 Vibrational
Frequency
"Vibrational frequency" is defined
as "the rate at which the atoms and sub-particles of
a being or object vibrate. The higher this vibrational frequency
is, the closer it is to the frequency of Light."1 Each
word we speak and thought we think sends out a vibration that
attracts to it an experience of like vibration. If we send
out fear, we attract fear. If we send out love we attract
love.
What does it mean to raise one's vibration
or to increase one's vibrational frequency? Everything
in the Universe is energy and energy vibrates at different
rates. Each person has a unique vibration, which is the product
of all of the influences he/she has ever encountered. The
influences upon which we focus our attention or thoughts are
those which determine or define our vibration. Negative vibrations
are those which are associated with the lower chakras, those
which have to do with what we consider to be "negative"
emotions or feelings. Included in a list of negative vibrations
would be hatred, anger, doubt, fear (of loss, lack, failure,
etc.,) jealousy, envy, judgment, (both judgment of others
and self-judgment,) impatience, disharmony, imbalance, insecurity,
etc. Positive vibrations are those such as love, harmony,
peace, balance, kindness, understanding, compassion, etc.
The so-called negative emotions are not in
and of themselves bad. We all, at one time or another, experience
anger and fear and doubt. These emotions only become harmful
when we base our words or actions upon them. It is our intention,
or the reason behind the word or deed, that sets up, or sends
out, a vibration. We can feel anger about something and yet
make a conscious choice to act out of love instead of acting
out of the anger. When we do this, we are raising our vibration
from one of anger to one of love. Even if you don't feel
like acting lovingly toward a person or event which has made
you angry, you can always choose to act out of self-love,
knowing that to act out of love is, in the end, the best thing
for you.
Not only does our vibration attract to us
experiences of like vibration, but it also attracts to us
people who are of the same vibrational frequency. Our own
vibration is the one in which we feel most comfortable and
it constitutes a particular "vibrational comfort zone"
for each one of us. Our vibration attracts to us others who
share a similar vibration, in order that we may remain in
our comfort zone. We begin to feel "out of our element"
when we are around people who are of a very different vibration
from ours, whether it be a higher or a lower vibration.
Chakra
Work
Working with your chakras is another way
to raise your vibration. Focusing on your heart chakra, and
visualizing a brilliant green light filling your heart chakra
will help to clear out any unwanted or unserving energy in
your heart area. After filling your heart chakra with green
light, bring in pink light, the light of self-love. Loving
oneself is a wonderful way to raise one's vibration,
because each thought or act of self love sends out a vibration
of love to the Universe, adding to the Light.
Our thoughts, words and actions determine
what we manifest in our lives by sending out the vibration
of our consciousness, which attracts to us the people and
events who share our vibrational zone. I am sure you have
heard the saying, "Be careful what you wish for because
you may get it." I believe that the saying should be,
"Be careful what you wish for because you will get it."
We do, indeed, get everything we think about, ask for or take
action upon. The problem is that our subconscious "thoughts"
send out very powerful vibrations which override what we consciously
believe we want. The subconscious is in the driver's
seat until we bring to the conscious level our subconscious
desires and transform them into thoughts and feelings which
will manifest in our lives in beneficial ways.
We have all heard about self-fulfilling prophecies.
Self-fulfilling prophecies are based on the Universal Law
of Vibration, which states that "like attracts like."
In this case, if one fears failure, one will attract failure
because when the subconscious is programmed to expect failure,
it will fulfill and reinforce this belief by attracting those
situations which are of a like vibration, i.e., the vibration
of failure. When one protests that one did not want (did not
manifest) some event in his or her life, while it may be true
that he/she did not consciously hold a thought about that
event, it is always true that the subconscious transmitted
a thoughtform (a vibration) that attracted to it the event.
For example, one might have a thought that he/she is open
to receive abundance, and yet not experience abundance in
life. In such a case, the subconscious is holding a thought
about lack and blocking the manifestation of the conscious
thought of abundance. It is critical that we examine our subconscious
beliefs in order to transform those that conflict with our
conscious beliefs.
There are many methods of discovering what
beliefs we hold in our subconscious. One method is to write
on a piece of paper the following sentence, filling in the
blanks with the appropriate words: "I believe that ________________
is (or does, brings, causes, etc.) _________________. For
example, one might write, "I believe that money is the
root of all evil," or "I believe that the rich are
manipulative and arrogant." Such beliefs will block one's
accumulation of wealth because the subconscious will not allow
material abundance to come to someone who holds negative beliefs
about money. When doing this exercise, write as many beliefs
about whatever subject you are dealing with as you can think
of. When you are finished writing everything that comes to
mind about the subject, take a look at the beliefs you have
written down, decide which serve you and which do not, and
release those beliefs which do not benefit you.
One way to raise your vibration is to release
"negative" thoughts, feelings and beliefs and a
very good way to release unserving or negative beliefs is
to use affirmations to replace them with more positive beliefs.
You might replace the belief that money is the root of all
evil with an affirmation such as, "Money comes easily
to me and I use it wisely." Affirmations are positive
statements in the present tense. Affirmations immediately
raise our vibration by focusing our minds on positive thoughts.
They must be in the present tense because the subconscious
operates in the here and now. If you say, "I need money,"
your subconscious, once it has been reprogrammed with such
a statement, will keep you in the state of "needing money,"
never allowing money to come to you in the present time. If
you say, "I will have lots of money someday," you
will be kept in a state of lack because the future never comes.
