Going Through a Spiritual Crisis? Here's Support

A spiritual crisis can feel like the floor giving way under your normal reality. Overwhelming perception, a sense that the boundary between yourself and everything else has dissolved, days that blur together, an inability to explain to anyone around you what is happening without sounding, to them, like something is wrong with you. If this is where you are right now, you are not alone in it, and there is support built for exactly this.

Jason has walked this path himself. From an early age he felt a connection to the world around him that was powerful and, at times, overwhelming, an extreme sensitivity that had him withdraw from people and from himself. His own dark night of the soul led him to the Arizona desert and years of work with a metaphysics teacher before he understood what he now describes simply: we are already whole and complete. That understanding did not come quickly, and he does not pretend it does for anyone else either.

What support actually looks like

This is not a single fix-it session. Spiritual crisis, sometimes called spiritual emergency, usually needs steady, ongoing contact rather than one intense intervention. Jason offers a free 20 minute intro call first, so you can talk about what is happening without committing to anything, and so he can get a sense of whether ongoing Spirit Guidance Mentoring, weekly, one hour sessions, is the right shape of support for where you are.

He trained as a pre-licensed marriage and family therapist, which means he brings real awareness of trauma reactions and destabilization into this work, not just spiritual language. If what you are experiencing looks more like a mental health emergency than a spiritual opening, he will say so honestly rather than reframing it to fit a narrative that does not serve you.

Common experiences people bring to this

Sudden, intense spiritual openings that feel impossible to integrate. A flood of information, downloads, or perception that will not slow down. A dissolving sense of who you are, disorientation about your place in ordinary life. Fear that you are losing your mind, alongside a simultaneous certainty that something real and important is happening. Jason has facilitated Galactic Breathing hundreds of times and worked one on one with people moving through exactly these states, and he holds them with familiarity rather than alarm.

If what you are experiencing includes specific perceptual shifts, energy sensations, or a sense of ascension, you may also find Ascension Symptoms: What They Are and What to Do and the starseed awakening process useful for language and context around what is happening.

Why lived experience matters here

Jason does not approach spiritual crisis as a theory. His own overwhelming sensitivity as a young person led him through years of trying to fix himself before he found the frameworks and teachers that helped him understand what was actually happening. That path included training in The Three Principles approach to mental health, which shaped how he thinks about the relationship between thought, perception, and a settled mind. It also included years of tarot study and Sekhem training that gave him language for experiences that conventional frameworks alone did not fully explain.

That combination, his own history, his clinical training, and years facilitating others through intense states during Galactic Breathing ceremonies, is what he brings into a conversation about spiritual crisis. He is not working from a textbook description of what you might be going through. He has sat with hundreds of people in altered and overwhelming states and watched what actually helps them find ground again.

When this is not the right fit

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, a break from reality that is putting you or others at risk, or a crisis that needs immediate medical attention, please call or text 988 (US) for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or go to your nearest emergency room right now. Spiritual guidance is not equipped to handle acute psychiatric emergencies, and Jason will tell you that directly if that is what he is hearing from you.

A note on care

This work is complementary support. It does not diagnose or treat mental illness, and it is not a substitute for psychiatric or medical care. Many people move through a spiritual crisis with support from both a mental health provider and spiritual guidance at the same time, and that combination is often the most stable path through.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if this is a spiritual crisis or a mental health emergency?

If you are in danger, if you cannot keep yourself safe, or if reality has become frightening in a way you cannot manage, treat it as an emergency first and call or text 988, or go to an emergency room. Once you are safe, spiritual guidance can help you make sense of what happened.

What if I have already been to a doctor and they found nothing wrong?

That is common with spiritual crisis, since it is not a diagnosis medicine is built to catch. Jason works with people in exactly this position, where medical care has ruled out an explanation but the experience remains overwhelming.

Do I need to already understand what is happening to me?

No. Most people reaching out are confused and disoriented. Naming and making sense of the experience together is part of the work.

How soon can I talk to someone?

Book the free 20 minute intro call directly, and Jason will respond to get something on the calendar.

Is this only for people who identify as starseeds or spiritually awake?

No. This support is for anyone going through an overwhelming spiritual experience, regardless of the language or framework you use to describe it.
