The Day My Spiritual Awakening Journey Began

I was just 14 years old, starting my freshman year of high school, when my adopted grandmother invited me to take my first metaphysical course: Esoteric Healing Level One. It was 2009, and the class was held in a quiet hotel conference room in Sarasota, Florida. I had no idea that those 4½ days would change the course of my life. I was on a spiritual awakening journey.

At the time, I thought I was “getting old” (oh, the irony!). Now, at 30, I look back and see just how young and open hearted I was, ready to receive something far beyond what my peers were even aware of.

Learning Energy Healing as a Teenager

The class was filled with old souls, most of them over 40, many of them doctors, nurses, and holistic practitioners. I was the only teenager in the room. And yet, I felt completely at home.

We studied the human energy field, chakra centers, reincarnation, and the foundational teachings of Alice Bailey. It was deep, rich, and a spiritual awakening journey. And the best part? My grandmother was the one teaching it. That experience shifted our relationship from family to friendship. We could now speak the same spiritual language.

“When you connect to your soul, you remember who you are.”

The Loneliness That Followed My Spiritual Awakening Journey

After the class ended, I returned to school, and that’s when the emotional weight hit me. I felt completely alone. None of my friends understood what I had just experienced. They weren’t interested in metaphysics or energy healing. Even my family at home didn’t quite get it.

I entered a quiet depression that I didn’t even tell my grandmother about until years later. I had just undergone a profound transformation, but I had no one to talk to about it. That kind of isolation can be heartbreaking when your soul is waking up.

Why Community Matters on the Spiritual Path

If you’ve ever felt like the spiritual black sheep of your family or friend group, I see you. I was you. And I want you to know this:

“You are not alone.”

When we go through a spiritual awakening or take a leap into energy healing, it’s essential to have a community that sees you, supports you, and speaks your language. If your current circle doesn’t resonate with your vibration, it’s okay to seek out new connections. Your soul family is out there and they’re looking for you too.

“Your soul is always speaking, it’s just waiting for you to listen.”

Realigning with Your Soul Family

Sometimes, transformation clears the path for new alignment. That first esoteric healing class didn’t just teach me about energy, it helped me align with my soul’s purpose. And over time, it led me to the people who truly got me.

If you’re in a season of change, trust that your soul family is being magnetized to you. Whether they’re already in your life or waiting just around the corner, they’re coming. Keep showing up as your authentic self, and they will find you.
