Today, let’s delve into the meaning of Spiritual Ascension, 5th Dimension of Spiritual Awakening, and Metaphysical Ascension. What do these all mean? And where do you fit in?

Let’s go!

Ascension: Spiritual Meaning

Essentially, spiritual ascension is about embarking on a transformative journey of inner growth and enlightenment. It involves reviving the goodness, innocence, and wisdom within, often buried beneath life’s daily struggles, negative influences, past traumas, and pain. By transcending these burdens, you move closer to your higher self, an evolved state of being that merges with a pure, divine, and highly-vibrational energy. 

Ascension doesn’t mean to leave your body or the world. It means to bring more light into your body and the world.
– Alberto Villoldo

Stages of Ascension

As you progress through this spiritual journey of ascension, you may experience several stages. Initially, your mind awakens, sparking a new awareness of your surroundings, inner world, and the billions of opportunities available to you at any second. This is followed by the cleansing phase, where you begin to identify and release old patterns, emotions, and beliefs that no longer serve you. Embracing this purification allows room for new, uplifted energy to flow in. 

Transitioning from these stages involves letting go of past limitations and embracing new potentials. Think of it as a rebirth, where you can redefine your purpose and tap into previously hidden inner powers. The ultimate goal is to achieve a state of oneness with the universe. 

Incarnations, Past & Future Lives

This evolutionary process isn’t limited to a single lifetime; it can span multiple incarnations over what our human frameworks of time call “past” and “future.” Each step on this path unfolds new realms of knowledge and opportunities, guiding you toward a holistic understanding of your life’s purpose. Ultimately, spiritual ascension is about finding love, harmony, and flow with the cosmos, allowing you to live a life with a metaphorical toolkit to float you along life’s bumpy road while filled with love, light, and gaining boundless wisdom!

What is 5th Dimension of Spiritual Awakening?

The 5th Dimension of Spiritual Awakening symbolizes a profound shift in consciousness where one’s frequency resonates at a higher level. It transcends the physical and material layers of existence (the 3rd Dimension), connecting deeply with the energies of unconditional love, compassion, and unity—in essence, God, Creator, Source, or All-That-Is. In this state, you experience an elevated awareness and a sense of belonging to the larger tapestry of the Universe and its Creator. 

One key characteristic of ascending to the fifth dimension is a dramatic overhaul in perception. You start seeing beyond the limitations of time and space, recognizing the interconnectedness of all life, that we’re all made from the same stardust that the world was created from eons ago. This transformation can result in heightened psychic senses, intuition, greater empathetic abilities, and an unwavering sense of inner peace. Emotions like fear and anger dissipate, replaced by a compassionate and understanding outlook. 

Moreover, living in the 5th dimension involves embracing the principle of co-creation with the universe. Your thoughts, intentions, and actions align more effortlessly with the flow of life. Manifestations occur more quickly, and there is an underlying sense of harmony in your endeavors. This dimension encourages you to live authentically, guided by your higher self and spiritual truths. 

It’s also vital to note that the journey to the 5th dimension isn’t usually a sudden leap but a gradual transformation process. You might oscillate between the 3rd and 5th dimensions as you integrate these higher frequencies into your daily existence. The key is to remain patient, open-hearted, and committed to your spiritual practices, which will help you consistently anchor this enlightened state. (Note: From what I’ve learned during my channelings, the 4th dimension is where information, time, and space are organized and energies are transmuted. It’s not a place we go, per se. I almost see it like a black screen with green numbers flowing around as every atom in “reality” is connected with each other, space, time, and the ascension into pure spiritual form. For now, let’s stick to 3D and 5D. Mmkay?)

But First: The Universal Law of Vibration

What is a “vibe?” Before continuing with our ascension discussion, we must address this topic. This silly word is actually born from one of the 12 Universal Laws. The Universal Law of Vibration is pivotal in understanding spiritual ascension. At its core, this law states that everything in the universe vibrates at a specific frequency. From atoms to entire planets, these vibrations create a complex tapestry of energies. When it comes to spiritual ascension, elevating one’s vibrational frequency is essential. It’s the whole process.

“Everything in life is vibration.” – Albert Einstein

As you embark on your ascension journey, you’ll notice that increasing your vibrational frequency involves transforming lower negative energies into higher positive ones. This energetic shift allows you to align with your higher self and connect with divine energy sources. It’s akin to tuning an instrument; just as you would adjust the strings of a guitar to produce harmonious music, you elevate your vibrations to resonate with Divine harmonies. 

Moreover, the Universal Law of Vibration facilitates a deeper understanding of interconnectedness. Every thought, emotion, and action you experience emits a unique frequency that influences your energetic field and, consequently, the collective vibration of the Universe. Therefore, as you elevate your frequency through ascension practices, you contribute to the overall elevation of universal consciousness.

Isn’t that incredible?

Understanding that ascension is an ongoing process anchored in the Universal Law of Vibration empowers you to participate actively in your spiritual evolution. It’s a multi-dimensional journey that moves you closer to your spiritual goals and higher realms of connection. Let’s layer this up with the more popular Law of Attraction.

