Spiritual awakening is often treated as a destination or a reward given to those who religiously meditate and constantly work to relinquish toxic thoughts and emotions. But the truth is there’s no finish line or gold at the end of this journey because the journey never ends. Living fluidly means you understand life is a journey, that the peaks and valleys are simply apart of the adventure. Spiritual awakening happens when we move with the ebb and flow of life.
When our time as a caterpillar has expired we know it time to spread out wings. We have compiled a list of spiritual awakening quotes that celebrate the journey.
Spiritual Awakening Quotes

8. Honoring nourishment
Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?” ― D.T. Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture

I am attracted to intelligence, a witty sense of humor, an adventurous outlook on life and spiritual awareness about one’s self and the world.” – Tanit Phoenix
11. Owning your story
Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ― Brené Brown
12. Gratitude
Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one’s voice.” – Joseph B. Wirthlin

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” – Mahatma Gandhi
17. Growth
“No one is ever a victim of life; we are all volunteering to grow.” ― Shannon L. Alder
18. Interconnectedness
As has been pointed out, all things appear and disappear because of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else. Wherever there is light, there is shadow; wherever there is length, there is shortness; wherever there is white, there is black. Just like these, as the self-nature of things cannot exist alone, they are called non-substantial.” by Bukkyo Dendo Kyonkai
