One of the biggest pain points and sometimes traumatic experiences for people going through any kind of Awakening is the loss of sometimes very important relationships. It could be in the form of shedding a friendship group or leaving connections that are no longer aligned. Losing a beloved. And it all feels driven by Awakening.
If you have been in the Awakening game even for a short amount of time, you will find, even within the first year, some kind of significant relational loss.
Relationships may start to feel weird or more difficult. Or you find you no longer have energy for some existing relationships. Only a few of us get through Awakening unscathed, and if we don’t recognize what is going on, it can make the loss even more painful.
I encourage you to anticipate these changes and not to make yourself ‘in the wrong’ if this is happening to you. Highly sensitive folks can often fall into the trap of over-accountability. Some relationships will return. Some will get sidelined for a while, and others truly do ‘complete’.
In this video, I respond to a question from a community member, Ronnie, who asked a series of questions on this topic. I take some time to explore the many reasons why our relationships change — why and how we lose people during Awakening– in order to help soften the attachment or the blow, or to give you greater insight or wisdom into what may have happened, or what might be unfolding in your current relational world.
Let me know your thoughts and reflections in the comments below.
May this video bring you safety, confidence, and peace, enhancing the capacity to expand with intention on your own Awakening path. (To watch more videos about awakening, you are welcome to view them all here.)
Big love,

Hi Myree,
Thank you so much for your very heart warming response, Myree. This is such a very important topic around one of the most painful experiences we can experience on this path. There were definitely relationships that came to an abrupt end and there are also those that slowly drifted away. I held onto these relationships for so long despite the disrespect and abuse as I was very disempowered due to years of trauma. Awakening truly has a way of showing us areas of our life where we are not exercising integrity. It is painful and extremely isolating but grateful for your message that this is temporary and that we will eventually be able to build soul-aligned relationships. Thank you so much again Myree for answering this question and for the wonderful way you explained why this experience happens.
Dearest Ronnie,
Thank you so much for helping me make this happen, it was an excellent question to ask to create a community around this topic, I hope you see how many other people have written in saying this helped them! We are all in this together.
We create the path forward together too. And you are also a leader with that precious, powerful and intuitive heart of yours!
Big love dearest Ronnie,
Myree
I have been going through the Kundalini Awakening for about 7 years but it wasn’t until about a year ago that the most closest people in my life had to be let go of. I has been difficult but now it starts to feel more like a relief, because when I look back I was never truly satisfied with those relationships for several reasons. I am so grateful though that my husband and kids who are the most important to me are still here and feels totally aligned.
As always I am so grateful for your videos
With love,
Sara
Dear Sara,
Thank you for leaving such a brave and honest response. I’m very grateful you took the time to share your personal experience here, it helps me to know what resonates with people and this is exactly the kind of issue folk going through Awakening often have to wade through by themselves. I have a feeling this share will help someone else gain a little footing in their own trials. Well done on your courage and deep clarity.
Big love,
