ARTICLE: THE ASCENSION SYMPTOMS

from The Ascension Primer (www.whatsuponplanetearth.com)

16. Night sweats and hot flashes. During certain phases of ascension
our bodies suddenly decide that they are going to burn off the lower
and denser aspects of ourselves. You may wake up in the night soaking
wet or become very hot during the day. It may be 35 degrees outside,
but you are just fine and dandy in your short sleeves.

17. Feeling cold with an inability to get warm.

When we are moving into a much higher dimension after much
integrating, detoxing, and other ascension processes, we get very
cold. We are in between and preparing to move up. At these times, it
can be very difficult to warm up no matter what you do. I usually
submerge myself in a tub of hot water and then get under a heavy
comforter.

18. Vivid, wild and sometimes violent dreams.

We are releasing many lifetimes of lower vibrational energy through
our dreams. If you are one who usually receives their higher
information through dreams, you will most likely do a lot of
releasing at night. I consider you to be lucky, as some are doing
much of their releasing while they are wide awake. These dreams
usually do not make sense, but if you are good at dream analysis you
can usually figure them out. These acid-trip like dreams are up and
visible because they contain energy that is on its' way out, never to
return.

Through this process, we are releasing all of our past lives.

19. Dizziness, loss of balance, vertigo, and spinning. The definition
of Merkabah is: Counter rotating fields of light surrounding the
spirit/body which serve to transport the spirit/body from one
dimension to another. And this is precisely what is occurring. As we
connect to our light bodies and begin moving into a higher dimension,
we begin spinning and can experience vertigo and dizziness. If you
know that this symptom indicates that something wonderful is
occurring, it can feel great and actually be quite fun...like a
roller coaster ride.

20. Overall body pain and days of extreme fatigue. Our bodies are
morphing into a crystalline form in order to enable us to reside in
the higher realms and to continually be able to receive the higher
light.

This process is on-going as it cannot happen overnight.

If you feel as though you are 100 years old and barely able to walk
across a room, this is why. Continual fatigue is also an on-going
symptom for the same reasons. We are losing our density and going
through extreme restructuring.

21. Severe bloating and indigestion. When the energy surges occur,
many experience severe bloating as they are greatly expanding. This
can be on-going but is intermittent.

22. Memory loss and difficulty accessing words. So many are having
this symptom that we can only laugh as we try to converse with each
other. "I was having a glass of...you know what I mean...that white
stuff...uh...what's it called?" "Did you watch the...er...that event
where everyone competes from around the world?" At times we cannot
even talk at all because we are simply unable to access much of
anything. When this occurs, you are going back and forth between
dimensions and experiencing a disconnect. Another somewhat related
occurrence is trying to type words and having the letters become
jumbled in the wrong order. In this case, we are not in alignment
with time and our flow is disconnected as part of our energy is here
and another part is further ahead.

23. Difficulty remembering what you did or who you talked to a day or
sometimes just an hour before. In the higher realms, reality is very
much in the moment. If we do not hold something in our consciousness,
it simply ceases to exist. We have no attachments. We are creating
our own world around us through our beliefs and thoughts and what we
do not hold onto does not exist. Everything is brand new as we are
starting completely over, moment to moment. We can tap into whatever
we choose to at any moment and create and experience just that. This
state comes and goes, but is practice for living in the higher
realms. It can feel a bit creepy when it occurs. In addition, at
times we are neither here nor there, as we are in between dimensions.
This phenomenon can occur at this time as well.

24. Not remembering the meaning of

anything. When I was in an intense period of the transitional process
and we were in the throws of a substantial energy thrust into the
higher realms, I remember looking at a trashcan and not knowing what
it was for. I had to access my memory of the "old" and reach far.
What was happening was that I was vibrating at a point where
everything possesses only the meaning and identity that we give it.
In the higher realms, energy is just energy with no label or meaning.
All is fresh and new. Sort of a Course In Miracles undoing process,
without the trying.

25. A feeling of disorientation; not knowing where you are; a loss of
a sense of place. "Where in the world am I? I do not fit anywhere and
nothing seems to fit or feel remotely right! And I do not know where
I belong or where I am going or what I am supposed to be doing
either!" Ever had this conversation with the universe? You have been
knocked out of your old grooves by an energy shift and are in between
realities. You have successfully left much behind and are in a very
new space but have not integrated yet. You won't have much time to
integrate, though, because as soon as you get comfortable you will be
moving on into the next higher vibrating space.

And in addition, the outside world does not remotely match the way
you are now highly vibrating.

26. A loss of identity. You look in the mirror and have a strange
feeling of disconnect as you no longer recognize that once familiar
image. You almost feel out of body. Once this phenomenon occurs it
never ends.

You have released so much of your ego self, that you are no longer
the same person, and do not have that attachment or connection to
your physical vessel. As you begin to access much more of your soul
or higher self, you are not in your body much. You may still use your
voice to communicate and other bodily aspects, but you are slowly
beginning the process of disappearing and releasing the human form.
In addition, you have cleared much of your old patterns and are now
embodying much more light and a simpler, more purified divine you.
All is in order...you are OK.

27. Feeling "out of body". The same explanation as above. The
physical body is the last to catch up.

Much of us is now in a higher dimension and residing outside of our
bodies, as our bodies are not there yet.

They are much denser.

