Have you ever felt that you’ve lost your way in
life? That the spark you once felt has gone missing? What’s described here is
at least part of the reason this happens.
Have you ever felt really good, that your energy
was in a good place, at a good vibration, until you went around or interacted
with someone whose energy was not up there with you? What happened to your
energy vibration? More than likely, it lowered, maybe even went to the lower
vibration of the other person. It can be a challenge to sustain a higher
vibration when you engage with a person or people who experience a lower
vibration, especially if that’s their practice.
Maybe you’ve been in a situation where you’re
engaging one or more people and the conversation is predominantly, if not
entirely, their complaining about something or everything. You might listen for
a while, and get more and more uneasy as you feel your vibration dropping. So
maybe you interject something positive, in the hope of raising the energy back
up. It’s quite possible that they either look at you strangely or give you
negative feedback about this because you’re not joining them readily at the
lower vibration, which may annoy them. You mutually annoy each other because of
the contrast of your energies.
The reality is that all of us have times when our
vibration is higher or lower, depending on what’s going on and how we choose to
perceive it and relate to it. And sometimes we need to reach out to others when
we’re low. Depending on what we’re dealing with or coping with, it may feel
challenging to even imagine a higher vibration, much less align with and feel
it. But, it isn’t impossible to imagine you can reach and hold a higher
vibration at some point. In fact, allow yourself to aspire to this just as soon
as it feels appropriate to you to do so. It may assist you to keep what follows
in mind.
Many of us have been indoctrinated with the belief
that external experiences cause the good or serene feelings we desire in us,
when in fact, it’s the other way around. The way we experience our external
world has all to do with our internal perceptions, that is, what we tell
ourselves about anything or anyone. If we have negative inner experiences, if
we put our time and energy into lower vibration thoughts and feelings, we are
not going to have desired experiences in our external world. We’ll have more of
what we don’t want come to us, or our perceptions will run along this course,
because that is where our energy, vibration, and emotions are, which means
that’s what we’re giving our life force to. The non-judgmental laws of
manifestation will match the vibration we give the most energy to or the inner
plane we spend most of our time on.
If you feel you’ve lost your way and that the spark
has gone from your life, you’re definitely hanging around in lower vibrations
and likely with people who hang out in lower vibrations, and you’re probably
waiting for external experiences to ignite your inner spark again. If this is
your approach, you may wait for a long time. You cannot expect to raise your
vibration higher at the same time you put energy into lower-level thoughts.
Something you need to keep in mind is that a belief is a thought you practice
often or habitually. The more time and energy you give to a thought, the more
momentum toward manifestation or continuance you build into that thought.
So what are you supposed to do to raise your
vibration? First, don’t expect to zoom to the highest vibration in one fell
swoop. It could happen, but it’s best if you don’t infringe that heavy
expectation on yourself (or on another). An improvement is what you want to aim
for. One of the surest ways I’ve found in my experience to calm my energy,
thoughts, and emotions, and even-out my vibration so that it raises a bit when
it’s lower is to make the statement you’ve likely heard or read often,
including from me: Source, I trust and
allow that you will fulfill the highest good of all involved regarding this
situation.
This statement can allow you to relax, if you’ll
allow this yourself, that is. When you relax, when you trust that the highest
good of all involved will be done, even if you don’t understand all the
dynamics, you calm your inner self, which raises your vibration from where it’s
been. This begins to attract better experiences, and helps you to choose better
perceptions.
Don’t hammer a negative thought. Do something else
to get your mind off of it for a while. It is more important to first get into
a good, higher vibration than to solve a problem or worry about it. Holding
better thoughts will pull good things to you, often surprisingly quickly. The
more you do this, the more you feel your spark begin to ignite back up and
grow, because you will be in control of
the only thing you can ever be in absolute control of: your vibration.
Everything springs forth from this. The question is: Are you willing to find a
way to be in control of your vibration?
Pay attention to what you feed your thoughts and
emotions. Maybe take a vacation from watching the news, or if you’re going to
follow the news, strengthen your metaphysical or spiritual understanding about
reality. The same goes for subtle messages in commercials or any other media.
If you must engage low-vibration people or information, use the remarkable tool
in Dave Markowitz’s book Self-Care for
the Self-Aware that recommends you imagine a keyhole at your heart chakra,
or whichever chakra feels appropriate, and imagine the negativity moving into
that opening and exiting out the back, so that you aren’t touched by it or
absorb it as your own. If all you feed yourself or predominantly feed yourself
is negativity, whether your own or that of others, you will feel you’ve lost
your way or your spark, because your natural state is opposite of this; and THIS
is why you feel as negative as you do: you’re going in the wrong direction. To
be in or return to your natural state of fulfillment and joy, you must move in
the direction of it.
Another method that will help is something I’ve
recently started to practice, which was the result of an inner nudge from two
sources: a novel and an attendee at an Abraham-Hicks event. In the novel, one
of the characters was thought to have a more direct line to God when it came to
prayers: Her prayers seemed genuinely effective or to result in miracles. Every
night, she wrote, rather than said, her prayers. In the other nudge, the event
attendee said he began the practice of writing thank-you notes or letters to
the Universe ahead of receiving what he wished to receive, and that the results
were phenomenal. I now have a notebook and pen handy to write down my own
ahead-of-time thank-you notes to Source. Outcomes I’ve experienced since I
began to do this are either seeing the desired results become experiences or
feeling tremendous peace, calm, and trust about whatever outcome is for the
highest good of myself and all involved. Use this to find your way when you
feel lost and to reignite your inner life-force spark. It’s a good practice,
one you’ll appreciate.
Practice makes progress.
