Understanding Vibrational Energy
Have you ever wondered what people are talking about when they say “high vibe” or “good vibes only” or “raising your vibrational energy?”
Maybe you’ve heard the phrases before, but weren’t sure what they meant?
Vibrational energy, aka energy frequency or vibrational frequency, is something that has been gaining momentum in recent years, particularly in the realms of spirituality, holistic healing, and even quantum physics. It's a term that may sound esoteric or mystical (maybe a little woo woo), but is rooted in the idea that everything in the Universe, including ourselves, is in a state of constant vibration. Everything is energy and everything puts out a certain vibrational frequency. Today, we'll explore the fascinating world of vibrational energy, its significance, and how you can use it in your daily life.
The Basics of Vibrational Energy
At its core, vibrational energy is the idea that everything has a specific vibrational frequency. In physics, we can observe this through phenomena like sound waves and light waves, but the concept extends far beyond the physical world. Proponents of vibrational energy believe that thoughts, emotions, and even the foods we eat can have their own unique vibrational frequencies.
This concept stems from ancient wisdom and can be found in various cultural and spiritual traditions. For example, in Indian philosophy and Ayurveda, there's a belief in chakras, which are said to be spinning energy centers in the body, each associated with a specific vibrational frequency and color.
The Law of Attraction
One of the most popular applications of vibrational energy is the Law of Attraction. This law suggests that like attracts like, and if you align your thoughts, feelings, and vibrational energy with your desires, you can manifest them into reality.
Have you ever heard the quote by Rumi that says “What you seek is seeking you?” Or maybe the saying “like attracts like.” It’s the idea that when you are vibrating at a certain frequency, you’ll attract others that are also vibrating at the same frequency. For example, have you ever noticed that people who gossip a lot tend to hang out with other people who gossip? And that those people aren’t very fun to hang out with? When you gossip, you lower your vibrational frequency because you are putting out “bad vibes” into the world. You aren’t doing anything good for the world or yourself and you certainly aren’t doing anything good for the person or people being gossiped about.
Anyway, if you can maintain a positive mindset, act in a positive manner, and focus on the things you want to attract into your life you'll be more likely to experience those things. The Law of Attraction highlights the role of vibrational energy in shaping our lives and underscores the importance of maintaining a high, positive vibration.
So how can you raise your vibrational frequency?
If you're intrigued by the concept of vibrational energy and want to harness its power, here are some practices that can help you raise your vibrational frequency:
Meditation
Meditation allows you to quiet your mind, release stress, and raise your vibrational frequency. It can help you connect with your inner self and tap into higher vibrations.
If you find that traditional means of meditating aren’t working for you, I suggest either trying a moving meditation or expressive arts based meditation. I have had profound shifts and awakenings doing both of these things. Gabrielle Roth, founder of the 5Rhythms movement practice said that “the fastest way to still the mind is to move the body.” I find this to be true for myself and I find that often times there is either a lot of stuck energy in my body OR my body has something it needs to express. More on that later and perhaps in a different post!
Positive Affirmations
Repeating positive affirmations can help reprogram your mind and shift your vibrational energy towards positivity and abundance. Like I mentioned before, like attracts like. If you want to bring more positivity into your life, then focus on the positives that are already happening in your life. If you’re struggling to do that, I suggest reading more of my blog posts on gratitude and perhaps getting yourself some items from my shop that will help you on your gratitude journey. Once you see what you are grateful for, you can create positive affirmations that you repeat every day to yourself.
Healthy Eating
Consuming fresh, whole foods with high vibrational frequencies can nourish your body and contribute to a more balanced and harmonious energy state. The body was meant to consume fresh foods. Ever heard the phrase “you are what you eat?” Incorporating fresh foods into your diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables can help purify and nourish the body.
Crystals and Gemstones
Some believe (me) that certain crystals and gemstones have unique vibrational properties that can assist in raising your vibrational frequency. For example, amethyst is associated with spiritual growth and higher consciousness and rose quartz is associated with love and the heart. Each crystal vibrates with a certain frequency and also coincides with the different chakra that is the same color.
If you want to focus on opening your heart to love or new experiences, try getting crystals that are pink or green. One of my favorites is watermelon tourmaline. If you want to learn more about crystals & gemstones and all of their properties, I suggest the book “The Book of Stones: Who They Are & What They Teach.” I LOVE this book and it has everything you could possibly need or want in a book about stones, including the properties of each stone, information about working with the stones & an affirmation you can use with each stone.
Sound Healing
Sound therapy, including singing bowls, gongs, and chanting, is thought to harmonize your body's energy and raise your vibrational frequency. If you haven’t tried any sort of sound healing, I suggest doing a quick search for events in your area. If you don’t see anything, there are plenty of videos on YouTube and other channels you could find. I personally prefer live events, but you can still benefit from sound healing in the comfort of your own home.
Synchronicity and Flow
When you align your vibrational energy with your desires and the positive energies of the universe, you may start noticing synchronicities in your life. These are meaningful coincidences that seem to be more than random chance. It's as if the Universe is responding to your raised vibrational frequency and sending you signs and opportunities.
There is so much to discuss in terms of synchronicities so we won’t go into too much depth here, but these are things like you thinking about wanting a new job and talking about it with your friends and then someone coming up to you with the perfect job offer. Or you thinking about buying new golf clubs and then going to dump your trash and finding a used set of golf clubs someone has left sitting by the dumpster…yes both of these things have happened to me lol And no I do not have any shame in accepting gifts from the Universe!
When your vibrational energy rises, you may experience a sense of flow in your life. Tasks become easier, creativity flows more freely, and you find yourself in the right place at the right time. This state of flow is often considered a sign that you're in harmony with the universe.
Flow state is also something else I’ll discuss in another post, but for now just know that when you raise your vibration, synchronicities, gifts, and seemingly tiny miracles start to happen if you pay attention to your surroundings.
While vibrational energy may appear mystical or even far-fetched, it's a concept deeply rooted in various spiritual and holistic traditions. Whether you choose to embrace it or not, there's no denying the power of positive thinking, gratitude, and living a healthy, balanced life!
By raising your vibrational frequency, you can open yourself up to a world of possibilities and live a life that's more in tune with your desires and the Universe as a whole. It's a journey that offers both practical and mystical rewards, and it's up to you to decide how far you want to explore it.