The Key to Living the Law of Attraction

The LOA, or Law of Attraction, is the belief that positive or negative thoughts attract positive or negative experiences into a person’s life. This goes for situations, belongings, careers, family… you name it; you can “manifest” it by studying this Universal Law and putting it into practice. To harness the power of the Law of Attraction effectively, you first need to align your vibration with the energy of what you wish to manifest. This is where spiritual ascension plays a vital role. 

During the ascension process, you’re elevating your vibrational frequency. This happens by shedding old limiting beliefs around lack and fear and cultivating thoughts and emotions that resonate at a higher frequency, such as love, gratitude, and inner peace. As you raise your vibration, you naturally attract experiences and opportunities in harmony with this elevated state. 

When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
– Lao Tzu

Benefits of Spiritual Ascension

The Inner Transformation

Spiritual ascension isn’t just about reaching higher consciousness and inner transformation. It involves an ongoing process of personal growth and aligning with the pure, divine source of energy within you. By tapping into this higher vibrational energy, you can more effectively align with the Law of Attraction as your inner world changes to reflect the divine truths and potentials it unveils. 

Amplify Your Manifestation

Imagine yourself as a magnet; the higher your vibration, the more positively charged and potent your “magnet” becomes. This means that your desires, imbued with positive energy and clear intent, are more likely to manifest in your physical reality. Simply put, ascension helps you become a better conductor of the Law of Attraction, amplifying your ability to draw in what you need for a fulfilling and meaningful life.  You align with your Truth, the Flow of the Universe, and your Higher Purpose.

Understanding The Different Stages Of Spiritual Ascension

The journey of spiritual ascension is often described as a multi-faceted process encompassing several stages. Each stage represents a crucial step in your path to a higher state of being and spiritual enlightenment. Here’s a closer look at these pivotal phases: 

1. Awakening: This is the initial stage where you begin to sense that there’s more to life than the physical world. It’s a time of growing awareness and curiosity as you question your existence and seek more profound meaning. You may experience synchronicities, a heightened sense of intuition, or a sudden urge to meditate and connect with your inner self. 

You’re being called.

3. Letting Go Of Old Patterns: This stage is about breaking free from societal conditioning and ego-driven behaviors. It’s about rediscovering your authentic self and aligning more closely with your values and desires. This stage requires a conscious effort to change outdated habits and thought patterns that hinder your spiritual growth. 

Perhaps you experienced a trauma in early life. Has this trauma overtaken the way you live your life, make decisions, or how comfortable you are in social situations? Maybe you hold a past pain or illness so dear you’ve created a fixed life “Role” around it, “I’m a Cancer Survivor,” “I was abused,” or “I’m poor.” We can easily lump self-sabotaging techniques (these get tricky!) and coping mechanisms here too. 

Simply put, you’re becoming mentally aware and doing something about it.

2. Cleansing: Following your awakening, the cleansing stage is about purging negative energies, emotions, and old patterns that no longer serve you. It’s akin to a detox for your soul, helping you release past traumas and limiting beliefs. This stage can be challenging, as it often involves facing unresolved emotions and letting go of attachments, whether they be physical objects, friends or family, locations you reside, and emotions. This is the stage of entering into true Self-Love – where you begin living your Truth, your Purpose and uncovering your Destiny.

4. Re-Birth: You undergo a rebirth as you shed old layers. In this transformative stage, you begin to embody your new, higher aspects. A renewed sense of purpose, inner peace, and a closer connection to your spiritual essence mark it. You feel more aligned with your soul’s mission and more attuned to the universe’s energy. 

The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love.
– Marianne Williamson

Understanding these stages can help you navigate your spiritual ascension with greater clarity and compassion. Remember, each individual’s journey is unique, and it’s crucial to honor your own pace and experiences.

How To Prepare Yourself For The Ascension Process

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
– Rumi

Preparing for spiritual ascension often begins with a deep and sincere intention to grow spiritually. It’s about understanding the concept and embodying the change within yourself.

The most important lesson to remember while you see your ascension, goals, and manifestations in the “future” is that your existence here on earth isn’t to get the things you wish for. It’s about the journey to get there. It’s about the wisdom you’ll uncover and the adventures you’ll live. Keep an eye on the prize, but remember the most important part is being here, right now, in the present, and making every moment better than the last.

