Video summary

Julian Jenkins, a spiritual teacher with over two decades of experience guiding thousands through personal transformation, identifies five key signs that indicate an individual is undergoing a profound awakening process rather than experiencing a mental breakdown. He emphasizes that this shift often begins not with euphoria but with intense physical and emotional exhaustion from stimuli that previously felt normal. As one's energy recalibrates to align with their true self, tolerance for misaligned environments—such as draining conversations or unfulfilling jobs—drops significantly, causing what others might perceive as negativity or weirdness. Jenkins clarifies that this is simply the system rejecting static noise and demanding a more authentic reality, urging viewers not to fight these feelings but to recognize them as the first silent whispers of expansion. The awakening process further manifests through heightened empathic sensitivity and an overwhelming influx of synchronicities. Individuals begin intrinsically sensing emotions and energies belonging to others in rooms they enter, which is described not as anxiety or over-sensitivity but as a newly activated ability to interface with collective energy that was previously dormant. Simultaneously, meaningful coincidences become constant rather than occasional; thinking of someone results in them calling immediately, or seeing specific numbers everywhere daily. Jenkins warns against mistaking every event for a sign while affirming that genuine synchronicities create a palpable sense of resonance and paused time, indicating an expanding awareness where the universe reflects one's growing consciousness back to them. Perhaps the most overlooked yet significant indicator is spiritual grief over a life that has not technically ended. As old identities dissolve, individuals may feel deep sadness or nostalgia for versions of themselves tied to past careers, relationships, or habits that no longer fit their evolving truth. This pain stems from recognizing the gap between who they have been and who they truly are, creating an ache as the soul refuses further inauthenticity. Jenkins distinguishes this sacred grief from clinical depression by noting it often accompanies a strange underlying peace; if one feels simultaneously sad yet free while grieving these losses, it signifies that space is being made for the new self to emerge without needing to pretend anymore. Ultimately, Julian concludes that recognizing these signs means understanding that you are not broken or falling apart but simply waking up to your true nature. This journey is inherently messy and confusing because there is no manual, yet it remains the most important experience one can have as they reset their factory settings from a place of performance back to authentic being. He encourages viewers to be kind to themselves during this transition, acknowledging that while full awakening is an ongoing process rather than a final destination, every step taken with humility and love brings clarity and purpose. By accepting these changes without catastrophizing or forcing oneself into unwanted situations, individuals can embrace their imperfectly perfect state and continue walking the path of growth supported by community and self-compassion.

Five signs you're waking up. What if I told you that the confusion you're feeling right now, the restlessness, the sense that something's shifting, but you can't quite name it. What if I said it isn't a breakdown, but it's a breakthrough. I'm Julian Jenkins and I've been practicing med mediumship and I'm a spiritual teacher now for for well over 20 years and I've guided more than 80,000 students through this exact moment. I still stumble over those numbers. I wonder why me? How can I help others help themselves to live a happy balanced spiritual life with clarity and purpose? [snorts] And that moment that we talk about when life starts to feel a little different and you don't know why. For me, there are five signs that you're waking up. And number four really is something that nobody ever tells you or everyone ever talks about. But let's talk about sign number one. You're physically and suddenly exhausted by things that used to feel normal to you. Nobody warns you about this. Waking up doesn't always start with light and love and floating through the room. And I always say this bugles at the end of your bed with with Archangel Michael or Raphael. Maybe it has, maybe it is. And that's fantastic for you. But maybe you're just feeling that the conversations you used to have and they used to feel fine and now draining you. The job you tolerated feels absolutely unbearable. the social situations you just used to get through. Well, they feel like you're wearing somebody else's clothes. And here's the thing, this isn't you becoming negative, which everyone else will tell you that it is. [music] They will say that you've changed and you've gone weird and all of these things. This is your energy recalibrating. You're not broken. It's just your tolerance for what isn't aligned with who you really are is simply dropping. Think of it like this. You've been tuned to a radio station your entire life and now you're picking up a different frequency. And the old one, well, that's now just static noise. your system is saying we can't do this anymore. We need to do something real. And if you're feeling this right now, and I am too, cuz we all go through these different levels of awakening, I'm saying to you, don't fight it. Don't pathize it. Pay attention. It's that first silent whisper. And then what happens? Sign number two comes. You start feeling things that aren't yours. And this is a big one. This is the one that catches a lot of people off guard. When you walk into a room, you intrinsically know there's something wrong before anyone speaks. You may be around somebody who's smiling, who's full of beans, but you feel their sadness. [music] You pick up their mood. You pick up their energy. You pick up the tension. It's not yours. And this isn't anxiety. This isn't you being over sensitive. This is you now switching your empathic awareness on. Switching on. This is when awakening begins. One of the first signs that you're opening up is your energetic sensitivity. You're starting to interface with other people's energies in ways you never cons consciously knew you did before because nobody taught you how to handle this. [music] It starts becoming extremely overwhelming. I go back to the beginning extremely humbled by the fact that I've worked with thousands and thousands and thousands of students. People who have come to me thinking that there's something wrong with them. They've been to the doctors. They've been to therapists. They've had [music] every test going. And the answer was beautifully simple. They're