Spiritual Awakening in the “In-Between” | Intuitive Mind Lab Radio
If you feel like your old life doesn’t fit anymore—but the new you isn’t fully here—this is the sacred “in-between.” It’s disorienting and holy. In this guide inspired by Intuitive Mind Lab Radio Episode 10, with Lindsay Goodwin (Founder of Intuitive Mind Lab & Garnet Moon), we explore how to regulate your nervous system, receive clarity, emotional healing, and walk steadily through the void with faith and practical tools.
What the “In-Between” Really Is
When identities dissolve, your system looks for safety. The temptation is to sprint back to what’s familiar. Instead, practice stillness: the void is not a setback—it’s an initiation into authenticity. Your discomfort is evidence of expansion.
Signs you’re in the transition in emotional healing and the void:
-
Old roles/labels feel tight or false
-
You want to quit and you can’t ignore the pull forward
-
You crave simpler routines and honest relationships
Regulate First: Nervous System Anchors
Before decisions, regulate biology so your mind can tell the truth.
-
Paced breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6 (2–3 minutes)
-
Grounding: feet on the floor; name 5 things you see
-
Softening: drop your shoulders; unclench your jaw
-
Micro-action: one small, easy task (water, sunlight, short walk)
Your power is in your consciousness—not just your human mind.
Human Design, Authenticity & Alignment
This passage is about living your design—not the performance version. Try this:
-
Where am I performing certainty to feel safe?
-
What would the most honest, gentle next step be?
-
What story can I retire with love today?
A 4-Step Flow for the Void
-
See clearly — name the pattern that’s ending.
-
Soothe wisely — regulate before you choose.
-
Select one action — simple beats perfect.
-
Stay steady — repeat for 7 days; then reassess.
Trusting the unknown is a spiritual practice. Sharing your story empowers the collective.

FAQs: The “In-Between” of Spiritual Awakening
Why does the in-between feel so uncomfortable?
Your nervous system is recalibrating as old identities dissolve. Discomfort can = right or wrong path—it’s a sign of growth. But a reminder that nothing is ever bad or wrong, everything in your life is giving you the opportunity for growth. This is known as “energy alchemizing”. Remember, regulate first; then choose the next kind action for emotional healing.
How do I know it’s guidance and not anxiety?
Guidance is calm, specific, and values-aligned. Anxiety is urgent, shaming, or dramatic. After 2–3 minutes of 4/6 breathing, ask: “What is the most honest, gentle next step?” Truth feels grounded.
How long does the in-between last?
It shortens with steadiness. Keep one daily anchor (breath, walk, journaling) for 7 days, then reassess. Small consistency changes chemistry and clarity.
What if I’m scared to let go of the old life?
Name the fear, regulate, release one small attachment at a time. Replace “all at once” with “one loving step.” Christ Consciousness meets you in willingness.
What should I do when I feel stuck or foggy?
Move your body, hydrate, get sunlight, write one sentence of truth, then take a 5-minute action.
How do relationships shift during this phase?
Some deepen, some pause, or some go away completely because they no longer serve your highest good. Communicate needs simply; choose mutual honesty over performance. Your boundaries protect the becoming.
When should I seek extra support?
Anytime daily life feels impaired or you feel overwhelmed. Ask for help from a licensed professional and/or a grounded mentor. Support is strength.
