The Reason Your Spiritual Awakening Makes You Feel Alone
How You Truly Heal From the Abandonment and Rejection Wound
A spiritual awakening is a profound shift in consciousness that changes your perspective on life, the universe, and your place in it. As you begin to see through “the veil of illusion” or awaken to a deeper reality, it’s natural to feel like your “old life”, relationships, and ways of being no longer fit.
You may find yourself spending more time alone, reflecting on your journey and integrating what you learned along the way.
This solitude is a crucial part of the awakening process, allowing you to get in touch with your authentic self and soul’s purpose. Yet it’s common to feel a sense of loneliness or isolation as you realize that many of the people in your life don’t understand what you’re going through.
Friends and family may think you’ve gone off the deep end as you question everything and feel called to make big changes.
But are you ever truly alone on this journey?
The answer is a resounding no. You are connected to the web of consciousness that permeates all of existence.
The masters and mystics have long taught that separation is an illusion — at the deepest level, we are all one.
So why does the path of awakening seem to be such a solitary one?
It’s because you are breaking free from the conditioning, beliefs and attachments that have kept you trapped in a limited sense of self.
This process of ego dissolution can be disorienting and painful, like a snake shedding its skin. There may be periods where you feel untethered, not sure of who you are anymore.
I am still in this phase from time to time. Feeling like I do not belong anywhere with an additional loss of orientation.

This is where the core wound of abandonment and rejection can surface, as your ego clings to the old identities and relationships that defined you.
You may feel betrayed or misunderstood by those who can’t meet you in your expansion. Childhood fears of not belonging or being good enough arise to be felt and released.
But trust that you will be guided to people communities that resonate with your awareness as you anchor more fully into your “aligned”self.
The path may seem lonely at times, but you are simply being emptied out to be filled with the light of your true self.
Reach out for support when you need it. Know that it will get better again. New connections will come and go. Relax, focus on your growth in this time instead of trying to cling to something you know may be ready to be let go of.
