Mystical or religious experience

Spiritual awakening refers to a profound shift in consciousness wherein an individual's perception of reality and their place within it undergoes a transformative change. This process often involves a heightened sense of awareness, inner peace, and a deeper understanding of one's connection to the universe or a higher power. In Hebrew, this concept can be translated as הִתְעֹרְרוּת רוּחָנִית (hit'orrut ruchanit). Other relevant translations include Erwachen in German, Éveil spirituel in French, and Despertar espiritual in Spanish. Spiritual awakenings can be triggered by various experiences, such as meditation, near-death experiences, profound loss, or intense emotional or psychological upheavals. They are often accompanied by a sense of oneness with all beings, a release from ego-driven desires, and an increased sense of compassion and love. This phenomenon is central to many spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and various forms of mysticism, where it is often seen as a path to enlightenment or liberation from the cycle of suffering.
