From Spiritual and Health Crisis to
Deeper Freedom and Fulfillment

Two years after Robear's life-changing awakening, he began experiencing what would become a five-year, all-consuming spiritual and health crisis that lasted from 2009 - 2014 which included:
 

  • Nightly and daily challenges with body energy (aka. kundalini process) such as unexplainable sensations, involuntary spasms, jerking and shaking

  • Re-experiencing previous trauma

  • Anxiety, rage, depression and suicidal thoughts

  • An inability to fall asleep or sleep for more than 2 hours at a time

  • Chronic fatigue and pain

  • Digestive difficulties and severe weight loss

  • Frustration with traditional and alternative health care professionals and spiritual teachers who didn't understand and couldn't help

  • Loss of primary relationship, business, income and debt accumulation as a result of all the above
     

Dark Night of the Soul: A lengthy period of intense spiritual crisis, existential despair and profound inner darkness that precedes significant spiritual awakening or transformation.
 

Spiritual Emergency: Stanislav Grof's term for when rapid spiritual transformation becomes so intense it disrupts everyday functioning, presenting both a crisis to navigate and an opportunity for profound growth.

​

Shamanic Illness/Shamanic Initiation: A profound spiritual crisis that often marks the beginning of a healing calling. This ancient pattern of breakdown-to-breakthrough is characterized by experiences such as:

  • Sudden, mysterious symptoms doctors can't explain

  • Disorientation or feeling "split"

  • Energy surges that overwhelm the nervous system

  • Extreme sensitivity to sound, light, emotion or other people's energy

  • A simultaneous sense of being called and cursed

  • Feeling like you're dying and being born at the same time
     

After experiencing all of this from an awakened perspective for five years and engaging in many hours of inquiry with an awakened guide over three months, he gradually emerged with a deeper understanding of pain, suffering and Self-realization. He also learned how to live with the challenges of life while embodying the peace, freedom and fulfillment that simply exists regardless of conditions.
 

The Ongoing Journey: While the all-consuming intensity of the crisis subsided in 2014, Robear discovered that spiritual emergence isn't always a one-time event. He had to significantly alter his lifestyle to honor his body's needs and remain attentive to his energy and well-being.
 

In 2020, a car accident that resulted in a head injury demonstrated how even someone stable in awakened awareness can be jarred back into crisis. Though there were no broken bones or bleeding, the impact reactivated his nervous system, bringing back racing thoughts, body sensations, and the nighttime ordeals of energy surges and spasms. For over two years, it would take 2-3 hours to fall asleep through the shaking and panic-themed thoughts.

​

The tragic loss of a close family member to suicide in 2023 triggered another wave of nervous system trauma and sleep difficulties, showing how grief and loss can also reactivate the emergence process.

​

These experiences taught him that awakening doesn't make you immune to crisis—but it does provide the tools to navigate it. His capacity to see through mental stories and be present with intense sensations became literally life-saving skills. This understanding of the cyclical, ongoing nature of spiritual emergence now informs his approach to supporting others.

While his initial search for greater stabilization, integration and embodiment was fulfilled by 2014, the journey of discovery and deepening continues. Each subsequent challenge—from physical trauma to profound grief—has deepened his understanding of how to navigate crisis from an awakened perspective. Since 2012, he's been helping others do the same, and his ongoing life experiences continue to inform his service with Live Awake Mentoring.

​

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms—whether for the first time or returning after trauma, loss, or life changes—you may be going through spiritual emergence. With proper support, these challenges can become gateways to deeper wisdom, resilience, and spiritual awakening.

​

You don't have to navigate this alone. Robear's extensive firsthand experience with spiritual emergence, combined with his awakened perspective and proven guidance skills, provides the understanding and practical support you need to stabilize, integrate, and harvest the gifts within your challenges.

“Working with Robear has helped calm my system while furthering the opening I wanted more of, that was previously kicking my butt, in a more sustainable way. He has excellent skills for helping to create, stabilize and deepen awakening and is very clear and pragmatic in teaching those skills. More interesting than the skills themselves is his ability to transmit them through his presence and embodiment, which makes working with him very potent. He also radiates an incredible amount of heart."

Sunset in the Nature

“The gift Robear gave me was his ability to see through my ego, which was acting out terror and fear like a frantic dog chasing his own tail. His simple word ‘stop’ pierced me with his loving heart, and my mind stopped. His own life experiences of the dark night of the soul make him a perfect facilitator and guide in knowing exactly how you feel with your struggle of recognizing and living the truth of who you are.”

Meditating in Nature

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, deep listening, and for laughing at the dark with me. I so appreciate how you listen from a place of deep self-knowledge and open-heartedness. Your skill at weaving insights from your own experience with powerful reflections of my journey has brought a new clarity and sense of possibility to some of my most challenging issues. I’m so grateful for your support in the profound work of learning to truly care for myself.”

“I was in crisis mode in my awakening experience, and Robear was just what the universe ordered. He gave me foundational tools that were immensely helpful that I use to this day. The greatest value that I received from Robear was his huge heart. I could feel his love and desire to help me at all cost—like it was more than just a job for him, but a passion.”
