Energy can be intense, don't panic!  

You may have heard the terms ascension, the shift, or even 3D to 5D.

 

What does it all mean and why is it affecting you?

​

The collective consciousness is going through a major transformation. People are experiencing physical, mental and emotional symptoms as their bodies release old patterns and stored trauma.  Ascension is the raising in our vibration frequency and the reconnection to our muli-dimensional Selves.

 

Those who are not aware of why this is happening, believe they might be getting ill or having a mental psychosis. Often these individuals seek medical assistance, only to find they are healthy and there is nothing physically wrong.

 

If you are experiencing symptoms (and there is no medical reason you should be), you might just be going through an upgrade to your perception of reality.

​

Don't panic, energy can be intense, but with some guidance, you can make it through. Don't worry, we're in this together.

​

Here are 36 Ascension Symptoms (in no particular order) to keep in mind:

​

1. Feeling as though you have been placed in a pressure cooker or are steeping in intense energy.

You may feel this as stress, or pressure in the body, like gravity is thicker.

You are adjusting to a higher vibration and you will eventually adjust. Old patterns, behaviours and beliefs are often being pushed to the surface at this time. Pay attention to the quality of your thoughts.  

​

​2. A feeling of disorientation; not knowing where you are; a loss of a sense of place, or even time.

You are not in the old 3D vibration any longer, you are moving or have moved into another frequency, like tuning a radio dial to another station, reality is transmutable.

​

​3. Unusual aches and pains throughout different parts of your body.

You are purifying and releasing old blocked energy that has kept your cells vibrating at a particular frequency. This old, stagnant energy is leaving your cells. It’s important to allow your body to find movement to assimilate these higher vibrations. If you do not, energy can become stuck and cause painful muscles and joints. Epsom salt baths can also help shift these energies through the body.

​

4. Fluttering, crackling, popping sensations, tingling or heat in the areas of your body or major chakras that arrive spontaneously.

As you open and clear parts of your energy system, your chakras clear and expand.  Your thymus gland is your gland of spiritual awakening. It’s shaped like a butterfly and sits over the sternum in the middle of your chest. You can tap it with your two middle fingers to ground yourself as it flutters. When you’re growing in spiritual awareness it can often be mistaken for feeling like your heart is palpitating or skipping a beat. This feeling comes and goes, particularly when your heart and ‘high heart‘(the energy centre of the thymus) are expanding. Other energy centers will release stagnant energy and it can feel like static. Be gentle with yourself, drink plenty of water and eat light, fresh foods.

​

5. Sinuses running/increased sneezing.

As your third eye (the awakening pineal/pituitary gland in concert with the heart - the inner pyramid of truth) comes online, you could find that your sinuses run and/or you could experience sneezing fits unrelated to season allergies.

​

6. Stomach irritation and irregular bowel movements

As old energy and lower vibration move through your physical body, you could notice that you ‘let go’ with increased movement in your stomach and bowels. You quite literally can either release a flood of old energy via the bowels or resist it leaving and then feel constipated. Water and rest help to clear what is ready to move through.

​

7. Shortness of breath

Along with heart expansion during 5D ascension, your lungs are taking in greater capacity for life. And so, you could find that as your energy field grows, you experience sporadic shortness of breath. Deep breathing, right down into your belly (in through the nose and out through the mouth) assists with a more even breath.

​

8. Waking at night between 2 am and 4 am consistently.

Much is going on and your body is recalibrating to the different energies. This is the hour of the night when energy is still. You can experience greater clarity during these hours while your human self is quiet. Allowing yourself to meditate or journal at this time can bring greater healing and clarity.

​

9. Memory loss.

You are in more than one dimension at a time, and going back and forth is part of the transition. Being in the Now is the way of the New World. This often happens when you grow in self-awareness. You become more interested in ‘the moment’ than the past. Higher vibration energy keeps you in the moment, where the energy of pure potential exists.

​

10. ‘Seeing’ and ‘hearing’ things that are not there.

You are experiencing different dimensions as you transition, all according to how sensitive you are and how you are wired.

​

​11. Loss of identity.

You might feel lost, the old you no longer seem to fit. Activities that you once enjoyed, that were part of your identity, hold little interest. This is because you have been clearing different energies from your system, and you need time to adjust to a new vibrational range. 

​

​12. Feeling ‘out of body’ or ungrounded.

​Your body is going through a lot and you may not want to be in it. You are disassociating from the extra information you are experiencing. Be gentle with yourself, this is a way of easing the transition process and it will pass.

​

​13. Sleep Habits will shift and change

Some will go through periods of needing more sleep. That is because while you are at rest you are integrating new energies and in sleep, you’re less resistant. Some people will move through periods of needing less sleep. Many will be so awake, excited and inspired that they need less sleep. Follow your individual call.

​

​14. Heightened sensitivities to your surroundings.

Noise, crowds, certain foods, news, violent TV shows and movies, other human voices and various other stimulations are barely tolerable.  You are tuning your vibration to a higher frequency, and the intensity will eventually pass. Learn to pay attention to how things make you feel.

​

​15. You are in a deep rest period, cave, or chrysalis.

You are ‘rebooting’. Your body knows what it needs. In addition, when you begin reaching the higher realms, ‘doing’ and ‘making things happen’ become obsolete as the new energies require listening deeply, receiving, creating, and nurturing yourself into alignment.

 

16. An intolerance for things not of your vibration: conversations, attitudes, societal structures, rules etc.

What isn't for you will register in your body as a tweak to your awareness (you'll feel ill, your gut will react etc) as you learn to tune into your unique guidance system. Discernment is your superpower in the New Earth.

​

​17. A loss of desire for certain foods.

