Have you ever found your mind awakening and opening to the reality that there is more to life than you can perceive?
If this is true, then you may be undergoing 5D ascension symptoms.
If you’re a lightworker or starseed, this is more likely to happen, as you incarnated here to guide humanity through the 5D shift.
The feeling of spiritual ascension might cause you to feel worry, confusion, or dread.
If that is the case for you, don’t be afraid. It’s all part of the vibrational shift we’re going through now.
Let’s dive in!

What Is 5D Ascension?
The Earth is at the moment going through a historic shift in vibration, ascending spiritually from the third dimension to the fifth dimension. This is often called 5D Earth or New Earth.
So there is an Earth ascension happening, but our bodies are also going through the same shift (some people sooner than others).
This is leading to ascension symptoms as our DNA is being upgraded.
This is because as spiritual beings, we operate on vibration, frequency, and energy levels.
So, to experience life on a divine energy frequency, you must go through a journey of spiritual awakening.
The 3D (third dimension) consciousness is the ‘physical’ world in which we live, known to everyone.
The 5D (fifth dimension) is the non-physical world, a level of consciousness that is only experienced by the spiritually awakened.
Ascension is the process of raising your vibration, shedding your ego, and gaining control of your future through an elevated level of consciousness.
Based on your birth chart, which is a calculation of your place of birth + time of birth + rising sign, you can determine your ascendant, also called rising sign.
Why do I need to know this, you may ask; simply put, your ascendant sign helps you figure out your purpose in life.

What Are The 5D Ascension Symptoms?
The journey from 3D to 5D often takes a toll on both your body and mental health.
This is because, in the process of spiritual awakening, your senses are heightened to adjust to new frequencies.
Spiritually awakened people operate on energy vibrations that vary based on dimensions.
As you ascend to 5D consciousness, you’ll experience several changes – physically and emotionally; don’t be alarmed; this is normal!
Typically, for ascension to occur, you must have undergone some type of shadow work.
Nevertheless, there are experiences everyone on an awakening journey goes through! The ascension symptoms can be physical, emotional, or spiritual.
Some people get affected a lot, they might be going from doctor to doctor, but none of them can find anything wrong!
Well, unfortunately, doctors don’t learn about ascension sickness in school…
Here are 31 signs that show you’re ascending:
Physical 5D Ascension Symptoms
Here are the 10 most common 5D ascension symptoms. If you want to dive deeper, I recommend my article 31 Mind-blowing Physical Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening.
1: You start to have body aches
During 5D ascension, it is common to feel unusual aches in different parts of your body. Moving your body can feel like a chore.
When this occurs, you’re releasing blocked energy from your joints.
Some people become physically sick, and others wake up with bruises that weren’t there the day before.
It’s all part of the purification process that allows your body to ascend higher, to a 5th dimension frequency.
2: You may have sore joints
Why do my knees ache when I didn’t perform any physical activity? Why do my arms feel heavy? Why is my neck stiff?
If you find yourself asking these questions, there’s a good chance you’re experiencing ascension!
Do yoga to help loosen tight muscles so that ascension energy can flow freely through you!
3: You may start to experience fatigue
The process of ascension takes a toll on your body, so you’ll often feel tired. You might start to realize that you’re always sleepy and lightheaded.
You’re prone to inactivity due to your soul reaching for higher realms. Many people experience astral projection through sleeping.
When we’re asleep, our egos are dormant so our energy frequencies are heightened. This is the time for a “system reboot.”
4: You start to have frequent headaches
Many people deal with migraines during their ascension. Your elevating consciousness can cause a sharp pain in your head.
The process of reaching for a higher dimension is stressful for the 3D human body. This stress can present as a constant headache.
Don’t worry, though; you’ll get through it.
5: You may notice toothaches
Feeling toothaches after a dentist has issued you a clean bill of dental health can be a symptom of 5D ascension.
Teeth serve as a telepathic channel for energy frequency.
In the early stages of your awakening, energy passes through the weak and vulnerable parts of your body.
