The spiritual awakening journey is about returning to the center of yourself. It is a homecoming to your Soul or True Nature.
However, the spiritual awakening path is not linear. We don’t move from point A to point B in a single straight line. Instead, we often move in spirals and concentric circles.
Contrary to its popular depiction, spiritual awakening isn’t like hiking up an ascending mountain – instead, it’s comparable to a journey taken through a series of rippling valleys.
These valleys contain benevolent guides and treasures but also traps, monsters, and other perils.
We can go from feeling blissfully connected to devastated in the space of a few steps.
But regardless of what you’re feeling, be assured that so long as you’re on this path, you are always learning. You’re always growing.
And you are moving ever closer to the center of the mandala: your Eternal, Unchanging Self.
Spiritual Awakening Test
If you’ve read our previous spiritual wanderer’s journey page, you’ll be familiar with the different stages of this path.
The free spiritual awakening test below makes this knowledge experiential so that you can discover where you are right now. Doing so will help you to gain your bearings, orient yourself, and know what to do next.
Be aware, however, that there are no “better” or “worse” stages. This isn’t a competition. Furthermore, it’s common to move backward and forward on the path.
Ultimately, I’ve tried my best to define the indefinable. So be aware of the limitations of this test while also seeing its value.
What result did you get? I welcome you to share below!
Remember that you can revisit this test as often as you like during your journey to gain self-insight and a bird’s eye perspective.

Integration & expansion stage… everything described in this stage really is how am feeling in almost if not all areas of my life right now. I love it❤️
I’m at the shifting perspective stage. I feel more at ease with myself, but I also keep questioning myself. I still worry, and doubt myself. As you say, life is a journey, If someone had said in the past, I’d even feel like I do today, I wouldn’t have believed them. I feel much more comfortable with myself, having social anxiety isn’t easy, I have been to some very dark places internally, and I still worry and doubt things, and I’m not where I need to be in life but I’m more at peace with myself than I was. However, I often do things that ‘upset’ that equilibrium, which may be where the doubt comes in. I have a choice, so I should make the right choices to avoid doubt. I also realise I can and now need to contribute more to the world, and give back, whether it’s my time or whatever, and not just giving money, say to charity or something, but to do things rather than thinking I’m going to do something, and then not doing it, which is a bad habit of mine. I fear things, which is the big barrier standing in my way. Other… Read more »
For the past 2 weeks, I havent been feeling myself.. Ive always felt I was different… Like i had a purpose. Spirits have connected with me which was confirmed vy a Medium . Ever since my last expirence which is the main reason I started into looking into Empathy and Spiritual Awakening. The Medium had to me I was more then likely a Empath that spirits can connect with to rely messages . becayse they come to me when Im between wake and sleep. But reading about Spiritual Awakening, It is starting to make since.Ive become obsessed with trying to figure out my purpose amd if i am meant to help others including spirits I would loveee to learn how to open up my mind to everything and finally know the answers to myself and what Im truely here for.
I became extremely ill. My appetite diminished to the point of only being able to eat one bowl of rice a day. I saw Drs had every test imaginable and everything showed normal. This lasted 3 months I lost no weight even though I was not eating. I then began to have neurological symptoms. My anxiety and depression were sky high. At this time my twin flame re entered my life. He was aware I was not well he has strong intuition as well. He has his own inner work to do but long story short he ended up taking a karmic partner and it devasted me. I was still unwell and now my TF had betrayed me. Of course now I see it was my ego speaking. It led me to question everything in my life. My life’s purpose. The why?. Slowly over 2 more months I began to discover and get pulled towards more spiritual teachings. I meditated, connected with my inner self and my spirit guides my ancestors, I started exercising, eating right and slowly my health is coming back. I still have a long way to go and I know I am in the feeling lost… Read more »
February 7,2021 This awakening started a few days prior to Thanksgiving. I was conflicting with my then boyfriend who I have this energetic connection with. We hadn’t seen one another the entire weekend, that was when I realized I could feel his emotions and his physical knee pain. I told him my experience, he didn’t say anything, but I intuitively know he can feel my energy. We are currently not speaking and he blocked me. I’ve felt so alone through this, which I actually enjoy. I find that I can no longer successfully go to the grocery store, I get anxious not even sure what I got for food and leave crying and panicked. I notice signs constantly, that is actually a peaceful soothing feeling. I have cut out caffeine hoping that will help with my anxiety. I’ve increased my water intake, that feels good. I started journaling and meditating, I’ve been out of touch with friends, I can’t seem to relate with anyone…I do have a three year old just him and I. The challenge there is now I’m feeling anxious being in the same room as him and I’m not sure why that’s happening. Only reason I can… Read more »
The Deep Inner Work Stage: In 2017, I came across a spiritual Instagram account that marvellously spoke through me. When I learned from her posts that she had been a life-long loner and was a highly intuitive person, I then realized that I wasn’t alone. I’ve always been quite reserved and observant during my school years outside my home, leading to me struggle to making friends. As I reached my early 20s, I started appreciated my true self. I was in the process of “inner-standing” myself and tapping towards my subconscious. I started to become highly aware of myself and my surroundings by then. I learned that I was an empath and INFJ. So it was no wonder why I could quickly pick up the energies of people, whether I liked it or not. As an introvert I’m also the type to want to look deep into the problem to help other people. Reading my natal chart was also an interesting learning curve. I felt comfortable with myself knowing that I was alone in a crowd full of people I didn’t truly connect with. I now crave for authentic connections with others, and no longer feel the need to explain… Read more »
Amazing, I really did not think to find such fulfilling wisdom in the content. Thank you for your kindness, geneorisity, wisdom, honesty…
I am the seeking stage. My spiritual awakening began 3 days ago. My image and reputation has always secretly ruled my life. I have always been aware that knowledge, unity and believing in yourself are true means of “power” and always understood and projected that but I’ve never truly felt it inside me. Instead I have worked in jobs that have mentally crippled me while hiding it from the world because they always tell me how good my job is, how nice my car is, how respectable i present myself, how good my relationship is, how cool my friends are. The truth is the connection I have with my partner and few friends is special and I know that. But the awe and hysteria of people’s opinions has never made me feel good or in anyway. I almost feel sorry for people who say nice things to me because I’m thinking I feel lost as it is so you must be so lost you don’t even realise because why are you idolising my life. In fact during this time of realisation I’ve faced up to an issue in my life which I keep pretending isn’t a problem and keep secret… Read more »
It’s funny how the universe guides you to the correct path during the times that you don’t have anyone to turn to. The past 2 years have been extra difficult for me especially my mental health. I used to be so confident and optimistic but I am finally awake. I felt like the last 24 years of my life I’ve been walking on Earth like a ghost making terrible decisions and not prioritizing myself. I’m in the Seeking Stage and it’s quite accurate given I just started looking for answers and finding my true purpose. I manifesting strength in my journey. It would be difficult but I know it will be the most beautiful thing that will happen to me. I just know it. Thank you so much. Your website has been helping me a lot in my journey to enlightenment.
Disillusionment Stage.
Yes. Very much so.
I’ve been reclusive (and very ill) most of this year and I’ve noticed that in every situation where I have dealt with people, I could practically see right through them. I refer to it (perhaps, falsely) as clarity, but it seems very bleak and despairing. Seeing the world through different eyes is like a culture shock for the senses. It has turned itself inward and made me question everything within myself, as well as pushing through and seeking the truths of everything around me.
Yet, I’m beginning to put the pieces together. I’m having a lot of “aha!” moments now as things are starting to reveal themselves.
