Awakening is seeing past the experience to the core of you, to see you not only as a beautiful human but the divine, strong energy that has always been there within you. To come back to love of self and start seeing the bigger picture of the human experience. Once this starts happening, there really is no return. Life starts to shift in front of you because, in time, you see that your beautiful, eternal soul chose these exact experiences to wake you up. To bring you home to yourself. I don’t say this in a religious context, I say this from an energetic perspective. The pure energy of your soul/higher self was there with you the whole time. We were just so busy thinking, we forgot to listen!
