Raising your Vibrations – Some Basics

Keeping our personal vibrations high is so important as it definitely influences the Universal Consciousness. So let’s see if I can help you with maintaining your vibrations.

We all know the feeling and sensation of low vibration. Feelings and thoughts determine the level of our vibrations to a greater degree than we realize. Our energy is low when we are feeling depressed, down, worried or angry or some physical symptoms. Negative thinking outweighs positive thinking. Negativity adds weight to our thoughts and emotions, making them heavier making us feel bogged down. Raising our vibrations makes the thoughts and emotions lighter. The story-telling mind does not have to weigh us down. We can act on training the mind to think more positively and do use some of the tools below to raise our vibrations again.

First we need to understand that we all have our own frequencies that vibrate from the center of our being, our own life force energy, our inner fire, our soul power station, if you will. Every cell in our body produces energy. The frequency we emit, that others may detect (animals and kids are really good at that) changes from moment to moment, through our thoughts and feelings. Today I had the idea that our energy frequency is moving on a scale, between fear/worry on one end and love at the other. Let’s start with fear- many emotions such as anger, greed, jealousy, hate are based on fear. The more we can move away from fear and move towards love and trust, the easier it is to raise vibrations and be more positive in life. Moving towards love starts with loving yourself. Be kind to yourself, let go of self-judgment, realize when those judging thoughts do come up and gently let them go. Acknowledge you are experiencing the dark night of the soul, now you can act to get yourself out of it, see the light again.

Here is a thing I realized about worry. We worry a lot about things in the future. But we can influence certain outcomes now. In fact, now is the only moment we can do something. So rather than being frozen in the moment out of worry, act now to move towards to the wanted goal. In some situations, we do not have control over the outcome, such as medical test results. To worry is a waste of energy, because at the time before we get the results, there are still two possible outcomes, two possible realities, one good and one bad. So why waste energy on focusing on the bad? As Brett Dennen suggests in his song: “Darlin’,do not fear what you don’t reallyknow.” I realized that many times when I was waiting for medical test results. This song helped me to pull through the waiting period with patience.

So, if you got stuck in a moment, in a hole, I can give you a hand to get out, but you still have to make the effort to reach for it and pull yourself out of it. Here are some tools you may use.

• Visualize your inner light, that ever burning flame expanding and getting bigger and brighter again, filling your body with radiance and light. You can tap into the Universal Life Force energy available all around you, to fuel your inner flame. You visualize that a white column of light enters through your crown chakra on top of your head. The light filling your body through and through.

• Tune into higher vibration from inside of yourself (Baker’s Quote). Here is how I do that: Sense the light, the vibration and frequency within you and now focus on increasing the frequency. It sometimes helps to visualize it as a ball of light and energy, getting bigger and bigger.
• Visualize breathing in light, breathing out a dark cloud (that is all the negativity, a cleansing breath)
• Vitality breath: Standing with your legs hip-width apart. You will inhale in a three-part breath, deepening the breath with each inhale, while moving your arms. During the first short inhale through your nostrils, you raise your arms shoulder-level in front of you, second breath (adding air to the first inhale) arms fly out to the side, opened wide. With the third inhale, you raise your arms over head. Now swing your arms down as you bend over and exhale all that breath forcefully through your mouth. Repeat about five times, feels cleansing and vitalizing.
•  Go for a walk in nature, sit outside under a tree and listen to the birds and the win
• Look into the stars and the moon at night
• Meditate
• Laugh out loud. Watch something funny on tv or the internet or read something funny.
• Use affirmations. Imagine, sense and feel the words manifest within your body. Here are some good examples: “My vibrations are high and balanced.” “I am radiant.” “Potential grows into reality with patience and care.” “Every day in every way, I am getting better and better.” Come up with your own, do not only think and say the words, feel and believe them to be true.
• Dance like no one is watching
•  Listen to your favorite musi
• Sing in the car, during your walk or shower or while doing chores – that helps to clear the throat chakra and suppressed words and feelings.
• Play like a kid
•  Create art – draw, paint, sculpt, write, whatever.
• Surround yourself with positive people.
• Be grateful for what you do have. Do the gratitude dance (suggestion of my friend Sheena)

Try to not depend too much on outside circumstances and people to make you feel better and raise your vibration, but trust that the source of lighting your inner flame lies within you. Come on, blessed one, light your inner fire, I promise you it will take you higher!
