What’s The Dark Night of The Soul (REALLY)? And How To Get Out of It.

7 years of hell. Dissociating, hospitalizations, seriously suicidal all the time. All gone! In 5D love and bliss.

[@dreamsaresharedhere_]

Some physical relievers to note too: Cold showers! Breathwork (I love Wim Hof's-clears the mind calms the body) Music (life saver) Hug a tree, walk barefoot, get away from the cars and the people for a moment. This could especially be important for empaths. This was a great video. Mantras, affirmations/gratitude, and visualizing will be my focus now!

Could not agree with you more- especially about the music! Stay blessed 🌻

[@karmarules9850]

In reference to coming out of The Dark Night faster; One thing that helps me a lot, that I want to share, was that I made a physical list of all the people in my life that I felt wronged me in some way. (It was long, even some from my childhood.) One by one I visualized a face to face conversation where I told them I forgive them (specifically for what they did) and asked them to forgive me (specifically for how I reacted) and then I virtually wished them love and peace, gave them a hug and sent them on their way. I repeated this until I no longer felt that they owed me an apology. Now when their faces come up in my memory I feel peace and forgiveness for them. It was hard at first--. I can't tell you how many people I virtually slapped in my mind but eventually my heart softened and I dropped the burden of hateful baggage. Wonderfully, some I have been able to tell in person. I still have to practice sometimes but it's such a relief to get rid of the anger, self-pity and the "woe is me" attitude from being wronged. Do it for you, not for them. I love myself a lot more now because the dark was eating me up. You can forgive their humanity and make more room in your heart for the light. It doesn't mean you condone what they did or the hurt they caused. It just means that you don't have to carry it everywhere you go. You have to PRACTICE forgiveness. I find that now, I am much quicker to forgive rather than holding it in. We are all a collective. The Universe hears your thoughts and does reward your positive intent! Hope this helps!

My dark night involved becoming homeless. This went on for years. Although I was blessed with understanding WHY I was going thru this so it kept my head above water. I had ZERO family and friends to talk to. I can only say Im so much stronger in an invisible way. I am now 64 years old and can say Im seeing the Light again. And yes I still get reminders, but I've NEVER FELT SO BLESSED & GRATEFUL in my entire life. I cry at times just feeling SO THANKFUL ! Life is awesome and it continues to become more beautiful & full. Thank you with all my Heart for the work you do for all Souls. Much Love ❤.... Kristin 👣 👣 👣

[@evareed3373]

My own isolation was almost a forced rescue. My life relationships fell apart in every area of my life, then I was injured and could not walk for a month. During that time I was forced to sit down so I searched on-line for answers, scouring so many sources, until I found Christina Lopes. I hovered over the exit button for the first few moments and with each moment her voice and words sank into me and hooked. Thank goodness. I am now moving forward into a new me and a new life, gradually while hungrily devouring the manna I have needed for recovery.

[@nandinisingh5786]

Yes the same thing has happened with me. Everyone I loved other than my parents are away from me now. I have also dropped a lot of friends. I had a best friend for like 8 yrs but I had to let her go cuz of the mental pain she was causing me. I have been feeling all the symptoms of the dark night and I am lost cuz I am like only 18 and a student. Studying right now is really important for me but everyday I feel so tired. I feel exceptionally drained and everyday chores is just a big task for me. I feel like I am in a huge black hole or something. Nothing absolutely nothing is going right in my life. My friends are lost, the guy I loved is lost, my relationship with my parents is a little bit odd, my grades have fallen.

Mother died of cancer when I was 17. 3 years of drug abuse after that cause I couldn’t face the reality, the accumulation of pain in my body so big that I couldn’t breathe after 5-6 years of deep intense pain everyday, I’m feeling a bit better but nowhere in balance yet. But man have the pain changed me... suffering humbles you, but it’s hard to keep going.

