Q: How can I raise my vibration? I feel it’s low right now with all the global challenges.

A: If we keep in mind that everything from our thoughts, emotions, and physicality are pure energy. Mystics have reminded us for Millenia to raise our vibrations and keep them high for this is where love and compassion reside. When we raise our vibration, we are practicing positivity, optimism, and elevated emotions. We “feel” it when our vibration is high or low.

Low vibrations are the opposite such as fear (where many people are now), negativity, anger (a mask for fear), aggression, frustration, greed. Etc. While we all feel low vibrations from time to time, it’s essential we are conscious of raising our vibrations to remain high as opposed to “victim consciousness,” or fear-based existence.

In challenging times like now, resiliency and healthy coping techniques are essential. Becoming resilient, or bouncing back and taking that leap will assist in raising your vibration. Here are some suggestions to go from fear to love:

  1. Have a daily meditation practice. Whether you listen to a recording or sit in silence, you want to eliminate fear-based thoughts and shift to love and compassion.
  2. Eat healthy. When we are in times of great stress, we tend to eat unconsciously. Please be mindful of eating healthy, nutritional food such as lots of greens, vegetables, herbal teas and proteins. It will be good for digestion and you will feel good.
  3. Practice gratitude daily. When you give thanks,  (3-5daily  things you are grateful for) you feel good and your vibration automatically raises.
  4. Minimize watching too much news. It’s easy to get glued and become addicted to media frenzy. Please minimize media exposure and listen to healthy webinars, podcasts and shows that are good for your soul.
  5. Listen to music. There is a saying that music soothes the soul. You may have to use earphones if you are sharing your home, but that’s ok as you can select what gives you pleasure and that is sure to raise your vibration.
  6. Surround yourself with beauty and nature. Get outside daily. Stretch, walk, run, hike; whatever works for you. There is something about being in nature and allowing spirit to come in.
  7. Find a hobby. Whether it’s art, playing an instrument, writing, reading, or cards, by having a hobby that you enjoy, your vibration will be higher.
  8. Volunteer. There is a huge need especially now. When you spread acts of kindness, your vibration automatically rises. And it’s contagious. You may want to deliver groceries, meals, reach out and call someone, listen to a friend in need, being in service of some capacity will just feel good.

Remember that we are all energy. Honor yourself, your energy, and help shift the vibration of yourself and the entire planet.