Your body is adjusting to a new, higher state of being. It will tell you what you need to take in as nourishment. Pay attention and stick to no hard and fast rules.

​

​18. A sudden disappearance of friends, activities, habits, jobs and residences.

You are evolving beyond what you used to be, and these people and surroundings no longer match your vibration. The universe will place you where you are needed the most, surrender to the process, and allow yourself space to grieve.

​

​19. Days or weeks of extreme fatigue.

​Your body is losing density and going through intense restructuring.

​

​20. A need to eat often along with what feels like attacks of low blood sugar.

Weight gain, especially in the abdominal area. A craving for protein. You are requiring an enormous amount of fuel for this ascension process. Weight gain with an inability to lose it no matter what you do is one of the most typical experiences. Trust that your body knows what it is doing.

​

​21. Experiencing emotional ups and downs; weeping, intense anger etc.

Our emotions are our outlet for releasing the old and outdated parts of ourselves. Be gentle with yourself, you are releasing a lot.

​

22. A longing to go Home, a feeling that you want everything to be over, and you don’t belong here anymore.

We are returning to Source. Everything is over, but many of us are staying to experience and create the New World. 

​

​23. Feeling you are going insane, or must be developing a mental illness of some sort.

​ We are becoming more sensitive as the vibrations shift and rise in frequency. Timelines are crossing and even converging. There is a lot of information available to you now. You are just not used to it. Your awareness has been heightened and your barriers thinning. This will also pass and you will eventually feel very comfortable in this new reality.

​

​24. Anxiety and sudden panic.

Your ego is losing much of itself and is afraid. It feels like it is dying. Things are happening to you that you may not understand. You are also losing behaviour patterns of a lower vibration that you developed for survival while living this human experience. Many untrained empaths may feel anxious because of the vibrations they pick up and absorb from others and the environment. When there is a lot of cosmic activity, you can feel the collective anxiety rise, accompanied by many of the physical symptoms from this list. If you are sensitive to other’s energy fields, being aware of your abilities is key. Learning to bubble yourself as you move about the world will help you navigate in this heightened state of awareness.

​

​25. Vivid, wild and sometimes violent dreams.

You are releasing many lifetimes of lower vibrational energy. You are helping the collective release lower vibrational energy too. Through the dream state, you can learn more about who you are and you’ll be gaining greater clarity on past situations and future visions. Focus on the ‘feelings’ you experience in your dreams as they are clues on where your soul wants you to pay attention.

​

26. Heat rising in the body, night sweats and hot flashes.

 Your soul is burning away illusions of what no longer serves you, as well as making space for deeper truths to reside in your cell memory. Rest and drink lots of water when this occurs, as it will pass and reveal greater awareness and a clearer direction when complete.

​

27. Ringing or low hum in the ears.

Your ears are receiving high-vibration sounds. This is often mistaken for tinnitus. Ear downloads are a way that high-vibration information can be passed into your energy body. Everything is made of vibration and you’re receiving information that will help you recalibrate. These pitches and frequencies are a way of alerting you and tapping you into your larger consciousness. Your antennas are being activated, and you are experiencing heightened awareness. As your higher guidance to soften the messages.

​

28. Spiritual Flu.

This can be a combination of many of the physical symptoms but even though you flu-like symptoms, you’re not actually ‘physically ill’. It’s more of an energetic sickness that passes quickly. It can often feel like a storm is moving through your body. As you clear old timelines, and ancestral cell memory your body is purging through the physical. 

 

29. Headaches and migraines

Your brain is forming new neural pathways. You’re creating ‘new thought paths’. The more you accept newness without resisting, the easier this process will feel. Drink lots of water and rest.

​

30. Vertigo.

This can happen around big cosmic events like solar flaring, eclipses and supermoons. Ground yourself by creating a pillar of light that grounds you to the earth.  This helps you with stability during these times of expansion. As the earth and its frequency raises you need to know how to stabilize yourself and your energy field.

 

31.  An increase in your natural spiritual gifts.

Your ‘clair’ senses, telepathic connection, mediumship and intuitive abilities are heightened. ​As we raise our vibration, our natural abilities 'come online', Pre-existing abilities strengthen, and extra gifts emerge. ​

 

32. Sudden and temporary skin conditions like rashes, acne or patches of dry skin.

​As your body recalibrates, it purges toxins. Be patient. Things are shifting.

 

​33. Shift in your eyesight.

Changes in vision, perception, sparks or flashes of light in your peripheral vision. Dry or itchy eyes, or blurry vision from time to time, or see air or static energy in the air. Your eyes can become activated when life is changing very quickly before you. Your third eye may be developing, as your inner sight expands and your intuition and psychic abilities come online. Rest your eyes frequently by closing them and allow yourself space to be still. 

 

34. Noticing double/triple digit numbers.

Number sequences will begin to call your attention. Soul resonates with the language of symbolism. Numerical sequences are an easy way for spirit to get your attention. When you see them in uniform sequence (11:11, 2:22, 3:33 etc.) these become markers, serving to awaken you to the direction of your higher consciousness.

 

35. Greater empathy and compassion.

As you deepen your ascension process the energy centre of your heart will expand and create a greater field of compassion around your physical body. You’ll more easily feel what others feel and pick up on energy from your environment. Tears and emotions can be strong, usually during heightened periods of cosmic activity.

 

36. Increased self-awareness of your old patterns

As your consciousness grows, so does your ability to reflect and make self-responsible determinations of where and how you’ve developed repetitive patterns because of choices you’ve made. With considered insight comes the ability to consciously choose and shift your patterns to a higher energy flow. You do this with daily action steps.

With all of this and more going on, Reiki can help you integrate these new vibrations and awareness with greater ease.