THE MIRROR THING IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I have been going threw my dark nights of the soul for over half a year now and when I looked into the mirror, I would have to remind myself ‘this is your face, this is your face, this is your face’ and it got to the point where even other people became a blur. This has been incredibly difficult because I have always felt a profound connection to God and source my entire life and so having that stripped away left me cram long to find my breath for months. I am just beginning to feel that connection again, but now in a much more intense manner. God is good and I am thankful for my journey 🙏🙏🙏💖💖

[@victoryamartin9773]

I can't wait for that reconnection with God. I miss Him, but I am even losing all my preconceived, immature ideas about who I believed Him to be and what faith is supposed to look like. I find myself cringing at all the Christian in-group virtue signalling I hear and used to participate in. Bring on this ego death; I want to know the true promised abundant life!

[@sanketkorgaonkar5219]

U said it correctly '" Ego doesn't die it transform itself into its new divine form " . I had gone through all these and now I m just witnessing miracles happening around me knowing the fact that I m pure consciousness.

pure consciousness indicates that your are no longer in your 3D body. That seems like the only viable solution to this.

Absolutely amazing. You perfectly described my life for the last 9 months.. I feel like I was dying, going crazy and everyone around me not validating me and not feeling supported AT ALL. I’ve felt so alone and in despair but I realized I’m the only one who can help myself. I always wanted to be protected and rescued but now I understand why I had to go through all of this… I will never abandon myself ever again from here on and I will only live life MY WAY. My heart is still in a million pieces but the more I put it together, the stronger I become..

Hello, It is so good to know that I am not going crazy. I have been experiencing constant headaches and migraines for 5 years already- still going on, plus nerve pain, mysterious different ailments in my body, chronic issues, severe constant eye strain, sinus issues..relationships issues... Went to so many doctors, did so many tests, scans, maneuvers, healings, teachings, exercises, techniques... no help at all, just pain, pain, pain, physical, emotional.. This caused anxiety, fear, depression...I feel broken, very weak, lost... started blaming myself for everything, feel enormous guilt and regrets for many things I have done in the past while not living consciously. I fear future... I think this is how the rest of my life will also be, cause I do not see how this all would end. A few days ago I signed up for Transcendental Meditation course hoping that this meditation can calm me down a bit and help me live with this. My ego must be enormous according to my experience of the "dark night"! Or, maybe, I am not spiritually awakening at all, it is just my life that sucks! Anyway, thank you Tina so much for your videos and help and hope I got from watching!

[@Vyjayanthi41]

First dark night of the soul is truly shattering. My ego woke up. I was in an extraordinarily abusive situation, it was like remembering my self. Because my self was spiritual to begin with, I lost my ego to abuse at first. I had to rebuild it knowing how helpless I had made my self. I found my purpose in life, I started working 24x7 to help survivors of abuse.

[@filipaferreira9005]

As I was sinking into a depressive state, for me it was definitely a must to change daily habits to support me through the dark night, it made the whole process far more peaceful and smooth. 1) Practicing Hatha Yoga daily 2) Changing to a plant based diet, with as much fresh veggies and fruit as possible. Avoiding processed foods. 3)Starting Intermittent Fasting 4) Listening to music to help me process emotions and go through the hardest moments ( I remember there were a couple of months when I kept listening over and over again "Head Above Water" from Avril Lavigne, it became like a mantra 😅 5) Journaling the process 6) Looking into my past to proactively heal old wounds 7) Finding few moments of stillness every single day, to stop the mental process and contemplate: just enjoying the sun, or the breeze or just taking the time to seep in the beauty of a tree 8) Practicing gratitude every single day I learned the hard way that it is essential to support our bodies and minds throughout the process, it really changes the game. People around me kept asking "But why are you changing all your habits when you are so healthy? What is going on with you?". I couldn't really answer because I would sound crazy to them, so I just said "Nothing special, just in the mood to try something new" 😂😂😂 The truth is that I was completely desperate but I would just hide everything behind a smile (not anymore, learned the hard way again that it's a really toxic behaviour). But I am glad that it didn't discourage me from keeping doing it, because after a couple of months started paying back and I felt stability and peace in the middle of it, my anxiety finally receded. I wish the best to all of you going through it 🙏💖💖💖

