My Awakening Experience – by Faine Bisset If you had to ask me to describe what awakening to my true essence feels like, I would probably just respond by sitting in silence. There are no words that can do it justice. There are no words that can actually help you understand it. Simply because it is not something that can be understood by the mind.