6: You start to experience vision changes
Some people find their vision changes during ascension.
Those with clear eyesight can develop blurry vision. The reverse is also true; a person with poor vision can get improved eyesight on their journey.
7: Tummy issues
Irregular bowel movements can occur. You might also feel butterflies in your tummy or slight discomfort at intervals.
It’s an effect of the physical stress your body is going through while reaching for spiritual awakening.
8: Skin changes
In rare cases, people shed their old skins during ascension. This is common with lightworkers, who get smoother and brighter skin.
New energy radiates from within and translates into a shining glow.
9: You can get clumsy
Things fall from your hands more often than usual. Your knees might knock, and you could feel jittery.
This is a result of energy coursing through your body, making you nervous.
10: You may have sudden hot flashes or flu
You could feel a sudden feeling of warmth in your upper body, including your face, neck, and chest.
It occurs when energy is flowing through your body. You may feel cold immediately afterward.
If your forehead is hot it could be ascension flu, which feels like the normal flu many people get when they catch a virus.
Emotional 5D Ascension Symptoms
11: Disorientation
You feel confused about where you are. During ascension, people often zone out of reality for short periods.
It happens when your soul’s transition is clashing with your present 3D reality. Being in the third dimension becomes a chore.
The energy in 3D is in conflict with the serenity that comes with discovering your true self in 5D.
12: Memory loss
There are gaps in your recollection of events due to you regularly zoning out. You realize that you have mental blackouts that occur at the time of your ascension.
Memory loss is an expected effect of being in more than one dimension at a time.
When you’re in 5D consciousness, your 3D reality pauses. So, it’s natural to experience a disconnect because of your transitions.
13: Identity crisis
Going through changes physically and emotionally affects your mental health. You’ve likely lost your desire for the things that once excited you.
The vibrations around you now make you uncomfortable so, you make changes.
Your newly found traits and habits can be confusing when you suddenly acquire them at an older age.
Embrace the change because fighting it can be painful. Trust the process and make peace with your evolution.
14: Irritability
The cumulative effects of an identity crisis, disorientation, memory loss, etc., can cause irritability.
The feeling of losing your sense of self makes you on edge and quick to get angry, but it’s a common part of ascension.
15: Mood swings
When ascending to 5D, you may experience some manic episodes.
You might feel wildly happy one day and depressed the next. It’s like being on a rollercoaster.
16: Anxiety
Panic attacks are common for people who are ascending based on the uncertainty they face in their journey. Forgetting everything you know and embracing a new reality is challenging.
Focus on your breathing; it helps with panic attacks.
Your ego is losing its hold on you and is afraid. You feel powerless and vulnerable because you’re leaving behind unnecessary old habits.
Don’t be afraid; once you’ve fully ascended to 5D, you’ll feel safer and at peace!
17: Hyperactivity
There’s a surge of energy at the peak of ascension. It can make many people hyperactive.
They pick up new tasks to occupy their racing minds. Ascension can make you restless!
This inability to focus comes from your spirit longing to be in the fifth dimension. Once you start getting comfortable in 5D, your energy levels will spike!
The increased and expanded cognition makes 3D consciousness a bore for you.
18: Change of life view
You feel a sense of dissatisfaction with life and an overwhelming desire for purpose. Your habits change as well – you can acquire new tastes in your diet.
Your interpersonal relationships also go through the wringer – either they get strained or strengthen.
19: Creativity
Ascension awakens your inner creative juices.
You could develop an attraction to new colors based on their psychological meanings.
You acquire a superior insight into life, unlike the average human being.
20: Drawn to nature
People who are ascending feel drawn to nature. Being in places like parks, beaches, waterfalls, etc., appeals to them.
A new understanding of every living thing makes them feel at peace within the environment.
Many intuitively switch to a plant-based diet while becoming farmers or florists. There’s a sudden need to connect with nature.
Spiritual 5D Ascension Symptoms
21: You will feel intense energy
In the process of adjusting to a higher frequency, your former character is tested against the person you’re becoming.
