The Hermit Phase of Spiritual Awakening

We feel lost, depressed, constantly tired – it’s a lot to deal with.

The hermit phase can be extremely isolating and disorienting, however it can also be a beautiful period of self-discovery.

At the start of the spiritual awakening you had to come to grips with how your old life was in contradiction with your new awareness.

You learn to let go and surrender, accepting what you experiencing rather than avoiding.

You have to let go of the metaphysical chase and be with yourself (and all the emotions that arose) in the moment.

• You lose passion & motivation
• You feel extra sensitive
• You crave solitude
• You’re looking for answers
• You feel intuitively guided

This phase can last for many months or years .

The most important thing to remember when you are going through this phase is that you are not alone. Building community after this phase is so important.

• Acceptance of self
• Deeper relationships
• Integration
• Finding purpose

The hermit phase is extremely common when we are in a transitional phase of our lives, when we are moving homes or on a break from work.

It’s during these times that we have the space to really examine who and what we are, and where we want to go.
