Awakening can be the most blissful experience that happens to one. But to the unprepared body, it can feel like a total nervous breakdown.
The main cause of disturbances in the body following a spontaneous (Unprepared) spiritual awakening is that the frequency of the new consciousness acquired is higher than what your physical body is used to processing.
This can also be due to blockages in the body that are preventing the energy from flowing. Both physical and mental traumas are factors that contribute to this.
High voltage of energy coming across blockages creates condensed pressure on the myelin (fatty substance that coats and protects nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord). This causes a delay or loss of nervous messages. This same phenomena is known as Demyelination. The phenomena also involved in Multiple sclerosis and other nervous disorders, which is why, in many cases, spontaneous awakening symptoms can mimic those diseases. (Read more about my awakening symptoms).
To aid your physical body during a spiritual awakening and avoid permanent nerve damage, certain habit changes are required. It is important to tackle the problem holistically, clearing both the physical AND the mental traumas.
It is essential to develop new routines.

Yoga
Stretch it out. Let it flow.
Throughout human history, our ancestors became aware of the presence of a mystical, intangible force all around and in us.
The names of it differed from one culture to another: Chi, aura, prana, energy, ki, soul vibration or what our youth today call vibe. Yet it is always experienced as the life force, the energy that flows through us and through all matter. the force that gives life to the material.
In physics, quantum field theory has proved to be the single most sweeping and successful physical theory ever invented. A theory that suggests that the essence of all things is composed of fields among which are electric and magnetic fields.
When this electo-magnetic essence of our being, what we will chose to call for the sake of simplicity ‘energy’, runs into blockages, shortages happen in our nervous system.
Yoga as a practice, is to facilitates the life energy movement in the body. It directs its flow and aids clear blockages where found.
As every system is different, it is important to find the practice that works for you, in light of the blockages you are experiencing. What can help is to try out different practices with awareness and to have a feedback system to know how and when to adjust or change these practices.
The consistency of a yoga practice is key to visible results.
Breath work
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Pranayamasis, or conscious breathing, is a great way to clear energetic blockages.
I have felt the biggest impact on my symptoms following a monthly breath work practice.
My spirit guide requested doing a specific pranayama called Ananda mandala as part of my full moon ceremony. I was also given the instructions to conduct the breath work at sunset, having only consumed pure cacao drinks the entire day.
Ananda Mandala is a combined breath work and meditation for powerful cleansing. It uses an accelerated, rhythmic breathing pattern to generate a powerful prana energy that is driven through the focused attention to dissolve traumas cemented in the body.
Reduce toxins
You are what you eat.
When it comes to what eating habits work best for you, it will really depend on the type of vehicle you are inhibiting. Getting conscious about your body’s reaction to the food you consume is key to acquire that understanding.
While I was having the symptoms, the most important dietary change, my spirit guide recommended, was to reduce my intake of harmful toxins to a minimum. Eating mostly organic food when possible, avoiding pesticides, avoiding canned food.
Work
out
‘Life is like a bicycle, in order to keep balance, you have to keep moving’
Another routine that I developed later on, is practicing Surya Namaskar. This Sun salutation is a series of 11 yoga poses that are repeated for any number of times in a form of a physical mantra.
