3 Signs You’re Awakening Spiritually
How do you know you are awakening spiritually? There are 3 main signs I feel are critical to gauge how much you are progressing on your spiritual growth journey. Learn what these are, and how to cultivate them on an ongoing basis as part of your emotional self care and to evolve and heal spiritually.
I share with you stories from ancient mythology, including that of an Indian goddess with many arms, and my own personal experiences, what it means to embody these 3 signs, as well as embrace greater self-love, no matter where you're at on your spiritual journey home.