This causes emotional and physical stress for the person ascending.
It feels intense as you change your energetic frequency and adjust to a higher vibration level. The negativity that is attached to your ego gives way to love and light.
With all the transformations occurring inside you, it is natural that you’d feel pressure!
22: You may experience hallucinations
In the fifth dimension, ascendants see and hear things that 3D human beings can’t. A common experience for ascendants is lucid dreaming.
Some people see light sparks in the corner of their eyes. You’re not going crazy; it’s just that your spiritual eye is now opened.
At this moment, you’re getting more in touch with your psychic awareness. Relax and let your ego go as you step into your true self.
23: You may have out of body experiences
You feel out of place, like you’re on the outside watching yourself. Also, during ascension, some people feel the presence of other heavenly bodies.
This comes with a self-awareness that tunes you to a higher spiritual frequency.
Out-of-body experiences are responsible for memory loss and forgetfulness.
That’s because you drift in and out of 3D consciousness. With time, it will balance out.
24: You understand synchronization
For spiritually awakened people, coincidences are significant occurrences.
Once you start noticing angel numbers like – 11:11, 3:33, 4:44, 2:02, etc., your ego is going to sleep for your soul to rise.
Waking up between the hours of 2:00 am and 4:00 am, is also a sign of ascension. It is called the “witching hour” or “cleansing and releasing” time.
These are all signs that your spirit guides are trying to contact you or send you a message. To learn more about spirit guides signs, check out my video below.
25: You may start to have premonitions
You feel a sensation when things are about to happen. You become highly intuitive.
Please don’t ignore your feelings and intuition when they come.
Your sixth sense comes alive during ascension – tap into it!
26: Electrical zaps
When energy flows through you as you ascend, you can experience zaps of electricity. This depends on the type and strength of the energy because some are stronger than others.
27: You become more introspective
Looking inwards is a typical sign of 5D ascension. So, whenever you feel yourself looking inwards and meditating, it is a sign of spiritual awakening.
Take time to discover your new self and explore your emerging interests.
28: Unity consciousness
Ascension makes you appreciate the need for harmony in the world. Your spiritual consciousness is enlightened so, you seek to achieve peak human interaction.
29: Heightened sensitivity
One of the most common 5D ascension symptoms is heightened sensitivity.
Upon 5D ascension, your 6th sense is awakened. Your five sensory organs (smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste) work at their greatest capacity.
Your environment has a new effect on you, as you learn that everything has a vibration. As you shift into a higher frequency, some vibrations repel or attract you.
At this point, you can feel other people’s energies, so they may feel like you don’t want to be around a person when your auras don’t align!
Suddenly, you might crave a life in the countryside rather than city life, as this feels too overwhelming. You might lose old friends who drain your energy or you might be drawn to more natural, high-vibrational food.
This all happened to me, and I’d love to hear in the comments if this resonates with you too.
Your ascension journey can therefore feel very lonely at times. I talk more about this in my latest Youtube video:
30: Energy bursts
You feel energy bursts at intervals especially, when your soul is actively ascending.
Strong auras can hit you smack in the face, while softer ones can cause a tingling sensation in your body.
31: Disconnecting from reality
5D ascension makes you more spiritual. You disconnect from the 3D reality and have long episodes experiencing 5D.
You begin to feel homesick – as if you’re just an imposter here on Earth.
With time and practice, you’ll learn to merge both and live with consciousness in the 3D world.
What to do when undergoing 5D ascension symptoms?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t panic. Your body is adjusting to its new reality and elevated level of consciousness.
Here are some tips to help with your adjustment.
Drink lots of water: This advice may seem basic, but hydration is very good for your body. As you go through physical changes, you must keep your system hydrated.
Human beings are frequently dehydrated so, you need to drink as much water to keep your vital fluids topped up!
A balanced diet: Ascension stretches your physical limits. You need to eat nourishing meals to keep your body grounded.
