We often talk about the vibrations or vibes of people and places. What we usually refer to is our instinct or gut feeling of how you feel at a place or around a person. But what exactly are positive vibes?
Everything in this universe has some energy and vibrational frequency to it, including people, thoughts, words, emotions, and places. What we usually call as having negative or positive vibes or vibrations refers to this energy. In fact, your emotions have a direct impact on your body. Research has shown that your thoughts, emotions, and actions affect the vibrational rhythm of your body. While all your anxious thoughts, jealousy, ego, and regrets produce lower vibrations, the positive ones of gratitude, hope, and forgiveness raise your vibrations to more positive vibes. Transforming your vibrations can not only reduce anxiety and stress but has a larger impact on your physical health.
Signs that you have Positive Vibes
Now that we understand a little about positive vibes, let’s look at some common signs of having positive vibes.
1. People feel positive and hopeful around you
Positive vibes are contagious. Having positive vibes will have a larger impact on the people you meet and even your surroundings. The more time you spend in a particular place, the more attuned the vibrational energy gets to it. For instance, if you meditate in a particular chair or yoga mat every day, you effectively establish a safe space for peace and calmness. Now, try being in that space in a stressful state, and you will experience a marked reduction in your anxiety.
Similarly, positive vibes spread to people. Have you ever experienced feeling anxious after spending time with someone, or conversely, feeling remarkably positive and hopeful after meeting another person? Being around people with positive vibes, by default, impacts your vibrations and instills a sense of positivity and hope. If you ever got a compliment that talking to you made their day better or a little less stressful, then that was your positive vibes in action.
2. You are able to navigate through challenges
Having positive vibes doesn’t mean you won’t face challenges or will not have negative emotions of anger or anxiety. The only difference between higher and lower vibrations is the frequency of these incidents, and the time and energy required to get over these challenges. The more positive vibes you carry, the less time you take to get over the emotions of anger and anxiety. In other words, you swiftly move from a challenge-focused approach to a solution-driven positive mindset.
3. You tend to focus on positivity and hope
When you have positive vibes, you naturally tend to have a more optimistic and hopeful attitude in life. You begin to find happiness in small things, like good music or spending some quality time with your loved ones.
However, in the face of challenges, your mindset shifts, and you become adept at centering your attention on the valuable lessons and opportunities for personal growth that these challenges offer. It’s as if the lens through which you perceive life becomes attuned to the bright side of things, allowing you to navigate difficulties with a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead.
4. You forgive easily
If you have little or no grudges, regrets, or hatred for anyone in the past, you have positive vibes. Forgiveness comes more naturally to you when you have positive vibes.
Forgiveness isn’t just accepting what happened or stopping being angry about what happened. It is, instead, a conscious decision not to remain dominated by anger and resentment. Forgiveness is a transformation of your feelings and thoughts about the incident and choosing to let go of it. With positive vibes, you can let go of what happened and be compassionate or generous towards the person who wronged you.
5. You are driven by your ethics and values
People with higher vibrations or positive vibes are inherently driven by their personal ethics and values. While these values can differ from person to person, they are largely based on compassion, truth, ethical conduct, and the fundamental principle of ‘doing no harm’. You will see that the people with high vibes approach their actions with a sense of mindfulness, demonstrating heightened empathy and a readiness to extend help to others when required.
How to Invite Positive Vibes
There is no ‘prescribed’ formula that when applied, can instantly transform you into a person with positive vibes. You either have positive vibes or don’t.
Inculcating higher vibrations requires a huge transformation in your thought process, actions, and attitude in life. This transformation unfolds gradually and is contingent on the time and effort you are willing to invest in yourself. Here’s how you can cultivate positive vibes:
1. Practice empathy
The first and foremost way to begin having higher vibrations is by becoming more empathetic to people around you. While empathy comes naturally to a few, it can be inherited over time by others. You can be more empathetic by staying open and being non-judgmental while interacting with others, and understanding that everyone’s perspective on life challenges may vary. When we genuinely understand and share the feelings and experiences of those around us, it creates an environment of trust and mutual support.
2. Embrace Forgiveness
Cultivating empathy paves the way for forgiveness to flow more effortlessly. It involves acknowledging that each individual grapples with their own unique set of challenges, often acting from a place of ignorance or a restricted personal viewpoint. Forgiveness, in essence, signifies recognizing the limitations of others while liberating oneself from the emotional turmoil their actions may have caused. When you extend forgiveness to others, you not only release yourself from the burden of negative emotions but also open the door to invite positive energy into your own life.
3. Visit an Energy Vortex
Another avenue for infusing your life with positive vibes is to explore the potent energy vortex locations found around the globe. These sites are typically situated at the convergence of ley lines, which are straight paths that connect various sacred locations worldwide and align with electromagnetic energy. In essence, an energy vortex exudes a heightened concentration of Earth’s energy, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and solace, even for those who may initially be skeptical. Visiting an energy vortex can provide profound opportunities for manifestation, meditation, and healing experiences, allowing you to tap into the potent energies that emanate from these unique places.
4. Choose your Company Wisely
Having negative people in your life can be very damaging, and can pull you down into lower energies of unwanted stress, doubt, and pessimism. In contrast, when you spend time with influential mentors, leaders with vision, colleagues who offer positive criticism, or friends who are open and supportive of you, fosters an environment that encourages personal development, emotional well-being, and a sense of optimism, ultimately helping you imbibe positive vibes.
5. The Impact of 1% Shift
Imagine if you become a better version of what you are every day. This perspective contrasts with the conventional approach to self-improvement, which often involves setting lofty goals and striving for significant leaps to achieve them in the shortest time possible.
At the outset, the distinction between making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse may seem negligible. However, over time, these incremental improvements or declines accumulate, creating a considerable gap between individuals who consistently make slightly better choices and those who do not.
So, consider smiling a little more today, nurturing more positive thoughts, and taking small steps toward your aspirations. You’ll find that, over time, these small, definite changes help you garner more and more positive vibes by the day
6. Meditate
When it comes to harnessing positive vibes and elevating your energy, meditation stands as an indispensable practice. Dedicate a part of your day to the profound act of releasing the random thoughts that clutter your mind and immerse yourself in the present moment. The beauty of meditation lies in its versatility—there is no single ‘right’ way to meditate, for all forms lead to a common destination: a calm state of being.
Meditation helps you with a healthier body, reduces anxiety and stress, and more importantly, cultivates a sense of higher consciousness. Top of Form
7. Practice Gratitude
Saying thank you and acknowledging the good in life can make you happier and a person with positive vibes! Practicing gratitude is realizing all the tangible, intangible beauty around you, including the people in your life, celebrating your accomplishments at work, and the little luxuries of food in the refrigerator and clean water. Numerous research studies have shown that gratitude leads to improved health, an improved ability to deal with adversity, and build stronger relationships.
You can practice gratitude in your daily life by maintaining a gratitude journal, appreciating people whenever possible, or talking out loud and appreciating good things at the end of the day.
8. Remain Generous
Generosity isn’t just a boon for those on the receiving end; it’s equally beneficial for you in attracting positive vibes into your life. True generosity encompasses more than just monetary contributions to a cause; it extends to the kindness and benevolence you offer. It’s the act of being fully present when connecting with a friend and generously appreciating someone. It’s about extending a helping hand by providing food to someone in need or investing time to volunteer for a cause. In these acts of giving, you not only uplift others but also create an environment of warmth and positivity that enriches your own life.
