A JOURNEY THROUGH THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL: TRANSFORMING CRISIS INTO CREATIVE POWER
I'm Jacqueline Emma Moseby, AKA Jaxx, a Certified HE(ART) Awakening Coach, Guide, and Mentor.

It launched a powerful business for me and now I get to help you do the same through Awakening modalities and my Signature Processes.

DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL – AWAKENING
STAGE 3 – PART 1
FROM TOTAL COLLAPSE WE REBUILD.
YOU AWAKEN TO SOMETHING DEEPER...
INTRODUCTION:
The term “Dark Night of the Soul” refers to a phase in one’s personal journey that involves a profound period of self-reflection, existential questioning, and emotional upheaval. It’s a time when the familiar dissolves, leading to a stage of inner turmoil and confusion. This transformational phase, although deeply challenging, holds the potential to unlock enormous creative power. In this exploration, we delve into the essence of the Dark Night, offering insights, shared experiences, and guidance for those who are navigating this tumultuous voyage towards self-discovery and renewed creative energy.
WHAT YOU WILL PONDER:
In this article, you will learn to identify the hallmark symptoms of the “Dark Night of the Soul” and understand its potential causes. We will explore strategies for coping with the emotional discomfort and existential uncertainty that this period can evoke. Furthermore, you will discover how this challenging time can lead to profound personal growth and an awakening of creative energy, providing a roadmap for transformation. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, we will equip you with the tools needed to turn what may feel like a crisis into a wellspring of inspiration and new beginnings.
MY PERSONAL STORY:
Having a true awakening is having ALL your levels of consciousness disrupted. I will never forget the definite split as I was able to view the two sides of my mind clearly. All the illusions over all my years and the shadows that had always been there. I stared into my own eyes for so long my face disappeared into a world past thought. Walking through the darkest night of your soul is a gift! It is buried so get ready to dig deep. When your soul wakes you up you have a choice at that moment. A choice to master the art of transmutation or return to an unconscious state.
An honest question for you to ask yourself is: Where and why has this turbulence and crisis shown up in my world? I became comfortable with my shadows by being placed in an uncomfortable circumstance. The circumstance was the evidence of the shadows I had to face! The circumstance is the antagonist to the changes you need to make. A picture that comes to mind is when Jake Sully in Avatar catches the great Leonopteryx. He chose to find a way to bond with the most dangerous Leonopteryx of them all. When you integrate your shadows and internal conflict you will have to own and take full responsibility for them. Become a master of your own emotions and your shadows will become your own Leonopteryx.
YOUR GREATEST MAGIC WILL COME IN TIMES OF DARKNESS.
YOUR EXPERIENCE:
I know it feels like you are wandering alone in the desert. On one hand you feel like an innocent child with a spirit of curious wonder and on the other you feel frightened and about to take off! You can feel your current way of surviving is being fully hijacked and compromised. The wilderness of the dark night of the soul! It’s a place to wonder and ponder, and ask questions. I know it can feel scary and strange and lonely but trust me you’re going to look back on this time in awe.
You will be faced with the mirages of your own soul first… See them as illusionary tests and mirrors and they will fade as you pass them and integrate them. The bewilderment will allow for the downloads and guidance to come through. Follow the rabbit holes they will lead you through the desert and into the most incredible oasis you have ever seen and experienced.
Get excited when You feel a definite split between seeing who you were, what you can become. It is like a lightning bolt, that split, that crack is for the liquid gold to come through. The dark night of your soul will present to you how to observe being opened to your blind spots and then how to integrate the two back together as one. There was never any separation to begin with, but our human experience is about the observed view and the peripheral vision of all the minds, programs you carry within yourself.
Spend some time staring into your own eyes. Stare so long that your face disappears into a world past your thoughts and where you can rise above what you think you have known. Your soul has been woken up! It is a stunning process! It’s messy and yet so forgiving, so dark but also so illuminating. You have a choice in each moment from here on as to whether you choose to become a master of resilience, to master the art of transmutation, or return to the lower vibes of this experience.
Forget who you think you have been. Is that not the best News you have ever heard! Lol. The business, the relationship, the lifestyle, the financial wealth you seek is all connected to how you are moving through these stages! Each one brings the most incredible opportunity for you to ascend and transcend so you can ascend to re-discover everything you are. The dark night of the soul will lead you to the brightest parts of the universe!
“The Dark sky helps to see the stars…The dark night of the soul helps us to see the light within.”
– BERT McCOY
As you stand at this crossroads of profound transformation, know that your experience is as unique as you are. You may feel isolated in your struggles, but remember, countless souls walk this path alongside you. Each step into the unknown is a personal quest, a solitary journey towards a collective awakening. This stage, though shrouded in darkness, is a testament to your strength and the deep well of potential that lies within you. Embrace your experience as the cocoon that fosters your imminent metamorphosis. Going through an awakening will grant you the keys to your alchemical process.
How does this contribute to you building wealth,
health, success & happiness?
Navigating through the dark night of the soul unravels layers of hidden strengths, a process which can have a profoundly positive impact on both personal and professional areas of your life. Success in business often requires resilience, insight, and adaptability; these are qualities forged in the crucible of introspective challenges. Health is not merely the absence of disease but also the harmony of mind and body, which is enriched through the self-awareness and emotional balance gained from such transformative experiences.
Wealth, too, is a culmination of purposeful actions and smart decisions that arise from clarity of thought — an attribute that the dark night refines within you. And happiness? It becomes a more authentic state, stemming from a place of profound self-realisation and contentment with existence. In essence, moving through this period of awakening can be the catalyst for a life that thrives across the spectra of success, health, wealth, and happiness.
“I am here to guide you to your individual differentiation and your personal revolution!”
“Rising and going through the stages of Awakening can be brutal but it leads you to the paths of success, fulfilment and profound transformations.”

PONDERS AND WONDERS:
As you begin to weave together the disparate threads of your existence, remember that the dark night of the soul is not a pitfall but a portal. It grants us entrance to a reality where we can authentically recreate ourselves, unburdened by the false narratives we’ve clung to for safety. The journey inward is the bravest quest of all, for it requires one to face the entirety of their being – the light and darkness in equal measure.
Trust the process, for it’s within the complexities of our trials that we uncover our truest treasures. May you emerge not unscathed but unshackled, with a newfound understanding of the infinite nature of your spirit. Your reawakening is not just a passage through night to day, but a dance of perpetual becoming, a celebration of the undying resiliency of the human soul.
AWAKENING FITNESS:
When you have had an Awakening so many shifts happen in your mind, body, soul and spirit. Your body changes…Your mind changes…Your soul changes…Your spiritual walk changes… Finding your footing after an Awakening can be overwhelming, with all the changes and fluctuations. You need to get Mindfit, SoulFit, Bodfit, Spiritfit...to align to what you have awakened to.
RABBIT HOLE NAVIGATIONS:
I’d like to emphasise that the most Powerful resource available is your own experience with the Source, with God, in whatever way feels Authentic to you. Engaging personally with the Divine Consciousness allows you to realize who you are, providing you with all the knowledge you need through this connection. It is in the quiet moments, when you simply allow yourself to connect, ask, and enter a state of meditation, that you can commune with your creator. Your heart holds all the answers, and you possess an internal guidance system that is awakening and now requires new training and refinement. This journey involves unlearning old patterns and rediscovering how to feel in new ways!