I am going through that right now. And it is freaking my husband out. I'm feeling disconnected from source and from him. And I'm hoping it will pass with the relationship in tact. I explained to him at the beginning of this journey that I want him to come along but I understand if he doesn't. I also explained that I can't stop the transition. It's happening in waves right now and I've experienced the bliss, then rage, now emptiness. I've been in communication with others on their spiritual journey and one tried to shame me for not blaming this experience on a 'demonic' presence. At the time I hadn't heard the term 'dark night of the soul' but I do understand demonic to be a human construct. So that didn't work out so well for them. I'm glad to better understand it is an ego affliction and I now have the vocabulary to help the Mr through what I'm going through. I knew it would pass because I've been going through these bouts my entire life. I didn't realize the tools to help me through until this video. So, thank you for that. Sending light and love your way.

I feel like I have been going through this for a few months. It is the most challenging experience I have ever had. It feels like I am in between two worlds. My old world which used to make sense to me and an unknown world where I just don't seem to be quite there yet or fully understand its allure. I feel forsaken or abandoned at times and wake up to dark thoughts. I felt better this morning and I am not sure if this is temporary or a turning point. I keep letting go of things that used to be of utmost importance to me. Control has been the most difficult illusion for me to release, but I keep surrendering to the Universe. About a week ago I had no idea what I was experiencing, but then i watched Aaron Abke's video on Spiritual depression. It helped tremendously knowing that this is part of the process.

25 year old here! I know I shouldn’t be counting months or how long I’ve been in this phase but god these 7 months have been grueling agony. I’ve lost connections with my friends and family but honestly for the best, things are starting to appear in the light which I’m very grateful for, however there’s a part of me that longs for connection but afraid of showing vulnerability to people that ultimately are energy suckers and there are a lot of people who are not aware of that. I must say that this video has been a life line when I’ve been consumed in darkness and dispair. I remember waking up ultimately knowing a HUGE change is about to work my life.

I am going through the dark knight of the ego. I feel lost, no purpose, confused, hurting a deep pain in my heart. No desire to be in the moment to get out of bed. I feel heavy like my body is always weighted and sluggish, sick, out of myself yet deeply consumed and trapped by my skin. There's glimpses of a sense of spiritual peace I feel a vibration centered in my shins that is intense there but lightly throughout the rest of my body. My heart though is blocked like this darkness has its grasp around it keeping it within it's depths unable to feel fully the peace of my spirit and hear what my soul is trying to speak.

I journal daily as a way to remain aware and reduce mental clutter. I also do yoga and meditation to connect to my body. Sometimes I cried threw all these processes and sometimes I was angry for the things that I did not understand. But I know that’s ok and every day gets better. Just being able to put a video out like this is a blessing, Thank you so much Christina! XO!

During spiritual awakening and dark night of the soul I would highly recommend to have some spiritual healer, helper, teacher. They can help you to understand it and go through the process with love.

I have been crying for 4 months seemingly for no reason. Not just getting teary a few times a day, but gut-wrenching sobbing half of the day, when not sobbing feeling flat, so tired and frustrated with the knowledge I know there is more but I can't seem to pick a direction to go. I found information on the dark night of the soul it helped me to know it might something else other than depression/anxiety. Thank you for these practices. I will certainly try them, anything to move this process along would be most welcomed!

[@digi222]

So happy this topic is discussed and recognized alot more nowadays. Very hard process to go through and many just think I am depressed and being dramatic when I cry every day.

I've been going through it of and on for years... and i've survived it every single time. I was diagnosed as bipolar and been put on medications wich were horrible. I am still a bit in it but it's bareable now and i won't let it get to me anymore. I started painting and discovered unexpected talents on myself by creating art, wich gave my life meaning again. You have to find things that bring you joy and leave the old you behind. It's a very difficult process, because i really wanted to die and end my life. My cats were my guardian angels and kept me from ending my life. I needed to live for them, and they saved me. It's actually a very good process because it shows you where you went wrong in life. Now i feel a lot better but i am still struggling with the last bits of it.

