Before The Seeker's Path: When I Thought I Was Losing My Mind

I woke up at 3:47 AM convinced I was dying.

My heart was pounding so violently I could hear it in my ears. Waves of energy were surging up my spine and exploding through the crown of my head. The room was vibrating. I couldn't tell where my body ended and the air began.

I called 911.

The paramedics found nothing wrong. "Probably a panic attack," they said.

But I knew this wasn't panic. This was something I had no words for.

That was the first night. It happened every night for three weeks.

Energy surges. Visions. Feeling like my sense of "self" was dissolving. Extreme sensitivity to lights, sounds, and other people's emotions. Spontaneous downloads of information I couldn't explain.

I went to eight different doctors. No one could tell me what was wrong.

My colleagues at the law firm thought I was having a breakdown. My mother wanted me committed to a psychiatric facility. My husband looked at me with fear in his eyes.

The loneliest part? I couldn't explain what was happening—not to doctors, not to family, not even to myself.

I felt like an alien in my own life. Like I was going crazy. Like I was completely, utterly alone.

At 4 AM on a bathroom floor, I googled "am I going crazy?" and found Mitch's article about spiritual emergency.

I started crying—not from fear, but from relief.

Someone was describing exactly what I was experiencing. And they were saying it wasn't a breakdown.

It was a breakthrough.

My Greatest Challenge: Navigating Awakening Without a Map

The terror of not knowing what was happening to me was unbearable.

Every doctor said I was fine. Every test came back normal. But I was experiencing things that made no sense in the world I'd known for 42 years.

My greatest pain points were:

1. Complete Isolation No one understood what I was going through. I couldn't talk to anyone about it without them thinking I was crazy.

2. Fear I Was Losing My Mind Without a framework to understand my experiences, I genuinely thought I might be having a psychotic break.

3. No Guidance or Structure I was drowning in symptoms with no idea how to work with them. The energy was overwhelming me.

4. Losing Everything I'd Built My career was falling apart. My relationships were strained. My life was crumbling and I didn't know how to stop it.

I needed:

• Someone who understood what was happening

• A framework to make sense of my experiences

• Practical tools to work with the energy

• Community who wouldn't think I was crazy

• Permission to trust that this was sacred, not pathological

That's exactly what The Seeker's Path gave me.

How The Seeker's Path Transformed My Crisis Into My Calling

MONTH 1: The Relief of Understanding

The first week's teaching was called "Why We Feel Lost."

Mitch explained spiritual emergency—rapid awakening that feels overwhelming but is ultimately transformative. He described every single symptom I'd been experiencing.

For the first time in months, I could breathe.

I wasn't crazy. I wasn't broken. I was awakening.

The weekly masterclasses gave me the framework I desperately needed:

• Understanding kundalini awakening and energy rising

• Distinguishing spiritual emergency from mental health crisis

• Learning why Western medicine misdiagnoses these experiences

• Seeing my symptoms as sacred, not pathological

But what saved me was the community.

I posted my story in the member forum at 2 AM, terrified no one would understand.

Within an hour, I had 15 responses from people experiencing the exact same things.

"Welcome home. We've been waiting for you."

I finally had my soul family.

MONTHS 2-3: Learning to Work With the Energy

The teachings gave me practical tools I could use immediately:

Grounding Practices:

• Root chakra meditations from the guided practices library

• Earthing and nature connection

• Somatic exercises to anchor into my body

• Dietary changes to support grounding

Energy Management:

• How to clear my energy field (taught in Week 6)

• Establishing boundaries so I wasn't absorbing everyone's emotions

• Directing the kundalini energy through breathwork

• Discharging excess energy through movement

Nervous System Regulation:

• Breathwork techniques from the practices library

• Vagal nerve exercises

• Cold water therapy

• Somatic experiencing to process stored trauma

Within three months, the intense symptoms stabilized.

I still woke early, but now I meditated instead of panicking. I still felt energy moving, but now I could direct it. I was still sensitive, but now I saw it as a gift.

The weekly live calls with Mitch were lifesaving. I could ask questions in real-time and get guidance specific to my experience. He'd say things like:

"Sarah, what you're experiencing is your consciousness expanding. Your body is recalibrating. This is sacred. Trust the process."

Hearing that from someone who'd walked this path gave me the courage to keep going.

MONTHS 4-6: Discovering My Purpose

As the crisis symptoms stabilized, Phase 2 helped me understand why this was happening.

The soul mission work changed everything.

Through the guided meditations and journaling exercises, I had a vision: I saw myself guiding other high-achieving professionals through spiritual emergency.

Suddenly everything made sense:

My legal training taught me to communicate complex ideas—exactly what I'd need to explain spiritual concepts to skeptical professionals.

My corporate experience meant I understood awakening while maintaining responsibilities.

My crisis gave me the empathy to hold space for others going through the same thing.

My breakdown had been my preparation.

The accountability pod I formed with three other women became my lifeline. We met weekly, went through the teachings together, and held space for each other's transformation.

These women became my closest friends. My soul sisters.

MONTHS 7-9: Integration and Decision

Phase 3 focused on integrating awakening into daily life.

I had to make a decision: Could I return to corporate law? Should I?

The answer came clearly: No. That life was over.

But I was terrified:

• What if I fail?

• What will people think?

• Am I really qualified to guide others?

The Leadership Development Masterclasses in The Seeker's Path prepared me:

• How to hold space for transformation

• How to guide without imposing my agenda

• How to create safe containers

• How to build a sustainable spiritual practice

In Month 8, I gave my notice at the law firm.

My colleagues thought I was insane. But I knew—deep in my bones—this was right.

MONTHS 10-12: Stepping Into Service

Phase 4 gave me everything I needed to step into conscious leadership:

From the program, I received:

• Spiritual guide training framework

• Business building guidance (how to market authentically, price services, create programs)

• Ongoing mentorship from Mitch during monthly Q&A calls

• Support from my community as I launched

• Accountability to keep moving forward

By Month 12, I had: 

✅ Launched my website and practice
✅ Enrolled my first 3 clients
✅ Created my signature program
✅ Built a small community on social media
✅ Felt more aligned than ever before

The Results: Two Years Later

Today, I run a thriving practice guiding professionals through spiritual awakening.

I've helped over 150 people navigate spiritual emergency.

My clients say:

• "You saved my life. I was about to be hospitalized."

• "You helped me understand I wasn't crazy—I was awakening."

• "You gave me the tools and community I desperately needed."

My income exceeds what I made as a lawyer. Not because I'm chasing money, but because I'm in complete alignment.

My marriage survived and deepened. My husband says he has his wife back—but a more authentic, joyful version.

Most importantly: I'm living my purpose.

Every day, I wake up excited about my work. I'm not just making a living—I'm making a difference.
