Sometimes in life we go under a profound and transformative experience which results in a shift in our consciousness or perception of reality. There is a deepening of one's connection to their spiritual side, and may be accompanied by a sense of inner peace, joy, or a feeling of oneness with all things. In short we look at the world differently.
This Spiritual awakening can occur spontaneously or as a result of spiritual practices such as meditation, , self-inquiry, prayers or learning from a guru or master. It leads to a sense of liberation from the limitations of the ego, and a greater awareness of the interconnectedness of all things.
