Embodied Spiritual Awakening: 5 Signs Your Energy Is Expanding (And It’s Only Getting Juicier)
Something within you has been shifting.
You can feel it…
In your choices.
In your bones.
In the way you respond to triggers and challenges.
It’s like there’s a quiet revolution happening inside. (And it kinda feels good.)
It’s not super obvious to the outside world.
But deep down, you know your energy is shifting.
Your heart is opening.
Your capacity is expanding on all levels — mental, somatic, energetic.
It’s not just spiritual awakening—it’s embodied expansion.
And that means it moves through your breath, your emotions, your body’s subtle cues, your nervous system state.
In my own journey, and in the radiant, messy, powerful transformations I witness in the women I work with — there are certain recurring signs that I notice bubble up when someone is going through a massive holistic expansion.
Here are 5 of the most common (and deliciously telling) ones:
1. You feel more open in your front body + heart.
Your chest, shoulders, and throat feel soft. Spacious.
Like they’re melting open to something new.
Old tension is dissolving. Resistance is thawing.
You find yourself welcoming new ideas and perspectives with curiosity, with an open mind + heart instead of fear.
You’re not guarding your energy the way you used to—because you don’t need to.
Your system trusts what’s unfolding. You trust yourself deeply.
And there’s an undeniable tenderness blooming inside.
👉 PRACTICE CUE:
Feel into it. Place your hand over your heart or chest. Breathe in slowly. Exhale softly. Let that openness speak to you.
What does she want you to know?
2. You get sudden bursts of creative, fizzy energy throughout the day.
Like warm little sparks lighting up in your body.
Ideas download. Inspiration landing out of nowhere.
You're not even trying.
Your capacity is expanding—channeling more wisdom, more sensual + creative aliveness, more soul, more of you.
And even when you’re resting or pausing, something potent is animating inside.
👉 PRACTICE CUE:
Next time you feel a burst of inspiration, give it space, let it move through your body. Dance with it, hum it or speak it out loud, jot it down on a page, record it on a voice note, share it with someone. Allow yourself to fully experience it and receive its wisdom.
3. You’re riding emotional waves with more grace and compassion.
You’re not numbing, avoiding, or trying to fix yourself.
You’re feeling it.
You’re letting your feelings move and be alchemised. So they turn into gold.
Each wave feels like a deep dive — not a drowning. And it fuels you with richer understanding, deeper trust and renewed confidence.
You emerge with more clarity and compassion than ever before.
👉 PRACTICE CUE:
Notice what sensations arise in your body when you move through emotions from this depth and quality of presence.

4. You crave space and sacred, quiet moments to yourself.
You find yourself lingering in silence and slowing down.
You’re naturally disengaging from spaces and conversations that no longer quite ‘click’ for you, because they’re out of tune with where you’re headed.
Your body is integrating old and new lessons, baking magic pies of wisdom and creative energy soon to be served and enjoyed.
And your nervous system is asking for soft, fertile ground to process all the newness unfolding.
👉 PRACTICE CUE:
Let yourself retreat. Even for a few minutes. Make it a ritual and make it delicious. Light up a candle, spray some lavender mist, stand barefoot, or lie on the ground, or slow dance to a juicy tune. Let that wisdom bake. Let the magic settle.
5. You feel old patterns pulling—but you come back to your center more easily and steadily.
Triggers still arise.
Old behaviors and familiar patterns might still knock at your door.
But you don’t react like before.
You catch it. You pause, and respond with awareness.
Your capacity to come back to your center, back to the version of you that you’re becoming, is stronger than ever.
👉 PRACTICE CUE:
Journal prompts:
What am I no longer carrying forward?
What am I calling in?
Big shifts don’t always come with the fireworks.
Sometimes they come with tears, or a quiet peace you can’t quite explain.
If you’re experiencing any of this…
Take a breath.
Know that your energy is expanding.
Trust that your genius nature knows how to handle this transition.
She knows how to make space for what’s unfolding.
Your spirit is anchoring deeper into your body.
And it’s only getting juicier from here.
Place your hands on your belly or heart.
Repeat to yourself:
“It’s safe to take up space. I’m expanding. I’m thriving.”
