Do you catch yourself falling asleep or feeling fatigued after reading or listening to advanced spiritual concepts? Do you experience fevers or sinus issues in the week leading to an expansive workshop, or perhaps feel like you're coming down with the flu before, during, or immediately after an event? These are all signs you are are in fact experiencing what many refer to as ascension symptoms.


A few weeks ago, I attended the Channel Panel in Sedona Arizona along with hundreds of others on their spiritual path. I had just made it through the holidays completely unscathed while everyone around me experienced fevers, sinus infections, stomach bugs, and/or strep throat. However, when I woke up the morning of the Channel Panel, I felt like I came down with a head cold. As the day continued, I felt worse and worse, and eventually developed a fever. I'm very conscious of subconscious programming, regularly working with my body to keep my immune system strong and healthy, yet I noticed a pattern that anytime I attend or host events of a spiritual nature I consistently feel like I've been hit by a truck.


Why Does This Happen?


There are several explanations as to why you may have this experience, and each time may have a different cause. Just because you feel sick, doesn't mean it's always ascension symptoms. Below are several reasons for getting sick:


1) You're Immune System is Stressed


This information wouldn't feel complete if I didn't address the most common reason behind getting sick. There is much research out there about how the vast majority of people are deficient in vitamin D, and how this impacts immunity. In the body, everything is interconnected. For example, if you're low in vitamin D that impacts your body's ability to absorb other vitamins such as calcium. Calcium plays an important role in your body's response to infection. Iron is another example of a mineral that is needed for a healthy immune response, and its absorption from food is drastically reduced while your body is caffeinated. Zinc can also be negatively influenced by other foods in your diet, such as corn, cereal, and rice because of the phytate in those household staples. I'm not a doctor, so speak with the right professional for you if changing your diet or lifestyle.


On a physical level, by adding nutrients and reducing our consumption of items that negatively impact our body's ability to absorb and retain the vitamins and minerals it needs to function optimally, we can drastically improve our overall wellbeing. I encourage you to do your own research and discover how you can better support your immune system before assuming the issue is nonphysical.


Many of our health problems would vanish if on a societal level we all had ease of access to a whole food, unprocessed diet. Real food not only has the most nutritional value, but consuming it in its purest form shortly after harvest allows us to absorb more life force energy from that food. This leads me to my next point where we will talk about why your body must detox anything not a vibrational match for you.


2) You Are Detoxing


As your vibration fluctuates, the food you are attracted to will reflect that. I notice when my vibration is higher, I typically have stronger cravings for nutritional density, and experience disinterest more processed foods. In preparation for new upgrades and high vibe events like the Channel Panel, I subconsciously begin raising my frequency slightly higher than it normally is. This requires anything within my body that is not a resonant match to leave through the process of detoxing. While my vegan diet is already very clean and supportive of my typical frequency setpoint, when my frequency is raised I have to purify what I consume to an even higher degree so that as the detox is initiated, it isn’t overloaded. If it gets overloaded, that’s when my immune system will kick in (ie: fever, increased mucus production, etc.). Hence, ascension symptoms.


This was the main reason why I felt sick when I woke up the morning of the Channel Panel. The night before, my fiancé and I found a Pac Man machine inside of a restaurant and because that gave me feelings of nostalgia, I said yes when the restaurant owner offered me a free soda. I don't typically consume pop, so instead of my body being able to use its energy for a side effect-free detox, it had to drop all the other tasks to prioritize removing that can of Dr. Pepper from my system, which triggered a strong response from my immune system. I had no idea at the time this is how it worked. Lesson learned.


To support your detox, especially if you have something coming up or you're noticing a change in your vibrational setpoint, you can start by increasing water intake, sunshine exposure, and time in nature. Depending on where you're at in your journey, you'll intuitively know what foods are best for you and which to say no to. What I do a juice or smoothie diet a few days leading up to an event, brew some stinging nettle overnight, and introduce other detox supporters like dandelion tea. I've noticed a huge difference in my mood, energy levels, and frequency when my body isn't bogged down my processed foods that aren't a match for me.


