We’ve all heard of the term vibe, right? Vibe is short for vibration, vibration is your overall state of being. We are a ‘being’ that is made up of different energy levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Each of these levels has a vibrational frequency, each level combine creates your overall vibration. Everything in the universe (including yourself) is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. All vibrations operate at high and low frequencies.
When you’re vibrating at a low frequency your usually tried or drained, nothing excites you, your money flow has stopped, or your probably are surrounded by negative people. When your vibration is high however, this is that beautiful sense of living in the flow. Here you may be inviting inspiring people into life, jumping out of bed each day full of optimism. To others it may appear that you have all the luck in the world, when in actual fact you’ve invited it all in on your own. It is helpful to be aware that like energy attracts energy.
So, remember… POSITIVE THOUGHTS ONLY!!!!
How do we raise our vibration? I know it sounds complex but I’m here to tell you, it’s very simple!
1. Become conscious of your thoughts.
Every single thought that comes into your head has an impact on you. When you change those thoughts and think positive, positive actions will begin to happen. When a negative thought comes into your head, thank it for showing up and dismiss it. The more you do this, the more positive thinking will become natural.
2. Become conscious of the food you eat.
Some foods vibrate low and some vibrate high. If the food you consume is covered in pesticides, it will leave you feeling weaker. So will artificial, chemicalized processed foods. The good, high-vibrational foods are organic fruits, veggies, nuts, and healthy proteins. The low vibrational foods are flour-based cereals, flour/wheat, dairy, and sugars. This is not always true for everyone. Make sure to pay attention to how you feel immediately after eating something. Listen to your body, it will tell you what you need.
3. Meditate on a regular basis.
Even if you only have a minute, take time to be silent. Meditating is a time when you connect with a higher power and your intuition. I used to have the hardest time meditating. I had trouble sitting still and clearing my mind, which meant I needed it more than ever, so I made the practice a priority. You can meditate anywhere! I normally meditate in my bed before I fall asleep, or on my way to work. Yes, you can meditate without sitting on the ground with your legs crossed! Its all in the state of your mind.
4. Remove yourself from friends or family members who make you feel uneasy.
A lot of the time we remain friends with people who no longer serve us any benefit. It’s ok to let go, letting go can be the hardest thing to do in life but the joy it will bring you in the long run with have a everlasting effect on how you treat yourself. Remember we are here to grow, learn and become our true self.
5. Become conscious of what your music is telling you.
Lyrics of hate, pain, violence, drama and fear send messages to your subconscious. If you want to attract love, listen to songs about real passionate long-lasting love. If you want peace, listen to music about peace and relaxation. If you want wealth listen to motivational music or podcast. Remember uplifting music will fill soul more then you would ever know.
6. Be aware of your home environment.
You’re in your home a lot, make sure you have positive influences around you. Incorporate things like paintings, photographs, crystals, statues, mantras, books, magazine, flowers, plants, and adding pop of colors to your walls will help with your mood. Get your home high by getting your Feng Shui on.
7. Reduce the amount of low-vibrational television you watch.
Many shows on TV are violent dramas that focus on the negative. It’s a constant stream of negativity brought directly to your home. On top of that, there are commercials that have you thinking you need pills to fix your problems and that you have to buy expensive jewelry to show someone you love them. Limiting your time watching tv will help you focus on projects that matter more.
8. Become aware of the vibrational levels of your acquaintances, friends, and extended family.
You can raise your own energy levels by hanging out with people who vibrate highly. Choose to surround yourself with people who are empowering, have the same morals as you, life goals and are driven to succeed. Your friends are a reflection of you, remember to choose them wisely.
9. Practice random acts of kindness and expect nothing in return.
Give some money to someone less fortunate than you. Donate to a cause you believe in. Pay for the toll of the person behind you on the parkway. Send a thoughtful gift to someone you haven’t spoken to in years. Donate clothing to a shelter. Pick up a piece of garbage and throw it away. Don’t do it for the thank you and don’t expect one. Do it out of the kindness of your heart.
10. Practice compassion and forgiveness.
Forgiving and having compassion for someone who hurt you may be the hardest thing for you to do on this list, but it’s one of the most important. You are no longer the victim and your abuser holds none of your power. Thoughts of revenge are low vibrational while thoughts of forgiveness are high. Just by thinking thoughts of forgiveness about someone in your past without taking any action will raise your vibration.
Lastly, place affirmations in spaces where you’ll notice them and read them throughout the day. Post them on your bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator, or on the dashboard of your car. Every time you see one, read it in your head or out loud at least three times or as many as you need.
Remember to love yourself, this is one of the most important parts of becoming your true self. I wish you love, light and blessings on your new beginning.