Food has healing abilities that help you through this strenuous process. Try to include high vibrational food like vegetables and fruits in your diet.
Meditate: Practice yoga, take guided meditations, repeat positive mantras, exercise your body, etc.
You need to keep your body active and your mind centered. It will help maintain your awareness and stops you from drifting away from reality permanently.
Read: Just like you’re doing now, read and educate yourself when experiencing more severe ascension symptoms.
Learning from other people’s experiences will help you manage your process better.

After reading this article, I believe I am in the middle of the journey. I just need to clean up my diet and exercise my body more and I should be okay. My husband doesn’t really believe in this, so I worry about him, but he may already be there because of just how he is and what attracted me to him in the first place. But he basically follows my lead and I think he will be fine and just come along without even knowing…if that’s possible.
Thanks for your articles and website! ❤ I now have a place to explore for more answers.
Hi Terri,
I am the same with my husband, he doesn’t really believe in it and we haven’t talked about what it is exactly. He’s just along for the ride. The divine source will do what it needs to, regarding my marriage. I do not worry
I’m having what I perceive to be panic attacks. I’m also having memory loss that seems limited to geographical locations. In other words, places that I’ve been to several times don’t look familiar anymore. It’s weird. A restaurant that is my favorite place to eat for many years, I didn’t know how to get there. All other memory functions seem to be fine.
The memory issues are better but I have small relapses after the “panic attacks”
I have been having several of the symptoms you list here.
I’ve been to a Neurologist and was told I’m perfect. She even asked why I was coming to see her because all the tests came out perfect. LOL Wow.
Wow. This blows my mind. At the end of last year, I came down with crazy dizziness and lightheadedness. It was accompanied by fatigue, anxiety, and depression just to name a few. Doctors ran numerous test CT scans MRI’s , X-rays, and blood work. Said there was nothing wrong with me physically. In the year leading up to this I have become extremely attracted to nature. I have felt the need to start meditating and become more aware of my thoughts. I started going to church but realized I feel like I am reading a different book than them. I have started going to Reiki sessions and reading about energy and meditation. I still have some of these symptoms. Today I found your site. Having 47 of the signs of a starseed! Then reading this page it is all makes sense that it is a 5D ascention . You have explained the whole last year of my life in two web pages.
Yes I think I am going through 5D . I have no energy and when I do it is spent really quickly and I am tired and want to nap a lot . My husband and I are not getting along at all he seems so negative I don’t want to be around him or any one else that is negative . I can not focus on my job at all . I have had flu like symptoms and they said was covid .
My ears are ringing a lot my head tingles my heart palpitations turn the anxiety thinking I was having a heart attack but no I am a registered massage therapist with a Reiki practitioner dive into Buddha I’m meditating cleansing colonics I’m back on Super Foods and fruits and vegetables only thank you for your confirmation that I’m not losing my mind
You’re not losing your mind! I had the ear ringing for a year straight!!!!!! Noooo breaks I almost lost my mind
Did your ear ringing stop
Glad to have found this, as I’m not sure what’s happening to me right now I’ve been having awful episodes of panic when doing people’s hair at work and I’m dizzy all the time, I’m feeling really ungrouded and keep get little shops on different areas of my head.
It’s very scary and I’m unable to go to work, I hoping this will pass.
I’ve been going through awakening for the past year, I do Reiki and feel energy all around. Not sure weather to see the doctor or not.
Will meditate and get out into nature as much as possible to try and rebalance.
100%
Thank you for all the great info on 5D changes, it let me know I’m not “getting old”. I may be 73, but I have always believed that we are all imortal.ALL of the above hit me in Nov.2019, most are gone, the few remaining are fading away. Started meditating in 1968, was vegetarian, really health conscious, have always been a metaphysical being, but stopped meditating regularly around mid 2005 when I went to work for a “big” company & started moving up the latter. OMG Then real life happened, everything started changing, my body & mind started shutting down. In 2000, went back to what worked in the past, more veggies, less meat, meditating, being closer to nature & slowly over the last 6 months, things have really come into focus. Its like I’m over the hard part, now I just need to integrate everything I have learned & remembered. Thank you again for your insight.
