While editing some writing I had been working on I suddenly had an insight stream through that helped me better understand why we want to raise our vibration in order to manifest.
If you are like me and like to know the WHY behind things this may help you out.
The line I was looking over when I got this insight was, “When we hold vibrations like fear, worry, anxiety, or judgement we are typically in a state of resistance.”
It struck me that when we’re in a state of resistance our energy is constricted, it’s close to us (I see it like we’re hugging it close to our body). It’s as if we are saying keep away. It’s the opposite of being in an expansive state.
Imagine for a moment that you’re meeting somebody new for the first time and the vibe is off. There’s something not right, and you can feel it. As a result, you’re holding your energy close to you like this is my energy, that’s yours, stay over there, thank you very much. You are in a resistant state where you are not trying to connect with their energy.
Now imagine a new scenario where you’re with friends, people you enjoy spending time with, and trust. You’re hanging out with your friends outdoors, and it’s a warm, sunny day. You’re in a state of enjoyment, having a great time, and as a result, your energy is open and expansive. Basically, the opposite of the first scenario.
Next, picture a feeling scale where the highest feelings, such as love and joy, are at the top of the scale, the middle becomes more neutral, and as we travel towards the bottom of the feeling scale we find things like anxiety, sadness, and fear. When we’re in the lower vibrations our energy is constricted, it’s closed off, and when we’re in the higher vibrations our energy is open and expansive.
Why do we want to raise our vibration?
I don’t know about you, but when I know the why behind something it makes it easier for me to conceptualize it, understand it, and remember it.
So here it goes…lower feelings and emotions like judgement and fear keep us closed off, blocked off energetically, while the higher emotions open us up. This is why we want to be in a state of connecting to love and joy (where our heart resonates with those feelings) before manifesting because this connects us in to all that is, and opens us up.
When we raise our vibration we move into an expansive, open, free flowing state where we are able to connect with the energies and frequencies of the universe for manifestation. Similarly, for channeling we raise our vibration so that we can better connect with and channel the higher frequencies.
If our energy was in a constricted state we would not be able to do that effectively. However, when our energy is in an open, loving, expansive state, we can connect with these energies much better, and much more easily. That is why we want to raise our vibration before we begin to manifest.
