High VS. Low Vibrations
There is no “right” way to be spiritual. To be spiritual is simply being connected to your spirit or to be aligned with yourself and following your soul path. This can look different for everyone. You don’t have to have crystals or be concerned with astrology. You don’t have to eat a certain way or meditate and do yoga. You do not have to look or act a certain way and you certainly don’t have to hold “high vibrations.” Everyone is learning their own lessons which means everyone’s journey will look different. When a group of people begins to make rules about how a person should live their lives or behave, then it becomes no different than any other religion.
The concept of needing to hold high vibrations only is a common misconception that I have been asked about. You do not need to hold the highest vibration possible. This is not sustainable and causes energy imbalances.
Lower vibrations such as sadness and anger are healthy and actually necessary. When you cut yourself off from the full range of human expression you essentially cut off part of your energy which can lead to ill health, delusion and even mental instability.
I have seen many times people start to become delusional and even mentally ill. This is because when you are only connecting to your spirit self, and not your physical self you become un-grounded-you start to lose sight of actual reality. Think of raising your vibration as literally your energy going up farther away from the ground. Now you are “in the clouds” or “not in reality”. You can become consumed with your own thoughts, and emotions and mistake these for reality. This is when you can become delusional. People will start to become paranoid and in fear. Your energy should be equally IN your body- not solely floating around in hyper-space.
People that focus on high vibrations only are often more focused on their spiritual growth instead of physical pursuits and desires in 3D world. (off topic but the 3D world is not the matrix, you do not need to ascend this. the matrix is the cage in your mind and limiting beliefs.) This is not bad, but at some point there needs to be a balance of both.
When is it Beneficial to Raise your Vibration?
Raising your vibration is beneficial for people who have been exceptionally low for long periods of time. Most of us are very low before we awake spiritually. Then we start to raise our vibration and it begins to feel good. And we go higher and higher and this becomes the new drug and HAS become a drug for people solely focused on spiritual growth. But like I said before, the person will not only begin to become unstable and delusional but with the “higher” perspective alot of people will also develop a self righteous holy-than though personality. (I live near Sedona, I see this all the time. This is the city of false light which I will also go into detail about in another blog.)
The point is to bring your vibration up to a baseline point of balance. From here, it is normal to fluctuate higher and lower and then eventually coming back to our baseline vibration.
Sadness is a LOW vibration because it is SLOW. It slows your mind and body down. It is causing you to move and think slowly. Elation- is a high vibration because it is fast. It causes your mind and body to move faster and think faster. We should not describe one as bad, and one as good, or one as better. All emotions are necessary to feel and experience. All emotions serve a distinct purpose. It is perfectly normal for your vibration to drop, or for your energy to SLOW down after a traumatic event or when your body is calling for rest. It is normal to have negative thoughts and feel anger at times. As long as we work through those emotions and are able to bring ourselves up to baseline.
It is normal for our vibration to rise after an exciting event. We will feel joy and happiness. It is also important to remember though, that it is not normal or healthy to stay at an extremely high vibration either or start to chase this high feeling. This can also cause imbalances. Alot of people in the spiritual community chase after this high vibration like a drug. The higher you get, the farther you are away from the ground. the more disconnected you become to reality and from your body.
Remember, the point of being a spirit in a human body is to have a human experience and not just a spirit experience.