Oh wow this answers a lot. First off my whole body has sort of reconstructed itself. I had Covid 1 yr ago. Since then I haven’t been able to eat meat. I’m basically a vegetarian now. I lost a lot of weight also. I know it sounds weird but my body actually feels different and better . I eat healthier. Like as if when I recovered from Covid I became a new/ different person but for the better. I’m more creative now…. Crazy bc I worked so hard to be a nurse but now I often want to work for myself. I recognize that I’m a healer with or without being a nurse. Im more intuitive. I’ve also let go of the fear of family and friends not excepting my spiritual beliefs …. This is me and it makes me happy. I help many ppl now also spiritually. I get very irritated when I’m around certain ppl or crowds that vibrate low. I can sense that I should cleanse my space around certain individuals. A so called friend of mine visited me not long ago…. Before leaving she gave me a hug. It felt off and fake…. It made me nauseous as if to say my soul could tell she didn’t really like me. And I pulled away from her . Ive never noticed that before. But what I felt was real . For the most part I’ve always woke up around 2-4 am. I use to hear voices when I was a child and have dreams about things. And I could sense when things were going to happen sometimes. I didn’t like it at all when I was a kid and my mom thought I was crazy ! Now these senses r back and I embrace it. I also find myself knowing what my friends are going to say before they say it. My tarot readings are more clearer also. Crazy bc when the blogger mentioned joint pain lol well I just noticed the other day that my knees are aching out of no where. And I have had heart palpitations also like I’m anxious out of no where. Thanks for the information. And my apologies for the long msg. Love and light ☺️
Wow!! So glad I found your site. I’ve had a lot of the symptoms that you mention and was trying to figure out if I had the flu, or what was going on. Now, I’m pretty sure that I’m ascending. I started meditating and doing Tai Chi Gung with Master Rasaji at the beginning of the year which has helped tremendously and cleared my mind. Thank you again for your website
My daughter is going through this now. Anxiety, panic attacks, palpitations etc…she feels uncomfortable at night like her sheets and clothes are attacking her…she gets out of bed and and doesn’t sleep for hours. Newly developed insomnia. She had a virtual visit today with her doctor who prescribed medication for sleeping and a sleep study. She’s been experiencing this for about a year now..getting worse recently to the point she can’t focus on work. Her tastes bud have change to better, healthier foods. She’s the mother of a child with special needs so she’s constantly worried about her health as her child is totally dependent on her. I have been going through my own Ascension, but the symptoms are less now…it can get scary tho. I will look for a legitimate Reiiki healer so she can meditate and feel a bit better. How long does the process takes…she’s a lightworker, I am a star seed. It’s different for everyone. Mine has taken at least a year and counting. Just not as bad. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
I am so excited! I started paying attention to angel numbers and not sleeping between 2 and 4 am about 5 years ago. I blamed the insomnia on the ghosts and goblins. I lost my husband, sold my house and retired from my job and have been living on beaches since. I am a water sign and love the ocean. I am finally learning to be still. It feels so great, and turns out not to be so hard. I’m learning to come from my heart and not my ego. The ego thing kind of hangs on to you and vice versa but I hope I am winning that battle. I meditate but not near enough. I’m working on that. We are so lucky to experience this!! I feel fortunate to find this site.
I feel energy flowing thru me, I can hear the energy. I have experienced something like restless leg syndrome especially if my husband gets close to me at night when sleeping, I feel bloated and my eyes can not stand the iPad screen my hands and feet get really cold . I start sweating like crazy which wakes me up. I have also felt tingling sensations on left leg and head. I can feel my third eye and my chest feels different but not palpitations is more of a sensitive feeling.
