The Challenge of Awakening

Just the Beginning

Awakening can be immediate and also a prolonged process. For some it is a spark of light in the midst of a crisis or deep pain and others it is a gradual clarity in consciousness that revives us from a long deep sleep.

We are opened to a new world within us and it is both exciting and healing at the same time. We hope it will last, but in most cases it fades from a spark of light into a distant memory. Some may feel it has abandoned them altogether. It is normal to want to hold onto something so wonderful, especially after a period of pain, fear or depression.
