The Inhale and Exhale of Life – Why You Feel Low After an Awakening

ALIGNED Podcast with Ashley Hämäläinen

I’m releasing this episode a day early—because I can feel how much it’s needed right now. So many of us are moving through deep cycles of light and shadow, expansion and contraction. You are not alone.

On May 1st, I experienced a full day of Oneness—pure Light, complete Presence, a deep remembering of the true Self. And then, the next day… my skin broke out, my digestion slowed, my energy dipped. It felt like a crash—but it wasn’t. It was a contraction. The natural exhale after the inhale.

In this episode, I share the lived rhythm of spiritual awakening through the lens of Samsara—the spiral of life, death, and rebirth that pulses through every breath, every moment, every phase of our journey. I speak on Shiva and Shakti, the inhale and exhale of Consciousness, and why you’re not going backwards when things feel low after a spiritual high.

This is the path of Quantum Manifestation—not a linear rise, but a sacred rhythm. A return to Truth through both the opening and the closing. The Light and the body.

You are not broken. You are remembering. Episodes to listen to and reference for more information: * Healing In and Through the Body (Why So Much is Coming Up Right Now) * Quantum Weight Release, Remembering Presence + Dissolving the Illusion of Separation * The Afterglow of Eclipse Season
