The Purpose of Anxiety During Spiritual Awakening (and how to ease it)
For me, spiritual awakening anxiety was by far one of the worst symptoms. I know how truly awful it can feel, and how urgently it needs to be soothed – so with that in mind, lets not waste any time. Before we even begin getting into the nitty gritty of this article, particularly if you are reading this racked with that fearful all encompassing feeling of anxiety right now, I want you to know 3 key things:
Anxiety is a NATURAL part of the awakening process (it may be natural, but its not actually necessary)
The anxiety that you’re feeling absolutely WILL PASS and
Its actually a sign that you’re right on track
In order for you to understand why, lets first take a look at what happens during the actual awakening process so that we can understand this better.
The Spiritual Awakening Process (simplified)
- At a predetermined time, a large amount of energy floods your system.
- This influx opens and intensifies your psychic centers.
- Emotional centers are activated, bringing emotions to the surface for healing.
Why Is Anxiety A Natural Part Of Spiritual Awakening?
Spiritual awakening anxiety is natural because when those large quotients of energy begin to flood our system, our energy bodies are highly charged. Think of it like leaving a charger in the electrical socket too long. We get charged so much that we’re practically buzzing, and there’s nowhere for that excess energy to go. Now, it has good purpose – it awakens us, and it opens us up to heal our emotions and reconnect with source through our psychic senses – however, it is not necessary for you to feel anxious in order to awaken. Its really important that you grasp this, so I’ll say it again.
It is not necessary for you to feel anxious in order to awaken.
However, our bodies have likely never experienced a volume or intensity of energy like this, ever. It often perceives it to be anxiety when really, its just energy – we’re just super charged – and our bodies simply don’t have enough physical density to be able to balance it out or to anchor us to the earth.
It feels like anxiety, but really, it is just energy.
The good news is, that if we can anchor that energy to the earth, and hold enough physical density in our bodies to absorb it, the energy can be balanced, and the anxiety can be released. We do that with grounding.
Don’t worry, I’ve created a FREE masterclass, ‘From Anxious To Awakened In 3 Easy Steps’ to help you ground yourself specifically during spiritual awakening, as many traditional techniques just aren’t effective for us, but more on that in a minute. There are more benefits to boot from grounding your awakening than just releasing anxiety; it will also lessen emotional intensity, bring more control and stability to your awakening and release doubt and confusion by helping your brain to rationalize and understand the experience. Its absolutely vital, and a large part of your awakening journey will be focused on learning how to straddle both the spiritual and physical worlds in a balanced way. We’re learning to become the bridge that unifies both heaven and earth.
What Is The Purpose Of Spiritual Awakening Anxiety?
If you’re stuck in a cycle of constant anxiety during awakening, I understand how painful that is. But often, this state is followed by something amazing. The swing from being super-charged to grounded often triggers mini-enlightenments. Grounding helps you gain clarity, epiphanies, and deep realizations. It’s the missing piece that allows integration of spiritual wisdom.
Our 7 day energy healing course, ’Grounded Awakenings’ can help with this.
At first, I didn’t understand the importance of grounding. I’d wake up anxious, with a tight chest and racing thoughts. I’d spend the day trying to find a cause for the anxiety, but nothing made sense—until I meditated at night. That’s when the breakthroughs came. I’d receive visions, connect with guides, or discover new truths. It often happened on my most anxious days. Those moments turned out to be the most transformative.
Am I Miles Off Track?
Absolutely not. I’m not saying you need anxiety for spiritual growth. But it does mean you’re being:
- Charged with energy
- Heightened energetically
- Opened psychically and spiritually
All of this is divinely orchestrated. You’re safe. The experience is part of your soul’s path. You’re not off track—you’re exactly where you need to be.
You’re right on track.
How Can I Ground My Energies?
To make the most of heightened spiritual experiences, you must ground. Without grounding, you may not even realize you’ve had a breakthrough or gained wisdom. If you’re ungrounded, you can’t channel that higher energy into the physical world. And that’s the whole point—manifesting spiritual insight through physical presence. Maybe your purpose is to teach, share, heal, or simply smile at a stranger and pass that energy along. No matter the mission, you are the bridge between spiritual and physical. It’s time to ground and take action.

