Ascension Symptoms: Processing These Intense Energies

By Luz María Campuzano

Have you been feeling exhausted for no reason? Disconnected from your own body? Old wounds you thought you healed are suddenly demanding your attention again?

You may be experiencing ascension symptoms.

The energies have been incredibly strong these past few weeks. We are being blessed with divine light and other cosmic energies helping the planet and all life on earth with our ascension. For many of us, these energies feel less like blessings and more like we are being put through the ringer.

Many are experiencing physical symptoms. Lethargy that no amount of sleep can fix. Disconnection from your own body. Inflammation that appears without explanation. Migraines that leave you unable to function. Hypersensitivity to stimuli where everything feels too loud, too bright, too much. Nervous system issues that make you feel like you are crawling out of your skin.

For others, old lessons that you thought you had healed are resurfacing. The trauma you spent years working through is back. The patterns you thought you broke are showing up again. The pain you thought you released is demanding your attention.

If this is you, I need you to know something. You may be breaking through.

What This Actually Feels Like

The spiritual community talks a lot about ascension and light codes and upgrades. They don't talk enough about what it feels like in your body when it is happening.

You wake up exhausted even though you slept nine hours. Your body feels heavy. Foreign. Like you are wearing a suit that doesn't fit anymore.

You can't focus. Your brain feels foggy. You read the same sentence five times and still don't understand it.

You cancel plans because the thought of being around people makes you want to cry. Then you hate yourself for canceling. Again.

Small things that never bothered you before now send you into a spiral. Someone chews too loud. A light is too bright. A conversation is too much. Your nervous system is screaming.

Old memories come flooding back. The thing that happened when you were seven. The relationship that ended ten years ago. The wound you thought you healed. It is all back. Raw. Present. Demanding to be felt.

You think: I already did this work. Why is this happening again?

The anger comes. The frustration. The exhaustion of doing the work again.

Underneath all of it, there is grief. Deep, heavy, inexplicable grief. You may not even know what you are grieving, but it sits in your chest like a stone.

What I Have Been Experiencing

These past few weeks have been some of the hardest I have experienced in a long time.

I have been feeling disconnected from my own body. Discombobulated. Heavy. Almost as if I have one foot in my body and life and one foot out. I could ground myself briefly, but the disconnection kept pulling me back.

Old traumas that I have been working through for many years showed up in a big way. Like a wave that knocked me off my feet. Almost as if it was a test. The divine asking me: Have you really learned? Are you ready for the next level? Is there anything left to learn from this lesson?

I have been feeling a lot of grief and sadness. Some was mine. Some could have been from the collective. Either way, I couldn't tell the difference. I would wake up feeling confused and unmotivated.

In this process, I had to make a choice. To honor myself and also honor my responsibilities as a coach, I stopped filling my days with coaching clients. I know that I can't properly hold space for my clients to the highest degree while processing these energies. I had to choose myself first.

That choice came with guilt. The voice that said I should be working. I should be productive. I should be able to handle this.

I couldn't. My body wouldn't let me. The exhaustion and confusion were too deep to ignore.

Dreams have also been very vivid. I have had dreams where I have been asked to make choices. Testing whether I had truly integrated what I thought I had learned. Old relationships showing up. Old versions of myself asking to be seen.

Today I woke up feeling as if I turned a corner. Joy, clarity, and focus flooded in. Dynamic energy and love are flowing through me. My creative drive has come back stronger than ever. I feel deeply anchored within myself, the grounding finally holding.

This is what the other side of processing looks like. I am here to tell you that the heaviness doesn't last forever.

Why Old Wounds Come Back

When we receive powerful cosmic energies and divine light, they go deep. They illuminate what has been hiding in the shadows. They bring to the surface everything that is ready to be released.

This is why old traumas resurface. You may be ready to heal them at a deeper level now.

The truth is this. You did heal it at the level you were capable of healing it then. You may be being asked to go deeper. To release what you couldn't access before. To integrate what you weren't ready for.

The energies aren't punishing you. They are supporting you. Support doesn't always feel gentle. Sometimes support feels like pressure. Like being squeezed. Like everything you thought you had handled is suddenly demanding your attention again.

