Vibration, or vibrational frequency, is a fascinating concept that transcends the physical realm and delves into the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of existence. You've likely heard the term "raise my vibration," but what does it truly mean? Is it just a new-age buzzword? Let's dive in.
Vibration is the oscillation of energy. Everything in the universe, from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest celestial body, vibrates at a unique core frequency. Our beliefs act as filters through which we perceive the world. Positive beliefs generate positive thoughts and emotions, while limiting beliefs generate negative thoughts and emotions. Positive, uplifting thoughts and emotions emit high-frequency vibrations that attract positive experiences, while negative thoughts and emotions emit low-frequency vibrations that can lead to negative outcomes.
The colloquial terms "low vibe," "bad vibes," "high vibe," and "good vibes" are used describe emotional states and their corresponding energy levels. This concept was popularized by teachings like those of Abraham-Hicks, who propose a scale of emotions ranging from low-vibration feelings such as fear and anger to high-vibration feelings such as joy and love.
As complex beings navigating a three-dimensional reality, we inevitably experience a range of both low-vibration and high-vibration states of being, but generally we stay in the low to mid range on the vibrational scale. However, as we're confronted with life’s challenges, we can get caught in a downward spiral. We often feel powerless as we sink lower. Guilt, shame and isolation keep us there and it’s hard to see a way out.
Vibrational Resonance
Vibrational resonance is the unseen force that facilitates human interaction. Every living being has their own unique energy signature, or frequency. This is what allows us to interact with the world around us on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. When our energy is in alignment with another person, thing, or place, we resonate with them. This creates a connection that can be felt on a deep level.
When we feel excitement and joy, we are resonating with our true self and this gives us a clue that we are on the right path in life. It is said that excitement is the physical translation of the vibrational resonance that is our true, core natural being.
Spiritual Awakening and Vibrations
During a spiritual awakening, we experience a heightened sense of awareness and connection to the universe. This shift in consciousness reveals our true nature as energetic beings, and we start to realize that our vibrational frequency, embodying our energy, vibration, and awareness, is pivotal in shaping our reality and encounters. It dawns on us that we are not humans with a soul, but rather souls temporarily residing in human bodies. We know that our presence on earth was driven by a desire to encounter the 3rd dimension, which is unique for its duality.
As life begins to make sense, we feel excited upon realizing that we hold the key to shaping our own 3D reality, often expressing this through... discussions about vibration! As conscious energetic beings, we learn to tap into our intuition and other "psychic" abilities to influence the vibrational frequencies around us. The universe responds, giving us signals we're on the path towards our core vibrational frequency and our new ability to recognize these signs can cause a lot of excitement!
A Spiritual Awakening Doesn't Equal High Vibrations
Following a spiritual awakening, our initial inclination is to engage in all things spiritual! We go to spiritual retreats, meditate, practice mindfulness, and sometimes even go on psychedelic journeys. We want to expand our consciousness and tap into higher states of awareness as quickly as possible. What sometimes gets overlooked are the low vibe parts of our self (also known as our "shadow self"). There seems to be a misconception among some individuals that by elevating the higher aspects of our vibration significantly, the lower vibrational emotions will automatically improve as well. Spoiler Alert: that assumption is incorrect.
