Waking Up in 5D: A Guide to Living From the Sacred Heart in a New Earth Reality

The Sacred Heart…

Have you ever felt like you’re living in two worlds at once?

One foot still planted in a world of duty, deadlines, and duality… and the other foot hesitantly stepping into something softer, more spacious, more luminous—a reality that whispers to your soul: You were made for more than this.

If so, you’re not alone. And you’re not imagining things.

According to mystic and multidimensional teacher Maureen J. St. Germain, author of Waking Up in 5D, we are in the midst of a powerful planetary shift in consciousness. More and more of us are being called to “wake up in 5D”—to begin living not from fear, control, and scarcity (3D), but from love, flow, and inner knowing (5D).

This is not just a New Age buzzword or spiritual bypass. It’s a quantum leap in human evolution. And it changes everything.

In this blog post, I’ll guide you through some of the key principles in Waking Up in 5D and how they align with other teachings I’ve studied and integrated—including Spiritual Science, Quantum Thinking, and my own lived experience as a later-diagnosed neurodivergent woman navigating the terrain of soul recovery, relationship repair, and the sacred work of Becoming.

Let’s begin.

What Is 5D Consciousness?

5D, or fifth-dimensional consciousness, is a state of being—not a place. It’s an inner frequency, a way of perceiving reality through the heart rather than the mind.

In 5D:

Time is nonlinear.
Love is unconditional.
Unity replaces separation.
Intuition leads over logic.
And your sacred connection to Source is direct and unmediated.

You remember who you really are.

You also start to live in alignment with the truth that your thoughts, words, and emotions are creative forces. What you vibrate is what you attract.

This is similar to what I shared in my ebook Spiritual Science Made Simple, where I describe 5D as the Soul-Led Self—a state in which the ego no longer runs the show, and life transforms into a collaborative dance with the quantum field. Howard Falco calls this the moment of “I AM”—when you realize you are the author of your experience and surrender to a higher awareness of self.

But what does this look like in real life?

3D vs. 5D: How to Spot the Difference

Maureen J. St. Germain offers helpful charts and checklists in her book, contrasting 3D and 5D traits. Here’s a simple comparison:

3D Consciousness	5D Consciousness
Reactivity	Responsiveness
Judgment and fear	Compassion and trust
Competition	Collaboration and co-creation
Attachment to outcome	Surrender and flow
Victim mindset	Sovereignty and soul authorship

This echoes what Richard Rohr calls “Transcendence Deficit Disorder”—our collective over-identification with the small self, the ego, the finite. In The Divine Dance, he speaks of reawakening to the flow of Divine Love—the same love that is the 5D frequency.

Similar themes are present in Angelo DiLullo’s Awake. He describes spiritual awakening not as something added to us but as a removal of illusion—a remembering of our true, already-whole nature. The shift is subtle but life-changing.

Living From the Sacred Heart

One of the core practices in Waking Up in 5D is learning to drop into the Sacred Heart—an energetic centre in your chest where you feel unity, love, and divine guidance.

When we lead from the Sacred Heart:

We respond instead of reacting.
We choose love over being right.
We trust our inner guidance even when logic says otherwise.

This practice resonates deeply with what I call Reclaiming Your Inner Sovereignty, a key phase in my 3Rs framework—Rebuilding, Reclaiming, and Remembering. It’s about coming home to the part of you that was never broken, never defined by trauma, ADHD, divorce, estrangement, or societal roles.

This heart-based intelligence is the gateway to 5D.

Practical Tools for 5D Living

You don’t have to wait for a “perfect life” or an ashram retreat to start living in 5D. Here are a few grounded practices from St. Germain and others that you can begin now:

Merkabah Activation

A star tetrahedron light body field that surrounds your physical body.
Activating it through breath, intention, and geometry enhances protection, intuition, and ascension energy.
I use this alongside Heart Coherence practices to create a daily “spiritual hygiene” reset.

Daily “I AM” Statements

Example: I AM the Light. I AM Love. I AM guided and always protected.
These affirmations program the subconscious and align you with divine frequency, something echoed in the Law of Magnetic Attraction, another area I’ve written about.

Emotional Mastery

Emotions are energy in motion. In 5D, you become a conscious steward of your emotional field.
Use EFT Tapping or energy psychology (like I share in my ADHD coaching programs) to transmute lower vibrations quickly.

Spiritual Housekeeping

Transparent negative entities, old contracts, and energetic debris.
Visualise a Tube of Light or violet flame. Call in Archangel Michael or your own higher self-team.

Why This Matters Right Now

So many of us are waking up from the trance of trauma and limitation.

Whether you’re:

Rebuilding your life after divorce or narcissistic abuse,
Navigating neurodivergent relationships,
Processing inherited family trauma, or
Ready to remember your spiritual purpose…

You are invited to upgrade your operating system, shed old skins, and live in alignment with your Soul, not your scripts.

This is what Waking Up in 5D prepares us for.

It’s the journey from surviving to thriving, from reactivity to radiance, from self-abandonment to Self-Realisation.

It’s the bridge from I’ve had enough of this old life to I’m ready to co-create the New Earth.

Where to Begin

If you feel the resonance of this call to 5D:

Start a Sacred Morning Practice (5–10 minutes of breath, heart connection, and intention-setting).
Read Waking Up in 5D alongside my book Spiritual Science Made Simple for grounded integration.
Join our Rebuild Your Life Facebook Group, where we explore soul-aligned living in safe, nurturing company.
Journal each night on: Did I respond from love today? Where was I stuck in 3D? What helped me shift?
