LIVING OUR VIBRATIONAL BEST
Living for long periods in a pool of lower vibrations (I call
the lv-pool or “lv-pull”) such as feelings of guilt, shame, fear, resentment,
anger and other lower vibrational emotions is harmful both psychologically and
physiologically. It damages even the cells in our body. Thus, if we want to
live happier, healthier lives, it is vital that we raise our vibrations.
Here are 6 steps to achieve this:
1.
Mindfulness
Living in the now is
important. Yesterday is only a place of learning not living. It doesn’t help to
linger or even take up residence there. Constantly wishing we had done things
differently is a perfect example of residing in the past. It’s an lv-pool where
our body, mind and spirit cannot thrive or sustain us over long periods of time.
So, we need to strive to live more moments in the now. Taking the time to
actually enjoy every sip of coffee instead of drinking mindlessly while
thinking of a stressful task that lies ahead is an example of being mindful in
the moment. Being mindful removes any other thoughts and emotions for a moment.
Enjoy a “mindful” stroll in the garden and breathe in the wonderful fragrances
and bathe in the wonderful colours which have been gifted to us, all the while casting
aside any other feelings or thoughts for that moment. All these blissfully “mindful”
moments add up, and they help us out of the lv-pool and into a vibrationally higher
state of wellbeing.
2. Thought Awareness
Our thoughts are energy. An analogy I often use with my clients is
to get them to imagine that their thoughts are linked to a battery. If we think
negative thoughts, we drain the battery. When we think positive thoughts, we
charge the battery. The battery is an analogy for our vital source of energy which sustains
our existence and wellbeing (body, mind and spirit). The regular use of positive
affirmations and positive self-talk will, through repetition, change our negative
and destructive thought patterns and we will start leaning towards a more positive
way of thinking. However, this can only happen when we become aware of our
thoughts. An example of a positive affirmation: I am feeling so powerful and confident right now, I feel so
strong and amazing, I am awesome. Words have power, we can feel
them vibrate within us. We should use them even if we don’t feel like it.
Putting on a fake smile while we say positive words helps too because when we
use our muscles while smiling, it alerts the subconscious mind that things are
not so bad after all, and it will then release endorphins “happy hormones” to
balance out the cortisol levels that come from the lv-pool of lower emotions, and
this is to enable the mind, body and emotions to become in sync with every aspect
of our being as a whole. We can easily fool the subconscious mind for it does
not know when we are just pretending to be strong or happy. (Knowing this, can
be used to our advantage).
3. Emotion Red Alert
The best way to remain in a higher vibrational frequency state
of being and out of the lv-pool is to create an emotional red alert or safety
net for our thoughts and emotions. To do this, we need to monitor not just our
thoughts but also our emotions. As soon as we start to feel emotionally
drained, we need to realise that we have just been hijacked by one or more of
the lv-pool vibrations and we, therefore, need to make haste and jump out of the
toxic pool. The quickest way to do this is by changing our thoughts. It’s
always useful to have a positive affirmation or mantra on hand, such as the one
mentioned above in the thought awareness step. We can also have inspirational
songs on our playlists that can uplift our spirits as soon as we start to feel down.
Be proactive and create a positive playlist just for such moments – a safety
net of sorts.
4. Colour Active
Just as thought is energy, so too is colour. It is a powerful
source of energy that we can draw on if we find ourselves landing in the
lv-pool. When we’re feeling anxious, agitated or even angry, we should stay
clear of low-frequency colours such as reds and browns and rather wear clothes on
opposite colours such as blues and greens. Instead of wearing clothing, we can
also focus on the colours, visually view them or imagine them. If we’re feeling
down or tired, we can wear yellows and oranges to bring vitality into our vibrations.
There’s nothing like the yellowish orange of a beautiful sunrise to get us
going. Being proactive by keeping pictures of sunrises and other serene pictures
of nature on our phones is advisable. An lv-pool is sadly always lurking around
the corner and can rear its head when we least expect it. So, play it safe – be
proactive and ready.
5. Laughter
Laughter is a powerful antidote against the lv-pool. As soon as
we laugh, the lv-pool spits us out. Yay – victory. Keep a few jokes on hand or
watch a few funny TikTok videos. There’s no easier way to release endorphins into
our body than a few good laughs. Goodbye lv-pool.
6. Opt
for the Higher Vibrational Trio (Love, Forgiveness and Gratitude)
It is no secret that love, forgiveness and grat
itude are emotions
that automatically bring us into a higher vibrational frequency. If we can
learn to live with emotions and thoughts of gratitude, and constantly embrace
love (especially towards ourselves), as well as being in a state of forgiveness,
then we will find ourselves living in a state of bliss and operating in a place
of equilibrium (our body, mind and spirit will be in sync, operating as a
whole). We will be healthier and happier individuals, and the lv-pool will be
nowhere near to trap us.
Conclusion
To live a fuller, happier and healthier life we need to keep out
of the lv-pool and deliberately strive for vibrational highs, without the use
of medications but rather by making use of our own innate powers with the help
of our subconscious mind. The subconscious will release endorphins on demand
once we train our thoughts and emotions to work for us and not against us.
