So I wanted to write this because as far as I’ve seen, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone go into detail and explain what vibrations actually are or what it actually means to raise your frequency. So that’s what I’ll be doing here.

Vibrations

The actual definition of vibration is the oscillation or movement of the parts of a fluid or an elastic body back and forth.

So take a rubber band, stretch it a little, flick it with your finger, it vibrates. That’s what goes on with everything in the universe, from quarks and atoms, to stars and black holes, even the universe itself, literally everything vibrates.

Frequency just means how often an event or action occurs. So frequency with vibrations would just mean how often it’s moving back and forth.

Just as humans all have a unique fingerprint, everything in the universe, including the universe itself, has its own vibration. No one or thing has the same vibration. Similar, yes. Same, no.

Since thoughts have vibrations, the moments we make decisions, big or small, are moments we create alternate realities. And each of those realities themselves have their own vibration.

How so?

The decisions we make come down to who we are subconsciously and at a soul level, so our choices come from who we are at that moment. Who we are at any given time is a being of a particular vibration. That’s why when you mature and grow, the choices you make change. Why you eventually no longer resonate or can even imagine making the choices you previously did. You no longer align with that vibration even subconsciously, so your choices are completely different.

Choice has alooot more meaning than people in this plane realize.

Below is a drawing I made of a wave and its parts.

Vibration and Evolution

Wavelength is just the distance between two crests or two troughs.

As illustrated above, the longer the wavelength, the slower or “lower” the vibration. The shorter the wavelength, the faster or “higher” the vibration.

Applied to spirituality or metaphysics, being on the same wavelength is why we instantly click with some people, and being on different wavelengths is why we don’t click that much or at all with others. Why we can relate to some mindsets and beliefs and why others just turn us off completely.

Vibration.

The “lower” vibrational states or emotions include things like greed, envy, sadness and depression, lust, mindset of lack, anger and hate. That’s why those states feel so dense and heavy.

High” vibrational states or emotions include happiness, bliss, joy, gratitude, euphoria, love, and peace. That’s why those states make you feel like your best you and as if you’re much lighter.

Raise Your Frequency

As mentioned above, all frequency is, is just how often something occurs. So with raising your frequency, all you’re doing is releasing or transmuting slower, denser energy into faster, much lighter energy.

By pursuing and going after what your heart truly desires, you’re aligning yourself with what’s at your “highest” frequency. By ignoring external opinions involving you and remaining solid in who you are and what you do, you’re aligning yourself with your “highest” frequency. The vibration that will bring you the most peace and make life feel alot like you’re in a lazy river.

Unlearning and letting go of all the conditioning of society is one of the best and most significant ways to raise your vibration, since that’s where a majority of our self limiting beliefs and opinions come from. It’s not easy at all with the amount of digging you’ve gotta do. I’ll be honest and let you know it takes a bit of your sanity before you get to a place where you’re a genuine 180 from your previous self.

One more thing I really dislike in the spiritual community is talk of ascension or use of the words “higher” or “lower”, which is why I put them in quotations. I know it doesn’t actually matter, it’s just a personal pet peeve since I see all inhabitants of Earth as equals. There aren’t levels or hierarchies to this, just being and becoming, being and becoming.
