5 Signs You're Spiritually Disconnected (and How to Reconnect Gently)
There are moments in life when you feel “off,” but can’t quite put your finger on why. You might feel uninspired, unmotivated, or strangely numb—even if everything looks “fine” on the outside.
This quiet discomfort is often a sign of spiritual disconnection.
Spiritual disconnection doesn’t always mean you’ve stopped believing in something bigger. It’s not always dramatic or obvious. Often, it’s subtle. A slow drift away from your inner truth. A loss of connection to the sacred part of yourself. A sense that something deeper is missing.
For women 35 and over, this can hit especially hard. You’ve lived through enough seasons to know what burnout feels like. You’ve cared for others, built careers, or navigated big life transitions. But somewhere in all that giving, striving, and surviving—you may have lost connection to you.
If you’ve been feeling that inner tug for more, this blog post is for you.
Here are five powerful signs that you may be spiritually disconnected—and simple, gentle ways to begin reconnecting.
1. You Feel Emotionally Numb or Chronically Restless
You’re going through the motions. You might be busy, even productive—but emotionally, you feel flat. Or, you may feel the opposite: agitated and restless, always chasing the next thing but never feeling satisfied.
This is a sign your spirit is craving stillness. Not just physical rest, but soul-level presence.
How to Gently Reconnect:
Start a daily ritual of quiet. Just five minutes in the morning or evening with no phone, no noise—just you and your breath. Light a candle. Place your hand on your heart. Ask yourself, What do I need today that I’ve been ignoring?
2. You’re Disconnected from a Sense of Purpose
When you're spiritually disconnected, even the things that once lit you up can feel meaningless. You might feel like you’re drifting, uncertain why you’re doing what you’re doing. This lack of clarity can quietly drain your energy and joy.
How to Gently Reconnect:
Revisit your “why.” Journal about what matters to you—not to others, but to you. Ask yourself: If I didn’t have to impress anyone or check any boxes, how would I want to live? Purpose doesn’t have to be grand—it’s found in meaningful alignment with your values.
3. You Feel Alone—Even When Surrounded by People
You might have a full calendar or a busy home, yet still feel lonely. That inner emptiness isn’t about your external relationships—it’s about the absence of your relationship with yourself.
Spiritual disconnection creates this kind of loneliness because you’ve stopped hearing your own soul speak.
How to Gently Reconnect:
Reconnect with the part of you that’s been left behind. Meditation, breathwork, or nature walks can help you access that still inner voice. Consider practices like journaling, intuitive movement, or sound immersion to bring you back into soulful communion with yourself.
4. You’re Overly Focused on Control, Perfection, or Achievement
When we lose connection to something greater than ourselves, we often try to fill the gap with overachievement, overthinking, or control. You may feel an urgent need to “fix” everything, chase success, or micromanage your life.
It’s exhausting. And it’s a sign that you’re trying to survive without spiritual support.
How to Gently Reconnect:
Soften your grip. Practice surrender. That could mean starting your day with the simple phrase, “I don’t have to do it all. I just have to stay present.” Trust is a muscle, and spiritual reconnection begins when you let go and listen more deeply than you act.
5. You’re Disconnected from Awe, Wonder, and the Sacred
One of the clearest signs of spiritual disconnection is a loss of reverence. Life feels flat, transactional, or purely practical. You stop noticing the beauty in small things. You lose that spark of awe that once made you feel alive and held.
How to Gently Reconnect:
Start noticing beauty again. Noticing is the first act of devotion. Step outside and pay attention to the sky. Play music that moves you. Speak gratitude aloud. Create small sacred rituals—pouring tea slowly, lighting incense, drawing an oracle card—anything that invites the sacred back into your everyday life.
Why This Matters More Than Ever for Women 35+
This stage of life holds tremendous power. You’re entering a season of deep knowing, unlearning, and reclaiming. But it can also bring a spiritual void if you’ve spent decades disconnected from your own truth.
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a spiritual crossroads.
It’s a chance to choose alignment over performance, presence over productivity, connection over chaos.
You don’t have to overhaul your life. You just need to gently come home to yourself—one breath, one intention, one aligned choice at a time.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

You’re not broken. You’re not lost. You’re just being called back to yourself.
Spiritual disconnection is not failure—it’s a pause. A message. A whisper from your soul asking you to listen.
