Stage 2 - Awakening
Awakening starts with noticing things that don’t quite seem to fit your current understanding or model of the world. You thought you knew how things worked, but strange things start to happen.
You might just find yourself being surprised by people behaving in ways that you didn’t expect, or you perhaps strange coincidences keep happening. Perhaps the same numbers keep showing up, similar messages repeat themselves. You feel differently about people and places and you don’t quite know why.
Qualities of an Awakener
You might have strange dreams or become increasingly sensitive to others, to people and places. You begin to question things. Why do things have to be this way? Isn’t there more to life than this? Who says this is how it is?
As you enter the Awakening stage, you start to question the status quo. You wonder if the things that you’ve always accepted as true really are the way things are. Whereas at Harmoniser everything has a box, and everything fits in a box, at Awakening, you start find that some things don’t fit in the boxes and you have no idea why, so you start asking questions.
Maybe you’re noticing small signs, subtle, and not so subtle, signals that things just don’t seem to make sense the way they used to. What you were previously happy with, no longer satisfies you. You start to want more. You wonder if there’s more to life or you have experiences that just don’t make sense or fit into your beliefs.
There are changes happening, both in yourself and in others. You sense that you’re different. You don’t quite fit in anymore, nor are you sure you even want to.
Noticing Discrepancies
You begin to notice things that don’t align with your current understanding of the world. Events, behaviours, and coincidences seem out of place.
Surprise and Curiosity
You find yourself surprised by unexpected behaviours and events. This surprise fuels your curiosity about the world and your own experiences.
Heightened Sensitivity
Your sensitivity to people, places, and experiences increases. You become more attuned to subtle energies and emotions.
Questioning Beliefs
You start questioning long-held beliefs and assumptions. You wonder if there is more to life than what you’ve accepted as true.
Challenging the Status Quo
You begin to challenge the status quo and question societal norms. You no longer accept things at face value and seek to understand the underlying truths.
Noticing Signs and Patterns
You become aware of signs, symbols, and repeating patterns in your life. These signs may guide your journey of self-discovery.
Desire for More
You develop a deep desire for more meaning and fulfilment in life. You no longer settle for what once satisfied you and seek a deeper purpose.
Vivid Dreams
Your dreams become more vivid and meaningful. They may offer insights and messages that prompt your exploration.
Increased Self-Awareness
You experience heightened self-awareness and reflection. You become more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Your awareness of the world and your own existence expands. You begin to see the world in a new light.
Feeling Different
You sense that you are different from your previous self and from others around you. You may not fit in as you once did.
Seeking Answers
Your curiosity drives you to seek answers to your questions. You embark on a journey of self-discovery and seek deeper understanding.
Confusion and Curiosity
You may initially feel confused about the changes happening within you and your perceptions. This confusion fuels your curiosity.
Unusual Experiences
You have experiences that defy explanation within your previous belief system. These experiences challenge your existing worldview.
Anxiety
You may start to feel anxious but not know what about or why.
The Awakening stage represents a profound shift in your perception and a growing awareness of the mysteries of life. It marks the beginning of your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.

Challenges of an Awakener
Confusion and Uncertainty
During this awakening phase, it’s completely natural to feel a bit lost or confused. You’re starting to notice that things don’t quite add up, and that can be unsettling. Remember, it’s okay not to have all the answers right away.
Inner Turmoil
As you question your old beliefs and start to explore new ideas, you may find yourself wrestling with intense emotions. This inner conflict is a sign of your growth, and it’s perfectly normal to go through it.
You Could Feel Isolated
Sometimes, awakening can make you feel like you’re on a different wavelength from those around you. This sense of isolation can be challenging, but it’s often a part of the journey to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world.
Fear of Change
Change can be scary, especially when you’re not entirely sure what’s changing or where it’s leading.
Self-Doubt
It’s common to doubt whether you’re making the right choices or heading in the right direction. Self-doubt is a natural part of the process, but remember that you’re capable of incredible growth.
Inability to Interpret Signs
You see the signs and get the messages from the universe or your own intuition, but you can’t understand them, or you misinterpret them. This can be very frustrating and disorientating.
Impatience
You want the answers NOW dammit! It’s ok to be impatient and frustrated, that’s just a sign that this is really important to you and demands some time and attention to move forward. There are no quick, sound-bite solutions. Get ready to dig deep into your learning and knowing.
You Might Struggle with Uncertainty
The uncertainty about what lies ahead can be daunting. You’re taking the first steps into the unknown, and that can trigger anxiety. Just remember that this uncertainty is also an opportunity for incredible growth.