Your body may be processing. Your nervous system may be recalibrating. Your soul may be integrating what it has been asking for.

The Physical Symptoms Are Your Body Speaking

Your body is speaking.

Your body is speaking through these symptoms.

The lethargy asks you to slow down. The disconnection protects you from overwhelm. The inflammation moves old energy through and out.

Your third eye may be opening. Your crown chakra may be expanding. Your entire energy system may be upgrading.

The hypersensitivity refines your system. The nervous system issues release old trauma stored in your cells for years, sometimes lifetimes. The shaking. The anxiety. The dysregulation. This is release.

The Grief Is Real

Some of what you are feeling is yours. Some of it may be the collective. We are all connected. When the planet is going through a massive shift, we feel it. When humanity is releasing old wounds, we feel it.

You may not even know why you are sad. You may not have a reason. That is because you are processing grief that doesn't belong to a specific story. You are releasing grief that has been carried for lifetimes.

You might be grieving versions of yourself that are dying. Relationships that are ending. Beliefs that are crumbling. A life that no longer fits.

Let yourself feel it. Don't push it away. Don't try to fix it or understand it. Don't judge it. Just let it move through you.

Pay Attention to Your Dreams

If your dreams have been vivid, intense, or confusing, pay attention.

You may be being tested in the dream state. You may be being asked to make choices. To see where you are vibrating. To see what you have truly integrated and what still needs work.

If old patterns are showing up in your dreams, it is because they are asking to be seen. To be acknowledged. To be released.

If old relationships are appearing, you are being shown what you haven't yet released about that dynamic.

If old versions of yourself are showing up, those parts are asking to be integrated or let go.

Your dreams aren't random. They are messages asking you to look at patterns, not to be taken literally.

What Turning the Corner Feels Like

There will come a moment when you feel the shift.

You will wake up one morning and the heaviness will be lighter. The fog will lift. The clarity will return. The joy will come flooding back in.

You will feel like yourself again. Not the old version of yourself. A new version. Clearer. Lighter. More aligned.

This is what it means to turn the corner. You may have processed what needed to be processed. You may have integrated what needed to be integrated. You may be on the other side.

Your creative drive will come back stronger than ever. Your energy will feel dynamic and alive. Love will flow through you in ways it hasn't before.

This isn't the end of the work. This is the beginning of a new chapter. You may have been upgraded. You may be operating at a higher frequency now. You may be ready for what comes next.

If You Are Still in the Thick of It

If you are reading this and you are still in the thick of it, I need you to hear me.

You are at the precipice of a major breakthrough.

I know it doesn't feel like it. I know you are exhausted. I know you want it to stop. I know you feel like giving up. You are turning the corner right now. You just can't see it yet. The breakthrough is closer than you think.

The divine is holding you. Your angels and guides are with you. The energies that feel like they are breaking you are actually rebuilding you.

You have what it takes to get through whatever it is that you are currently experiencing.

The breakthrough is coming.

How to Support Yourself

You don't have to do this alone. You don't have to push through. You don't have to force yourself to function at full capacity when your system is asking you to rest.

If you are tired, rest. If you are overstimulated, create quiet. If you are grieving, let yourself grieve.

If you can't hold space for others right now, don't force it. If you need to cancel plans, cancel them. If you need to step back from responsibilities, step back.

You can't pour from an empty cup. You can't hold space for others when you are barely holding yourself together.

Honor the process. This isn't happening to you. This is happening for you. The energies are working in your favor even when they don't feel like it.

Work with practitioners who understand ascension. Not everyone will understand what you are going through. Find the people who do. The healers who work with energy. The coaches who understand spiritual awakening. The community who gets it.

This Is What Ascension Actually Looks Like

This is the work. This is the path. This is what ascension actually looks like.

It is messy. It is uncomfortable. It is heavy. It is also sacred. It is leading you exactly where you need to go.

You are in the process of becoming. You are shedding what no longer serves. You are integrating what your soul has been asking for.

Trust the process. Trust your body. Trust the divine.

You are breaking through.

With so much love and gratitude,