I am beyond grateful for your videos during this incredibly difficult time! As someone with an educational background in psychology, I thought I was losing my mind especially when I began experiencing symptoms of "not knowing who I was anymore" or a "deep sense of meaninglessness" and "profound emptiness". I'm currently trying to take it day by day but the feelings of depression have been so debilitating (partially because my ego has been resisting the ascension process). Having a conceptual understanding of the dark night of the soul really helped me make sense of it all. Truly appreciate all that you do. Thank you so much! 🧡

[@marcycampbell8620]

I'm almost 53. My first dark night was Sept. '84 when I was 16. Anyone else in this group suffer that far back? It's hard to get help or even understand what's happening when the world treats you like you have 3 heads. Lol Panic attacks and extreme anxiety disorder were constant companions from ages 16-30! I took no meds. I worked through it the hard way, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

[@GeorgiaGabet-sb7wv]

March Campbell, my first Dark Night happened when I was 7. Teenage Dark Nights are fairly common. It's surprising shrinks haven't thought about this before. I was acting out what Mom tried to keep secrets in hopes of finding help for both of us, but I was the one considered insane. Life accepted. I made the best of it and lived well despite expectations.

I'm in the dark night and my struggle is identifying my repressed pain and trauma from childhood. This video will help me, I just need to follow my soul's lead, no resistance, surrender to the process. Thank you beautiful soul!

[@none3668]

Wish I found this video before haha. I am just getting out of this. I know i was getting rid of the shit in my mind as i used to call it. All my childhood traumas, past mistakes, wrong perceptions and mental disfuncioning that was so exhausting for 40 years were finally coming to surface fast and more furiously these last 4 months. Oh, I wish I have anticipated this. Before that, I was feeling a sense of relief. I thought the worst was over but no. I really needed time alone but I wasn't alone. Now that I think about it, for me, it was necessary to go through this. I was for sure kicking and screaming. Going against it. All my negative narratives and victim mentally would just not want to leave. I was the one looking to understand what was happening to me. Searching, desceminating, over analyzing and trying to make sense of it. Blaming others for what I was feeling and somehow I came to surrender. Sadly on my way out of it. I shared what I was going through and I hurt someone. I wish I knew this before. Dont do that. Just be still, have this time for yourself. Because no one will understand. You will see that at the end of this dark night you will feel glad that you finally got rid of that old story of yours. You will find that you need to forgive yourself and others in a way you havent forgiven before. That forgiveness is so important. Do it well, let go. You will find that "most" of the pain will sease (at doing that) and your will forget the negative feelings! I said it, It is not that you will act as if nothing has ever happened, you will act as if everything has already happened! It's done and gone. And you will want to ask for forgiveness as well, dont do it until you truly know what you are apologizing for, let your heart guide you. It's is important to take responsibility for what you have said and done in the past when you were hurt. We all have a share and so honor yourself and authentic about it. Part of the process of letting the ego die is to get courage to take a positive action. Dont be sad if people dont forgive you. Just know that in your heart you mean to heal yourself and others. Just be what you were meant to be. Love. That's it. You are the source of love. Love will heal itself. And once you are healed, you will be able to heal others. Know that everything that your soul is getting rid of is not allowing you to be that (love). So let it go so you can find bliss and peace in your life. For that you must let your old and sick ego die. It's being three long years for me with 3 very dark nights, with the last one being the worst and the best... and today I know that I will be ok. I know that this is a good thing and so I have decided to run with it. Reframing like she said was key. Changing your paradigm... not so easy when you have to discover what it was before. Scary to actually meet my old true self. Or was it me all this time? Was I just a puppet of my hurt ego? Surrender and stop resisting. Letting it all come to surface and being kind to yourself will help you accept with grace what you couldn't before. Remain still. Do not react to it. See things as they are and not as you think it should be, it's ok. And if your mind takes you to where you dont want to go, let it be, you are not your mind. Watch it and bring your awareness to what's important. Little by little you will find meaning and will to focus on what's really important. It is all good. Revelations will come to you. You are not crazy. You are almost there and for now, Just be there. Thank you for this video!! ❤

I’m in the beginning stages but it’s heavy. I’m going through this now and couldn’t understand why I was losing people “close” to me. You feel so isolated and alone but still like something deeper is keeping you going.

