Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have very recently had a kind of spiritual awakening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I guess I still don\u2019t know what is happening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am 24 and for the past 12 months have had very strong urges to try and expand my consciousness, meditate, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0I have only had one odd experience while meditating where I felt like I was spinning in a gyroscope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I keep asking for guidance and a reply or vision or some sort of communication from someone at a higher frequency like a spirit guide or archangel I guess is who I\u2019m reaching out to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But I have had no such luck.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am beginning to become discouraged (which will still never stop me from trying) but I feel as though I am blind or deaf spiritually.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel lost and there is this unbearable desire or more like a pressure in my chest that is obsessing over this but I just don\u2019t know what to do!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I need help and I don\u2019t know where to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0I come from a small town in Kansas and had never heard of anything like this until I started having these urges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know what is happening?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your strong urge to expand your consciousness is laudable and the growth of self-awareness is also a natural consequence of human spiritual evolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You said you are meditating, but are not satisfied with your experiences and guidance thus far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are meditating regularly, you are doing fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What may be causing you frustration is your ideas and expectations of what spiritual growth is supposed to look like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You may think that effective meditation is having celestial experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And you may be imagining that spiritual guidance means you are having visions of angels and receiving messages from spirit guides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Real spiritual growth is actually quite simple and ordinary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, your true self is simply the presence of your silent awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just the \u201cI\u201d in you beneath everything else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The expansion of awareness is not a physical or mental experience or feeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those things may or may not accompany the experience of self-awareness depending on what conditioning or limitations in the mind and body need to be cleared out at the time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So continue meditating regularly without expectations or ideas of what you think it is supposed to be like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In time your practice leads to the expansion of awareness as inexorably as the sunrise in the morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
