Recently I have begun reading a book on manifestation; something I’ve only discovered in recent years. A wonderful friend of mine introduced me to it and would often tell me to put things ‘into the universe’ and trust it would come back if it was meant to. We would often waste time at work attempting to manifest a thunderstorm that would cause a power cut that would then enable us to go home early. Needless to say, it never manifested for some reason! Although there was one night, we did hear thunder, however that power cut we wanted so badly never arrived, and we always left work on time.
Having always been a spiritual person, I wonder why I was never introduced to the world of manifestation sooner, but having learned a tad about divine timing too, maybe I was never meant to know about it until now!
I still have a lot of the book left to read, I’m not even halfway through yet, but I am soaking up every word on each page and it’s actually clicking in my brain. It feels as if I’m reading things I’ve known all my life but didn’t know had a name or purpose until now. In particular: the Law of Vibration.
In a nutshell, from what I have read so far, everything vibrates and its own rate. Everything from your cat, that chair you’re sitting on, that co-worker you hate, and that cuddly toy you take to bed! This vibration affects the things you draw into your life, as your vibration attracts things that vibrate at the same rate.
When I read this, it was as if something fell into place in my mind – I’ve always believed this, but I never had the words to explain it! When you click with someone and feel as if you can talk to them forever, or when you get that buzzy feeling from someone you want to get to know or even that strange, bad vibe that stops you from looking someone in the eye – it’s their vibration and it makes perfect sense to me.
If we have a high vibration, we attract good things, however, if we have a low vibration, we attract not-so-good things.
I like to think that I vibrate quite highly. Generally, I like to think I am quite a sunny person, that can be quite confident, and when I radiate them traits I feel the most comfortable. I haven’t always been this way; I think for the majority of my life I have vibrated at a low frequency. I have been bitter, rude, bossy (I still am, but I call I assertive these days), and living in a ‘why me’ mentality. It never felt comfortable, something always felt off.
Over the last ten years of my life, I would like to think I have learned to align my thoughts and feelings to where they are meant to be and in turn vibrate highly.
Despite becoming comfortable with vibrating highly and learning how it attracts things, and people around me, I have also become accustomed to some good, old toxic positivity along the way. I often get my wires crossed and keeping my vibration high becomes “I must be positive all the time or I will attract negative things!” which to put politely, is rubbish!
It’s unnatural to be positive all of the time, and in fact, feeling your feelings, figuring out what they mean, what to do with them and dealing with them in a helpful way, I believe, only adds to a high vibration. But putting it all into practice is exhausting, let me tell you!
The way I see it is like making a cup of tea with different milk – it’s still going to be a cup of tea, the same cup of tea it was always going to be. The milk doesn’t change the tea, it might change the taste slightly, but it’s still a cup of tea that’s going to warm your soul and give you a small caffeine fix. Sadness, like the milk, won’t change your vibration. It will affect how you feel in the present moment, but it won’t change your overall vibe.
I feel as if how you vibrate is your life’s baseline. Emotions and life situations come and go, but as long as your baseline stays intact, and on a level you’re comfortable with, then you’re good to go!
Even though I am still at the beginning of my spiritual journey, I am enjoying soaking up information, and realising the things I’ve known all along have names, and better still, that other people feel them too! (I’m not crazy after all, who knew?) I can’t wait to keep learning, hopefully keep my high vibrations, and, as always, throw any toxic positivity out of the window.
