The Vibes You Get, The Vibes You Give, Part 2

 

This week, we had a full moon in balancing Libra, and began the pre-shadow period for Mercury Retrograde. I failed to heed the warning and ended up spending two full days finishing taxes! Eekk! 
So one day late, please enjoy “The vibes you get, the vibes you give, part two!”

Last week, we discussed receiving vibes, particularly feeling  uncomfortable in crowded places, moments when you feel as if your space is being invaded, and the importance of having a personal bubble!

When you enter a room, you can sense whether there’s been a fight, or there’s secret heat between two people. In the same way, people can sense your vibes when you enter a room. The human aura is a strong electro-magnetic field. We give off electrical energy and absorb magnetic one.

The quantity and quality of our energy flow deeply affects our emotions, thoughts and reactions. The quality of our relationships, productivity, creativity and health all depend upon creating a high level of harmoniously flowing energy.

The following techniques and ways of life will aid us in building a freer and more positive energy flow and raise your vibrations.

1. Proper Diet: (cue eye roll, i know… but we’re over 80% water. What we put in our bodies DOES make a difference!) Few of us realize the powerful effect of a proper diet not only on our physical health, but also on our emotional, mental and spiritual states. Visualize your refrigerator. You open the door, it’s full of crumbs, sticky bits, and three day old leftovers in the original containers. Close it quick, doesn’t feel great does it?! Now, reopen and your fridge is sparkling clean full of well stocked and organized fresh fruits and, veggies. You have chicken breasts marinating, ready to be prepped for the week. You take a deep breath and feel calm, satisfied, proud.. A clean diet can create greater health, more positive emotional states, clearer mental functioning, and increased spiritual attainment.

2. Vitamins: If we suspect our emotional state may also be the result of a worn down nervous system, we might benefit from a strong multivitamin and mineral supplement for one month. Vitamin D and Magnesium are non negotiable. Take a multivitamin. Above all else, listen to your body, and feed it what it needs. We’ll do a post on cravings and vitamins another time, but get the D, immediately. 😘

3. Fasting: We can dramatically improve how we feel with short one-day fasts, or a “mono-diet” in which we eat only one type of food, such as apples, watermelon or grapes. When fasting, some may experience an increase of symptoms if a “healing crisis” is provoked. A beginner in this process should be assisted by an experienced guide. If you’re inclined, talk with your doctor about whether fasting may be right for you, it’s a great way to regularly reset your vibration.

4. Herbs and Flower Essence: Some herbs can be very calming and/or invigorating, offering an extra boost which may give us the needed optimism we need to make internal changes.Keep lavender on hand for emergency calming and peppermint for a caffeine free energy boost any time.

5. Daily Physical Exercise: Move your body every day.: The body is a living machine, and like all machines, it needs to move or it will begin to develop problems. Exercise is essential not only for a healthy muscular, skeletal, and circulatory system, but also for a relaxed nervous system and balanced endocrine system. This systemic harmony is necessary for emotional and mental peace. If you’re feeling anxious, caged, or overly amped- bust out 50 jumping jacks. Feeling lethargic, spacey, and low mood? Put on a song and DANCE. Shake your booty, twerk by the dishwasher, spray floor cleaner, step on paper towels, and dance-clean. Your brain cannot feel depression while you dance. So shake your groove thang, and if you catch your neighbors giving you side eye, shake it in their general direction. For me, comedy in music is the fastest way to lift your spirits and raise your vibration. So try Mississippi Squirrel Revival, Like a Surgeon, Barbie Girl, or anything from Yung Gravy. If you’re a mom of s certain age- you’ll appreciate how he appreciates cougars…. 😂

 

6. Breathing Techniques: These are essential for the abundant flow of vital energy throughout the body and mind. Bio-energy is the basis of all physical and mental functions. Breathing exercises are one of the most effective ways to increase our energy level and keep it steady and harmonious so we will be less susceptible to low emotional states or illness. We should, however, have the guidance of a person experienced in breathing techniques before we begin.

7. Daily Deep Relaxation:This will calm the muscles, nerves and all other bodily systems, and thus rejuvenate the body and the mind. Deep relaxation, in conjunction with the above-mentioned techniques, contributes to the development of a strong and healthy immune system as well as a form of self-therapy from psychosomatic illnesses.

8. Creative Self Expression: This is much more important to our physical, emotional and spiritual health and harmony than most people imagine. Humans are creative beings. Our purpose on Earth is to create in some way. We might create a painting, a piece of music, a dance, a family, a business,ect. Creative self-expression is essential for our health, harmony and happiness.

9. Meaningful Activity: This is necessary for us to feel that our life is worth living. If we do not see what we are doing as meaningful, useful or helpful in some way, we lose our reason to exist, and our health and happiness gradually deteriorate.

10. Massage: Shiatsu massage, polarity massage, spiritual healing, Reiki and other such energy-oriented types of massage can be especially effective in relaxing the nervous system and reducing negativity.

11. Cleansing Techniques: One simple method is to increase the number of showers or baths. Contact with water can be healing and calming.

12. Emotional Release: We might need to partake in a program of emotional release under the guidance of an experienced professional, who can help us release pent up emotions which undermine our health and energy level.

13. Social Harmonization: We need to discover and overcome any fears or beliefs that prevent us from feeling comfortable with others.

14. Spiritual Orientation: Each of us has their own personal relationship with the universe. Whether or not we adhere to any particular religion, it is important for our inner balance that we feel and cultivate our relationship with the whole as humanity, as nature, or as Spirit.

15. Self Knowledge: We need to understand our own inner mechanisms, needs, desires, fears, expectations, beliefs and subconscious workings in order to free ourselves from the negative emotions, mechanisms, which undermine our health, happiness and relationships.

16. Enlightening The Subconscious: This aspect of self-improvement usually requires an experienced professional who can help us reprogram the subconscious with positive, more objective beliefs and perceptions of ourselves, others, and the world.

 

17. Unconditional Love: Showing this towards ourselves and others is the ultimate key to a high and harmonious energy flow.

Ant of these 17 tips could (and might be) their own posts, but this provides a menu of options for when you’re feeling low, anxious, or just plain icky.

Last, playing off of colors and auras from last week, take a peek at the psychology of color… if you don’t feel good, you should at least look good! It really does help.

      White:  innocence, purity, and cleanliness, it’s often used for increasing feelings of spirituality.

      Black: authority, power, intelligence, strength, success (and it’s slimming!)

      Grey:neutral and practical- beware of gray if you’re feeling low energy.

      Red: passion, warmth, gentleness, love and inspiration. It can also lead to aggression, so wear with caution to critical conversations..

      Orange: energy, excitement, enthusiasm,  prosperity, and change.

      Yellow: sunshine, happiness, peace, and warmth. But beware! It can also be intense, causing anger or frustration , and increasing appetite.

      Green: health, calmness, fertility , and the environment.

      Blue: focus, calm, serene, truth, wisdom. Stock up on blue!

      Purple: royalty, exotic spirituality, prosperity, and the mystic.

      Brown: Natural, organic, earthy, and reliability.

      Pink: gentleness, calming, romance and love.

All of these can be used  whether on a subtle level or, to intentionally trigger  change, improve health and develop feelings of well-being.

Stop back next week for more of the weird and wonderful!

In Service,