[@nadiamckinney4146]

I felt disconnected and detached from everyone. I wanted to run away from everything because I felt so ashamed as to how I felt. I went from a state of bliss one day to physical ailments and sadness, disconnection from source and my community the next day. I am still going thru this phase. I still have physical ailments and I cry everyday because of the sadness I experience but I’m taking it one day at a time. Nature helps a lot, gratitude, music, and surrendering to people loving and supporting me. My friends, family and partner have showed up in immense ways. I will forever be grateful

Thank you so much for this, I suddenly feel less lost and even slightly excited about this process.

[@valeriehannibal5734]

I've felt this way my whole life. It definitely came in waves where sometimes I was okay around people, but once I was alone my true emotions could come out. I think I am undoing generations of ancestral trauma. I am the "responsible" person in my family. Going to college was my way to escape but once I got there I started feeling even more helpless. I felt disconnected from that space (as Black woman who grew up poor in a white private liberal arts school) while knowing I needed it to be able to get a job and be able to support myself and my family. I am 25 and as I get older I just want to run away from myself but I know there are people who would be hurt if I did that. Knowing that people I love depend on me makes me want to heal. Heal so I can show my loved ones that it is possible and help them on their journey. I cant help anyone if I can't help myself.

I think I'm currently in the dark night of the soul. I can't go to sleep it feels like I can't breathe. I sometimes wake up in panic because it feels like I'm choking. I don't know what to do, I feel so disconnected to everyone. It feels like they're living in a bubble and I disconnect from them and go all alone somewhere else. But I don't know where. This video helped me so much to understand what it is. I feel depressed but I still have my positive thoughts, that's such a weird feeling but now I see why I have it and what's it all about.

[@jacks2222]

14yrs. It's affected my health, I have zero motivation, lost all sense of inspiration. I wonder how people do the things they do, how they get themselves to move with energy. I'm isolated and have been for years, any potential of new friendships have fizzled out before they've properly started. I often feel adrift, lost in a vast ocean, often panic, terror and deep sense of dread in the pit of my stomach. I feel pointless, without purpose, like nothing has any meaning or point to it. Disconnected even though I cognitively understand the true nature of the universe and energy etc. I'm not feeling it, not embodying that knowledge as I have in the past. Spaced out, disconnected also from the human world, physically heavy, everything is such a huge effort and I have no patience with people.. especially when I'm being lied to. I have adhd which could be making things worse because of the inability to keep focus clear. Watching this video has made me realise how much I need to feel in control of events and the way they happen...Fear,lots of fear and perhaps worst of all, definitely the biggest challenge is the level of demand avoidance that's going on.. I struggle to get myself to do even things I know I like and want to do. It's such a bizarre battle to deal with. Anyone else have that? Something has changed tho, I felt a big shift at the beginning of the year. Lots of realisations and shifts in my patterns but still that numbness and it feels so slow.. there's that need for control again! I want to feel again but need to get to the point where it feels safe to do so I guess. This work is so intense but does it have to be? I've gained deep, deep levels of insight into myself but feel so self absorbed. Anyway I'm very glad to have found this video and to you for making it, thank you 💜

I had a whole “perfect storm” of things happen all at once. I had a work injury that ended my nearly 15 year career that I was going to retire in, the relationship with my brother fell apart, I ended an 8+ year relationship, and several other things. It spurred on a spontaneous spiritual awakening. I venture to say almost close to a kundalini, but I’ve never spoken with anyone who really knows about that stuff. I struggled with it. BAD. I didn’t know what was happening. And then I allowed myself to fall out of it. Then I went through a very dark period. And even that part came in waves. But, lately, I seem to be on the cusp of another awakening. I’m excited and can’t wait to see what god/universe has in store for me.

