You’re doing the work. You are meditating, receiving energy healings, breathwork, and all the things. Yet, you feel worse. What gives?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the often-ignored reality of spiritual ascension symptoms; those physical, emotional, and energetic shifts that happen when your vibration rises but your nervous system, ego, or old patterns push back.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing something wrong?” when things feel heavier instead of lighter, this episode is your reassurance that you’re not broken -you’re transforming. Hang in there.

Why feeling worse can mean you're growing

• What are ascension symptoms?
• The kinds of spiritual work that activate these symptoms
• Why raising your vibration sometimes brings up pain
• How long does this last? When will I feel better?
• What to do when symptoms arise (tools + support)
• Final encouragement: You're not failing, you're awakening

Key Takeaways:

• Spiritual healing can activate temporary chaos—emotionally, physically, and energetically.
• Ascension symptoms are part of your system detoxing old energy and identity.
• The discomfort is not a setback; it’s a sacred recalibration.
• You can support your nervous system while still doing the soul work.
