What is going on with me? Spiritual Awakening??

Hello all, I have been browsing on this site for a while. I have not been feeling like myself lately and I do not know what is going on. I'm hoping that someone can help me or at least calm my fears.

I am 18 years old, a freshman in college; I have always been interested in and researched/dabbled in all kinds of things like meditation, auras, chakras, astral projection and esp since the beginning of high school. I used to meditate heavily in high school until I began college last summer and stopped. Since then, I feel like I've lost my "connection", but it hasn't bothered me since I've been so busy with college and socializing, etc.

But lately, I have not been feeling well at all. It's very weird because my last semester was much harder than this semester and I handled it fairly well. I have a light load of classes this semester, so I don't know what could be stressing me out. I went to a counselor recently and have been told that it's just normal anxiety that I'm having, but I feel that it's something related to my spirituality.

I am very emotional, I don't feel like myself, I am very antsy, I feel very confused and I really want help from a higher power (spirit guide, etc) or even have a spiritual mentor (but I don't know where to find one). I've been re-evaluating some of my relationships with people - but they haven't done anything to me! I feel that this is the only place I can really go, to get answers or some guidance to figure out what's going on. After the counseling session, I decided to start back meditating. I ended up hearing a voice telling me that, "you are going through a change", "everything is okay".

What is going on? Is that true? What can I do to stop feeling like this? I am hoping that someone can reply, because I am very scared of what is happening. I have never felt this way before.

You might be going through kundalini awakening/spiritual emergence...

I have heard about this a little, but never really looked into it. Do you have any personal experience with that? Would you be comfortable telling me about it?

Have you read about being an Empath?

Aeriss there can be many different reasons for why you feel as you do, I'm glad you are having counselling as that can be enormously helpful for sifting out your thoughts.

You may also want to check out for physical issues as well, as I say there can be many different reasons - nutrition, lack of sunlight - both of these can cause some really harsh symptoms that you might not expect.

And indeed the psychic awareness - well that can take a while to unfold - so it's worth journaling your thoughts and awarenesses and seeing if there is a theme, what makes your soul sing and what depletes your soul.

It's a tough time tho, the dark night of the soul, but admitting it is a great step forwards to unravelling it.

Yes your going through a major shift and change for your personal growth..the voice is reasurring you, so always listen to what comes in your meditations to receive your guidance.

There is a great deal of confusion around you and this confusion will last for some time while you delve through a great deal of hidden emotions connecting to your anxiety. This shift is major for your life ahead, so if you can focus on this space as being a shift, not a space you have to stay stuck in. Give yourself time to rest and spend lots of time in nature to recoup and recharge while your emotional unrest is coming up. Finding peace in time will come for you, but the growth will need to be faced..

Thanks everyone for the replies....It's comforting to hear from other people about this. I will make sure to follow your suggestions, look into and research a few things and take it easy. :)

Keep going with the flow and learn from your thoughts, eventually things will hopefully fall into place for you.

Oh and you haven't had any major diet changes have you? Or taking any kinds of medications now right?
