"It's a sign of the times that the word "awakened" has made it into the urban dictionary,
where it is defined as "spiritually aware of the universe and [its] direct metaphysical connection to one's own being and the connection it has to all life forces."
It is so mainstream, in fact, that political candidate Marianne Williamson has made part of her platform a call for "moral and spiritual awakening."
One of the problems with the idea of a spiritual awakening, however, is the lack of a clear definition. What exactly is a spiritual awakening, and is there a way you can tell if you are having one?" < chopra.com >

what is a spiritual awakening?

* opening one's eyes to a higher state of consciousness.

a spiritual awakening isn't all primroses and peaches though. it can be one of the most confusing, lonely, alienating - and yet one of the most beautiful processes in life.

phase one of a spiritual awakening usually involves asking oneself questions. Questions about your reality and the life you are living.
such as..

- why do I get angry so often?

- why am I always comparing myself to others?

- why do I act the way that I do?

- is my religion really true?

- during this phase, you may feel connection to any number of things. Mother Earth, witchcraft, crystals, new-age ideas, manifestation, the laws of the universe... etc.

- you may try on the perspective of others, and start to understand the people around you instead of judging them

- you might as well feel a connection with animals and other creatures as well, being kinder and more contentious with how you live your life in order to be a better steward.

everyone has attachments, or things they label themselves with wether you realize it or not. You may define yourself by what other people tell you, what politicians you align with, your looks, what you enjoy watching... etc.