I started my journy 20 years ago, i woke to the spirit and was trying to figure it out for a long time. It let me to my current carreer as a Massage Therapist. The experience left me for quite a few years and i missed the feeling of the spirit. A few months ago i woke up as if someone turned on a lightswitch. I now know my purpouse is to vibrate at a high frequency to help elevate everyone around me. This is a amazing journy to wake to. This article is pretty spot on with what i have gone though. Pathway to enlightenment ❤️👁️
Thank you soo much as this article helped me alot. Im definitely going through this and have been for awhile.
Yes yes yes. My body feels like I have weights attached to all the limbs and I feel achy all over. Im clumsy, light headed, sleepy, depressed, crying, ringing in my ears, having troubles with memory, * thought it was Alzheimer* And yeah, I do feel like an outsider, an imposter hanging around here on earth. Is there a way to speed it up or ease the physical because I have fell a few times from the dizziness. I’ve had my teeth checked, havent been to a doctor though. They want to give me pills and more pills to take which I dont need. I drink alot of water and eating more vegies and fruits. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I have been seeing the angel numbers alot as well and waking at 2am. When I am traveling I feel like someone is with me too even though there is no one I can physically see.
Magical, thanks for sharing!
I am the light! I am the love! I am the truth! I am. ❤️ repeat that out loud if you ever feel any lower vibrations creeping in on you…repeating this mantra will help with those panic attacks and anxiety-filled moments,or any time fear or doubt might try to creep up on you.I plus it is true and you need to know!! You are the livht!light!! You’re thei love!!! You ate the truth!! Youare! 🙂 lots of hugs and love/light to you all!! 🙂
😊😊🙏🙏
I’m experiencing the majority of those symptoms. My vision has improved to where I don’t need glasses. Strange vivid dreams. And so much more. I see Angel numbers often throughout the day, and feel a strong spiritual presence quite often. It’s like I’m on this new life path things are happening & I just going along for the ride.
Magical, thanks for sharing!
Hola Dear Ones! My husband and I are Twin Flames so not only are we experiencing All 31 of the symptoms mentioned here; we are also experiencing the Twin Flame Ascension; which May very well be the same as everything is connected🙌 We are Spiritual Life Coaches and do our best to guide people through this process. I have to share that where it talks about Auras clashing; I had this happen 1/12/2022 time frame and It put me in the most awkward position. I felt absolutely powerless and felt like a 13 year old feeling like I’ve been triggered; reminding me of childhood trauma; I hadn’t worked through yet. I pray every day that my weirdness doesn’t offend anyone as I know this is very much the shadow work that is necessary! It is truly a great honor to be sharing this with all of you and being a part of Our Earth Mother’s Ascension! Sending so much Love ❤️
Magical, thanks for sharing! Sending you lots of love and blessings 💕
This article was very helpful for me. I did not know that these were symptoms of ascension. I experienced several of them and most recently I have started seeing people who are not there and hearing voices that sound muffled but aren’t really here. I really thought I was going crazy but I am extremely healthy and my mental status is perfectly fine. After I saw my first “little boy “that wasn’t there it really stressed me out and I could not stay asleep past 45 minutes after seeing this vision. I went to bed at 7:30 and slept until 7 o’clock . I don’t know where else to post about this but it is so nice to see that there are people here who experience similar things who aren’t crazy also lol
Are night time surges of energy and stomach discomfort most nights, part of the symptoms that
go along with ascension?
Thank you for this.
I’ve been on this path for a year & it has been very lonely.
Sometimes I wish I had Someone to talk to, but I’m grateful nonetheless for each phase.
More than happy to read the amazing experiences in the reply section too.
I don’t know where this road is headed, but I’ve decided to cruise on the journey.
Y’all are doing great.
We move!!!
Thanks for your comment! Sending you lots of love and blessings 💕
I have experienced many of these symptoms and others I can not explain. Sometimes I am walking down a hallway or other places and I feel like I am looking below me, like I am floating along yet my feet are grounded. Other times I will be sitting down, looking through a doorway and the door appears far away. I want to be alone more and become immersed in thought. When I send positive energies or love from the heart I feel an overwhelming love, satisfaction and visualize the love going into the universe in droplets. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