[@broduerlover]

Was enlightened at the age of 7 walking in our garden. Then I have had drugs placed in my cola and raped 3 times woke up twice from the roofies almost died once all these in a matter of 3 years once under age. A decade later my mother was diagnosed with a rare cancer. I was the main caregiver unless she had to be in hospital then I would sleep on the floor as they allowed me. After she passed my dad had a cancer even more rare; took care of him at home the entire time-there was nothing for them to do so I watched and did things I shouldn’t have with no help. This was a total of 13 years back to back not including my furry babies that was about to hit me. I sought a dr to talk to made things worse and I refused medications. Three years later 3 of my furry babies, I had for over 20 years, all were ill and going to die. Again I was there with them as I was for my parents with the most 4 hours of sleep. I lost everyone in my life and not a soul called me to see if I was alive or needed to talk. All my friends disappeared, all my parents friends disappeared on me. Being the only child and so emotionally attached to them all I actually said out loud to myself, “I am free now, there is no one else to die on me” and I felt so numb, so lost I did not speak for weeks. I was told I was a nurse in past lives and I never believed it till those times. I use to do this odd healing where I would extract black matter out of bodies and expel it to the universe then flood the body with white light. I still can not find out what this type of healing is called but it works till there is so much matter that I can not. The only time I understood it was in a movie I saw called The Green Mile. Except my black matter comes out of my other hand as one vacuums it out. I don’t know what kind of healing his is called either. I wish I knew. One day after a year of seeing a psychiatrist for a year to no avail he told me off the clock, “I don’t understand how you have not committed suicide “. I looked at him and told him I have furry babies at home that need me and never went back again. It’s been since 2016 since the loss of my last furry babie and just last year around this time I felt bliss. I felt I was “allowed” to live again. Unfortunately I called an ex boyfriend from my college years and he dismissed me quickly and hung up on me. I actually called him to see if he was ready to reconnect as I believed we were meant to do good on this earth together. My bliss left me and a mini dark night still holds on to it’s finality. I am realizing how alone I have been for so long and I am still here. It sounds sad but it really is not. I do have a friend who lives in another city in which he heard a lot of what went on in my past. He is a kind and caring soul who wants to help me but this is my battle not his. Why burden someone and bring them down when you can elevate them to vibrate at a higher level. But I now understand people die yes. It is painful yes but, it is part of life; just wish it was so traumatic for my loved ones or for me either. All I know now is that I need to be somewhere in order to do my life’s purpose. I am almost there. I have not seen anything else since that walk in the garden at 7 years old. I am now 51 and know when the time is right I will be there. Thank you for sharing your words with us Christina. Apologies for this mess of message but if anyone reads it please know you can get through it. I believe in you.

I‘ve been through this dark night of the soul two years ago. It lasted for a few months. And it was a frightening but also fulfilling experience. Now after diving into my shadow and healing some major wounds I feel like the old me is starting to disintegrate. At least my core beliefs are turned upside down. It feels like I‘m walking with a blindfold. Although I can see everything with my eyes, I can only live on by feeling into my heart and following my intuition. In these past years I‘ve made major decisions and cut lots of people out of my life forever. I am changing. Now it‘s only me or me. My soul doesn’t allow me to pause anymore :) Spirit knows what it wants and it‘s directly telling me which steps to take. So I‘m grateful for that 💜✨

But I don't want to do that work anymore. I can't believe how I feel. Yes I do relate to not wanting to get up and start the day. I thought it was me being lazy but now I see why.

The ego part really makes sense, ego goes against spirit so there ya go. In the span of 4 years I lost all of my clients. I felt more alone than I ever have. I didn't know who I was, I was crying all the time, I was depressed, I felt unappreciated, invisible and dismissed. I released held emotions, I also got through the loss of 3 pets in 6 months (which was devastating), but I got stronger and found me. Yes, I think we need an ego but not a selfish one, not one at all costs, not one that interferes with spirit, a softened ego. One thing that helped me was St. John's Wort capsules.

