Excerpt: When we go down on a sub-atomic level we do not find matter, but pure energy. Learn more about that and how you can raise your vibration now.
Introduction: People of a ‘Vibe,’ ‘Vibe’ together — But What Even is a ‘Vibe?’
When we go down on a sub-atomic level we do not find matter, but pure energy. This means that, in fact, nothing rests – everything in the universe is vibrating at one speed or another. Even something as “still” as a marble statue is filled with millions upon millions of subatomic particles “running around” and “popping” with energy [1].
When talking about living beings, “vibrations” radiate from a person’s presence based on their overall emotional state. “Happy” and “upbeat” beings vibrate at a relatively high frequency whereas “depressed” or “negative” beings vibrate at a relatively low frequency. What influences our interpretation of their vibration is the glowing combination of their body language, tone of voice, context of conversation, and choice of self-expression.
So when you say that you can ‘feel’ a person’s presence or you get a ‘gut-feeling’ about someone, you’re getting that from their vibration.
Whom do you find yourself naturally drawn to? Who do you enjoy being around? Who makes you smile? Who can you talk to that’s easily approachable? What do these people tend to talk about? How do their thoughts make you feel? These are people with a relatively high vibration.
In contrast, who do you find yourself instinctually avoiding? Who don’t you enjoy being around? Who do you find yourself ending conversations with quickly because you don’t want to go beyond, ‘good?‘ Who do you feel drained by? These are people with a relatively low vibration.

By raising your vibration, not only do you improve your overall emotional state, but you tend to attract other people and thought processes of higher vibrations as well. And by increasing the vibration of the people and thoughts you surround yourself with, you increase the happiness and quality of your life.
What’s most empowering of all is that it is all within your control. As James Allen wrote in As A Man Thinketh, “Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.” This leads us to the ever important question of… how? Many of the items on the list below are intuitive and obvious… But as with many other things in life, they are easier said and understood than done. Good luck!
The List: 10 Practical Ways You Can Raise Your Vibration
1) Stop complaining about the weather. As a matter of fact, stop complaining period. Be a contributor with your comments and thoughts – not a taker. Try complimenting instead. Or showing compassion. Or expressing gratitude. If you’re complaining about something that you can change – then change it already! If you’re complaining about something you can’t change – you’re wasting your time and energy on this beautiful green earth! Re-evaluate your thoughts and comments and keep it constructive.
2) Get news updates from somewhere else. Anywhere else besides the mainstream, nightly news stations! They are often nothing but a never-ending vicious stream of death, killing, terror, riot, war, drugs, devastation, etc… I stopped watching the news a long time ago and I don’t regret it in the least. I get updates from companies and organizations that spread the good word, care to take action in meaningful ways, and shine light where it is needed – not where it’s good for ratings.
3) Entertain compassion and love – not gossip and drama. This goes hand-in-hand with news updates – but extends to the news in your inner circle. Don’t entertain talk that brings people down. Change the conversation to talking about what brings people up! …And surround yourself with people that are doing the same. Read also: Socrates on Gossip.
4) Create high frequency environments for yourself. Surround yourself with upbeat messages, inspiring pictures, motivational books, favorite memories, bright colors, plants, etc. Make sure this is especially true for environments in which you spend most of your time like your bedroom or your work office.
5) Unplug. You’d be amazed at how fast this raises your vibration. Time spent away from electronics and in nature is one of the quickest ways to recharge your spirit and boost your mood. Enough said.
6) Look up. Look left. Look right. Look all around for gosh sake. You are privileged. I know that without even knowing who’s reading this. This goes hand-in-hand with unplugging but reminds you to stay in the present moment too. Start a gratitude journal. Write a gratitude letter. Just be thankful for goodness sake! …And feel your vibration rise.
7) Complaining about somebody else’s ‘bad vibes’ doesn’t help increase the vibes in the room. Complaining about somebody else’s ‘bad vibes’ merely shines a spotlight on the bad vibes and amplifies it by drawing everybody’s attention to it! Best course of action when dealing with ‘bad vibes’ is to starve them from attention. Don’t entertain them. Don’t even acknowledge them. Simply spread some good vibes and focus on the up-and-up.
8) Make time for things that make you happy. This one is pretty self explanatory: walking, knitting, traveling, cycling, painting, writing, talking, playing, training, etc – whatever makes you smile and feel good will undoubtedly raise your vibration. The key though, is to make time. Prioritizing yourself and your personal needs isn’t selfish. It’s like they tell you in airplanes in case of an emergency: Put your oxygen mask on first before trying to help others. That’s exactly what we’re talking about here – breathing in life so that we can share life with others.
9) Make time for things that make you healthy. Once again, you have to make time for these things. When you’re healthy and fit, you feel good about yourself. When you feel good about yourself, your vibration naturally rises. Eat more greens, eat less processed food, move more, watch TV less, and get someone to do it all with you!

10) Make time for things that help you recharge. If you don’t make time to recharge, your vibration will lower undoubtedly. First and foremost way to recharge is to get enough sleep. Sacrifice sleep and you sacrifice your mood, attitude, energy, and ability to perform optimally. Second to that is figuring out if you are an introvert or an extrovert and investing your time accordingly. Finally, add ‘stops’ to your day and stay in the present as much as possible.
