Morning All,

I started my spiritual journey quite suddenly two weeks ago but I've thrown myself into it wholeheartedly.  I was nudged by a psychic.

I seem to be experiencing this really quickly and obviously have a very very long way to go.  I understand and accept that.

However, what I would like to know is whether it is normal to be having physical symptoms right now.

I have had a terrible headache only on the left side of my head for the past 4 days.  It will not budge and I've taken plenty of painkillers.  Its like a red wine headeache - pounding.

I keep getting flu-like symptoms on and off and a strange blocked feeling in my throat.

I'm absolutely exhausted.  I go to bed early and wake up feeling like I haven't slept a wink.  My hours at work have been cut so I'm only on mornings.  I'm so tired that I'm talking rubbish at times!  Told my son this morning his chocolate cereal would taste better once he put butter on it????  He thinks I've been taken over by aliens right now  .

I wake up every morning between 3.00am and 4.00am and I don't go back to sleep.  I use this time to practice my meditation and journal everything.
I've woken up a few times with a huge fright.

I feel disorientated and fuzzy headed but that could be due to the tiredness.

Last week I was euphoric and this week I feel quite down.

Are these symptoms quite common and do they usually last a long time?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I've no-one to talk to about any of this at the moment.

Thanks

If it was such a painful and disorienting journey, who would want to take it?  The fact is...you are awakening to some new and spiritual information, at the same time a guide has stepped close and is causing more harm than good.  Tell him/her to back off!

Spirituality is about love.  Love is not about pain.  When that guide backs off you can use your God-given intelligence to make the choices to spirituality you choose for yourself.  It is all about personal responsibility.  Do not accept that you have to 'suffer' for your spirituality.

I have assumed here that you have checked out the headaches and found them not to have a physical cause?  Disorientation can also be caused by the headaches and other physical problems.  Do not ascribe a spiritual purpose to that which is of the physical material plane.

I agree with spiritalk and I would also strongly suggest that if these symptoms continue, go and see your doctor.
You are attributing these physical symptoms to those of your spiritual awakening. What if there is something physically wrong with you?

Dont make your physical condition as some kind of an effect or side-effect of your spiritual awakening.
Have it seen to. And, when you go and see your doctor, dont tell him/her this spiritual thing; just treat it as a physical condition.
You will know best which one it is.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies spiritalk and cedars.  Much appreciated.

Spiritalk, may I ask why you say it is a guide that has stepped too close?  As mentioned I am very new to all this.

Yesterday afternoon I asked my guides to take away the headache and it went, and hasn't been back.

I think perhaps my tiredness is causing the headaches etc.  I'm not very good with anything less than 8 hours sleep a night.  I'm pathetic!

I understand what you are both saying about spirituality being about love, but I do think this is all linked, perhaps only because I am so excited and anxious, can hardly think of anything else right now, so I am not sleeping well.

I am going to an open-circle for the first time this evening and I am hoping someone can give me some validation of my guides and what I am experiencing.  As mentioned everything is happening really fast, I'm having new experiences every single day and its a little overwhelming.  But I don't want it to slow down either!

Thanks again.
Yvonne

Hope you have a lovely time ar your circle, I remember mine vividly, I then came home and slept straight for twelve hours, exhausted!  I wonder if you are there now?
