Entering the arena for Ascension.

There is a lot of information about ascension symptoms. I can tick the list for most of them. The bloatedness around my belly has only just begun to subside, after nearly two years. Recently I had what felt like a heart attack and intense burning in my entire ribcage.  Thankfully I was aware it was some major heart chakra kundalini stuff. I know this because it was completely gone the next day, leaving me feeling so MUCH better than I had ever been before all this ascension blitz came into my life.

I recognise now that I had embarked on my journey nearly 30 years ago but my full scale emergence into healing and "there's got to be something better" really only began in 1998.

Each night for the last 3 years or so,  I have been waking at a time between  2.30 and 3.00am.  I eventually discovered I was able to get grounded again and back to sleep if I had some chocolate.

In the last year I realise that I don't even look at the clock anymore, the times are altering, and, these wakenings seem to be different, in that they are induced by intense heat and sweating like a sudden thermostat malfunction. The inner heat generated can feel like when you step off a plane into an extremely hot country.  The difference in temperature between this and what is your "normal" temperature, takes you by surprise each time. For these intense nocturnal temperature hits, I keep a stash of chocolate on stand by, to add some currency (calories)  to the biological process.  It seems to help, somehow, by eating something that is grounding and follow this by several large swigs of water. I usually go easily back to sleep.

It is becoming so, that more and more people will be encountering these symptoms. There is already a large body of work written by people that are accustomed to and perhaps are even emerging from this stage of ascension and entering into the next stages. There is personal ascension, collective ascension and planetary ascension, and guess what, we are involved in it all.

We are all at different speeds because we all have entered the arena with a different caseload. There is no hierarchy: its just different tracks, same direction.

Here is some great writing on the subject by Denise Le Fey, if you are just entering the arena, this will give you a heads up.

Also I like this following piece, as it explains little more about the bigger picture.
Taken straight From CONSCIOUSNESS EVOLVING.COM.

Ascension is about the bringing of layers of light and energy, anchoring them into the physical plane of reality. Simultaneously, Ascension is a shift in energetic frequency patterns, which, when absorbed and activated into the layers of the human bio-energetic field with its DNA template, affects our whole beingness.

This sets in motion a chain of events that creates a complete transformation and transmutation of various patterns and programs held in the energetic templates of your particular Soul’s journey within your own evolutionary cycle, and with it some or many of the physical ascension-symptoms.

When activated, (usually through life experiences – either dramatically painful or exquisitely joyful) these patterns begin to shift, re-emerge and clear from the layers of experiences from all previous lifetimes which have been coded into every cell and memory pattern and held as an energetic vibration within your body.

This particular vibrational pattern has brought to you all the experiences up until now, using the various laws of attraction.

As we shift our energy, through the choices we make during our crossroad experiences, all the perceptions of our reality will also change so that the new experiences, corresponding to the new vibrational alignment will come into being.

This also means the perception of your spatial awareness, your relationship to time and space will also change rather dramatically as you then simultaneously also experience some of the ascension-symptoms.

“Surrender” and “Acceptance” are two main characteristics you will need to allow to permeate through you to facilitate an easier time during the transition and making of choices.

During this spiritual awakening (new or as part of your existing journey) you may become aware of the beliefs and behaviours that exist as imbalances within you, and you must take the appropriate steps to clear them. This process will bring your deepest fears, beliefs of limitation and old pain patterns to the surface through events that trigger them into your awareness so that you can consciously acknowledge, resolve and heal them.

Some of these issues are ancestral or inherited in their nature and may feel rather odd yet familiar when they are is brought to your awareness. It is important to remember that we are not only clearing our own individual “mind” grid, but also the karmic mind and collective consciousness of all who share this time with us.

By doing this clearing repeatedly, (use the Ho'oponopono principle for example to clear ascension-symptoms fast) you clear your emotional and energy bodies of the long held traumas, beliefs and fears, especicially the ones that are lying deeply buried in your subconscious, that have impeded your ability to experience all the joy you are capable of. Once the emotional body is cleared of an old pain or trauma, the physical body simultaneously clears itself of the equivalent of that block, your ascension-symptoms may go away for a while and it also clears all the patterns from the soul’s cellular memory.

Also, as these painful patterns are removed from the soul record, the clearing recodes your DNA so it can hold more light, thus sustaining your new frequency and a state of increasing higher consciousness. As you hold this greater light and advanced genetic package in your bio-energy field, it enables others, through the principle of resonance, to vibrate at the increased frequency rate and activate their own inner potential and divine inheritance towards Ascension.

As emotional clearing is the main process and emotional pain and imbalances are responsible for your states of "dis-ease" you may experience illness or physical releases of pain (ascension-symptoms) clearing from your body.

Ascension-symptoms as reflection of transformation

Many people going through these transmutational phases feel that something is very wrong in what is happening to them because of the extreme physical dis-ease (ascension-symptoms) they are experiencing.

Many of the ascension-symptoms are vague to describe and inexpressible in linear thought and language. When they go to doctors, they are being told to take drugs or they are being instructed to seek professional psychological help.

This does not suggest that all professional help must be negated, but rather that you must follow your own inner guidance on how to proceed with what is occurring within your physical and energy body systems.

