In metaphysical terms, and the world of energy, we’ve been hearing about the concept of Ascension for some time now (basically since the “Shift of 12-21-12″), but what IS Ascension and why is this important to understand?
Quick note: If you missed last week’s blog, I offer an introduction and explain more about why I’m starting this series.
What is Ascension?
Webster says Ascension is “the act or process of moving or rising up, especially to a higher or more powerful position.”
But in terms of what we’re experiencing here in our 3-D world, I believe this is a more inclusive description (compliments of Lisa Renee and Energetic Synthesis):
“The Ascension process is about moving consciousness from one reality to another and the awareness of possible multiple realities existing simultaneously. Since a reality is a dimension, what we are undertaking is, in essence, a complete dimensional shift.”
Now I fully realize this is a lot to chew on, and most of us have a hard enough time living in this one reality much less trying to comprehend what it means to exist in multiple realities simultaneously. So, I’m going to do my best in the next several blog posts to break down this concept in terms we can all comprehend and learn from.
There’s actually incredible irony in the moment I’m writing this because The Matrix is playing in the background on our family television. It’s funny to me that sci-fi movies such as The Matrix series are so intriguing to many of us and, ultimately, become cult classics. It’s almost like roadkill in that there are parts we do not want to look at or see for some innate reason and yet we cannot take our eyes off it.
I believe this is because our higher self or inner self knows there are elements of truth within these movies and they ignite our inner knowledge or remembrance. We watch them as a fun way to get out of our heads and be entertained, yet from a higher perspective we are really downloading some truths from a higher plane of existence.
The goal of this initial series on Ascension is to inform you of the properties of Ascension in understandable terms and ultimately prepare you for what you may possibly encounter physically and emotionally. I’m making a commitment to keep you informed and to help you become empowered and responsible for self. Take only what resonates as truth for your individual journey and either allow the rest to percolate in your subconscious or simply toss out the information totally.
How does Ascension affect us?
As an energy practitioner, I’ve been traversing these Ascension energy shifts now for several years, within my own body as well as working with clients. It’s now time to share not only the knowledge I have gained with others, but also offer tangible strategies to navigate the process.
This is a critical time because certain symptoms are becoming more apparent in almost all my clients, and many are feeling and experiencing similar challenges. Much of the physical and emotional struggles our body and minds encounter during this process can be avoided, or at the very least understood, by a developing an awareness along with learning tactics to keep your auric bodies in alignment with your higher-truth.
Ascension affects our physical bodies
At this point, I’m only going to give a brief summary of potential Ascension symptoms so you can see if you personally resonate with this information.
Some typical Ascension symptoms may include, but are definitely not limited to:
- Cranial pressure and headaches
- Extreme fatigue
- Hot flashing of the physical body, sometimes counteracted with the chills
- Body aches, joint and muscle pain
- Cramps in the legs, calves, shoulders and almost every joint in the human body
- Flu-like symptoms
- Skin rashes or itching
- Sleeplessness and erratic dream states, including lucid dreams
- Feeling of disconnect or not being in body
- Changes of memory and visual states
- Anxiety
- Feelings of vertigo or imbalance of body
Again, this is just a small sampling of potential symptoms. The reality of this process is that our bodies are changing dramatically along with our entire planet and cosmos. If you’re feeling any of these symptoms, I encourage you to read future blogs where I’ll break down body-specific symptoms and offer the How To’s and the What to Do’s. But today, I’d like to further explain the overall concept of Ascension.
Ascension shifts our consciousness
As I continue to write this, The Matrix movie just asked its most famous question – “How do you define real?”
Most of us define reality in our third-dimensional existence by validating truths using basic senses like sight, touch, and sound. But The Matrix sometimes terrifies us because it questions this reality. Are we in a dream world here on planet Earth? How much are we truly programmed to believe certain things, ideas, realities?
Humanity is undergoing a consciousness shift, which requires a “remembering of what we know.” Now it is time to REMEMBER we are a light body, not just a physical one. We are so much more than a third-dimensional meat-body and it’s time we REMEMBER that and more because these meat-bodies are changing—they are ascending.
Understanding literal ascension: In basic terms, ascension is a shift of our bodies and soul from this physical plane of existence (third dimension) to another plane of reality. This new level of existence is not necessarily physical in the same manner that we now understand physical life. It’s an upgrade in consciousness. The actual vibrational planes of our existence are changing…and, therefore, so is our human meat-and-bone one.
As for a global ascension, many people believed the “Shift of 12-21-12” was going to be a literal pivotal event that either ended our world or changed it profoundly. What the “Shift of 2012” did was allow us to enter the Age of Aquarius: One of possible global peace and enlightenment as a planet, as a humanity and as a cosmos. We will get into this concept further as this series progresses.
Raising our vibration: Everything in creation is constructed of energy. Not just our physical world, but our thoughts, our emotions and words all have an energy to them, and all energy has a vibration to it. Higher vibrational energies are said to be more uplifting and consciousness expanding, while lower vibrational energies are grounding and focused. We are made up of, and need, both.
By changing your energy, you can attract certain beneficial forces into your life (Law of Attraction). In the modern day, this is known as co-creation, manifestation, creative visualization or positive thinking. However, most people create their lives unconsciously, believing in a pre-ordained fate or feeling they are victim of circumstances and not seeing the direct link between their energy and their reality.
Connecting to our higher selves: We exist in many dimensions, and the process of Ascension is to become more aware of all our “selves” on these levels. These selves have a great spiritual awareness of the cosmos and our purpose in it and, by making contact with these higher selves, we can co-create a life that fulfills our true will.
What can we do?
Again, most of the time we are living and experiencing “life” in our meat-body, but we are indeed so much more!
Energetically, we are comprised of four bodies which include:
- Physical Body
- Emotional Body
- Mental Body
- Spiritual Body
Part of Ascension work is learning about and working with these energy bodies. Mystics learn to control the energy of the subtle bodies through a variety of disciplines, from meditation to ritual.
By shifting the thoughts or emotions that are the root of illness or fear, you can completely transform illness or reality on the physical level.
By making adjustments on the physical body, you can create profound shifts on mental and emotional levels.
By aligning the energy of the subtle bodies, you allow an uninterrupted flow of energy from the higher self, or spirit body, to move through the mind and emotion bodies and manifest in the physical body. Finding and incorporating this balance is critical for Ascension.
Next, I’ll post a more complete list of Ascension signs and symptoms. It’s my goal to help you recognize these symptoms and learn how to work with them to find balance and harmony in your life.
If this post resonates with you, please leave a comment below and join the conversation! It’s important to share this information so we don’t feel alone in this journey and so we can remove the fear attached to the possible unusual experiences resulting from this integration of our higher-light bodies in this process.
Till Next, and with Cosmic Hugs,
Suzanne