I’m told I’m am empath all my life. Anxiety stared in my 20s could it be that’s why??
Hi Josie, definitely, empathic abilities can cause us added anxiety – especially if we are tuning into those who are stressed around us x
i get anxiety attacks when i spot a liar, i get anxiety attacks when i get flashes of something is about to happen.
Went through the anxiety stage for about a month, then thought I had vertigo, I get anxious around nearly everybody now, people think i’m crazy, I feel like I can read the bible and decipher most verses, best way I can explain it is it feels like a superpower…
I awoke last year and do mostly feel grounded but would like to learn more
You’ve come to the right place Lindsay!
With my mind wide open I have been looking for a way to get to the awakening point where I can be at peace with myself and grounded spiritually with my surroundings and be at a peaceful place with my eyes wide open and my heart opened up to myself and my family and all those who are with me in this journey of healing .
Hi Penny, you’ll get there. We need deep healing and resolution of these old wounds from past lives. You’ll continue to grow and develop a more peaceful and open manner in your life naturally 🙂
How do you know you are not going crazy or its your ego?
Looking 4 ward 2 working with this material.
Thanks Chuck, glad to have you with us!
I feel like I am going mad
Please help me
Bless Lindsay, I know how awful this can feel, and if it helps I too felt that I was going mad as I moved through the journey. Its mainly because we unearth so much old pain and feelings and issues from past life times – when they all come up at once it can make us feel crazy because there is no seeming explanation for this. Focus on grounding (use the free 5 day course if you haven’t already) – grounding will definitely help to calm things and bring clarity and a sense of sanity x
My anxiety was so intense I was just hoping it was part of an awakening, it passed after weeks, but I do need grounding
Glad to hear it has passed Jackie – grounding will absolutely help with this, and is a worthwhile skill to have for any future occurrences of anxiety you might have x
So insightful and totally helpful thought for a second i was losing my mind
Thanks you Jessy – its a common feeling, many of us fear that we have gone mad during this process. Its all healing. Glad it helped x
This is so helpful for anyone being on this journey
Thank you Ann so glad to know you found it helpful 🙂
are u havin despair,like u arent in your body, i am soo scary,should i do something,or is proces of spiritual awakening that goes by itself,its veryy uncomfortable
True, I feel the same past three years ..scary feeling, like being covered up in a veil.do u have physical symptoms too
What if I can’t focus to take actions?
Hi Ehab, if you can’t focus to take action that is a sign that you are too ungrounded. Check out our free 5 day course – it will teach you everything you need to know in order to effectively ground yourself. Once you do, focused action will be MUCH easier.
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m floating…I feel like I’m on drugs because I feel like I’m seeing things through a complete altered state but I’m not…sometimes it feels like the ground is moving while I’m walking on it and my head is floating…I’m not sure what it is anymore but its come on suddenly. I’ve had anxiety all my adult life but this is next level…
Im so glad i saw this i would love to know more about awakening process. Iv learned so much.
Thank you Rachel, glad to have you here with us, and looking forward to sharing more! x
God words!
🙂 xx
I too feel like I am going mad. Anxiety. Dreams. Surreal feelings. I drink to supress being overwhelmed.
I need help. Its so strong.
I want to be abke to stop trying to numb or suppress it. But I dont know how been doing it for so long.
Hi Dakota, it will take time to undo these old ingrained programs, but I would strongly encourage you to focus on grounding every single day, and throughout the day too (if you haven’t already done the free 5 day course, this will tell you everything you need to know to get started). Grounding will soothe anxiety, calm those issues coming up and therefore bring back clarity, a sense of sanity and more calm. Sending lots of love to you, you’ll get there! x
I’m in the boat. Crazy dreams every single night, drunk or sober. For awhile they were always on the negative side, nightmares or worse. Lately they seem to be easing up. I thanked God to wake up one morning after a “lax” dream. So refreshing not waking up in a cold sweat after witnessing a meteor destroy the whole planet, lol. Any thoughts? Finally getting over the hump?
Hi Benny, glad these experiences seem to be easing now. I would advise you to get into some form of healing or clearing these emotions – when we don’t have a release they tend to enter our dreams to help us to process them, but its not much fun. We’ve just launched a new free course that might be helpful to you in doing that: https://spiritualawakeningsigns.com/
I have always been a very empathetic, honest and open person. For the past few months my anxiety levels have been extreme. It feels like I am going out of my mind, the most crazy things have been happening. I just can’t cope with all the rubbish any more.