Ascension-symptoms which may appear :

• ·Cranial pressure and headaches:When the crown chakra opens or expands it can be an intense and painful experience. Headaches are common and they can range from migraines, to cluster headaches. Women seem to experience them more than men. They can be caused by too much energy flowing through the crown chakra, and by hormonal changes which occurs when the chakras are stimulated.
  As your vibrational rate increases, the pineal and the pituitary glands expand to accommodate the higher energy frequencies. Other glands change also, but these two are the major ones that contribute to headaches. This can last a few months, or a few years depending on what level of spiritual development that you are at and your rate of growth

• ·Extreme fatigue:Waking in the morning and struggle to get out of bed after a full night of sleep, or falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon is common. This is caused when the energy is shifting throughout the whole spiritual body. This will pass in time, each person has a different time frame - for some it can be weeks, for others months, for others years. Drink lots of pure water to hydrate the cells, add crystals to energize the water.
• ·Heating up of the physical body experienced as hot flashes and sweats:These are commonly experienced by both men and women. This is due to energy flowing too quickly through the body, hormonal changes, which men have too, and the body learning to adjust to the higher vibratory rate.

• ·Nausea and dizziness:This is a common reaction when the solar plexus chakra opens and releases the stored fear, anger and resentment which are held in that area. Karmic and family issues will produce gas.
• ·Irritability, feeling emotionally unstable, vulnerable and crying for no reason, feeling out of sorts: When blockages from this lifetime, and other lifetimes begin to release, the emotional body will react in this manner. Trying to control or resists these urges further represses and blocks the energy making things more difficult. Crying, moaning, sobbing or toning becomes a cleansing release
• ·Change in sleep patterns:Sleeplessness, a "triad" sleep pattern (waking up every 3 hours) or interrupted sleep as you are being recalibrated and worked on energetically at night. This adds to your being restless and tired in the morning.
• ·Joint pain, body aches, muscle pains
• ·Muscle cramps in legs and calves and shoulders:It may be useful to supplement with magnesium, calcium and the appropriate tissue salts.
• ·Flu-like symptoms:This is quite common and part of the process. Just ride it out and try not to take antibiotics which will only prolong the process. These symptoms are caused by the physical body’s reaction to the toxins that are released when the chakrasbegin to expand. Whatever was constricting or congesting in the chakras is flushed through the blood. It is helpful to supplement the body with blood fortifying enzymes, herbs and essential oils to ease the symptoms. Hot lemon drinks will also help cleanse the body. Don't work too much during this time, because you are going through a major shift in vibration. Try and take it easy, and it will pass.

• Kundalini experiences:Self-realization, enlightenment, God-consciousness, kundalini awakening are all the same thing, and self-inquiring meditation can be helpful. The kundalini can awaken spontaneously, for no obvious reason or triggered by intense personal experiences such as accidents, near death experiences, trauma, etc.It is always an intense experience which will then flow into new life patterns. 

Common signs of Kundalini awakening are:

1. Involuntary jerks, tremors, shaking, itching, tingling, and crawling sensations, especially in the arms and legs
2. Energy rushes or feelings of electricity circulating the body
3. Intense heat (sweating) or cold, especially as energy is experienced passing through the chakras.
4. Visions or sounds at times associated with a particular chakra
5. Diminished or conversely extreme sexual desire sometimes leading to a state of constant or whole-body orgasm
6. Headache, migraine, or pressure inside the skull
7. Increased blood pressure and irregular heartbeat
8. Antisocial tendencies
9. Mood swings with periods of depression or mania
10. Pains in different areas of the body, especially back and neck
11. Sensitivity to light, sound, and touch
12. Trance-like and altered states of consciousness
13. Disrupted sleep pattern (periods of insomnia or oversleeping)
14. Loss of appetite
15. Bliss, feelings of infinite love and universal connectivity, transcendent awareness

• ·Changes with body and head hair

• ·Lack of the ability to concentrate
• ·The feeling that you cannot accomplish anything because there is not enough time
• ·Depression: A very common symptom caused by an increased rate of vibration. This higher frequency forces any illnesses, viruses, or infections hiding in the body to surface. To discover the root-cause contributing to this state examine your beliefs and decisions that are creating your reality. It is also important to monitor your internal dialogue to learn what you are creating for yourself. The herb "St. Johns Wart" eases depression and is anti-viral too.

• Pain in the heart area, or breathing problems:This symptom is experienced when the heart chakra begins to open or enlarge to receive more energy. Pain sensations in the heart and not being able to breathe can be very frightening because you may think you are having a heart attack. The above symptoms are caused by the expansion of energy running through your solar plexus and heart chakra (heart and stomach area). The best solution is to relax which will adjust the energy flow. Anxiety and fear only constricts the energy, causing a more severe reaction. This is a normal experience when undergoing a frequency increase. If it eases your mind – have it checked out by your doctor.

• Weight gain:This is a very common complaint. In changing the energy patterns of your body, additional water is needed to accommodate the flow of energy. If you don’t have enough water the body will store water, which ultimately leads to stagnation.Another major factor is that with the activation of new DNA, fat is needed to hold the vibration. Body fat holds a higher vibration which is necessary to generate healing and channeling energy. Many of you have agreed to anchor grids of light in the areas surrounding where you live. Anchoring these grids require body fat to help hold the energy. In becoming crystalline, the body fat is evenly distributed around every cell. This allows the entire body to act as a tuning fork to hold a new vibration..

• ·Extreme sensitivity: As you open up to the higher vibration, you will find yourself becoming extremely sensitive to people, noises, light, smells, tastes, all sorts of sensory awareness.. This can affect the central nervous system and can be quite a difficult thing to cope with. It may help to take B vitamins and a multi vitamin if this is happening to you.

• ·Blowing light bulbs and electronics: If this is happening to you, then you are really reaching a very high vibratory rate and will probably be a profound healer or channel for spirit. It is due to extremely high energy coming into the physical form. It could be described as 50,000 volts of electricity coming in at once, not only can the body not cope, but it goes through the body and out again and as it does so, it affects all electronic equipment.
