In our fast-paced and ever omnipotently demanding world, where stress and overwhelm easily take hold, it’s easy to overlook one of the most powerful tools we possess: our innate ability to feel good. How we feel on a consistent basis significantly influences our reality, it shapes our experiences, our ability to recognize opportunities and even the people we attract. When we are able to effectively maintain a high vibration for the majority of the time, life can seem to unfold in the most miraculous ways. But what exactly does this mean, and how can we harness this energy to bring more joy, abundance and serendipity into our lives?
Understanding Vibration and Energy
Without going down a very deep rabbit hole on all things Quantum Physics, I’m going to simply a little. Everything in the universe, including our thoughts, emotions, and actions, carries a specific energetic frequency. When we experience emotions like love, gratitude, joy and excitement, we vibrate at a higher frequency. Conversely, feelings of fear, anger, and worry bring our energy down, making it more difficult to align with the experiences we desire. The best graphic I have found to explain this is The Hawkins Scale (yes, Google it).
Many spiritual traditions, as well as modern scientific studies on the mind-body connection, affirm that our inner state has a profound impact on our external reality. When we operate from a place of positivity and high vibration, we naturally attract experiences, people and circumstances that reflect that same energy. And this my friends is called The Law of Attraction. Like always attract like.
The Science Behind Feeling Good
Our emotions influence our biochemical state. Positive emotions release endorphins, serotonin and dopamine – chemicals that enhance our mood, boost our immune system and improve overall well-being. When we maintain this elevated state, we become more open, receptive and inspired, which allows us to recognize and seize opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Additionally, research in Quantum Physics suggests that our consciousness interacts with the field of possibilities, meaning that our thoughts and emotions play a role in shaping our reality. This is why people who intentionally cultivate a high vibration often experience what seem like miracles – unexpected blessings, synchronicities, and opportunities aligning perfectly.
There is a caveat to this though, because when we talk about biochemical state, it can also lead to addictions. And even on an emotional level. Ever come across a “Debbie Downer” who is always in a crappy mood – perhaps they have become addicted to being that way? Food for thought …
How to Raise and Maintain a High Vibration
While life will always present challenges, we have the power to choose how we respond to them. Here are a few ways to consistently raise your vibration and attract more of the things you want into your life:
- Practice Gratitude – Gratitude shifts your focus from what is lacking to what is abundant. By appreciating what you already have, you naturally invite more blessings into your life. Start a Gratitude Journal today and find 5 things daily to be grateful for and write them down. Writing has power to it!
- Engage in Joyful Activities – Do what makes you feel alive, whether it’s dancing, painting, spending time in nature or playing music. Joy raises your vibration effortlessly.
- Surround Yourself with Positivity – Spend time with uplifting people, consume inspiring content and cultivate an environment that supports your well-being. Maybe time to next that “Debbie Downer” friend …
- Meditate and Visualize – Meditation helps clear negative energy, while visualization aligns you with the life you desire by training your mind to focus on positive outcomes. I use the app Calm for meditation and I have recorded my affirmations and visualizations on my phone and listen to them daily.
- Prioritize Self-Care – Taking care of your body through nutrition, exercise and rest directly impacts your energy levels and mood. Go and get a massage, get a facial, go to a Day Spa or attend a spiritual retreat. Even just spending some time by water can make a huge difference.
The Miracle of Alignment
When you prioritize feeling good, you align yourself with the natural flow of the Universe/God/Spirit/Energy (whatever name you want to give it). Life begins to feel effortless and you attract opportunities and experiences that once seemed out of reach. Miracles become a normal part of your existence because you are operating at a frequency that invites them in.
Ultimately, the key to a fulfilling and abundant life isn’t found in external pursuits but within your own inner energy. By choosing (and yes, it is a very deliberate choice) to cultivate a consistently high vibration, you open the doors to limitless possibilities. The more you prioritize feeling good, the more the Universe/God/Spirit/Energy conspires to bring you joy, abundance, and yes – miracles. Because he/she/they does actually want that for you? Your job is to stop pushing it away! How awesome is that?
