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 we operate on vibration, frequency, and energy levels as spiritual beings.
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 physical 5d ascension symptoms. 31 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.
When have you noticed heightened intuition or synchronicity in your life?
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.
Get in touch with a professional: You’re not meant to walk alone on your spiritual path without any support. By reaching out to spiritual teachers you can get personalized guidance and make the ascension journey more fun and less confusing. You can find vetted healers and psychics with my partner Keen.
Try breathing exercises: When you’re feeling anxious, tired, or dealing with headaches, a quick breathing exercise can be a lifesaver. One of the easiest techniques is called 4-7-8 breathing. You can do this by breathing in through your nose for a count of 4, holding your breath for 7, and then slowly exhaling through your mouth for 8. Try this three or four times to really feel the benefits.
Improve your sleep: Sleep disruptions are super common during ascension. To help your body rest and recharge, try adding a few calming rituals to your evening routine.
Create a relaxing environment: Activities like a warm bath, gentle stretching, or listening to calming music can prepare you for restful sleep. A few drops on your pillow or diffused in your bedroom can promote relaxation and deeper sleep.
Nighttime Meditation: Even a quick five-minute meditation before bed can quiet your mind and help you drift off more easily. Just imagine a peaceful place or focus on relaxing each muscle to let go of any tension from the day.
These are some immediate actions to take when feeling out of alignment during ascension.
Taking even one or two of these actions when you feel out of alignment can make a big difference.
Remember, staying centered during ascension is a practice, so go easy on yourself and take it one moment at a time.
Integrating 5D Ascension into Daily Life
Making space for spiritual growth in your daily life doesn’t have to be complicated.
A few simple steps can help you integrate your ascension journey in a way that feels natural and meaningful.
Here are some ideas to balance spiritual growth with everyday responsibilities:
1: Make time for daily reflection
Setting aside just a few minutes each day for reflection can keep you connected to your purpose and grounded in your experiences.
Try dedicating a small window of time—whether in the morning or before bed—to meditate, jot down thoughts in a journal, or simply sit quietly.
Even five minutes can work wonders.
These quiet moments help you reconnect with your inner self, understand what you’re going through, and find peace in the process.
Plus, it’s a simple way to make the spiritual journey part of your daily life.
2: Simplify your schedule
When you’re going through changes, a busy schedule can add stress.
Look at your day and see where you can scale back, maybe by focusing on what’s most important and letting go of tasks or activities that aren’t essential right now.
With less on your plate, you’ll have more mental space to process the shifts you’re experiencing.
3: Set daily intentions
Choose a phrase or focus for the day that resonates with you, like “Today, I’ll stay grounded” or “I welcome growth and change.”
Repeat it to yourself in the morning or jot it down to refer to later.
Intentions act as gentle reminders to help you stay aligned with your journey.
They keep you centered, focused, and open to new insights without overwhelming you.
These little practices can make your transition feel smoother and more manageable.
Remember, integrating ascension is all about creating a balanced approach—just take it at your own pace and enjoy the process as you go!