Bless you Mike, I know how awful that can be. Try to focus on the grounding in the course, as it will make the most difference to you. Usually grounding can combat most of the anxiety and calm the empathy down to more normal levels too. Sending much love to you x
Thank you Kelly for sharing this with us this really explained a lot about what started to happen to me about four years ago . It was like no anxiety I had ever experienced before I could feel every nerve ending in my body and I could see my chakras. I looked at my pupil in the eyes in the mirror and I could see the universe, space. I was so freaked out that I ended up having to go on an anxiety medication which calmed me down but it’s not easy for me to get in touch with my psychic abilities now.
Hi Alexandra, that sounds awful, I can totally relate. Anxiety was by far my worst symptom too. Medication can get in the way, but sometimes our soul gives us a break from it too if we’re getting too charged and ungrounded. Focus on grounding for now and you should see a marked improvement in not only anxiety but in being able to access your psychic abilities too! x
Hi Kelly
A dear friend just shared your videos with me and I’ve watched day one and will be doing the homework. I’m wondering if you or others have experienced pain with your anxiety attacks, specifically chest pain that feels like a heart attack. I’m really hoping moving everything out will help with this.
Hi Traci, delighted to hear that you’re doing the homework – this will make a considerable difference to your experience – well done! Its not unheard of. I’d advise to really focus on the grounding techniques listed in the free course. If it is relieved after a few days of this then it is simply a symptom of being too ungrounded. If not it is likely a past life issue coming up for healing – which we’ll be focusing on after New Year so we’ll be able to start clearing it then. Exciting times! Sending much love and please know that these challenges will pass and things will get better 🙂
Hi. I was practicing the law of attraction and I was saying over and over again that I want a penny. On the way in to the grocery store, I found a shiny penny on the ground. No one noticed it. I picked it up and was happy and I thanked the universe and God for it. I found one on the way out and was really happy. I had bought a lottery ticket also, but after I found the second penny, I went from euphoric to having severe anxiety. I still have it. Did I over do it?
Hmm Camille, this sounds like an old issue coming up for healing (which is a natural part of awakening). It could be that you subconciously have issues with having money, or there are fears that you will lose it, or it could even be that your soul feels guilty about having money. Regardless of what it is, it will come up for healing and you will move past this 🙂 x
Hey I’m so glad I found this article. I have recently taken a Reiki course and doing my self healing lastnight I asked spirit to heighten my intuition. A flood of energy surged through me I got pretty crazy images and codes. I have had two panic attacks in the last 24 hours the energy is overwhelming. I am feeling fragile but also excited. Please help me make clarity of what I’m feeling it’s out of control!!!!
How do I truly know if I’m I. An awakening or if I might just have like a lot of medical problems
Hi Jada, well the truth is that often during awakening we experience a LOT of medical difficulties and mental problems too, so it can look a bit like we’re falling apart physically when really its all just our souls purging us on every level of our being. The key difference is that there will be some sort of spiritual component or feeling too it. Perhaps your psychic senses have opened up or you’re more intuitively sensitive than before. Thats usually a good indicator. Kelly x
Wow everything you stated is spot on. Even Brydie comment is what I experienced.
I had a panic attach and for a few nights I felt a surge of energy I felt it float from outside me to inside and until I surrendered it stopped but now for days I feel “off” I guess it’s anxiety. I don’t feel okay in public everything feels like a dream and my mind wants me to think I am going crazy.
Got a lot of help but no one I know is going through this.
Hi Saba, yes it can be really difficult going through this but you’re not alone, and I know you’re more on track than ever before. Get as grounded as you possibly can and things will improve. Kelly x
I have grown up with spyrit all around me all my life I used to sit in circles When I was little . I now have been told that spyit will not come through me or for me as I have a very nervous energy . What dose this mean and how can I change this ? I have wanted to be connected for so long but nothing ever comes through please help . ?
