I have previously introduced many benefits of meditation and have been practicing it around the world 🧘, especially in regions with strong magnetic field energy. Today, I will talk about the experience of awakening through meditation.
After awakening, I learned how to exist silently.
I once thought awakening was a brilliant arrival. But that is not the case. The father of psychology, Carl Jung, believed: "Awakening is not the end, but the beginning of psychological death." It is a rebirth of a new spiritual body.
At that moment, everything seemed clear, and the chaotic world came to a standstill; everything was so clear it brought me to tears. I stood on the peak of my inner mountain, watching the fears, obsessions, and desires that had troubled me for decades dissolve one by one. I felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.
However, I did not expect that true practice—only began at that moment.
Awakening is not the end, but the prelude to psychological death.
I began to enter a deep period of emptiness. The colors of life faded away; there were no strong pursuits or clear goals. It was not that I lost motivation, but that the drive stemming from the "small self" had extinguished. In meditation, I felt an almost religious sense of "void," quiet and immense, as if my soul was placed in a cocoon, with nowhere to escape, yet no need to escape.
Jung referred to this as the inevitable phase of oppositional transformation in the "individuation journey." The old "personality mask" began to peel away; the self no longer relied on social roles, external recognition, or habitual striving goals. This was not depression—it was a sacred reconstruction.
Meditation taught me: no longer to seek motivation, but to wait for the call.
During this seemingly stagnant phase, I still sat down every day, closed my eyes, breathed, and calmed my mind. I no longer expected miracles from meditation, nor hoped to gain liberation, answers, or inspiration from it. I simply sat, learning to be with myself, allowing this "I" to melt, blur, and even momentarily lose weight.
Sometimes I would feel pain in meditation, not physical, but the unease of existence itself. I learned not to avoid it, but to open my body and mind to accept it. Every moment of stillness was an invitation from my soul to a new self.
The source of motivation began to shift towards "inner calling."
I no longer enthusiastically set goals, nor was I obsessed with completing KPI-style practice schedules. Now, the only reason I do something is that it makes me feel "integrated" rather than fragmented. I no longer strive to become someone; instead, I express who I already am through my actions.
At this stage, meditation is not just a practice, but a way of life. It allows me to stay in the present, feel the gentle breeze of intuition passing by, not rushing to choose, nor fearing temporary silence.
Surrendering is not giving up, but trusting the rhythm of the soul.
In the past, I was used to dominating my life, making plans, and chasing achievements. But now, I begin to understand that "surrender" is not passive acceptance, but an inner wisdom that flows with the current. I learned not to cling to controlling the future, but to ask myself every day:
"What is the thing I most sincerely want to do right now?"
Sometimes it is writing a piece of text, sometimes brewing a cup of tea, sometimes digging into financial data, sometimes climbing a mountain. It is not inaction, but a return to existence itself.
The "loss" after awakening is the prelude to grace.
After awakening, you no longer enjoy urban life, no longer like the complexities; everything is simple, plain, and calm.
Losing the desire for external success, losing the habit of pleasing others, losing the obsession with identity labels—these all once confused and frightened me. But slowly, I began to see new possibilities: a quiet fire ignited from deep within. It is not like the old wildfires, restless and fierce, but gentle, rhythmic, and everlasting.
I began to understand: awakening is to become my true self, not a better self.
Who I am is no longer defined by the world, but by my relationship with the truth.
Meditation is my way of conversing with myself every day. The silence after awakening paves the way for true power. This power does not require me to conquer the world, but to exist peacefully within it, express myself authentically, and create continuously—not to be seen, but to respond to the essential call of life.
May all of you who feel stuck on the path of awakening know that you are not alone. The void is not the end, but the womb where stars are nurtured. As long as you continue to dwell in the present, everything will quietly unfold when the soul is ready deep within.
Meditation is a powerful tool for ordinary people to maximize their spiritual strength, allowing one to gain inner freedom and tranquility in a chaotic world. I hope that you, upon reading this essay, can also improve and join in! 🙏 Grateful!