Thank you...🙏💖🙏 It's a War with the ego and I WILL come out of this stage with more awareness & a greater soul emitting more light and a greater energy field internally & externally...🙏🙏🙏

My daughter passed away suddenly in May last year (2019) just shy of her second birthday. This has triggered what you describe as the dark night for me and my wife. We go through counselling and have a wonderful support network but still find that we dip into the lows regularly. I watched your videos In preparation for my 2nd ayahuasca session and found them helpful. I experienced an ego death in my first session years ago and felt more spiritually connected as a result. I thought this second session might help us come to terms with our grief but was somewhat mistaken. I was able to visualize letting my daughter go, and have a new will to live my life but the journey was extremely painful and was not able to let the ego die. I was convinced I was going to (literally) die during ceremony and couldn't "indulge" in an ego death at the expense of my wifes wellbeing or risk any possibility of actually dieing. Although the ceremony was constructive, I feel I've brought some of that darkness into my waking life. I can understand what you describe conceptually, but I cannot fathom the spirit experiencing "joy" during these difficult times. Instead it feels as though we are being persecuted, or paying our dues maybe for past transgressions in another life.

Mike Lai, I am so very, very sorry for your profound and sudden loss. When I read your comment, a story immediately triggered in my head. I had seen it on Oprah 10 years ago. Today I am wondering if me remembering this story was specifically so I could convey it to you. I have decided not to post the youtube address, but because it's easy to find the original video, I decided that I must at least mention it to you.... What I'm praying is that the title alone will give you hope and maybe some peace? The entire video is 14 minutes long and does mention the sadder details at the beginning, but there are some incredible "God-wink" moments that are revealed later in the video, if you care to watch it and decide to just bypass the beginning. Sending healing wishes to you and your wife. "The Parents Who Lost 3 Children In A Car Accident Then Had Triplets" | The Oprah Winfrey Show | OWN

I can't help but notice the connection to "May" as well.

[@Gypsynyc10]

Thank you Christina ! You have explained it so well … It was extremely painful but in a way liberating as well….…for the FIRST time in my life , I understood ‘ ME ‘ and my life’s relationship pattern . It was a self discovery journey that needed to happen in order for me to heal all my childhood abandonment issues , wounds that I had not even known existed ..

[@cristinaferreira2230]

My old self died a long time ago, I have changed so much and became a lot stronger,you're right it is scary.

[@andrejavilciauskaite5422]

Completely lost sense of friendship,meaning of connection,sense of self.I’ve been going through a lot of anxiety which sometimes even feels like dying,but this helped me a lot,it feels like my inner self has been searching for some type of reassurance like this,thank you and god bless you.

I've gone through cycles of this over the years. It lasts a couple of months up to a couple of years, and then went into the void. Went back and forth for about 15 years. Recently started feeling more grounded, and started moving into a place of peace with myself

[@kallimiddlestetter207]

I started crying tears of joy at this video. Thank you. It’s been years for me, and the way I’ve thought of it, it was like I recognized the spiritual awakening at one point and then I “fell back asleep for awhile” but now I realize this was the ego freak out. It’s happened in different stages for me, I began asking myself the question 3 years ago, who am I? I had lost interest in everything I used to love, and it hit me especially hard when I realized I couldn’t answer any single question about myself: what’s my favorite color, what’s my taste in decor or fashion, what’s my favorite music? I felt like I didn’t know who I was. I also had the mirror thing happen, looked into my bathroom mirror one night and it’s not that I didn’t recognize my reflection but that I was suddenly...different. I really LOOKED, into my eyes the way you said you did, and I saw my soul in there too. It was a really powerful moment. It’s not that I didn’t know these concepts already, for the past year I’ve been very slowly moving myself through these things, but something about this video just really resonated with me and I found a lot of joy in that. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@tekirk2884]

very helpful. I had 1.5 years of bliss and now i am going through hell. Thank you for these insights. Will use the tips. 😍😘

[@JTK11]

I agree with you in regards to new ego. I feel the dark night of the soul is like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. I’ve gone through it a few times in the last few years. I’ve learned that when most aspects of my life collapses within the same time frame it’s a huge indicator that my ego is about to go through another transformation.

[@rochellesantos3444]

The hardest thing for me going through the dark night of the Ego 😉 is that I have no patience and I am easily irritable. My emotions are just everywhere 😭 I cry every other night just about. So thank you for this informative video! It really helps with the tips you said.

