Ascension, Definition

Ascension describes a shift into a higher level of consciousness. Jason Donaldson connects ascension to his Sekhem and breathwork practice on Hawai'i Island.

Ascension describes a shift into a higher level of consciousness, both for an individual and, in the way Jason Donaldson talks about it, for the planet as a whole. It is described as a process of seeing more clearly and becoming aware of more, which is not always comfortable, since awareness of something new often means dealing with feelings that come with it.

How Jason frames ascension in his own words

"As the planet ascends, the humans can ascend." He describes Sekhem as an ancient energy returning now specifically to assist with this shift, connected to a resurgence of people remembering earlier times, including ancient Egypt, Atlantis, and Lemuria or Mu. Practically, this shows up as a higher level of perception, a felt sense of expanded awareness, and sometimes a disorienting, floaty feeling as the mind slows and a person connects more with their heart. Jason is direct that awareness can be painful before it settles, and that guides and healers exist to help a person find balance with what becomes visible.

The uncomfortable part of ascension

Seeing more clearly is not automatically pleasant. Jason is candid about this: once something becomes visible to you, whether it's a pattern in a relationship, an old belief, or a feeling you'd been avoiding, you have to deal with how it makes you feel, and that often means anger, grief, or disorientation before it means peace. This is one reason he distinguishes ascension from a purely positive self-improvement story. It's closer to a widening of the lens, and a wider lens shows you everything, not just the parts that are easy to look at.

What makes this workable, in Jason's framing, is that no one has to navigate it alone. Guides are described as present and available, and healers exist specifically to help a person adjust and find balance as new awareness lands. That's a large part of what Sekhem energy healing and Galactic Breathing are for: not to produce the shift itself, but to support a person already moving through it, session after session, as more becomes visible over time and integration deepens along the way.

How does Jason's work support someone going through ascension?
