You’ve Woken Up. Now What?
Awakening Integration Guide
My Story
For over four decades I thought I was doing everything right. I studied hard, got good grades, earned my college degree, got my MBA, landed a great job and never said no to a single opportunity to advance my career. I was checking every box the system told me to check.
But somewhere along the way I realized I was living someone else's version of my life and it was costing me everything that actually mattered.
I'm Garrett Shanafelt, a husband and father of three, and a former IT executive who spent over 26 years climbing the corporate ladder and walked away from it all after my own awakening changed everything. It was the best decision I ever made. Now I help others navigate their own awakening journey so they don't have to do it alone.

You didn't stumble across this page by accident. You are waking up and it’s turning your world upside down. You’ve started questioning the reality you were raised to accept. The systems you once trusted no longer feel right. The news. The government. The education system. The 9-to-5 grind. Things that once felt normal now feel misaligned and the life you worked so hard to build suddenly feels like it belongs to someone else.
For many people this shift is overwhelming, confusing, and deeply isolating. Your entire sense of reality is being called into question. The people closest to you don't understand what you are going through and some of them think you’ve completely lost your mind. You feel alone in the middle of the most profound experience of your life and you have no idea what to do next.
That is where an Awakening Integration Guide comes in.
I am not a therapist, life coach, or spiritual healer. I’m someone who has walked this path firsthand and now helps others navigate it. My role is to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, stay grounded during the process, and find a practical way to move forward.
If you feel like something inside you is waking up and you’re not sure what to do with it, you don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s exactly why I am here.
Book a Session
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Whether you're just beginning to wake up and trying to make sense of what's happening, or you're deep in the middle of your awakening journey and feeling lost, I'm here to help you find clarity and keep moving forward.
If you're ready to stop navigating this alone, book an Awakening Integration Session and let's get to work!
More from @dad_gone_cosmic
The awakening journey doesn't stop when our session ends. If you're looking to go deeper, I've written a visionary fiction trilogy called The Quanta Chronicles that combines consciousness, spirituality, quantum physics, universal law, and reality creation into an engaging story. While written for young adults, the trilogy resonates with readers of all ages, especially those going through their own awakening journey and is a powerful companion to everything I discuss in my sessions and across my social media platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
An Awakening Integration Guide is not a therapist, life coach, or spiritual healer. It is someone who has walked the path of spiritual awakening firsthand and can walk alongside you as you navigate yours. Someone who understands both the science and the spiritual side of what you are experiencing and can help you make sense of it, process it, and build a practical path forward. Think of it as having a trusted guide who has already been where you are and knows the terrain.
-
Therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions and is conducted by licensed clinical professionals. Life coaching typically focuses on goal setting and performance. What I offer is neither of those things. My sessions are experiential guidance based on my own firsthand journey through spiritual awakening and post-awakening integration. I am not here to diagnose, treat, or fix anything. I am here to help you understand what you are going through, normalize your experience, and help you figure out your next steps.
-
These sessions are for people who have recently begun questioning the reality they were raised to accept. If you have started to see through the systems around you and feel confused, isolated, or lost as a result, you are in the right place. If your friends and family think you have lost your mind, if your career suddenly feels meaningless, if you feel like there is nobody in your life who truly understands what you are going through, these sessions were created specifically for you.
-
These sessions are not for people who are fully awakened and have been navigating their journey successfully for some time. They are also not a replacement for licensed therapy, medical treatment, or psychological counseling. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis please reach out to a licensed mental health professional immediately. These are also not religious or faith based sessions and are not affiliated with any specific spiritual tradition or belief system.
-
Every session begins with understanding where you are right now on your journey. I ask about what triggered your awakening, what you are currently struggling with, and what you are hoping to get out of our time together. From there I draw on my own experience and knowledge of quantum physics, consciousness, spirituality, universal laws, reality creation, and practical integration tools to help you make sense of what you are going through. Every session ends with a clear set of next steps and practical tools you can apply immediately.

If you've been feeling like something has shifted in you but you can't quite explain it, if the life you've built no longer feels like enough, or if you're overwhelmed, isolated, or searching for answers, you're ready. You don't need to have it all figured out before you book. That's exactly what the session is for. If any of this resonates with you, trust that feeling and take the step.
-
That uncertainty is actually one of the most common signs that you are. Most people going through a spiritual awakening do not have a name for what is happening to them at first. They just know that something has fundamentally shifted and that the life they were living no longer feels like their own. If you have been questioning reality, feeling disconnected from your old identity, or sensing that there is something much bigger going on beneath the surface, book a session and let's talk about it.
-
You don't need to prepare anything. Just show up as you are with an open mind and a willingness to have an honest conversation. There are no right or wrong answers and no judgment. The intake form you fill out when booking gives me everything I need to show up prepared on my end so all you need to do is show up.
-
All sessions are conducted virtually via Zoom. You will receive a unique Zoom link in your booking confirmation email immediately after scheduling. All you need is a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly. Sessions are one hour long.
-
Life happens and I completely understand that. If you need to cancel or reschedule please do so at least 24 hours before your session using the link in your booking confirmation email. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the session are non-refundable. Rescheduling within the 24 hour window will be handled on a case by case basis. If you have any issues please reach out directly at dadgonecosmic@gmail.com and I will do my best to work with you.
