3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Talk About Your Awakening
If you woke up, you’re probably already weird
1. A Spiritual Awakening Is an Odd Experience
Most of the people who experience an awakening have felt weird at some point in their life, but if you’re on a true awakening journey and made some progress, it won’t bother you that people think you’re weird. It won’t bother you because you can admit you’re weird and love all the weird things.
Angel numbers. Chakras. Moon signs. Saturn returns. Mercury retrograde. Crystals. Third eye. Dark nights of the soul. That’s all some really weird stuff ‘normal’ people aren’t into. But you? You love the weird and the odd things!
Spiritual awakenings are odd. They're a strange phenomenon. One day you're sleepwalking on auto-pilot in the matrix and the next day the universe shakes you awake and moves the ground from under your feet.
The universe wakes you up from your sleep, and life falls apart.
The strangest part about all of that is that you can't even express what is happening. You can't find the right words and when you try, people ask if you're well. They ask if maybe you've gone a little crazy.
They just don’t understand.
Spiritual awakening isn't common, and they don't happen to everyone. It happens to the select few. It happens to the weirdos who felt different their whole lives. The misfits who can't fit in. The black sheep who is rejected and left all alone. The outcast who isn't accepted by society. The rebel who won't conform and rebels against rigid and outdated beliefs.
Awakening happens to a few chosen ones whose mission here is to rise up against the status quo and bring the light.
When you wake up, you’ll remember everything and you’ll have so much to share with the world.
You’ll want to talk about everything you’re learning and discovering, but people will pull back. They’ll think you’re weird and getting weirder by the day.
You will feel alienated when you start talking to people about crazy topics no one understands because it’s not taught in schools or backed by science.
People will not accept it as truth.
When you keep talking about such things, people may think you joined a cult or you're on some type of drug and if you’re not very strong and advanced on your journey, you’ll take some of the things people say to you very personally.
Some people can make you feel as if something is wrong with you and you might believe them. You might go see a therapist who will prescribe some anti-depressants to dim your light.
This is why you need to keep your awakening to yourself, especially in the beginning stages, when the ground is still moving beneath your feet.
Your awakening is a very personal thing. It isn’t something to be shouted from the rooftops. It’s something to isolate yourself and go through alone so you can focus on the things you agreed to come to the earth to do.
This doesn’t mean you have to hide away in the closet.
It’s okay to talk about it with people who are spiritually aware and others who are open-minded and will not judge or make you feel like something is wrong with you.
The timing in which you share makes a big difference in helping you move forward in your spiritual awakening faster and not hinder or pull you back.
2. Society Doesn’t Accept Spiritual Awakenings
Society these days don’t hold space for spiritual awakenings as older shamanic traditions did. Older shamanic traditions were known for being cultures that understood what a spiritual awakening is and therefore provided support, but modern cultures don’t even embrace shamanism. They think it's more weird stuff.
Western cultures don’t accept awakenings as normal and so they don’t provide support or a community to a person who is awakening.
They fear anything with the word spirit in it because of what is often portrayed in horror films.
Spirits are labeled as bad and scary and some of them really are, but true Spirit, which makes up Spirituality is good.
Our society and culture are just coming into this level of mass consciousness but are not yet prepared to hold space for the person who is going through an awakening.
There will come a time where plenty of people will wake up to support one another, but we are not there yet.
In the modern world, spiritual awakening is very frequently mistaken for mental illness, a nervous breakdown, or a midlife crisis. You risk getting thrown into a psych ward if you go around talking about weird stuff. That is why you must be careful who you talk about your spiritual awakening with and where.
And before you talk about it, you must feel your own power and stand in it.
If you are not yet in your power; if you’re an empath, extremely fragile, and highly sensitive, don't talk about it just yet or you’ll be influenced by the opinions of others.
They’ll tell you to stop making so much noise with your spiritual talk and just go back to sleep.
If you’re just starting your journey, hold off on talking about your awakening until you develop your empathic abilities and can stand strong in your power.

3. People Will Think You Finally Lost Your Mind
They may be right. When you awaken, you lose your mind a bit. But what they don’t know is that losing your mind is a great thing.
You lose your mind to find yourself.
The moment the universe shakes you awake, you begin losing aspects of yourself so you can connect with your true self.
The universe removes the shaky ground from under your feet and replaces it with more solid ground.
You change and you become someone totally different when you lose your aggressive egoic mind.
You’ll start talking differently.
You may have been young and dumb and always had stupid things coming out of your mouth, but suddenly, your eyes will be wide open, you'll grow wiser and you’ll keep a tight rein on your tongue.
You’ll start eating differently.
You may have been someone who ate buffalo chicken wings every night and, all of a sudden, you can’t stand the sight of it. You'll say chickens are sentient beings who feel pain and so you won't eat it.
You'll start acting differently.
You may have been someone who went out with friends every weekend, drank alcohol, and did stupid shit, but all of a sudden, you'll tell your friends week after week that you're just staying home.
You’ll change.
You won’t enjoy the same old things and your friends won’t know who you are anymore. Your family will be worried about you; they'll think you are so depressed or you’re going through an existential crisis and they'll try to find you help.
If you have no one around who truly understands what you are going through and why you are going through it, it can feel lonely. And if the ones you open up to tell you to snap out of it or get medical help, it can make you feel even more lonely.
A spiritual awakening is already an intense phase of your life where you may feel lost and confused with all the changes that are going on with you and you don’t need the outside chaos and distraction.
If the person you are talking to isn’t even mildly aware, they may project their fears onto you. If you tell your partner, your friend, or a family member who has no spiritual understanding that you are waking up, connecting to the universe, the angels, spirit guides, and all the other weird spiritual stuff, they’ll think you finally lost your mind!
You are going to be pushed back and you can’t blame them because they just don’t know.
If you don’t have people who understand what’s happening, then put off talking about it until you’re at the point where you are less likely to be manipulated, influenced, and less likely to accept the projections of others unto you.

Final Thoughts
Most people who go through a spiritual awakening, unfortunately, don’t have people around them who understand.
If it feels like it’s all too much and you need someone to talk to, there are many places online where you can seek the right people who won't judge you and will understand what you are going through.
But if luckily for you, the people around you are spiritually aware, then that’s amazing! Have fun talking about all of it.