Hi Natasha, unfortunately because this message has come through someone else its hard to say, but what I will say, is to take messages that arrive through others with a pinch of salt. Remember that everyones intuition is filtered through their own beliefs and even sometimes opinions, so it is not always correct. Healing and clearing yourself is the best way to open your intuition, and just for the record, connection and intuition is your birthright – as it is for everyone, and can be cleared and developed if you choose 🙂 x
Hi, I’m so glad I found this! Thankyou 🙂 is this free ecourse still happening? I can’t find the link. Thanx x
Hi Haley, yes! The free ecourse can be found at the link below. Enjoy 🙂 http://spiritualawakeningsigns.com/
Wonderful article !!
Have had anxiety on and off for the last 5 years or so. However, since this last full moon, my anxiety has been off the charts. Just the littlest thing seems to trip it off. And I even find myself waking up in the middle of the night with my heart racing.
Went to the ER last week and was told that I was in perfect health (after I was given an EKG, X-Rays, Blood Tests).
Grounding would help alleviate all of this, ma’am ?
Hi James, YES! Absolutely, grounding will help massively in alleviating these challenges – try it out using the guidance in our free course and see the awesome changes that occur 🙂
Hello
I started feeling dizzy after reaching amazing heights of energy , love , mindfulness
It’s now manifested into anxiety / tension in the head that goes intermittently. I feel like I am very ungrounded. Faint / spacey / exhausted. I will do the 5 day grounding but interested to see what others think of this experience – credible blogs seem to indicate it’s a symptom of the awakening. It’s been exhausting and really want to pass through this – the exhaustion leads to more anxiety mostly in the head then emotions come out. The high point of the awakening was incredible but has been a challenge since to the point where I am afraid to mediatate.
Hi Ben, it sounds like your system has become so ungrounded that it has slipped into the fight or flight response. Its like our bodies realize that we are not fully in them or that we are floating away and kicks in the survival mechanism which creates these dizzy, faint feelings and a sense of anxiety. It can also make the body ache or break down as your body is doing everything it can to reground you quickly. Its definitely a symptom of awakening but not one that you need to put up with. Using the techniques listed in the free 5 day grounding course will help massively with this, but stick at it for at least 2 to 3 weeks in order for it to really stick and feel better. The free course will also guide you on how meditation and other traditional grounding methods can actually make you more ungrounded (its very different for those of us going through awakening). So try that and I’m confident that things will improve for you. Kelly You can get it here: https://spiritualawakeningsigns.com/
Wondering why people would get nervous cause of my daughters energy or mine they say its strong. They dont wanna be near us to long.
Hi Gabriella, this could be an old issue from a past life. Often if we have been attacked for our healing or intuitive gifts we tend to hold the same patterns in our fields and it causes others to behave towards us as they did in previous lifetimes. If you can heal this issue you will find it will shift massively for you and your daughter. I’d recommend EFT tapping. You can learn it for free in our course here: https://spiritualawakeningsigns.com/ascensionaid/
As soon as you said that it only feels like energy. I totally just dropped my anxiety. Even though my forehead still hurts.
I have been on medication for anxiety that has never really helped. Actually things are getting worse. I wish I could stop taking it, but know I can’t. I did not realize this was awakening stuff until now. I feel I’m over the edge and scared I will never release and heal this. Can I release this fear EFT?
Hi Elizabeth, yes EFT would be a massive help to you. You can do it for yourself, but I’d consider finding a practitioner either in person or online that can help you really make a big difference to the anxiety and find relief quickly. They will be able to help you to reduce your anxiety while still taking your medication and helping you reduce it over time.
Thank you Ashley for this elaborate explanation of panic attacks. I have gone through various symptoms but this panic stuff is really new to me. It started just last month and I have never known anything like this. I rushed myself to the doctor and got the check ups done and results are normal.
So when I searched for articles related to this, I found yours. Made me feel better. Thank you.
Love and gratitude ??
Hey Ashley,
I went through a very intense awakening this time last year and until now I am struggling with intense anxiety and feeling I havnt quite landed in a new identity yet and it’s causing me to feel extremely concerned at times that I might never feel grounded or Normal or able to cope with real life again. I’m guessing a year isn’t abnormal for the length of time but I feel like I’m very much in a void right now and the new self hasn’t quite been born and the old self is dead and gone so I’m in this weird in between which brings up tremendously intense anxiety almost panicky feelings. Will this all eventually settle and pass as I grow more into a new identity?