I wake up with anxiety about the environment being in danger and the world coming to an end. I also have chronic lower back/hip the last 4 months. I would like to know if there is a connection between all 4 of the energy bodies and my pain and also how to relieve my symptoms.
Suzanne Worthley says
Lots of folks have angst about the dangers of the world but it is super important to remember the ENERGY of our thought patterns. When we send out negative thoughts – this reproduces more and more of the same – so it might behoove you to consider sending out great thought to Universe of a world that you DO want to see yourself existing in. Chronic lower pain and body parts are all part of this and can be assisted by doing more grounding exercises and connecting to Mother Earth energies. You can do that in a number of ways through actually connecting to earth wind water and fire – or simply intention to do so. Also the lower limbs are reflective of doing some belief system release – the right side of the body is the male having to do with "father" and the left females having to do with "mother" energies. That means think about things that are in the way of me standing up for my OWN beliefs compared to w hat I was possibly raise with. Hope this helps some!
Rebecca Lynn Brandi-Vanmeter says
Ever since August the 14th 2017 the Creators consciousness has connected with me and has been transmitting information for me to translate into a comprehensive simplified version into my language, English. I am experiencing a higher awareness and I am spiritually on a different frequency. I feel energized and my perception is expanded beyond time and space. I lose track of time and the awareness of my surroundings. I have gone for days with little rest per transmission. When I return from the experience I am in extreme physical pain and am exaugested physically, mentally and spiritually. How can I overcome or lessened this as I transform into a higher awareness?
Eddie B says
Hi Rebecca,
I went through that shift in consciousness back in May of 2017. The weeks after that consisted of many sleepless nights (I had convinced myself that I didn’t need sleep) and many crazy conversations with those around me. I also ended up loosing track of time and getting lost in the details of what we call everyday life. For me, I found that I just did what I wanted to do and didn’t want to listen to what anyone else had to say (So in other words, I just learned all my lessons the hard way;). I can see that it’s been a while since you posted but I figured I’d leave this response with hopes that it will help. Just listen to your intuition and try to be proactive about making changes. Best wishes,
Eddie

Loved the blog! I have experienced many of these symptoms. Mainly problems with "succulations"
Kelsey Lynn says
Yes! Last week, I had my first fever in 15 years along with major headaches. I took time each day to meditate and visualize it moving through and out of the body until it was gone. All is good now 🙂 Looking forward to learning more. Thanks for sharing!
Mel W. says
I love this idea of this blog. I have already learned so much from the two posts you have done. I am also looking forward to learning more about the physical symptoms I feel on a day to day basis. My knees are a big one that cause me trouble. I’m looking forward to learning more and gaining strength with like minded people! Thank you for taking the time to take on this fun learning project for all of us!
Mary Z says
This is great! For me searching for deeper meaning and purpose is my focus through the discovery and recognition of all the bodies I hold within this physical body.
Cass says
Hello Suzanne, thank you for these blogs, as I am going through what I know in my heart is very real and very scary turning point in my life.
I have always had a sense of just knowing things but I always questioned myself, and continue question all of this.
I believe that what I’m experiencing is that of another level of life that I do not quite understand. I have had very very real interactions with mediums and spirits. what I thought at one point were coincendents- I now know we’re and still are things like people, knowledge, dates/times, places, names, visions, dreams, and most importantly my recent EXTREME physical, mental and emptional change within my body… All of this has been strategically placed in my life at specific times for a reason.
Its all very real, very new and full of lights emotions I just don’t quite understand.
All I know is that what I’m experiencing is above and beyond me. These past few months has flipped my life upside down…. Literally.
I’m sitting at home day in and out at war with MYSELF.
HOWEVER I "just know" I’m or alone.
Thank you Suzanne. I look forward to reading learning more from you. And starting a new beginning