As the solar flares lift the frequency of the planet, everything is beginning to vibrate faster. Anything that cannot hold that frequency has to spin off, shed, and detox out of our experience. More and more of the collective will go through through as we prepare our bodies to hold more light.


3) You Have an Unconscious Intention Making You Sick


Intention creates reality. Sometimes we have intentions that manifest in ways that aren't pleasant in the moment, but are serving on a larger scale than we realize.


As an example of this, I'll share a personal story from a few years ago with you. My youngest step-daughter came down with a really bad cold out of nowhere in the middle of the summer. That night while tucking her in, I asked her if she wanted me to run energy healing on her sickness. She yes said, and I programmed a template to clear her body of any viruses, bacteria, and infections for the next 24 hours. I figured it would also be a good idea to program the same energetic support for her sister. The next day, the youngest recovered fully so we were able to follow through with our plan to take them to the beach. Unfortunately, my eldest ended up stepping on a rusty 3 inch screw that went all the way into her heel. After leaving the ER, we found out she was extremely lucky as it missed her major artery and showed no sign of infection. A day or two later my guides shared with me that on a higher level, the youngest agreed to get sick for one day so that I would have reason to program the template on the eldest, knowing the screw was manifested to occur the following day. Incredible, right? When I found that out, I started crying in appreciation for the roles we all serve without any knowing on our part. I made sure to let them know the beautiful thing that just occurred, and how we are always being taken care of.


Furthermore, the reason the screw situation happened was because in a past-life where there was the same father-daughter dynamic between the two, the eldest bled out and died in my fiancé's arms. Some of that pain and fear was still influencing them in this life, and therefore they needed something similar to occur in order to release the charge of that trauma. While I drove, he held her in his arms in back seat on his lap the entire way to the hospital... unconsciously recreating a scene they'd been in before. This helped them both in many ways that are personal to them.


Traumas from other lifetimes can affect us in this life. I have had many lifetimes where I experienced persecution, torture, and murder. Knowing that, this is always something I check in with myself about to ask if I'm subconsciously self-sabotaging in someway because of the fear of history repeating itself. It's an important question to consider. If you're unsure of your past-lives, or want to practice tapping into them, I regularly host group regression throughout the year. Check out my events page for more info.


Finally, another way you may unintentionally allowing yourself to get sick is through subconscious programming. This presents as the idea that if I'm around others who are sick, I can also get sick or the idea that I always get sick when ___ (fill in the blank). You are in command of your body. You and only you. If you give your power away to forces outside of you, like societal programming, entities, people, or places then your body will follow your instruction to let those defaults take over command. Take some time to inquire about where you may have abnegated your authority. When you're ready, using the power of your certainty take that command back. It can be something as simple as saying to your body, "No, you don't listen to that, it is my voice and my voice alone you respond to. I am in command again". The words don't matter, it's the clarity of your intention that your body will respond to.


There are infinite reasons why you may be getting sick. It could be because it's keeping you from experiencing something worse, it could be that it's karma working itself out to release old energy, it could be subconscious belief patterns or programs that need some attention. It is always in service of moving you into greater levels of sovereignty.


4) You Have an Ability to Transmute Energy


Another less common explanation for feeling fatigued and depleted after attending an event or workshop is that you may have the gift of transmuting and shifting the energy fields of people, places, and things.


The way this was explained to me was that my field acts as a vacuum that helps remove anything that others are ready to release, as soon as they come within a certain distance from me. This also contributed to my symptoms of fatigue and exhaustion that day only because I wasn't "emptying the vacuum" so to speak. I discovered the following day, if I took 15 minute breaks every few hours to go sit outside in the sun and ground, all of that energy would flush out of me and my fever would vanish.


If you're someone who loves extracting the wisdom offered by shadow work, that is a good sign you have the divine gift of transmuting negative energy. Not everyone has this ability, and not everyone needs to. However, if you do it's important you allow that energy to flush out of you into the Earth. There are supportive beings who will take it from there.


Ascension Symptoms Summary


Feeling fatigue, sickness, or flu-like symptoms can be a sign that your frequency is changing. A strong immune system, personal authority, and trust that your highest good is being considered, all support you moving into new stages of empowerment.

Understanding this can help you better understand your own journey of ascension.
