Shift Your Vibration
We Are All Vibrational Beings
At our core, our vibration is relatively constant, and uniquely identifiable. It is a compilation of all that we have been, and all that we will be.
On the surface, our vibration shifts regularly, to do both with how we respond to our external environment, as well as how we “manage” ourselves internally, on any given day.
How Do We “Shift”?
When you feel you’re having a bad day, there are some things you can do to shift the energy rather quickly:
Short Answer: Indulge Your Senses!
- Play pleasing music,
- Look at something picturesque,
- Smell the flowers,
- Walk in the grass,
- Hug a tree,
Below is a more thorough discussion on things you can do TODAY to Shift Your Vibration. Enjoy.
For each category, pick the solutions that seem simplest for you to implement and do them right away. Ease the pain. Then, when you are a little more relaxed, you can delve deeper into each of the subject areas and develop longer term solutions. Enjoy.
What You Ingest:
Food
Eat lighter foods. The closer it is to being “alive” the better it will make you feel. (Fresh picked vegetables are considered “alive”). Also, make sure you get enough protein. When we don’t get enough protein our energy levels drop. Thirdly, try your best to avoid chemicals and pesticides and additives such as MSG, high fructose corn syrup and of course seed oils. This can, at times, be hard to do because it is seemingly in everything.
Air
Pay attention to your surroundings. The air in the city is not nearly as pure as the air by the ocean, or in the country, or on a mountaintop. Give yourself a break once in awhile and go to a nice location where the air is purer and breathe deeply. Clean out your lungs.
Water
In the very least invest in a simple Water filter. It doesn’t cost that much and you will be much happier. Chlorine kills everything in your stomach, good and bad, and will lead to digestive issues. Better still, spend some time and energy on a more powerful filtration system and perhaps mineral additives. Or, find yourself some pure spring water to drink. We all need to drink more water. Part of the reason we don’t, I believe, is that we instinctually know our water is poisoning us, so we hold off. Take care of the water issue NOW!
What You Experience:
See
Pay attention to your surroundings. Find pleasing things to look at, like artwork you enjoy. Notice the colours that you wear, the colours on the walls in your house, and the colours of the accessories you carry with you. Seek out colours that make you FEEL good. This changes. Daily. Support yourself by providing a number of colour choices in your wardrobe.
Hear
Find and play music you enjoy. That inspires you and motivates you. Surround yourself with sounds and vibrations that work for different moods or tasks you may want to accomplish. For example, meditation music is very different than dinner-making music. Spend some time finding new sounds that you enjoy and find a way to add them to your collection.
Smell
Aroma is important. We may not notice it unless it is strong – either good or bad, but even subtle scents can affect our mood and our thoughts. Fund some scents that please you and keep them handy. Some people get headaches from artificial scents because they are created with chemicals. The more natural the better. A simple trick for making your house smell nice is to simmer some lemons and herbs in a pot on your stove
Taste
Introduce yourself to some new flavours, or make a concerted effort to find yourself something to indulge in that stimulates your taste buds. Eating is supposed to be a pleasurable indulgence.
Feel
Wear clothes that are comfortable. Pick up objects like stones, crystals, sea shells…. objects that have a calming, natural vibration to them. Hug a tree.
What You Perceive:
Thoughts
Thoughts are a big one. We can get really bogged down by those big thought forms circling around and around in our heads. The goal is to change it up. Get out of the thought “vortex” and find something new to focus on. And remember, the majority of these thought forms are not yours, you are just temporarily stuck in them.
For example, if you are a sensitive person, and someone that “needs” you and/or is focusing on you, they can drag you into a thought vortex – often without you being aware of where the energies are coming from. And, if you are not aware of the source, you might not understand why you can’t seem to escape the constant looping. Because it’s not really yours.
How do we resolve this? First off, try not to engage fully in the experience. Observe, don’t absorb. Be aware that most energy you feel is not your own. We live in a busy world, and we are constantly intertwined with other’s energies and thoughts. It’s great to be helpful to others, but not at the expense of your own energy base. You are of more assistance to others if you can Shift Your Own Vibration, and then can offer others a “boost up” rather than hanging out in the mud with everyone else. Some helpful ideas on how to shift that focus:
Some Solutions
- Focus on a things that are important to you and that give you joy.
- Use other powerful tools such as sound and vibration to give you a boost out.
- Engage in an activity that requires 100% of your attention, as this way you cannot return to that thought form. Sports are great for this. Chasing some sort of little ball around may, to some, seem like a pointless pursuit, but if it captures your focus and attention it is a great way of clearing your mind of cluttering thoughts. Also, running around makes you breathe deeply and gets the blood circulating which helps in clearing stuck energies.
Emotions
Emotions are an incredibly powerful tool, if used to your advantage. Much like thoughts, it may take time to realize that not all emotions that we feel are our own. Throughout the day, we may use our emotions as a navigation tool….what “feels” right? Move towards that. Often this takes practice, -e xperiencing our emotions, and making choices based on those “feelings”. Over the long term, if we master this method of communication, we can become powerful manifesters.
In the short term, emotions can at times feel like a burden. Which is why there are so many activities and substances on this planet designed to dullen our emotions. Suppress them such that we cannot “feel” anymore. The solution for getting out of this loop is similar to that of problem thoughts – shake things up. Get out of where you’re at and engage in an activity that is completely unrelated and more uplifting. Always remember, “Laughter is the best medicine”.
Physical Surroundings
Pay attention to where you are and how that affects you emotionally. Sometimes you will need to go places in order to accomplish your daily tasks, even though these places drain your energy and put you in a less-than-happy mood. Observe but don’t absorb. Be aware of your surroundings, take it all in, but don’t become attached to all that you experience. Let it pass through. “Spend” your energy on experiences you wish to focus on.
Create a “sacred” space in your house that makes you feel good, and when you come home you can go there and spend some time re-charging. This can be an alter. or this can be a music room. or this can be a study or a reading room. Or this can be a garden or a patio. It must suit YOU. If your home is supportive to you energetically, it will be much easier to go anywhere in the world because you know you have a safe place to come back to regenerate.
For fun, when you have some time, make a point of going on some adventures to magical destinations that inspire you and make you feel good. You will never forget the experience.
