Spiritual Awakening vs Personal Growth: How to Know When You’re Ready

There comes a moment when personal growth starts to feel like another task. The work keeps unfolding, but it never seems to stop. Insights keep arriving, but they don’t feel like they land or really transform anything - not deep down in any case.

The energy is there, but it doesn’t settle. It’s sort of scattered and in the end, you’re still exactly where you were before the insights, before the energy shift.

That’s often the signal that something deeper is ready to emerge. It’s the signal to really double down.

This week’s blog explores that shift: it’s all about that moment transformation becomes quieter, fuller, and more embodied. Something that no longer needs to be explained, pondered or ruminated on. Something that just needs to be lived.

It’s time to move beyond ‘doing’. You’ve probably done enough of that, so now it’s time to make some space to integrate and reshape how life will move through you.

🌿 What Real Integration Looks Like

One of the most common themes that emerges inside The Abundant Self is the tension between knowing and becoming. Knowing is the easy part (you can read a book, attend a class), but becoming requires dedication to yourself and your own development, and that takes courage.

Clarity or insight often arrives before embodiment. The nervous system doesn’t have insights though and can’t catch up so quickly. So nervous system reprogramming needs to take place and that takes time. Until that happens, nothing truly sticks, at least not without tremendous conscious effort.

This programme is built to close that gap.

We slow down.
We listen inward.
We regulate the nervous system so there’s room for spiritual intelligence to arise naturally, not as effort, but quietly in stillness.

When that happens, it’s no longer about growth. It’s more about arrival and deep transformation.

🌕 Final Word

Eventually, the work stops being about becoming someone else. It becomes an understanding of your core, true self who’s been there all along, and then giving that part of you permission to lead.

That’s when things stop spinning. That’s when things begin to land and life transforms powerfully.
