to develop a spiritual ego, go back a sleep, to the old habits, or even get more destructive, depressed or anxious than before. Thats because you got a taste of the light and now your shadow side and suffering seems even more unbearable, because you now have something to compare with, and you have an even stronger resistance to the present than before, you just want to get back to the bliss and love. 

      Spiritual awakening and emotional trauma healing go hand in hand. One can be the catalyst for the other but both are needed to be truly happy, peaceful and free.

      The 3-Steps of Trauma Recovery.

      ^
      Awakening: Recognizing and Embracing the Need for Change.

      Awakening is often the first step in a profound journey of self-discovery and healing. It’s about realizing that there’s more to life than your current reality. Maybe you’ve been successful in your career, yet you feel an emptiness that material success hasn’t filled. Or perhaps, despite your spiritual inclinations, you find yourself grappling with stress, anxiety, or the scars of past relationships and childhood trauma. Awakening is recognizing these struggles and yearning for a deeper connection and understanding. Awakening is also waking up from the illusion of a separate limited self, becoming consciously aware of your essence. Awakening also entails removing the veil infront of your eyes and seeing the world, yourself and other in a new light, untinted by old programing and limiting beliefs. 

      ^
      Healing: Deep, Holistic Recovery.

      Once awakened to the realities of your struggles, the journey of healing begins. Healing is not just a linear process of fixing what’s broken; it’s a holistic journey that encompasses your entire being. You might be seeking to heal from emotional traumas, looking to manage stress and anxiety better, or aiming to reconcile with your past.

      ^
      Transformation: Realizing Your Full Potential.

      Transformation is where the magic of real change happens. It’s about taking the insights gained from your awakening and the strength rebuilt from your healing to create a life that truly reflects your authentic self. This is where you redefine your identity, discover your purpose, and start living with a newfound sense of freedom and joy.

      This phase is not just about personal fulfillment; it’s also about stepping into your role as a creator, inspiring others, and contributing positively to the collective. 

      The journey through Awakening, Healing, and Transformation is interconnected and cyclical. Each phase feeds into the next, creating a continuous loop of growth, healing and self-discovery.
