I’m starting to go through a bout of depression. Sitting in the shop for five days straight with no customers will do that. Then missing one customer by missing a phone call by less than five minutes, well that just set it off. It’s got me thinking about levels of vibration and how they affect us, or we them.
The first three days of the week weren’t too bad. I spent most of the days typing up journal entries. Wednesday night, I proofed and posted all of the entries I had typed, which left me with nothing to do. I surfed the web (at dial-up speeds no less), read my book, played computer games. Booorriinng.
I had one person walk in. But he got a phone call as he did and had to leave. I missed a phone call Friday morning by less than five minutes. This one left a message about having shoulder problems and needing to see someone that day. I called back, but the phone rang and went to voice mail. I left a message that I could see her, but I never heard back. That sort of pushed me over the edge.
Through the entire week, I kept putting white light around the shop to make it attractive and draw people in. I did the same with the telephone. The further the week went on, the harder this got to do as I was fighting my own darkness. But on Friday, I started to notice some things that were happening, and come to a realization or two.
One of the first things I started noticing was how all of my pain areas hurt. I had initially written this off to it being cold. I have a few places that bother me because of recent problems or constant health issues. The more I walk (which I do daily if I can), the more my foot hurts. I think the arch is falling causing the outside of my foot to hurt. My shoulder is still sore from my little ‘trip’. My index finger knuckle hurts from where I almost broke it a few weeks ago. And my back is something that comes and goes. Now, normally, I don’t notice most of these problems, either that or, they just don’t bother me. The reason for this is that my vibration is usually at a higher level.
We each have our own vibration, our own signature on the universe. This is how I can find people when I reach out to work on them. Just the mention of them allows me to ‘feel’ a vibrational signature, which I use to locate them and work on them. Although the vibration of this signature does not change, the level that the person is operating at can.
The higher a person’s vibration is, the closer they are to the universe, and the further they are from feeling little nagging problems. Consequently, the lower one’s vibrations are, the more things bother them. Ever been in a bad mood? (Who hasn’t?) Ever notice how everything seems to bother you when you are? First you’re upset about something, and then someone says something that just doesn’t sound right to you. Then maybe you trip on something, and the hurt from that seems huge, and it bothers you all day? See where I’m going?
At the same time, when you have a higher vibration, you feel good, and nothing bothers you. When you look at things that would have really ticked you off when you were having a bad day, you just let them go as they aren’t worth dealing with. You seem to have an inordinate amount of patience and tolerance. In fact, you can’t understand why some people get upset over the smallest things simply because they don’t bother you, and you feel that these problems are too small to bother with.
Usually, I have a fairly high vibration. I worry about things like rent and so forth, but I try to keep that out of the mainstream of my mind. Too much worry can lower the vibration. I try to think about work, and healing people. There are many meditations to bring in money, but I prefer to bring in clients to heal. If I bring in people that need healing, then the money will follow, so my focus is on healing.
Love raises one’s vibrations. In fact love is one of the highest vibrations. On the other side, hate, fear, anger, well these things lead to the dark side of the force… uhh… they lower your vibrations. This is why I do the shielding exercise I do. It blocks negative energies, but lets positive energies (like love) come in so I am getting good stuff, but not bad.
Actually, I find it interesting. I walk in the morning (when I can get out of bed) for a minimum of a mile (this is twice around the block taking one dog each time). When I am feeling really up, my foot does not bother me. If I am working with a lower vibration, I have to go slower and come in early. I do know that if I picture all ties behind me being cut, and moving forward with new energy, I can walk straight with no pain, and no limping. But it’s a picture that I can’t keep going forever and eventually, I am back where I started. I have temporarily raised my vibration. I need to find a way to raise it and keep it going.
The same is true for everyone. What can we all do to be happier, and keep our vibration higher? That indeed is the question. Unfortunately, the answer can only be found within each one of us. For me, the more work I do, the better I feel. (I couldn’t say that when I was a programmer.) But my work is healing others, making others feel better. Doing this raises my vibration. Just like love, the joy of helping others makes me feel good. And realistically, isn’t there love in that desire to help after all?
That is one of the reasons I feel low after not working for a while. It has to do with how I feel when I do the work. If I go five days without doing any work, whether they be five days in the shop or on vacation, I don’t feel as good as I should, as I’d like to.
Sure the rent is a worry, a concern. And it’s a big one. Without the shop, I can’t do as much healing as I’d like to. So liking the truth of the situation or not, I need to make rent. But that’s only a worry. Doing healing, that’s the major issue. I need to work. I need to help others.
So, what brings your vibration up?
