Symptoms of Ascension


Along with two warnings from Guidance, one for adding more colloidal silver to
the water you drink lately, and a second for stocking up on (freezing) natural
organic chicken if you want to eat chicken in the future, chickens very very
potentially being the source of a future pandemic, here\'s an older posting on
the symproms of ascension, some of which seem to be growing stronger as the
ascension process continues:

Symptoms of Ascension

Symptoms of Ascension: The advice given for many of the symptoms is also
gathered from various sources (books on traditional spiritual practices
as well as channeled information) and may not reflect my own personal
experience. As with anything, use discernment: if it\'s
useful, fine; if not, ignore it. One excellent book to read is What Is A
Lightbody? Archangel Ariel channeled by Tashira Tachi-ren. Or Jack
Kornfield\'s A Path with Heart. We all experience our spiritual
development in our own unique way.

For some of us the changes occur slowly; for others a series of events
can trigger sudden growth. We do not all share the same symptoms or
changes. And certainly we hold our individual spiritual beliefs. We are
as different as snowflakes, yet we share a common essence and general
shape. Some of this information may resonate for you. Other concepts may
not be comfortable for you. Each of us must examine new information and
discern for ourselves what is truth and what does not serve us.

So I ask you to do this for yourself as you read this list. You are
responsible for your own interpretation. Peace and Love, Ellen

SYMPTOMS OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

1. Changing sleep patterns: restlessness, hot feet, waking up two or
three times a night. Feeling tired after you wake up and sleepy off
and on during the day.

There is something called the Triad Sleep Pattern that occurs for
many: you sleep for about 2-3 hours, wake up, go back to sleep for
another couple of hours, wake again, and go back to sleep again. For
others, the sleep requirements have changed. You can get by on less
sleep.

Lately I have been experiencing huge waves of energy running into my
body from the crown. It feels good, but it keeps me awake for a long
time, and then subsides.

Advice: Get used to it. Make peace with it and don\'t worry about
getting enough sleep (which often causes more insomnia). You will be
able to make it through the day if you hold thoughts of getting just
what you need. You can also request your Higher Power to give you a
break now and then and give you a good, deep night\'s sleep.
If you can\'t go back to sleep right away, use the waking moments to
meditate, read poetry, write in your journal or look at the moon. Your
body will adjust to the new pattern.

2. Activity at the crown of the head: Tingling, itching, prickly,
crawling sensations along the scalp and/or down the spine. A sense of
energy vibrating on top of the head, as if energy is erupting from the
head in a shower. Also the sensation of energy pouring in through the
crown, described as \"sprinkles\".

This may also be experienced as pressure on the crown, as if someone
is pushing his/her finger into the center of your head. As I mentioned
in #1, I have been experiencing huge downloads of energy through the
crown.

In the past, I have felt more generalized pressure, as if my head is
in a gentle vise. One man related that his hair stood on end and his
body was covered with goose bumps.

Advice: This is nothing to be alarmed about. What you are experiencing
is an opening of the crown Chakras. The sensations mean that you are
opening up to receive divine energy.

3. Sudden waves of emotion. Crying at the drop of a hat. Feeling
suddenly angry or sad with little provocation. Or inexplicably
depressed. Then very happy. Emotional roller coaster. There is often a
pressure or sense of emotions congested in the heart chakra (the
middle of the chest). This is not to be confused with the heart, which
is located to the left of the heart Chakras.

Advice: Accept your feelings as they come up and let them go. Go
directly to your heart chakra and feel the emotion. Expand it outward
to your all your fields and breathe deeply from the belly all the way
up to your upper chest. Just feel the feeling and let it evaporate on
its own. Don\'t direct the emotions at anyone.

You are cleaning out your past. If you want some help with this, say
out loud that you intend to release all these old issues and ask your
Higher Power to help you. You can also ask Grace Elohim to help you
release with ease and gentleness. Be grateful that your body is
releasing these emotions and not holding onto them inside where they
can do harm.

One source suggests that depression is linked to letting go of
relationships to people, work, etc. that no longer match our
frequencies and us. When we feel guilty about letting go of these
relationships, depression helps us medicate that pain.

4. Old \"stuff\" seems to be coming up, as described above, and the
people with whom you need to work it out (or their clones) appear in
your life. Completion issues.

Or perhaps you need to work through issues of self-worth, abundance,
creativity, addictions, etc. The resources or people you need to help
you move through these issues start to appear.

Advice: Same as #3. Additionally, don\'t get too involved in analyzing
these issues. Examining them too much will simply cycle you back
through them over and over again at deeper and deeper levels. Get
professional help if you need to and walk through it.