[@digi222]

Same here! It's very hard to be patient and I cry everyday over the littlest stuff

[@surakshaguragain5538]

When I first watched your video on stages of spiritual awakening, I was going through "bliss". Like you have said in that video, I thought I was never going to be sad again. Few months later, dark night of the soul came in picture. It happened slowly and gradually. Now, 5 months into it, it gets so hard sometimes. Everything I have ever known about myself is seen drifting away from me and it is so much hard to give up control.

[@vinn774]

My dark night (purge stage) lasted a little over 5 years. I didn't realize my ego was in constant battle with my soul. If I had known earlier that I was going through the dark night, I would try to let my ego give up. I am very happy my ego surrendered and I am currently a few weeks in the Void phase.

[@illuminatethemainstream7778]

My life before spirituality for ab 14 years was severe depression, I discovered these spiritual truths and felt them so deeply it lit me up I found a way to shift into bliss. Bliss- when before I never even thought it was possible for me to feel happiness. I was so grateful. I made bad choices during this blissful period bc I thought it was untouchable, I thought I would feel that way for the rest of my life and for the first time I wanted to socialize, I wanted to help people feel the way I did. I didn't know that these choices would eventually cause me to abandon my dedication to my connection. I've now been depressed again for the last 3 years.. I don't think it's a dark night of the soul.. I can't find a path back to that blissful place. I cant feel elevated emotions. It hurts so much. I don't blame anyone not even me for my ignorance but I just don't know how to get out of emotions of suffering and resistance. I'll never stop trying.. I know how good it's possible to feel and I am so grateful for that awareness.

[@theamazingworldofguenthers8424]

I really loved the visualization technique in this video. I've been going through the dark night of the "ego" process and it's been kicking my ass 😂 especially since this is first time being informed of the process of the dark night. Thank you! You're helping greatly and for once in such a long time, I'm holding more hope!

[@bazazzer6582]

Beautifully put…your soul grabs you by the arm and tells you that 'oh yes, you're coming with me'. No negotiations.

[@MamtaMishra-oz1px]

This video has come as a blessing to me cause I too am going through this phase in my life and sometimes it seems really hard to sail through. But now, I know how to keep myself centered, while going through this phase. Thanks once again for the wonderful explanation.

[@swhite8381]

I just wanted to thank you for this video . I had an awakening recently and at first I felt fantastic but it was very short lived . All of a sudden everything felt meaningless and I lost all my drive and ambition. At first I was content with that but quickly I started feeling like something must have gone wrong because I didn’t expect to feel this BLAH. I never have Dark night of the soul much thought because I always imagined it to be a mind thing. When you rephrased it to “ dark night of the ego” that made perfect sense! Of course when the ego starts to die there is a dread type feeling! Thank you thank you for putting this into perspective for me . There is now a light at the end of the tunnel. 🙏🏻

[@GeorgiaGabet-sb7wv]

A lot of people are saying the Dark Night happened after the Bliss- to the point that people might dread the Bliss. I once heard someone say that the Bliss shows us where we are headed, and the Dark Night shows us how much we have yet to do to get there.

[@chantilepessec8327]

I feel like I’ve gone through a number of them in 2018 and the last one was induced from my job... I never thought a job could actually brake my heart and this weekend something in my personal life something triggered another one... I truly want to believe that I am on my right path but there comes a point where you stand and ask how much pain can each person process . I’m getting better of coming through to the light.... and I try very hard to learn from each experience ... sometimes I just feel alone and it’s the loneliness continuously going through this with no one there is starting to get to me

[@Rachel-ej8of]

I feel lost. I'm without my family without my kids. It's been 2 years now transitioning from motherhood to just being on my own. I'm in a another state working and feel lonely without purpose. I cry everyday it seems but I'm fighting my ego and I know this. I bury myself in work and then end up exhausted and in bed for 2 days. I don't like to be around people but I have to for work. I feel like a hermit. And I feel a little crazy. I picked up painting to express my inner feelings and started to feel some kind of accomplishment in my expressions. Even in talking now I feel like I am all over the board with my words.
