Updated Oct 2025 (originally published Aug 2014)
Since its initial release in 2014, the concept of ascension has changed significantly. Increased solar activity, a rise in global consciousness, and a notable uptick in UFO sightings have all contributed to the energetic shifts many are currently experiencing. This revised guide highlights the most prevalent ascension symptoms reported in 2025, discusses their potential origins, and provides practical advice for coping.
Physical Ascension Symptoms
Ascension “Flu”
- How it feels: sudden tiredness, the need for frequent naps, dizziness, headaches, and stomach discomfort
- Causes: intense energy bursts from the recent solar flare series and coronal emissions
- How to cope: Stay well-hydrated; use earthing mats to ground yourself, and reduce screen time during peak flare activity.
Prickly Scalp
- How it feels: tingling sensations on the top of the head
- Cause: significant downloads of spiritual insights flowing through the crown chakra
- How to cope: Try a gentle scalp massage, and practice a crown chakra meditation by visualizing a violet light.
Tingly Mouth
- How it feels: gentle tingling across the roof of the mouth, especially when the tongue is near the tip
- Cause: activation of the pineal heart channel, which connects intuition with emotion
- How to cope: Sip on warm herbal tea (like licorice or ginger) and engage in slow, mindful breathing.
Urinary Issues
- How it feels: irritation in the bladder or kidneys, along with frequent urination
- Cause: a purge of the sacral chakra, releasing old anger and stagnant energy
- How to cope: Drink plenty of water, eat grounding foods (like root vegetables), and perform short pelvic-floor stretches.
Mental & Emotional Ascension Signs
Anxiety & Solar-Plexus “Ripples”
- How it feels: feelings of unexplained nervousness, waves of pressure in the solar plexus
- Cause: as the Shift intensifies, the contrast between extremes is becoming more pronounced.
- Coping tip: practice heart-centered breathing by inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth while visualizing a golden heart.
Conflict & Quick-Tempered Reactions
- How it feels: feelings of irritability, misunderstandings, and hurt emotions.
- Cause: the same surge in polarity – old ego patterns emerge before they fade away.
- Coping tip: take a moment to pause before reacting, write down what triggered you, and try to see the situation as a chance for growth.
Creative Urge
- How it feels: a strong desire to paint, write, or create simply for the joy of it.
- Cause: increased activity in the sacral chakra is helping to balance your emotional state.
- Coping tip: dedicate a daily “creative block” of 10-15 minutes to let your creativity flow without any judgment.
Loneliness & Soul-Group Yearning
- How it feels: a deep craving for social connection while feeling isolated; a longing for soul mates or a twin flame.
- Cause: many people are looking inward, minimizing distractions from the 3D world, and seeking deeper, soul-level connections.
- Coping tips: consider joining online ascension groups, participating in virtual meditation sessions, and practicing self-compassion.
Peace, Joy & Resilience
- How it feels: a sense of lightness, spontaneous laughter, and profound inner peace.
- Cause: a shift towards living from the heart is transforming both your inner and outer experiences.
- Coping tips: maintain this state by keeping gratitude lists and taking regular walks in nature.
Self-Care Priority (Isolation, “No” Boundary, Authenticity)
- How it feels: a strong urge to retreat, say “no,” and honor your personal truth.
- Cause: older souls are learning the importance of extreme self-care to cope with the stress of ascension.
- Coping tips: make time for yourself each day, establish clear boundaries, and stick to them without feeling guilty.
Spiritual Ascension Experiences
Guidance from Angelic Beings – Metatron‘s Influence
- What it feels like: a noticeable shift in your inner guidance, with insights that resonate more with a 5-D perspective
Cause: While Archangel Michael supports our 3-D awareness, Metatron helps those who are tuning into 5-D frequencies.
Coping tip: During meditation, call upon Metatron by visualizing a bright white sphere to gain clarity on your higher-dimensional tasks.
Enhanced Spiritual Connections
- What it feels like: a surge in communication with angels, ascended masters, and even occasional sightings of UFOs or extraterrestrial beings
- Cause: As your consciousness expands, you become aware of the multitude of life forms in the multiverse.
- Coping tip: maintain a “contact log” to document dates, locations, and feelings. Then, share your experiences with trusted friends for validation.
Rapid Manifestation
- What it feels like: almost instant materializations and effortless creations that come from the heart
- Cause: transitioning from a brain-focused (polarity) approach to a heart-centered (vibrational alignment) way of creating
- Coping tip: concentrate on the feelings you wish to experience rather than the specific outcomes. Then, trust that the universe will align things for you.
Variations in Time
- Time Lag: instances where time seems to stretch or slow down.
- Time Acceleration: periods of intense mental activity, making it hard to relax.
- Timeline Convergence: a sensation that everything is occurring at once, creating a feeling of timelessness.
- Cause: rapid vibrational upgrades speed up our internal clock
- Coping tip: Practice grounding techniques, like walking barefoot on the earth or holding a stone. Also, use a simple timer to help you stay present.