Do not try to avoid them or disassociate yourself from them. Embrace
whatever comes up and thank it for helping you move ahead. Thank your
Higher Power for giving you the opportunity to release these issues.
Remember, you don\'t want these issues to stay stuck in your body.

5. Changes in weight. The weight gain in the US population is
phenomenal. Other people may be losing weight.
We often gain weight because many fears we have suppressed are now
coming up to the surface to be healed. We react by building up a
defense. We also attempt to ground ourselves or provide bulk against
increasing frequencies in our bodies.

Advice: Don\'t freak out, but just accept it as a symptom of where you
are right now. You will release/gain the weight when all your fears
have been integrated. Release your anxiety about this. Then you might
find it easier to lose/gain the weight eventually. Exercise.

Before eating, try this: Sit at the table with an attractive place
setting. Light a candle. Enjoy how the food looks. Place your dominant
hand over your heart and bless the food. Tell your body that you are
going to use the food to richly nourish it, but that you are not going
to use the food to fulfill your emotional hungers.

Then pass your hand from left to right over the food and bless it. You
may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even if the food is
cold-- I like to think that the food is good for me when it feels warm
and nourishing to my hand. I have also noticed that when I practice
blessing the food, I don\'t eat as much. It is important not to let
yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before you eat.
If I\'ve forgotten and I\'ve nearly finished eating, I bless the food
anyway. That way I don\'t slip out of the habit. Another thing you can
do is to stay present while eating -- don\'t watch TV or read. Heartily
enjoy what blessings are before you.

6. Changes in eating habits: Strange cravings and odd food choices.
Some find they are not as hungry as they used to be. Or hungrier.
Advice: Don\'t deny what your body tells you it needs. If you are not
sure, you might try muscle testing before you chose a food to see if
it\'s what your body wants. Also try blessing the food as described in
#5.

7. Food intolerances, allergies you never had before: As you grow more
spiritual, you are more sensitive to everything around you. Your body
will tell you what it can no longer tolerate, as if it, too, is
sloughing off what doesn\'t serve it anymore. You might be cleansing
yourself of toxins. Some people find they often have a white residue
in their mouth, much like that of runners at the end of a race.

Advice: An acupuncturist told me that this film can be removed by
sloshing 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed olive oil in your mouth for
10-15 minutes (don\'t swallow, whatever you do), then spitting it out
into the toilet -- not the sink, for you just removed toxins from your
body and don\'t want them in the sink. Brush your teeth and do the
same. Then clean your brush. (Sorry this is yucky, but it works.)

8. Amplification of the senses. Increased sensitivity.

8a. Sight: Blurry vision, shimmering objects, seeing glittery
particles, auras around people, plants, animals, and objects. Some
report seeing formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close
your eyes, you no longer see darkness, but redness. You may also see
geometric shapes or brilliant colors and pictures when eyes are
closed. Colors appear more vivid -- the sky might look teal or the
grass an amazing green. Often I see grids running across the ground.
As you become more sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the
air, especially when the room is almost dark. When your eyes are open
or closed, you may see white shapes in your peripheral vision (these
are your guides).

Advice: Your vision is changing in many ways -- you are experiencing
new ways of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid.
Hazy vision maybe relieved by yawning.

8b. Hearing: Increased or decreased hearing. I once thought I would
have to pull off the road because of the painfully amplified sound of
my tires on the freeway. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the
head, beeps, tones, music or electronic patterns. Some hear water
rushing, bees buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what
is called audio dyslexia-- you can\'t always make out what people are
saying, as if you can no longer translate your own language.
Some hear strange voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering
near them. You can either ask the presence(s) to leave or ask
Archangel Michael to take care of the situation. Again, there is
nothing to fear.

Advice: Surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are
adjusting to new frequencies.

8c. Enhanced senses of smell, touch, and/or taste. I notice I can now
smell and taste chemical additives in some foods in a rather
unpleasant manner. Other food may taste absolutely wonderful. For some
people, these enhancements are both delightful and distracting. You
might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and then. Many of the
mystics did. Enjoy it.

9. Skin eruptions: Rashes, bumps, acne, hives, and shingles. Anger
produces outbreaks around the mouth and chin. I had dermatitis on my
extremities for several months that accompanied healing an episode
from my past. When I had worked through most of the issue, the
condition was released.

Advice: You may be sloughing off toxins and bringing emotions to the
surface. When there is an issue to be released and you are trying to
repress it, your skin will express the issue for you until you process
the emotions. Work through your \"stuff\".

10. Episodes of intense energy which make you want to leap out of bed
and into action. Followed by periods of lethargy and fatigue. The
fatigue usually follows great shifts. This is a time of integration,
so give into it.

