Your ‘vibration’, universal life energy or higher self-frequency is, in the simplest terms, your state of being. Everything consists of light energy and everything radiates its own unique vibrational energy.
Like attracts like – so the personal energy signature you vibrate with influences the experiences, people and situations you attract into your life.
Raising your vibration leads you to experience higher energy and intelligence fields. In this way, raising your vibration is crucial to your well-being.
I don’t know about you, but personally I notice that sometimes my energy feels "scattered", completely out of alignment with my inner presence and the Now moment. And it’s all thanks to work, modern stress and my attachment to my phone.
I sometimes feel like I have no motivation and find myself lost in thoughts. Until I snap myself out of it and remember that I have some great bio-hacks to get me back into my “zone” of self-development – where I feel great and live in a state of creative joy.
Here are 12 great ways to raise your vibration when you’re feeling scattered or need to get back in the zone.
- Practice gratitude
Taking some time to practice gratitude increases positive emotions. When we take the time to express gratitude for our blessings, we allow ourselves to appreciate the value of something, and when we appreciate the value of something, we enjoy more benefits from it; we are less likely to take it for granted.
- Eat raw organic vegetables
Raw vegetables are made entirely of energy through photosynthesis. When we eat raw food, we absorb the sun’s energy, which refuels and recharges the body. Shayna Komar, a licensed and registered dietitian, says, “…incorporating raw foods, especially fruits and vegetables, into your diet can have numerous health benefits. You will likely have more energy, better skin, better digestion and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease once you get used to eating raw foods.”
- Take cold showers
Cold water increases the body’s metabolism because it has to work harder to maintain a stable temperature. Cold showers create a feeling of energy and alertness, which can lead to a person becoming more physically active. Some of the benefits Wim Hoff says taking cold showers can bring are: “…reduced stress levels, higher level of alertness, more robust immune response and more willpower.”
- Sungazing
Gazing into the morning or evening sun rays when they are light and easy to absorb is a great way to increase body vibration. Absorbing the sun’s energy through your eye stimulates the pineal gland as the sun’s energy moves through the eyes and charges the hypothalamic tract, which is the pathway to the back of the retina that leads to the brain. In addition, looking at the sun increases the production of serotonin and melatonin (the feel-good hormones). Finally, this age-old practice helps relieve stress and anxiety from the body.
- Grounding
Grounding, also called grounding, is a therapeutic technique in which the body is brought into direct and uninterrupted contact with the earth. This means that the skin must come into contact with soil, sand, water or a conductive surface that is in contact with the earth. According to emerging research, grounding helps increase energy in the body, improve sleep patterns, normalize blood pressure and blood flow, to name a few.
- Fasting
Most forms of fasting last 24 to 72 hours. Intermittent fasting, on the other hand, involves alternating between periods of eating and fasting, ranging from a few hours to a few days in a row. Fasting has been shown to have many health benefits, from increased weight loss to better brain function. Fasting can be a very spiritual experience and, when combined with meditation, can help release troubled energy from the body.
- Meditation
Meditation helps calm your nervous system, improves your mood and brings about a greater sense of peace – all positive qualities that will benefit your state of being. Mindfulness and loving-kindness are also highly therapeutic, helping to heal trauma and reconnect you with your naturally high vibration of consciousness. Meditation helps quickly raise your vibration level by consciously releasing the lower vibrational states that are holding you back, such as impatience, anger and fear. By being in the now, you free yourself from the past so that you can reach your highest vibrational state in the present.
- Breathwork
Breathwork appears to send a signal to the brain to adjust the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, which can slow heart rate and digestion and promote feelings of calm. After a solid workout session, your body is buzzing with energy that can elevate your mood and radiate positivity to those around you. It’s essential to harness this feel-good vibe and spread it to the world. Here are some practices that can help you amplify this energy:
- Chanting the mantra OM: The ancient practice of chanting the mantra Om has been revered for its ability to transform vibrations and create a sense of calm and peace within. By chanting Om, you can elevate your energy levels, clear your mind, release toxins, and increase your vibration. This practice can help you cultivate a positive mindset and enhance your overall well-being.
- Consuming high-vibe music/podcasts: Surround yourself with music and podcasts that have a high vibrational frequency. Choose uplifting tunes that uplift your spirits and avoid media that drains your energy. Listening to positive content can help you stay motivated, inspired, and energized throughout the day.
My morning routine: A structured morning routine can set the tone for a productive and energized day. Consider incorporating the following practices into your morning routine to boost your energy levels:
- Breathwork: Start your day with deep breathing exercises to oxygenate your body and invigorate your mind.
- Meditation/chanting: Spend time in meditation or chanting to center yourself and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
- Cold shower: A cold shower can awaken your senses, improve circulation, and boost your energy levels.
- Fasting: Consider intermittent fasting until lunchtime to kickstart your metabolism and enhance mental clarity.
By following a consistent morning routine, you can elevate your energy levels, maintain a positive vibe, and set yourself up for success throughout the day.
In addition to these practices, surround yourself with individuals who uplift and support you. Surrounding yourself with positive influences can help you maintain a high vibration and cultivate a sense of well-being. Remember, your energy is the core of your personality, so focus on activities and relationships that nourish your spirit and elevate your mood.