28. "Seeing" and "hearing" things. As we can now access different
dimensions fairly easily, it is common for many to see things moving
out of the corner of their eyes or hear things when nothing is there.
Many also experience a ringing in the ears, which is common when we
are going through "the tunnel" and accessing a higher dimension.
Depending upon how sensitive you are and how you are wired, this can
become a common experience. Many are seeing orbs and vibrating blobs
of color as well.

29. Heightened sensitivities to your

surroundings. Crowds, noise, foods, TV, other human voices, and
various other stimulations are barely tolerable. You also overwhelm
very easily and become easily overstimulated. You are tuning up! Know
that this will eventually pass. During the ascension process we
become highly sensitive. At one point, I could literally feel the
vibration of the chicken when I tried to eat an egg. In addition, you
may find that you are unable to eat in restaurants or be in a store
and feel like running out of them as fast as you can.

30. Feeling you are going insane, or must be developing a mental
illness of some sort. We are rapidly experiencing several dimensions
and greatly opening. Much is available to us now. You are just not
used to it. Your awareness has been heightened and your barriers are
gone. This will pass and you will eventually feel very at Home like
you have never felt before, as Home is now here.

31. Feeling as though you are looking down a long tunnel in order to
connect to lower vibrations; feeling as though you are acting or
pretending. When we are residing in the higher realms, anything not
there with us may feel far away.

If you are still in a lifestyle where you are regularly interacting
with the outside or old world, you may feel like an actor in a play
or that you are pretending your way through the day. Basically, you
are no longer residing in that world, even though you are still
involved in it.

32. An intolerance for lower vibrational things (of the 3D) reflected
in conversations, attitudes, societal structures, healing modalities,
etc. They literally make you feel "sick" inside. When we begin
arriving in the higher realms and in a higher vibration, our energies
are no longer in alignment with the old outside 3D world. Through a
severe intolerance to the old, we are being "pushed" to move
forward...to be and create the New. In addition, you may feel like
staying home or just being alone as much of everything "out there" no
longer matches the higher vibration of YOU. This is simply a very
common experience of evolution. We are moving forward before the
outside manifestations are. Being in the old can feel downright
awful. It is similar to having to "go back" after you have had a near
death experience. As the ascension process continues, going back to
the lower dimensions will not feel good nor will it be possible for
long, as it is difficult to drop our vibrations down in order to
reside there. This is a simple experience of navigating the
dimensional hierarchies. We will eventually become experts with our
dimensional navigational skills.

33. You don't feel like doing anything. When we feel like this, we
are in a rest period, rebooting.

Your body knows what it needs. During this time you may feel as
though you have lost your passion and joy and don't know what in the
world you want to do with your life and don't really care! This phase
occurs when we are realigning. At higher levels, much is realigning
as well. Things are being put into position so that all will be ready
when you move forward again. In addition, when we begin reaching the
higher realms, doing and making things happen becomes obsolete as the
New energies support the feminine of basking, receiving, creating,
self-care, and nurturing. Ask the Universe to bring you what you want
while you cannot do it for yourself. And know that you are always
being taken care of during the ascension process, even if it does not
feel like it at times. Those in the physical going through this
process are very highly revered by all of the cosmos. We are most
certainly being watched over.

34. A wanting to go "home" as if everything is OVER and you don't
belong here anymore. As we are returning to Source, everything is
over. (But many of us are staying to experience and create the New

World.) Also, our old plans for coming have been completed. We are
basically done with our prior incarnation that involved raising the
frequency of the planet with a goal of reaching critical mass. We
achieved a lot of this through transmuting the darker and denser
energies through ourselves. Now we don't have to do that anymore and
may feel like we simply want out of here and away from that
experience. What is coming next is simply divine and does not
remotely resemble the first phase.

35. A sudden disappearance of friends,

activities, habits, jobs and residences. One of the most basic and
prevalent experiences in the higher realms involves the Law of
Attraction. Like energies always attract like and similar energies.
This relates to the dimensional hierarchies as well. We will always
be matched with what and how we are vibrating. As we go higher and
higher, this phenomenon becomes much more magnified and also becomes
one of the basic cores of our reality and existence. Through the
ascension process, we are evolving beyond what we used to be, and
therefore the people and surroundings that no longer match our
vibration simply leave our space. This can sometimes occur rather
dramatically or at times through a simple desire resulting from an
inability to relate to them like we used to. When an energy shift
occurs, it can feel as though a bomb has been dropped and everything
in our world has been scattered from here to there. Eventually we
realign with the New. When the New arrives, you will feel so-oo- o
much better!

36. You absolutely cannot do certain things anymore. When you try to
do your usual routine and activities, it feels downright awful. Same
as above. You are no longer a fit and it's time to move on to a much
higher vibrating way of living, being, and creating.

37. Your plans suddenly change in midstream and go in a completely
different direction.

When this occurs, your soul is balancing out your energy. It usually
feels great in this new direction, as your soul knows more than you
do! Your soul is breaking your rut choices and vibration. Our souls
always know more than we do. During January of 2006, we experienced
what I dubbed "ascension shock". At higher soul levels we had a
specific plan and timeline. If we were a bit behind, we ended up
experiencing our pre-plan whether we were ready or not. This placed
us in sudden and immediate new circumstances so that we would be
poised for what we needed to do next. I remember suddenly relocating
from Flagstaff, Arizona to a remote small town in Northeastern
Arizona. I new I would be residing there one day, but not yet! As
time passed, I could eventually see how perfect it was, but following
my soul and not my ego was a bit of a challenge. Now I am eternally
grateful and in total bliss."