Advice: Roll with the nature of the energy. Don\'t fight it. Be gentle
with yourself. Take naps if you are tired. Write your novel if you are
too energized to sleep. Take advantage of the type of energy.

11. Changes in prayer or meditation. Not feeling the same sensations
as before. Not having the same experience of being in contact with
Spirit. Difficulty in focusing.

Advice: You may be in more instant and constant communion with Spirit
now and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this
new feeling. You are actually thinking and acting in partnership with
Spirit most of the time now. You may find your meditation periods
shorter.

12. Power surges: All of a sudden you are heated from head to toe. It
is a momentary sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people
have felt inexplicably cold. I have experienced both. More recently I
experience waves or currents of energy rolling through me. Sometimes
the energy seems so intense when it first comes into my body that I
feel a little nauseated.

But if I think of the energy as divine and let go of fear, I feel
wonderful and enjoy the sensation. If you are an energy worker, you
may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has
increased tremendously. This is good. Advice: If you are
uncomfortable, ask your Higher Power, that if it be for your best and
highest good, to turn down/up the temperature a bit.

13. A range of physical manifestations: Headaches, backaches, neck
pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called vibrational flu), digestive
problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing heartbeat, chest pains,
changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in the limbs, and
involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements. Some of us have even
had old conditions from childhood reappear briefly for healing.

Advice: Remember what I said about seeking medical help if you need
it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition, relax
in the realization that it is only temporary.

14. Looking younger. Yippee! As you clear emotional issues and release
limiting beliefs and heavy baggage from the past, you are actually
lighter. Your frequency is higher. You love yourself and life more.
You begin to resemble the perfect you that you really are.

15. Vivid dreams. Sometimes the dreams are so real that you wake up
confused. You may even have lucid dreams in which you are in control.
Many dreams may be mystical or carry messages for you. And in some
dreams, you just know that you are not \"dreaming\" -- that what is
happening is somehow real.

Advice: You will remember what is important
for you to remember. Don\'t force anything. Above all, stay out of fear.

16. Events that completely alter your life: death, divorce, change in
job status, loss of home, illness, and/or other catastrophes --
sometimes several at once! Forces that cause you to slow down,
simplify, change, re-examine who you are and what your life means to
you. Forces that you cannot ignore. Forces that cause you release your
attachments. Forces that awaken your sense of love and compassion for
all.

17. A desire to break free from restrictive patterns, life-draining
jobs consumptive lifestyles, and toxic people or situations. You feel
a compelling need to \"find yourself\" and your life purpose -- now! You
want to be creative and free to be who you really are. You might find
yourself drawn to the arts and nature. You want to unclutter yourself
from things and people that no longer serve you. Advice: Do it!

18. Emotional and mental confusion: A feeling that you need to get
your life straightened out--it feels like a mess. But at the same time
you feel chaotic and unable to focus. See #45.
Advice: Put your ear to your heart and your own discernment will follow.

19. Introspection, solitude and loss of interest in more extraverted
activities: This stage has come as a surprise to many extraverts who
formerly saw themselves as outgoing and involved. They say, \"I don\'t
know why, but I don\'t like to go out as much as before.\"

20. Creativity bursts: Receiving images, ideas, music, and other
creative inspirations at an often overwhelming rate.

Advice: At least record these inspirations, for Spirit is speaking to
you about how you might fulfill your purpose and contribute to the
healing of the planet.

21. A perception that time is accelerating. It seems that way because
you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an
unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing.

Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time segments
increases the sense of acceleration

You can slow time down by relaxing into the present moment and paying
attention to what\'s at hand, not anticipating what\'s ahead. Slow down
and tell yourself that you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power
to help you. Keep your focus on the present. Try to flow from one
activity to the next. Stay tuned to your inner guidance. You can also
warp time by asking for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, \"Time
warp, please. I need some more time to -----.\" Then relax.

22. A sense of impendingness. There is a feeling that something is
about to happen. This can create anxiety.

Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely
happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your
thoughts -- positiveor negative-- are prayers. There is nothing to fear.

23. Impatience. You know better, but sometimes you can\'t help it. You
want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is
not comfortable.

Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing
that nothing comes to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a
lack of trust, especially trust in your Higher Power. When you focus
on the present, you will experience miracles -- yes, even in traffic.

24. A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and
revelation. Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in
your life. \"Constant craving\", as k.d. lang says. The material world
cannot fulfill this longing.

Advice: Follow your heart and the way
will open up for you.