waking up. They're waking up to a sensitivity that's always [music] been there but never allowed to come to the surface. and certainly never allowed to be named. If this is you, know that is this is your gift. This is what you are here with. Everyone's got the gift. Everyone has the ability to breathe. Everyone has the gift. But like any [music] gift, we need to understand it and manage it. And you're not absorbing chaos. What you're doing now is sensing the truth. Because you see, number three is synchronicities are no longer occasional, but they're constant. You think of somebody, the phone rings, it's them. You see the same number everywhere. You hear a phrase in a conversation and you read it in a book an hour later, same afternoon. And it's not once a week anymore. It's happening daily. This is the universe reflecting your expanding awareness back [music] to you. And when you start waking up, synchronicities increase because your perception has widened. You're no longer sleepwalking through your day. You're present enough to notice the patterns that have always been there. And this is where I need to be real with you because this is my philosophy. still human, still spiritual, still trying to keep it real. Synchronicities are meaningful, but they're not a replacement for discernment. Not everything is a sign. Sometimes a number is just a number. I had someone come to me once and say, "I keep seeing the number 19 on a bus. Why is that?" And I say to [music] them, "Do you live on the bus route of number 19?" But I say that with a little bit of jest because there is a difference. A genuine synchronicity creates a felt sense of resonance in your body. A moment where time seems to just pause. It's not your mind making up connections. It's something much deeper. A deeper recognizing, a deeper truth. And if the synchronicities are stacking up, you're not losing it. Your awareness is expanding. And that's exactly what you should be doing. See, number four sign, you're grieving a life that hasn't ended yet. I said at the beginning, this is the one that nobody talks about. This is the one that nobody wants to talk about. And for me, it's one of the ones that matter the most. So, when you start waking up, there's a grief that comes. Not because someone's died, not because something terrible's happened, but because you feel the gap between who you've been living as and who you actually are. And that gap aches, aches, aches, aches. You might cry for no reason. You might feel very nostalgic for a version of your life that you still technically live. You might look at your relationships, your career, your habits, and feel this deep sadness. Not because they're bad, because they don't fit anymore. This is spiritual grief. It's sacred. It's part of you that knows change is coming. And the old identity is just dissolving. And it needs to honor what was it there before it can step into the next. Most people hit the point and think, I'm depressed. And I always say this at this point. If you're struggling, speak to someone. Get support. [music] There's no spiritual bypass for genuine mental health needs. That's a chemical imbalance. But if grief comes in waves, if it's accompanied by this strange sense of peace underneath, if you feel uh simultaneously sad and free, then you're awakening. That's the old self making room for the new. Let it let it grieve. Let it go. Sign number five. You can't pretend anymore. This is what gets real. And a lot of people think this is the scariest one. You simply cannot perform [snorts] anymore. The mask you wore at work, in relationships, in social settings, it doesn't fit. And it's not that you've decided to be authentic. It's that your system literally [music] literally won't let you be anything else. For instance, the small talk that feels impossible. The people pleasing feels physically painful. The version of you that smiled and said, "I'm fine." when you weren't. I can categorically tell you now that that version of you has left the building. And here's what I want you to hear. This isn't you becoming difficult. This isn't you becoming antisocial or awkward. This is your soul finally refusing to be [music] edited. And when your awakening [music] reaches this stage, inauthenticity becomes absolutely intolerable. And that's not just an intellectual choice, but an energetic reality. Your frequency is shifted. And anything that doesn't match it, guess what? Creates friction. And this is where relationships change. This is where jobs change. This is where people look at you and say, "You have changed." And they're right. You have. But you haven't become someone new. You've just stopped pretending to be someone you never were. I say you've reset your factory settings. You're going back to working from here, not working from here. You've stopped pretending to be someone you never were. And my point to you of all of these things, if you've recognized yourself in any of these signs, maybe all of them, maybe one of them, then hear me when I say this, you're not broken. You're not falling apart. You're just waking up. And waking up isn't always beautiful. It's messy. It's confusing. It doesn't come with a manual, but it's the most important thing that will ever happen to you. I've walked this path and I'm walking this path. We never fully awaken. You can't be fully anything. You can't be fully educated. You can't be there's always thing things that we need to learn and move and walk and talk. But I've held a space for 85,000 people walking theirs. And if you need guidance, if you need community, or you just just want to put a comment into somebody who gets it, guess what? I'm here. So, if this has resonated, if this has hit you here, then maybe you need to share it with someone else who needs to hear it today. Maybe you need to subscribe if you haven't already subscribed. It'd be wonderful if you did. If you want more of this type of content, then hit the subscribe button. There's no fluff, no performance, just my truth that I've walked and talked. And today I'm still human. Today I'm still spiritual. Today I'm still trying to keep it real. And just remember this, okay? You, you are enough. You [music] are imperfectly perfect. You are meant to be here, right [music] here, right now. So enjoy the process. Be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up. Go with the flow. But realize this, your energy changed. Be humble. [music] Be you. But be kind to yourself. And sometimes just let it flow without having to catastrophize it or put yourself into a situation you don't want to be in. As always, be love and give love. I hope you've enjoyed it. Drop your comments below. Tell me how you feel. Tell me what's going on. I'll try and answer all of them. But I'm here for you. I'll see you in the next video. Take care. Bye-bye.
