Signs your energy may be shifting...you aren't crazy!

[SilverBear]

There are moments in life when something subtle begins to change beneath the surface. You may not be able to explain it logically, but you can feel it. Your emotions shift, your awareness deepens, and the world around you begins to feel a little different.

Many spiritual traditions believe these experiences can be signs that your energy is shifting and that you are moving into a new phase of personal growth.

For the past two weeks my energy has been “off” I am not sure if I am just suffering from seasonal things…this winter has been brutal and we’ve been stuck inside a lot! Or…if it’s all the garbage going on in the world…or if it’s a little of both…but something definitely has been off for me.

So figured I sit with this for a bit and try to dissect it… Maybe I am just becoming more aware of things…I am still unsure yet!

But here are a few things I’ve been experiencing

Unexpected fatigue. And of course – always rule out medical/mundane before looking at things on an energetic level.

When your energy is recalibrating, your body and mind may need more rest than usual. You might feel tired even after a full night’s sleep or find yourself craving quiet time and solitude. This isn’t necessarily something to fight against. Often it’s a signal that your system is processing change and asking you to slow down…even though we’ve been inside a lot…I have been hosting a lot of spiritual events. I thought perhaps my fatigue is just coming from “me being the healer, but never allowing myself to be healed” Like healer burnout.

Another sign can be relationships naturally shifting or fading. As your energy evolves, you may notice that certain friendships or connections no longer feel aligned the way they once did. Conversations may feel forced, or you may feel pulled toward new people who resonate more with who you are becoming. While this can feel bittersweet, it’s often a natural part of growth. I’ve also experienced this over the winter season. I’ve let go of a few longtime friends and a family member…because, well….as I said…it was feeling forced and…no longer felt aligned. It felt more like I had to prepare myself for their interactions rather than feeling excited to spend time with them.

You might also experience heightened intuition or vivid dreams. Many people report stronger gut feelings, sudden insights, or dreams that feel unusually symbolic or meaningful during times of energetic change. Your inner awareness may become louder, guiding you to pay closer attention to your instincts and emotional responses. My intuition has been SPOT on the past month. the most validating was at an ancestor event I hosted. I had something come through from someone in the room…and when I asked the questions, someone responded and I actually freaked her out with what came through because it was so accurate.

Energy shifts don’t always arrive with fireworks or dramatic moments. Often they appear quietly through subtle changes in how you feel, who you connect with, and the way you perceive the world around you. If you notice these signs, it may simply mean you are evolving, releasing what no longer serves you, and making space for something new to enter your life.

Taking time to rest, reflect, and trust your intuition can help you move through these transitions with greater clarity and balance. Sometimes the most powerful transformations begin in the quiet moments when your energy is gently guiding you toward your next chapter.

I have been feeling changes around myself as well. I feel like the changes though are confusing me sometimes but I try to focus on what it is more than just trying to wander about it. Thank you for sharing

I agree, energetic shifts are part of ones journey and path!
As a super introverted person, I´m needing my alone-time to recharge, so this is something I´ve made my peace with. When I was younger, I easily felt guilty for needing that alone-time. Quite some people have turned away from me, but that´s okay.
We grow, we evolve…we learn to rest and be our own best friend and not our own slave.

Manic Monday SilverBear,

Yes, I have been wondering if I was thinking crazy. Thank-you for letting me know it’s okay. So, quick question, is it the season having influence on us? Are we “naturally” inclined to feel a nudge because it is spring?

Well, I have been feeling a few “pushes” here and there. I am glad I am not alone.

I think the seasons do affect people a lot. Winter is a time for rest and renewal…and well, because we have to work…and some have to work a lot to make ends meet…most people never (can’t) follow the cycles.

Nothing in nature blooms all year round…and neither should we

Thank you for your post — I also thought it was “just us.” It has been a rough year for us with multiple family issues and personal health requiring a slower pace and more rest. National and global crises have worsened our anxiety. Our region went into a deep freeze for some time, with snow and ice on top of it. We always felt that winter and its cold, snow, and ice were nature’s way of telling us “Shush with your busyness!! Time to rest and let creation and renewal gestate for rebirths. Your plans will wait until the blossoms are ready!” In this world, easier said than done to follow the cycles of the seasons.

Happy New Moon

There have been some significant changes in my life over the last 4 years my own Mother’s passing, my Mother-In-Law passing at the same time and date of my Mother’s funeral 22nd October. I knew straight away when the telephone rang I had sensed that something was not right all day. I also knew when my best friend’s Father recently passed i was sitting on the sofa and my fine chained necklace which was my Mother’s dropped onto the floor five minutes later my friend arrived.

I relocated to a new office a year ago today! It was like starting a new job as I have gone from being in an office on my own to an open plan office with 80 staff. I have set up a little area on desk with 3 crystal spheres, plant and aromatherapy oil diffuser it has grounded me and I have adjusted.

My Husband left his current employer just before the Christmas break after 36 years. He was unhappy and was constantly stressed and I knew for his health it was the right even though we would take a financial hit. He has had a lot of health issues, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and he is in pain everyday. I have done some spell jars/candle/crystal rituals to try to help him keeping positive and charging them both in the sun and moon.

I have always had a strained relationship with Father since the age of 12. My parents eventually divorce when I was in my 20’s. I tried my best to repair our relationship. I love my Father but do not like him as a person. He plays mind games and lies. The last straw was in December after his latest lie (which my Brother told me). My last conversation in December was that I would see him in January. He never came. I know he is alright as my Brother would ring. He is avoiding me. I made the difficult decision not to contact him as I cannot continue with rejection after rejection even though I accepted his new wife (she has since passed), there are numerous lies over the years which I have forgiven. As the months have passed I am more comfortable not worrying if he will come (he would keep looking at his watch) and I knew that he really does not want to come. I look so much like my Mother I think he is uncomfortable and I am a reminder. I need peace and closure so I have let him go to enjoy the rest of his life with love I have accepted it and I am content with it. He is very close to my Brother so Ali know he will be looked after.

Also in December after numerous unexplained events with my Mother’s passing ie, my Brother had taken by mistake my Mother’s engagement ring and other jewellery to sell them and the shop owner refused to take it even though it was the most expensive ring that my Mother owned. The shop owner said that it belonged to someone else. My Mother told me that I was to inherit it and I was not aware it had been put in with the other Jewellery.

I started thinking and reflecting on my past and my Husband reminded me about our last Holiday to Zakynthos when two strangers came up to me saying that I am not using my gifts. I decided to just look over Christmas on the internet and found Spells8. I was a little apprehensive mostly because of my childhood out of body experiences etc. I decided just to do the Wicca Self Initiation. I then joined you all and have found my home. My Husband has noticed a difference in me, happier and more content and is very supportive.

I do think that we are nudged to change with signs keep repeating until we eventually notice sometimes it takes years to accept as we live busy lives and drown out everything that is trying to get our attention. If we do not grow and change we will always wonder. I am happier and looking to exploring further to see how I may develop.

Blessed be​