25. A feeling that you are somehow different. A disquieting sense that
everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have left your
old self behind. You have. You are much greater than you can possibly
imagine. There is more to come.

26. \"Teachers\" appear everywhere with perfect timing to help you on
your spiritual journey: people, books, movies, events, Mother Nature,
etc. Teachers may appear to be negative or positive when you are
trapped in polarity thinking, but, from a transcendent perspective,
they are always perfect. Just what you need to learn from and move on.
By the way, we never get more than we are ready to master. Each
challenge presents us with an opportunity to show our mastery in
passing through it.

27. You find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and \"speaks to
you\" at the most profound levels. Suddenly you are gaining a
perspective that you would never have considered before. You hunger to
know more. You read, share with others, ask questions, and go inside
to discover more about who you are and why you are here

28. You are moving through learning and personal issues at a rapid
pace. You sense that you are \"getting it\" quite readily.

Advice: Keep remembering that things will come to you when they are
ready to be healed. Not sooner. Deal with whatever comes up with
courage and you will move through the issues rapidly.

29. Invisible presences. Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report
feeling surrounded by beings at night or having the sensation of being
touched or talked to. Often they will wake with a start. Some also
feel their body orbed vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic
changes after emotional clearing has taken place.

Advice: This is a sensitive topic, but you may feel better blessing
your bed and space around it before you sleep. I rest assured that I
am surrounded only by the most magnificent spiritual entities and am
always safe in God\'s care. Sometimes, however, the fear gets to me,
and I call in Archangel Michael and/or Archangel Uriel. I don\'t beat
myself up for being afraid sometimes. I forgive myself for not always
sovereign at 3:00 a.m.

30. Portents, visions, \"illusions\", numbers, and symbols: Seeing
things that have spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers
appear synchronistically in your awareness. Everything has a message
if you take the time to look. I enjoy the experience of \"getting the
messages.\" What fun!

31. Increased integrity: You realize that it is time for you to seek
and speak your truth. It suddenly seems important for you to become
more authentic, more yourself. You may have to say \"no\" to people whom
you have tried to please in the past. You may find it intolerable to
stay in a marriage or job or place that doesn\'t support who you are.
You may also find there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep
anymore. Honesty becomes important in all your relationships.

Advice: Listen to your heart. If your guidance tells you not to do
something, speak up and take action. Say \"no\". Likewise, you must also
say \"yes\" to that which compels you. You must risk displeasing others
without guilt in order to attain spiritual sovereignty.

32. Harmony with seasons and cycles: You are becoming more tuned to
the seasons, the phases of the moon and natural cycles. More awareness
of your place in the natural world. A stronger connection to the earth.

33. Electrical and mechanical malfunctions: When you are around, light
bulbs flicker, the computer locks up, or the radio goes haywire.

Advice: Call on your angels, guides, or Grace Elohim to fix it or put
up a field of protection of light around the machine. Surround your
car with bluelight. Laugh.

34. Increased synchronicity and many small miracles. Look for more of
these.

Advice: Synchronistic events tell you if you are heading in the right
direction or making the correct choices. Honor these clues and you
cannot go astray. Spirit uses synchronicity to communicate to you.
That\'s when you begin to experience daily miracles. See #30.

35. Increased intuitive abilities and altered states of consciousness:
Thinking of someone and immediately hearing from them. More
synchronicities. Having sudden insights about patterns or events from
the past. Clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic
phenomena. Intensified sensitivity and knowing. Awareness of one\'s
essence and that of others. Channeling angelic and
higher-consciousness energies.

36. Communication with Spirit. Contact with angels, spirit guides, and
other divine entities. Channeling. More and more people seem to be
given this opportunity. Feeling inspiration and downloading
information that takes form as writing, painting, ideas,
communications, dance, etc.

37. A sense of Oneness with all. A direct experience of this
Wholeness. Transcendent awareness. Being flooded with compassion and
love for all life. Compassionate detachment or unconditional love for
all is what lifts us up to higher levels of consciousness and joy.

38. Moments of joy and bliss. A deep abiding sense of peace and
knowing that you are never alone.

39. Integration: You become emotionally, psychologically, physically,
and spiritually stronger and clearer. You feel as if you are in
alignment with your Higher Self.

40. Living your purpose: You know you are finally doing what you came
to earth for. New skills and gifts are emerging, especially healing
ones. Your life/work experiences are now converging and starting to
make sense. You are finally going to use them all.

Advice: Listen to your heart. Your passion leads you to where you must
go. Go within and ask your Higher Power, \"What is it you would have me
do?\" Watch for synchronicities. Listen.

