| Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe |
| When we discuss “vibing,” the proverb “birds of a feather flock together” is highly applicable. You’ll notice that when you’re always down or whine a lot, you tend to attract and associate with other people that have these traits. Similarly, when you are happy and optimistic, you will find yourself surrounded by happy people who see the glass as half-full. All they will do is draw themselves to you. |
| We naturally become happy when we do various activities to heighten our consciousness and purify our vibrations. We’ll discover that people notice our positive energy and become drawn to it. |
| Let’s examine a few easy strategies for increasing our vibration and reaching our full potential. |
| Be Aware of Your Company |
| Our social circle plays a crucial role in our spiritual and emotional development. Those who resonate with us tend to be liked and socialized with more. They have the power to uplift us to a higher frequency or to pull us down and keep us bound to the ordinary. |
| We are affected by the thoughts of others. We sense when they are in a happy or negative mood. |
| Our mind and thoughts are like radio waves. You have the option to tune out certain (negative) frequencies and tune in to some (positive) ones. To prevent yourself from tuning into a negative frequency, you need to practice. Here’s when knowledge comes in handy to block off harmful vibrations. |
| Increase Prana, Life Energy |
| When your prana or life force is low, you experience all the negative emotions—you feel down, angry, tired, and doubtful. And when your prana or life energy increases, negative emotions are transformed into positive ones—you’re enthusiastic, productive, energized, and positive. |
| Hence, strengthening our life energy is a crucial step in raising our vibrations. This can be accomplished through regular yoga or meditation, pranayamas, or targeted breathing exercises like Sudarshan Kriya, among other daily routines. |
| Silence Improves Vibrations |
| Our energy is spent thinking. So, even if you do nothing except sit and think, you still lose energy. Participating in guided meditations and observing quiet can be highly beneficial. |
| Just a few days of a Silent Retreat helps cleanse the mind and spirit of unnecessary impressions, cravings, aversions, and distortions like hate, lust, and jealousy—all of which hold us down from growing spiritually and restrict our true freedom. |
| Spending Time in Nature |
| Our environment shapes who we are. If this is the case, the simplest method for clearing our vibrations is to spend time in nature. Nature is filled with the purest vibrations, and spending quality time in the lap of Mother Earth can do wonders for mental and spiritual health. |
| When we are outside—whether walking in the woods, gardening in the backyard, or just sitting by an open window to feel the breeze and sounds of the natural world—there is more sattva. Find methods to spend time each day indulging in this uplifting sattva, wherever you reside. |
