Friends and I were enjoying a pre-concert dinner last week when conversation turned to a new TV series that everyone (but me) was watching. “Have you seen the latest episode,” someone asked. “Not yet,” someone else replied. “Don’t tell me what happens!”
Their enthusiasm was contagious so the following night I streamed the first installment. Brimming with violence, torture, deception and addiction, it was too dark for my taste.
The Quality of Our Vibes
Since becoming immersed in the study of quantum physics and energy healing, I am more attuned to my energetic vibrations. I notice how my environment affects me physically, emotionally and spiritually. As a result, I gravitate toward uplifting food, music and books.
This does not mean I only eat fresh produce, listen to bouncy tunes and read educational non-fiction. On the contrary, I indulge in a square of salty, dark chocolate after dinner and keep up with current events. But I monitor my consumption and adjust as necessary to maintain a high vibratory state, especially before meeting with a client.
As we explored in a past article, humans are susceptible to “catching” emotions from others; a phenomenon known as emotional contagion. During a Healing Touch (HT) session, the client and healer entrain to each other’s oscillations. It is my responsibility as a healer to emanate high-frequency vibrations such as unconditional love.
No doubt you have experienced music that elevated your mood or a movie that tugs the heartstrings so forcefully the theater resounds with sniffling. While an occasional good cry provides an emotional release that leaves us feeling as cleansed as city streets after a rainstorm, a steady diet of tearjerker movies could be as unhealthful as a breakfast of ice cream and soda.
Considering the incessant bombardment of low vibes in nasty social media posts and dire predictions about the future of humanity, it is more important than ever to make note of the vibrational quality of what we are consuming.
Low vibrations impair our immune system and digestive function while raising our vibration increases heart rate variability (HRV) bringing the systems of our body into coherence. Whenever you start feeling down, intentionally seek out sources of feel-good emotions.
Tips to Raise Your Vibe
Indulge in a Buddha bowl of fresh veggies and lean protein.
Create a high-vibe playlist of your favorite songs, binaural beats or affirmations. I frequently play the healing music of Barry Goldstein during HT sessions.
Limit your consumption of the news, violent entertainment and highly-processed foods.
Engage in an invigorating walk or workout.
Clear out your space by donating items you no longer need.
Instead of resisting depressing rumination replace undesirable thoughts with mental images of an uplifting experience (real or imagined).
Recite the Serenity Prayer, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
If helpless or disheartened emotions persist, seek the support of a professional therapist.
