Last night‘s post about vinegar is an excellent reminder of the importance of paying attention to our vibrational state. See, the Law of Attraction teaches that your vibrational state–we might call it your mood– attracts more of where it happens to be. Your mood is like a radio signal, sending out a distinct vibrational signature or emotion. It could be enthusiasm, it could be boredom. It could be anger. It could be a combination of emotions.
Bear with me if this seems too simplistic: only those things that match your vibration will show up in your experience. So if you are happy, happy things show up in your experience. Conversely, if you are frustrated, angry, blaming, or resentful, things will show up that are a match for that.
The challenge here is that we may not always know the actual vibrations that we have going on. A person might be enthused about something, while also being worried or insecure. If the worry or insecurity is strong, it is likely to impact their experience in an unwanted way. That person’s experience will reflect the totality of vibrations they are emanating.
It’s a subtle thing, I know. I have been learning this stuff for years, and it took me awhile to get tuned to how I was really vibrating about things. Better said: it took me awhile to get tuned to how I was really feeling about things. In fact, Abraham-Hicks teaches there are two ways to know what vibration you are emanating:
- How you are feeling
- What is coming back to you
In other words, you can tell how you are vibrating on a subject–especially whether you are in alignment with what you want or not–based on how you feel when you think about the subject, and by the manifestations that show up in this area of life. If you feel overwhelmed or worried about something, that area is likely to be challenging. On the other hand, if the things you most desire are showing up easily and frequently, you got it going on vibrationally!
Personally, I do a lot of examination to see where I’m at vibrationally. Just today I caught myself in an insecure head space. Someone else was telling me their creative plans. I admired what they were saying…and instantly started feeling bad. My mind was judging me, telling me I was lame in comparison! The feeling started to snowball: I felt insecure with someone else I was around as well. With a little self-examination I realized I was in an insecure state. This attracted more “evidence” to be insecure about, in the form of uncomfortable thoughts coming up during my interactions.
Fortunately, I realized what was happening, and the insecurity quickly faded.
I am glad to be clearer these days when it comes to handling my own head space. A negative state is not proof of anything bad. It’s just an opportunity to re-tune, change the dial, and reach for something that feels better.
