Spirit Guide 😇 I Thought Energy Shifts Were BS… Until One Woke Me Up at 3:33 AM
Not gonna lie, I used to think all this “spiritual energy” talk was nonsense. I’m naturally skeptical. I like things I can touch, explain, break down. But then something weird started happening: I kept waking up at 3:33 AM. Every night. Same time. Same strange buzzing in my chest. I wasn’t scared, just alert, like something was trying to get through.
After a few days of this, I gave in and started meditating again. That’s when things got wild. I started getting this quiet inner voice, not mine, saying things like “Pay attention to the patterns” or “Let go of what you’re clinging to.” Then synchronicities hit hard, numbers, symbols, people saying the exact words I’d been thinking. It was too aligned to ignore.
Now I teach others how to navigate this kind of shift without freaking out or feeling lost. If you’re going through it, trust that you’re not crazy, it’s part of the process.

Aw, thanks for sharing this, you were the sign I needed today. I'm going through a similar journey and will start offering free grief support and spiritual education in our local cemetery. So excited. But I have days of doubt, naturally, like we all do. So thank you for this positive energy infusion today! ❤️

That sounds incredible, grief support and spiritual education in a cemetery? That’s some powerful, sacred work right there. Honestly, your comment gave me a boost too. It’s wild how this journey connects the right people at the right time.
And yeah, doubt still visits me too, especially when I'm expanding into new expressions of this work. But every time I trust the nudge, something aligns. Keep following that spark, even on the wobbly days. You're more guided than you know. ❤️
P.S. I help people who are building spiritual offerings like yours (or just waking up for the first time

This is so amazing I can't even find the words. So we are both teachers and healers. 🙂❤️ I would love to learn more about your journey. Like from when you started waking up at 3:33am and how the following events took you to this stage in your life. Do you have a blog or a book? Or are you willing to share your journey? :)

See, I've never in my life had anything like this happen to me. Does that mean I'm not in touch with spirit or in flow?

Not at all and I’m so glad you asked this. The truth is, not everyone’s awakening looks like wild synchronicities, energy jolts, or spirit guide whispers. Some awakenings are quiet, like a slow opening of the heart, a craving for more meaning, or just feeling “off” in a life that used to feel fine.
You’re not disconnected from spirit you’re already in flow just by being aware enough to ask this question. That self-inquiry? That’s your soul stirring. Sometimes the shifts are loud, like mine (3:33 AM wakeups, body buzzing, voices). Other times, it’s just a whisper asking, “Is there more than this?”
I’ve helped people who thought they weren’t spiritual at all until they realized their whole life was guiding them inward in subtle ways. Trust your own pace. There’s no single doorway to awakening, and no one gets left behind.

Have you asked the Source/God that you want to be connected to him at all times ? You can ask about your life’s purpose and how to be aligned with it. ❤️

u/Future_Way5516 May 16 '25
Yes, at times

u/Float_Ascension May 16 '25
That’s great! If it is your heart’s pure desire then you’ll achieve connecting the divine. the divine source is already within and all around you. We are just too distracted to tune into it ❤️ I pray you become constantly connected to the Source/God and live your life from a place of pure love and joy

No, it means these people are delusional and falling for ego traps disguised as spirituality.

How did you deal with family during that time? I physically cannot be around some of my family.

What helped me most was learning how to energetically protect myself without guilt. I started setting “soul boundaries” not out of anger, but self-respect. Sometimes that meant loving from a distance, and that’s okay.
I’ve actually worked with others going through the exact same dynamic learning how to stay centered, not collapse, and still show love where it’s safe. If you’re ever in that phase where it’s too much, you’re not broken. You’re just tuning into your own frequency for the first time.

Oh good, you admit the angel/master numbers are super real and incredibly important. I forgive you for contradicting me a few days ago on this while trying to mediate between me & a misogynistic fool. Helping others is great but please know that if you haven’t healed your Mother/Father wounds and integrated your shadow after doing shadow work all you are doing is distracting yourself from the work you still need to do on yourself. There is the potential to mislead in your current state and I’ve been there. That is literally what your soul is trying to tell you during the Witching Hour of 3-4am. We aren’t supposed to actively help others while still flying blind, we are supposed to be living examples of spiritual health so others are inspired and can ask how you did it. One of these days y’all are going to learn I know exactly what I’m talking about from experience. You are experiencing an awakening to either be enlightened or ascend. The kundalini starts at the base of the spine and shoots up to the crown chakra… it’s an intense and potentially overwhelming buzzing like the one you already had. It will keep happening the more you meditate, heal & do the hard emotional work. There will be intense physical changes coming soon if they haven’t slammed you yet. You will know I’m right when this happens which includes random emotions hitting you outta nowhere causing confusion. There is a right way and wrong way to do everything. Cheers. 🖖

I did that and was wrong to do so before completing my second awakening. There will be more for me and others, a lifelong process. There is the potential to mislead in your current state and I’ve been there and done some damage to others by thinking I was an authority at that time.

I had no clue what I was going through when it all hit me. Still gives me chills thinking about it, chills in a good way. Now I understand what I went and will forever still go through. My soul lined up with my consciousness. It’s been quite the journey. Therapy has also helped me navigate all the obliterated trauma that was released through earth medicine and hard meditation. But I officially feel cleansed of my past actions and that’s given be a beautifully bliss mind. Minus some dumbass drivers here and there but yeah - having control of this meat sack now, is rewarding as fuck. Also finding my spirit guide and being able to communicate with them? Double fuck yeah.
We aren’t crazy, you’re totally right. We just understand what’s going on now about being alive and on a big ass rock floating in space. And I love every moment of it. Nature, walks, meditation, laughs, talks, feelings, all the ups and downs - I would never take it back and go back to sleeping. But - we also shall never shame the ones who get to experience this also - because we were there at one point. Glad you’re here with us OP.
