Understanding the Major Energetic Shift of Spring 2016
If you’ve been feeling unusual in your body, emotions, or sleep lately, you might be experiencing what many refer to as Ascension Symptoms. These feelings are not due to illness but are a result of energetic shifts occurring on a global scale. In Spring 2016, these energetic waves were particularly strong, leaving many feeling confused, tired, or overwhelmed without knowing the reason.
In this comprehensive guide, you will discover what ascension symptoms are, why they happen, and how to navigate through them with ease, comfort, and confidence.
Understanding Ascension Symptoms
What Are Ascension Symptoms?
Ascension symptoms are the physical, emotional, and mental sensations that arise when the Earth’s energetic frequencies change. Rather than being caused by viruses or sickness, these sensations stem from a rising collective vibration.
People often refer to these experiences as ascension flu because the symptoms resemble those of a real flu, yet there is no medical basis for them.
Why Spring 2016 Triggered Strong Energetic Changes
In Spring 2016, several elements came together:
- The Spring Equinox, which brings a boost of new life-force energy
- The astrological season of Aries, a fire sign linked to bold, explosive energy
- A worldwide increase in emotional release and awakening
- Planetary frequency spikes noted by resonance charts
This time became one of the most significant energetic upgrades many had ever experienced.
The Physical Signs of Ascension Symptoms
During Spring 2016, numerous individuals reported strange physical sensations. These were not random; they were direct reactions to changing energy fields.
Head-Related Experiences: Headaches, Dizziness, Lightheadedness
People often experienced:
- Sudden bouts of dizziness
- Random pressure in the head
- Migraines or sharp pains in the head
These sensations typically came in waves and faded just as quickly.
Ear Sensations During Ascension: Ringing, Buzzing, & Pressure Changes
Common ear sensations during this time included:
- Popping or air-pressure changes
- High-frequency ringing
- Buzzing
- Earaches
These happen as your energy field adapts to new frequencies.
Body Pain & Musculoskeletal Discomfort: Joint Pain, Back Pain, Weakness, & Fatigue
Many reported:
- Aching knees and shoulders
- Lower or mid-back pain
- Stiffness like “feeling older overnight”
- Muscle spasms
Even pets showed similar fatigue or stiffness during this energetic time.
Digestive & Nausea Waves: Motion Sickness & Appetite Changes
As frequencies change, the body may react with:
- Random nausea
- Queasiness
- Sensitivity to movement
- Loss of appetite
These waves often appear unexpectedly.
Sleep Disruptions Caused by Ascension: Insomnia, Vivid Dreams, Hot/Cold Cycles
Sleep patterns often change during ascension:
- Waking up between 2–4 A.M.
- Cycles of hot and cold flashes
- Prophetic dreams
- Feeling tired despite adequate sleep
This occurs because the body processes energetic upgrades mainly at night.
Emotional & Mental Ascension Symptoms: Emotional Volatility During High-Frequency Shifts
During intense ascension periods, emotions can surface rapidly. Many feel:
- Sudden irritation
- Unprovoked anger
- Emotional sensitivity
Anxiety, Anger & Intense Energy Waves
These emotional responses don’t always stem from personal issues. They are often collective releases occurring across humanity.
Collective Purging & Crisis Responses
In Spring 2016, many individuals purged significant emotional blocks. This led to temporary chaos e.g. arguments, emotional breakdowns, or crises.
Why These Ascension Symptoms Occur
Rising Planetary Frequencies
As Earth’s energetic frequency increases, humans naturally adapt. This adjustment phase can be uncomfortable.
Gaia’s Spring Energetic Rebirth
Spring naturally brings strong renewal energy. When combined with global ascension, it intensified symptoms.
Human Sensitivity to Consciousness Shifts
Sensitive people (empaths, intuitives, healers) often sense energy shifts first and most intensely.
Guidance for Dealing with Ascension Symptoms: Focusing on Self-Care
Rest, Nature Therapy, Hydration, & Nutrition
To alleviate ascension symptoms:
- Rest when your body signals you to
- Take daily walks in nature
- Increase your water intake
- Consume grounding, nutritious meals
- Engage in fun, joy, and creativity
Receiving Healing Support: Why Healers Also Need Assistance
No one should face ascension alone. Energy healing sessions can help prevent symptoms from worsening.
Choosing Calm Over Conflict
If you sense a confrontation brewing, opt for calm. Disputes drain your energy and intensify symptoms.
Leading with Love Rather Than Resistance
What you resist becomes stronger. Love can dissolve emotional heaviness. Facing challenges with kindness instantly shifts your energy.
How Ascension Symptoms Impact Relationships
Understanding Others’ Emotional Reactions
Those around you may also feel overwhelmed. Their responses are often energetic rather than personal.
Keeping Boundaries During High-Energy Periods
Healthy boundaries safeguard your peace during energetic upheavals.
Long-Term Impacts of Ascension Symptoms
Spiritual Development
- You gain a deeper awareness of your purpose.
- Enhanced Intuition
- Your intuitive abilities become significantly sharper.
Emotional Strength
You learn to handle challenges with greater ease.