I do apologize in advance, my typing skills on my phone are horrible. Not to mention that I have so much to say and talk about
Raena Mueller-Dahl says
Hi Suzanne! My Mom and I cleansed our rocks over the new moon recently, it felt amazing, and I feel my heart is healing and feels lighter. I really connected in this post to the symptoms of ascension, in particular my joints in my fingers. Even my girlfriend says my hands dont look like they are mine sometimes…I wonder if you have any words or advice about that? Thanks for the blog, I think I will read it all like a good book today 🙂
Suzanne Worthley says
Actually the ROCKS are a good way to work with your hands as they have minor chakra points in them for gounding. You want to use GROUNDING rocks though – not crystals. Use like regular river rocks (Lake Superior ones are my favorite!) and or the black, reds, and anything that aligns with the root. I often just hold them when watching TV for example. Intent that the energy moves in and outward through that minor chakra in the middle of the palm. You can also intent that the energy flows from the heart chakra in the middle of chest outward through both arms and in and through palms.

Thanks
Carlu says
I was a christian, holy spirit filled, before that i had anxiety of the world ending and falling because of coruption, but after 2 years of backsliding and being cursed or black magiced and having negative energies sent to me and being tricked into blasphomy of the holy spirit by a entitiy my holy spirit left my body but still checks me, comes in like the cold wind, ive had entities and lizards bothering me, but ive been better from a witch doctor, or healer, the past week ive been recovering my trauma filled expierience, and the past week ive been feeling fatigue, blurry vision, preassure in my face, pains and cramps of something weird in my body, and ive also met my twin flame, im thinking it was a entitiy attack please help me, i am forgiven since i was tricked, i feel as if theres a change in my destiny, ive not so long ago opened my mind a broader way, i see things from different perspective, and im pretty accurate when it comes to preaching and seeing and speaking what people have been through in life, help me and give me the clarity im not being attacked
Suzanne Worthley says
You are most likely being attacked because you believe in it and are drawing that energy in – the only way to combat that is change your vibration and release all fear attached to it and it will not longer be able to penetrate your field. You have to do the work to shift the belief and release fear and upload the love. All that dark has a right to be there but you also have the right to not play in that same sandbox if you get the idea.

So, its been a roller coaster ride since a past 8 momths. Everyhing around has been changing so fast. From relationships , froenships , family , career , studies. And i can hardly wrap my head around that.
But i am an extremely positive person , and i thought for years that i wwas crazy to follow numbers. Everywhere. From car number plates to battery percentage to the time on my phone . Repeatedly.
Until i started noticing patterns. N such evidnt numbers that i strted reading up about angel numbers.
Also , i have very vivid dreams and flashes of moments. N they happen.
If i happen to bump across an unknown word for the first time , the universe brings it to me more than thrice a day suppose. Suddenly. I word which i didn’t know existed until today morning.
N its crazy , but i feel that static electricity touching everything , human, metal, animal, plastic.
I’ve lost the will to live , but its not suicidal , its more of like what is the point of all of this. But i dont wanna die. There is so much for everyone to know to see to believe. N all of it shall manifest.
N now after reading about angel numbers , light workers , ascension, suddenly things make sense.
Kanika Paul says
I know i sound extremely fidgety , but i can confirm continuous conversation from both ends every minute of my life. Especially when in need , it is always supplied.
Kindly give me better insight into this.
Thanks a ton Suzanne 💛
Suzanne Worthley says
I think you are just experiencing a lot of changes because you are opening up to them – study more, as knowledge makes things less scary. You are not alone in most of this!
Kanika Paul says
And recently , since a few months ive been struggling to put myself to sleep. I’m so sorry , my nessage to you has been framed real bad. 🙈
Suzanne Worthley says
sleep patterns are all part of this – stay patient and get up out of bed and do some meditation if possible.. .. if you choose
Kai says
If it gives me chills I’m here for it.
Akari says
Hello, Ms. Suzanne Worthley! I am new to the whole idea of ascension and was wondering if teens like me experience such shifts. I have had extremely painful headaches, no appetite, vertigo, and the like. I was also wondering if the ascension process affects our 3D plane. For example, things that involve technology. Like interference, you could say. Sometimes my phone flickers and pulls me out of the app I am on. Thank you for being I resource I can look to whenever I have questions!
