Ascension Signs & Symptoms
not all of these symptoms may be due to the ascension process. Please follow your own inner guidance and consult a health care professional as needed. If you are experiencing a majority of these symptoms it is a good indication that you are experiencing the ascension process more fully or at an accelerated rate. For treating ascension symptoms, more holistic healing methods and natural remedies are always encouraged alongside any other necessary treatment and for overall long term health and healing benefits.
Please use discernment but remain as much as possible in a state of peace and positivity, and trust your inner guidance by not allowing yourself to enter into fear or obsessive worry; relax and allow the experience with understanding and acceptance, and the symptom may disappear on its own. If one chooses to go into fear or repeating thoughts about 'worse case scenario' about a symptom on a '3d' level of thinking, then they so shall it be, and that very 3D condition may manifest. You have a choice.
Ascension Symptoms and Their Causes
Ascension symptoms happen on a physical, mental, and emotional level. There is a lot going on inside of you. Spiritually, it is about energy and consciousness. and much is happening on the mind-body-spirit level of being as a whole. Your system is rebooting, being 'tuned up' or upgraded. Your mental, emotional and physical bodies are detoxifying. Old patterns start to fall away as one starts to embody much more light. The ascension related energies that we experience may come from a number of sources. There are various reasons why ascension symptoms occur and the purpose for Ascension. As one moves through the Ascension process there are periods where the energy and symptoms may become much more intense for several days or weeks at a time; then there are those periods where symptoms will cease altogether or completely change or shift in intensity. The process is different for everyone and can vary according to one's individual degree of awareness, personal vibration, spiritual practice and purpose on the planet.