Perhaps the best and simplest affirmation would be "I
have money," or "I have everything I want, need
and desire and more."
Choose affirmations
that "resonate" with your own way of speaking and
thinking. Just keep them positive and in the present tense,
and spend a few minutes every day repeating those affirmations
which resonate with the things you wish to change or release.
Do not try to cover everything in one affirmation (affirmations
should be short and easily memorized.) Choose only 3 to 5
affirmations to repeat daily. It takes only 21 days of daily
affirmations to change (reprogram) a subconscious belief.
After 21 days, you might wish to drop one or all of the affirmations
and use new ones.
Let's look at another area of beliefs.
Suppose you want to bring a loving relationship into your
life. In examining your beliefs, you might discover that you
don't really believe that you can attract a loving partner
because you are not beautiful (handsome) enough, young enough,
have nothing to offer someone else, never succeed in relationships,
or any other myriad beliefs. For each of these beliefs, write
an affirmation. You might write as affirmations: "I am
a beautiful, loving person who attracts other beautiful, loving
people," or "I have much to offer in a loving relationship,"
or "I now bring forth my Divine Partner," or "I
am in Divine Partnership with my Divinely Selected Partner."
While you may hesitate to repeat such affirmations because
they are not true (or do not seem to be true to us in the
present,) know that they will become true if you state them
as being already true and evident in your life in the present
moment. Any belief that involves lack or limitation keeps
us in a lower vibrational state than we might otherwise be
in.
Realize that your subconscious beliefs were programmed at
some time by someone or something. The beliefs that reside
in your subconscious are the result of others' input into
your subconscious. Our parents, siblings, friends and society
are primarily responsible for having programmed our subconscious
with their beliefs. (Our beliefs might also be the result
of past life beliefs which our soul brought into this incarnation.
These beliefs, also, can be changed through the use of affirmations.)
Regardless of the source of our subconscious beliefs and desire,
we have the power to reprogram our subconscious through the
use of affirmations. "Raising" one's beliefs
from the subconscious level to the conscious level is one
way of raising one's vibration because it takes one out
of the "auto-pilot" mode of life into consciously
living and creating one's life.
In addition to the use of affirmations, it
is possible to replace "negative" beliefs with positive
beliefs through the use of breathwork. We cannot battle "negative"
beliefs; we cannot beat them into submission. We must replace
them with something positive or simply release them. Even
when releasing them, we must replace the void created by their
absence with something. Through breathwork we can replace
them very simply with White Light.
Many of the ancient schools knew the importance
of breath in connecting with the Divine. We are once again
being given this ancient knowledge in order that we might
use it to raise our vibrations. A very simple form of the
ancient techniques of breathwork can be used to raise your
vibration. Sit comfortably with your spine erect but relaxed
and breathe in deeply and slowly through your nose. As you
breathe in, visualize yourself breathing in White Light and
Love from the Source. While holding your indrawn breath, picture
White Light filling up your body. As you breathe out, breathe
out through your mouth and say, "I release _________
(fear, lack, jealousy, anger, doubt, all that is unserving,
karmic debts, etc.)" Breathe in, hold the breath and
breathe out for equal amounts of time. For example, if you
breathe in for 3 seconds, hold the breath for 3 seconds and
breathe out for 3 seconds. You may also, as you breathe out,
simply name the vibration you are breathing out. For example,
you might breathe out, for 3 breaths, anger. In this case,
as you breathe in you would simply say "White Light,"
visualizing as you do so, and upon the release of breath,
simply say, "Anger."
Through the use of affirmations, which engage
the mind on a conscious level, and breathwork, which engages
the body on a cellular level, one can release or transform
any negative vibrations which are currently being held by
the body or subconscious.
Another very powerful tool which we have
been given to help us raise our vibrations is that of the
Violet Flame of Transmutation. Daily immersing ourselves in
the cleansing energy of the violet flame is the quickest and
most effective way to maintain our harmony and raise our consciousness.
To call on the energy of the Violet Flame, sit quietly and
begin to visualize a clear, violet flame coming from the Source.
Imagine it coming to you, growing larger and larger as it
envelops your body in a circle of violet energy and light.
Also imagine it entering your body through your Crown Chakra
(the top of your head) and ask that all negative energy which
you are holding in your heart, mind and body be transmuted
to positive, loving energy. You will immediately feel lighter,
uplifted and less burdened when you call upon the Violet Flame
of Transmutation.
The key to raising your vibration is to release
as much negativity as possible from your mind, heart and body
and replace it with loving thoughts and energy. Every loving
thought you think sends out a love vibration, raising both
your own vibration and that of the world. While I believe
that only Masters, Archangels and other High Beings have succeeded
in controlling their emotional bodies to the point of never
sending out negative energy, I also believe that each and
every time we think a loving thought or say a kind word, we
ourselves are becoming more like the Masters.
Do not let yourself become overwhelmed by the daunting task
of replacing all negativity in your life with positive energy.
Just take a step at a time, using an affirmation, breathwork,
or the violet flame of transmutation to bring more Light into
your life. Our Guides, Teachers, Ascended Masters and Archangels
are always available to assist us in bringing more Light and
love into our lives. Remember that everything is intention.
If you call upon your Guides and other Beings to assist you
in raising your vibration, you will receive the assistance
you ask for.
