Every time you heal something within yourself, you release old energy and your frequency rises. Did you know that raising your frequency can cause discomfort? These symptoms of growth are called Ascension Symptoms. Do not suppress them, but take them seriously. They must be acknowledged, for they are essential for your health on all levels. Ascension symptoms make you whole and reconnect you with ‘home’.

‘We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.’
Pierre Teilhard de Jardin

During one of the shifts I went through, I experienced deep tiredness, muscle pain and forgetfulness. In fact, we can experience Ascension symptoms on all levels of your being. On which levels do you usually experience them?

Do you recognise one or more of the following Ascension Symptoms on a physical, emotional, mental, spiritual or relational level?

Releasing physical tension can be accompanied by all sorts of aches and pains, even flu-like symptoms. In the alignment process of becoming a bridge between Heaven (Father) and Earth (Mother), I often experience phases of severe back pain, which lead me to other lives or unresolved issues. Healing and becoming whole can take a lot of energy and this naturally leads to deep tiredness. And did you know that your body becomes a more sensitive instrument as you develop it to a higher frequency?

• Be gentle with your aches and pains and ask them what their message is
• Sleep a bit more, doze off when you can, and call it a power nap! :)

It takes energy to heal.
However, healing and becoming whole energises.

All sorts of emotions can come up during a vibrational shift. Have you ever been on an emotional roller coaster? Waves of fear, sadness, and anger are common symptoms of releasing old memories and pain. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by emotions. Other days you may feel numb and you cannot feel anything at all. Being frozen or numb means that you are resisting the urge to feel the pain of the past on its way out. In other words, you are blocking your healing.

• Breathe in, breathe out
• Stay connected to your emotion or resistance as you breathe through it

Have you ever had sudden memory loss and fear of going crazy? This is common when your mind (which is programmed in the Third Dimension) is busy letting go of unsupportive beliefs. By moving from the Third to the Fifth Dimension, you tend to go through several paradigm shifts, which allow you to see reality with different eyes. I find that the more I am able to be in the Now (the Fifth Dimension), the less connected I am to the past (memories, trauma) and the non-existent future (worries).

• Trust the process
• Trust the wisdom of your body

You are a spiritual being, thus on your journey home you will reconnect with the spiritual realms. There is nothing strange about connecting with e.g. angels, guides, and ascended masters such as Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Many people wake up between 2 and 4 am to receive guidance. Do you often get drawn to sacred numbers such as 11:11, 22:22, etc.? When I see these, I see confirmation that I am living in synchronicity with the Universe.

• Guidance is God-given information
• Journal immediately what guidance gives you at any time, for it only comes once

Have you ever felt lonely because friends disappeared from your life? As you move from the Third to the Fifth Dimensional Reality, you will that you start to see your relationships with different eyes. The nature of your relationships will change, you will suddenly recognise how some people like to use you, or tend to ignore your boundaries, and you may feel increasingly disconnected from good old friends. You will, in a natural process, move away from those who were part of your old self. This can be a very painful process for the heart. However, your new frequency will attract new friends, based on unconditional love and mutual respect for each other’s sovereignty.

• Trust the process
• Allow yourself to be loved

t times, vibrational shifts can be tough. Be the captain of your own ship, your vessel and do not despair. Self-care is key:

• Drink water to help your body detoxify
• Visit nature, all nature heals
• Exercise, but within reason
• Meditate to find inner balance
• Pamper yourself
• Eat healthy food to support your body’s healing capacities