Here are some practical steps you can take while you’re at the beginning of a journey: 

• Meditation: Regular meditation helps quiet the mind and connect you with your inner self. It’s a practice that aligns your thoughts and emotions, paving the way for higher consciousness.
• Self-Reflection: Reflect on your beliefs, values, and past experiences. This will help you identify patterns that no longer serve you and need to be released.
• Mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness into your everyday activities. This means being fully present in the moment, heightening your awareness and spiritual sensitivity.
• Energy Healing: Practices like Reiki, chakra balancing, and other forms of energy work can help cleanse and harmonize your bio-energetic field, promoting smooth ascension.
• Positive Lifestyle Choices: Engage in activities that nurture your body, mind, and spirit. This includes eating healthily, exercising, and surrounding yourself with positive influences.
• Shadow Work: This is a great mental tool to help dig in and uncover past “darkness” that is holding you back. Accumulate a few shadow work tools to help you manage and clean up your past, bringing it into light and allowing you to love yourself again. Check out the Shadow Work Course in the Beyond membership, and my book on the subject, both coming soon!
• Mindset Shifts: Perspective is a fabulous way to engage in daily problems and issues. We can zoom in, zoom out, around, under, over, make it as small as a speck of dust or as big as a tornado. Practicing this allows us to see that problems aren’t negative, they’re simply neutral.
• Reading Spiritual Texts: Educate yourself by reading books or articles on spirituality. Understanding is a crucial part of transformation and growth. My current favorites are: A Course in Miracles, Jesus My Autobiography, and The Law of Agreement.
• Detoxify Your Mind and Environment: Detoxification isn’t limited to just the physical body. Rid your mind of negative thought patterns and surround yourself with a positive environment. This might mean decluttering your space, spending time in nature, or distancing yourself from toxic relationships.
• Connect with Your Spiritual Guides:  Many people find strength and guidance through connecting with their spiritual guides or higher entities. Invoking their guidance can provide support and reassurance during your ascension process. 
• Seek Guidance: Don’t hesitate to seek guidance from spiritual mentors or communities. They can offer support and insights that can enhance your journey. Like our membership!

The journey of ascension is deeply personal and unique to each individual. By making these preparations, you’re setting a solid foundation to embark on your path with clarity and purpose. Remember, it’s a process that unfolds over time, so be patient with yourself and trust in the journey.

Common Challenges During Spiritual Ascension And How To Overcome Them

Embarking on the path of spiritual ascension can be exhilarating, but it comes with its share of challenges. As you ascend to higher levels of consciousness, you might encounter obstacles that test your resolve, patience, and understanding. 

Emotional Overwhelm 

It’s not uncommon to feel an intense surge of emotions during your spiritual ascension journey. This emotional overwhelm can leave you feeling disoriented and exhausted. The key to managing these emotions is to embrace them fully, allowing yourself to feel without judgment. Journaling, therapy, and talking with trusted friends can be incredibly helpful in processing these emotions. 

Physical Symptoms 

As your body adjusts to higher energy frequencies, you may experience various physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, body aches, and really any physical symptom that allows old toxic energy to release. During my first round of this in 2001 I had thousands of dark purple dots form on my skin. So many they almost started mingling together – I looked like Barney. Doctors had me displayed on a table, bright lights surrounging me and they all had cameras in hand. It was incredibly blissful (note the sarcasm.) Also note none of them had an answer. Because “Science” and “Medicine” didn’t agree back then with the possibility of a Herxheimer Reaction, especially when removing mental and emotional toxicity.

Listen to your body and prioritize self-care practices, such as adequate rest, hydration, and a balanced diet. Gentle exercises like yoga or tai chi can also help alleviate some of these symptoms. Remember this is just a phase. Every moment of this discomfort is one moment closer to it’s end.

Relationship Strain 

During your ascension journey, you might notice a shift in your relationships. Some people may not understand your transformation, causing strain or even alienation. Open communication is vital here. Explain your journey to your loved ones and be patient with their reactions. If they present negatively to your spiritual shift, remember they may simply have fear around who you’ll become and what will happen to them as well. Fear of the unknown is a real thing for most people.

Surround yourself with a supportive community that aligns with your spiritual goals, and keep the communication flowing.

Self-Doubt and Fear 

Encountering self-doubt and fear is common as you venture into the unknown realms of spiritual growth. These feelings can hinder your progress if left unchecked. Counter these challenges by practicing affirmations and I Am statements, seeking guidance from spiritual mentors, and engaging in meditative practices to reinforce your inner strength and confidence. 

One of the best ways to step into self-confidence and your inner power is to become part of a community and begin talking about your experiences. You’ll find others are very interested. Those who are just beginning their journey will find your story fascinating, wise, and they’ll ask for more – which feels awesome!

The Dark Night of the Soul 

The “Dark Night of the Soul” is a profound phase where you may feel isolated, lost, and spiritually tested. This period is often a prelude to significant spiritual breakthroughs and is characterized by deep introspection and transformation. Embrace this phase as an opportunity for growth. Reach out for support from spirit guides and focus on practices that nurture your soul. 

Remember, every challenge you face is part of your ascension process, helping you to evolve into a more enlightened being. With time, patience, and persistence, you’ll navigate these obstacles and continue to ascend to new spiritual heights.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.
– Caroline Myss

The Importance Of Community Support In Your Ascension Journey

Embarking on a spiritual ascension journey can be both exhilarating and challenging. Community support plays a pivotal role in this profound transformation. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who share your quest for spiritual growth can provide invaluable encouragement, insights, and shared experiences. 

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

When you connect with a supportive community, you benefit from collective wisdom. You can exchange ideas, seek guidance, and often find the reassurance that you are not alone in your journey. Being part of a communal network allows you to celebrate milestones and navigate obstacles with a sense of belonging and solidarity.
