The 4 stages of spiritual awakening (and where you are right now) 🎧

Hi Reader,

I'm thrilled to share my latest recording of Don't Step on the Bluebells with you. This episode is all about The Four Stages of Spiritual Awakening and what I call The Awakening Framework—the roadmap I desperately wish I'd had eight years ago.

For years, I searched for information that could help me understand what was happening to me, only to find fragments, disconnected ideas, or spiritual platitudes that didn't land. I struggled to find the words to describe my experience, and I hardly knew anyone who really got what I was talking about. It was confusing and isolating. But I never gave up my search for understanding—a hunger that continues even today.

It wasn't until a conversation with Teo Alfero that someone finally explained there was a nearly logical, repeatable process of awakening—and that being lost and uncertain in the early stages is normal. That conversation helped me see that while awakening is deeply individual, there are stages we all move through. Knowing what those stages are changes everything.

In this episode, I share:

• The four stages of spiritual awakening—The Call, The Quest, Embodiment, and Mastery—and how to recognize which one you're in right now
• Why the Quest phase can (and often does) take years, and why that's not a sign you're failing
• The exact moment my Reiki attunement in Thailand cracked open a reality I didn't yet have words for
• How to shift from endlessly seeking teachers and tools to finally living the wisdom you've already gathered
• What mastery actually means (hint: it's not perfection, it's feeling at home in yourself—even when the next Call arrives)

As I share in this episode: "Most of us embark on a journey of awakening because we can no longer tolerate the life that we're living. You already know too much. You have cracked open to something new that most of the people you know may not have."

If any part of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a DM on Instagram @amandaparker.co and tell me: which stage are you in right now, and what's one challenge you're facing? Your story may be the mirror someone else has been waiting for.

With love,

Amanda