41. Feeling closer to animals and plants. To some people, animals now
seem to be more \"human\" in their behavior. Wild animals are less
afraid. Plants respond to your love and attention more than ever. Some
may even have messages for you.

42. Seeing beings of other dimensions. The veil between dimensions is
thinner, so it is not surprising. Just stay in your sovereignty. You
are more powerful than you can ever imagine, so do not entertain fear.
Ask your guides for help if you slip into fear.

43. Seeing a person\'s true form or seeing loved ones with a different
face -- past life or parallel life. 44. Physically manifesting
thoughts and desires more quickly and efficiently.
Advice: Monitor your thoughts. All thoughts are prayers. Be careful
what you ask for.

45. Left -brain fogginess. Your psychic abilities,
your intuitive knowing, your feeling and compassion, your ability to
experience your body, your visioning, your expressiveness all emanate
from the right brain. In order for this side of the brain to develop
more fully, the left brain must shut down a little bit. Normally the
left-hemisphere\'s capacity for order, organization, structure, linear
sequencing, analysis, evaluation, precision, focus, problem-solving,
and mathematics dominate our often less-valued right brain.

What results are memory lapses, placing words in the wrong sequence,
inability or no desire to read for very long, inability to focus;
forgetting what you are just about to say; impatience with linear
forms of communication (audio or written formats); a feeling of
spaciness, being scattered; losing interesting research or complex
information; feeling bombarded with words and talk and information;
and a reluctance to write. Sometimes you feel dull and have no
interest in analysis, lively intellectual discussion, or investigation.

On the other hand, you might find yourself drawn to the sensate:
videos, magazines with photos, beautiful artwork, movies, music,
sculpting, painting, being with people, dancing, gardening, walking,
and other kinesthetic forms of expression. You may search for
spiritual content, even science fiction. Advice: You may discover that
if you allow your heart and your right brain to lead you, the left
will then be activated appropriately to support you. And someday we
will be well balanced, using both hemispheres with mastery.

46. Dizziness. This occurs when you are ungrounded. Perhaps you have
just cleared a big emotional issue and your body is adjusting to your
\"lighter\" state. Advice: Ground yourself by eating protein. Sometimes
\"comfort food\" feels right. Don\'t make any food right or wrong for
you. Use your guidance to know what you need at any given moment. Take
your shoes off and put your feet in the grass for a couple of minutes.

47. Falling, having accidents, breaking bones. Your body is not
grounded or perhaps your life is out of balance. Or your body may be
telling you to slow down, examine certain aspects of your life, or
heal certain issues. There is always a message. When I recently broke
my ankle, I understand that my ankle was taking on what I myself
refused to deal with. And that was all of the above.

Advice: Stay grounded by taking your shoes off and putting your feet
in the grass; even better, lie down on the grass without a blanket
under you. Feel the earth beneath you. Get out in nature. Slow down
and pay attention. Be mindful about what you are doing. Feel your
feelings when they come up. Stay in the present. Surround yourself
with blue light when you are feeling shaky.

49. Heart palpitations. A racing heart usually accompanies a heart
opening. It only lasts for a few moments and means that the heart is
re-balancing itself after an emotional release. I had one episode that
terrified me: I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding.
I thought it was going to come right out of my chest. It only happened
once and was, I understand, a huge heart-chakra opening. But I did
check it out. There is nothing wrong with my heart.

Advice: Remember what I said about getting medical attention when
needed. Consult your doctor about any conditions you are not
comfortable with.

50. Faster hair and nail growth. More protein is being used in the
body. Too bad we can\'t tell the body where to grow the hair and where
not to grow it. (Or can we? Hmmm.)

----------------------------------------------------------

51. A desire to find your soul mate or twin flame. More than ever
before, the idea that we can have a relationship that matches who we
are seems more desirable.

Advice: The truth is, we have to be the kind of person we want to
attract. We have to love ourselves and where we are right now before
we can attract a more \"perfect\" mate. The work begins at home. Here is
how I think it works: Hold the desire for this person in your heart,
but without attachment. Expect that someday you will meet someone who
is more suited to you, but let go of any expectations as to who this
will be and how it will happen. Focus instead on cleaning up your own
life and being the kind of person you want to be. Be happy now. Enjoy
your life. Then you may see.....

52. Memories surface. Body memories, suppressed memories, images of
past lives and/or parallel lives. We are healing and integrating all
our \"selves\", so expect to have some of these experiences.
Advice. Keep in mind that it is best to recall what only what comes to
mind, leave the rest alone, don\'t analyze everything to death (because
you will be stuck in the tape loop of infinite issues to process), and
feel your feelings as they come up. Ask for help from your guides.
